I got on stage!!!! Great Show!!!! (Score:2, Interesting)
I am exhausted but got on stage clear and easy,shook hands and left gracefully with a guiding hand from a pretty considerate security guard. Ialso got a nice cheer from a friendly crowd. I got to meet the famous girl from Hulmerist and the channel 4 Documentary.
At front right of stage with good people. managed 3 handshakes, and gave Him my business card!!!
Morrissey did a superb job, the band were excellent, props in particular to drummer who Ranked in with the big gong in dramatic fashion. Okay i have driven nearly 700 miles today, i am beat!

Bejaysus! – gladiolas, daffodils etc (Score:1)
Because he's used flowers as performance enhancers in the past, here’s a tentative exploration of what that might be about that someone might appreciate! It’s from the perspective of a heterosexual male struggling with some risky specifics in his efforts to safeguard mutual pleasures with his woman (but hardly explicit enough for our Beavis n’ Butthead- mimicking comrades in the g. bk. side-show, transfixed as they are on a lurid treadmill of delirious virtual neuro-linguistic excitations – can’t please everyone). However, the article could be an apt metaphor for the mixed messages and confusion around interpreting communications at the personal, as well even as at a stage-audience, level e.g. to befriend or/(and) to discourage. About those subtle influential languages between ‘language’ etc – dictionaries not normally provided! About knowing your media, maybe? It’s from last Saturday’s “Irish Times” Newspaper (www.ireland.com ) so pl. excuse any parochialism (even though the local chaotically composes the global, say more really Big Big-noses). “The Last Straw” column is written by the affable Frank McNally.
“Beware of the Dog Rose”
A while ago, the Irish Times Magazine had a feature about “the language of flowers”, accompanied by a glossary of symbolic meanings. Blue violets represented “faithfulness”; lavender signified “distrust”; red carnations meant “alas for my poor heart”, etc. And as an occasional flower purchaser of the male gender, I read this with a certain amount of what the mandrake plant apparently symbolizes: “horror”. Like many men who dropped out of emotional vocabulary class early, I had often taken the horticultural sector’s self-serving advice: “Say it with flowers”. Now I found myself wondering what the hell I’d said.
Throughout my years of flower-buying, I’d been like a tourist in a dangerous country using a Berlitz phrase-book without the English translations. When I hoped I was asking “where is the nearest post office?” I may instead have blurted: “Stand back! I have a bomb!”
If the glossary was accurate, the mind boggled at where certain flowers could lead your love-life. Take the dog rose, which was said to represent “pleasure and pain”! And not even basic items of fruit were free of significance. You might be safe enough presenting your loved one with a pineapple (meaning “you are perfect”). But it was with some relief I realized I’d never bought any woman a watermelon (“bulkiness”).
Of course it’s possible these meanings are unknown to most women too. After all, the red carnation is a staple of Irish weddings; and many brides also seem to have missed the symbolism of having the service accompanied by the theme song from “Titanic”. But as male readers will agree, you can never be confident that the obscure associations of plant-life will be lost on women; because there’s a whole body of such information, secretly passed down from mothers to daughters, that we know nothing about.
Here’s one example that is common knowledge. For centuries, no doubt frustrated by their menfolk’s inability to express feelings, women have been known to consult daisies (“he loves me, he loves me not”) for insights about their relationships. I rest my case.
Incidentally, the risks of floral misunderstanding are exacerbated by the Internet. A Google search for “say it with flowers” shows that one of the top-ranked websites is an Italian florists’ chain exporting to 100 countries. Obviously a successful business, this site has an English version, albeit one that was apparently translated by computer. In a section on “symbology”, it warns: “Attention also to don’t give a yellow flower to the girlfriend, because it is the symbol of treason”. This is reasonably clear (if alarming), as is the website’s suggestion that men can receive floral tributes, “on condition that it

From the back to the front! (Score:1)
It was such an amazing show! I was disapointed with my seats at the beginning of the concert. We were in rowq BB, in the middle. So when the lights went down, my friend and myself walked casually all the way down to the front! To row 5! As the show went on, we got to the very front, and we shook Morrisseys hand twice.
As the encore came on, I helped my friend get on stage and she hugged Moz!! It was so great, and so wonderful! Luckily I was able to take the picture above. The guy standing next to me got his camera taken away. So enjoy people!
After the show, my friend derrick tried climbing one of the trees to get a glimpse of the band in their dressing room, he got a wave from Boz..but Moz wasnt in sight.

I went to the concert from Italy. I follow Moz wherever I can, and I must say that the audience, at least the one around me, was a bad surprise.
I do not expect that people recognize Munich Air Disaster or The Never Played Symphonies. But somehow the world is full of crashing bores. There are ones that never knew the existance of Last Night I Dreamt...so sad...
Looking forward to Earl's Court in December.
I don't know if it's been said already, but Moz last night sand the words "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" at the end of the song, which he has never sung in almost 20 years. Had he done it already in this US tour?

Great Miami Shows............BUT (Score:1)
Leave the music alone. For me a diehard fan of Morrissey and also his music this bothered me.I guess when he sings "THE TEENAGERS WHO LOVE YOU WILL WAKE UP YAWN AND KILL YOU".Thats me I guess. "THERE SPEAKS A TRUE FRIEND", and that’s just the way it goes. I Thought for sure Alain would have been back by now for my 2 shows in Miami but I guess he is very ill . If anyone has any insight on what the deal is with Alain it would be greatly appreciated? The Live boots of the first leg of the tour when Alain is playing with the band is awesome!
When its all said and done the concert was a (B+) and Morrissey’s voice was an (A+), the band was a (B-),the song selection the first night was a (B+) and the second night was an (A). Most notably "SHAKESPEAR
