What towns and cities have you been to a Smiths or Morrissey concert in?

[MindlessRuffian]

I'm a little intrigued as to the lengths of travelling people have been to to see our idol. Feel free to share. For me, it's only London and Manchester, but I also have tickets for Leeds in Oct .

NYC - Hammerstein 10/26/07
Montclair, NJ - Wellmont 3/16/09

I would have seen him at the (much closer and more convenient) Arts Center in 07...but you know the drill, sudden illness the day before...show is kaputt.

Apart from Manchester, where i've seen him a fair few times, i've seen him in Llandudno and Leeds.
The Llandudno gig in 06 was such an intimate affair in a very small room a bit like a working man's club with a bar at the back.
I remember his words as he came on stage. He looked around and just shrugged and said, "We'll do our best."

A great night.

 

[los christianos]

Only Manchester, once. Leeds will be added to that health-permitting.

also considering sheffield...

only seen him once,in hull arena.he rocked the place.if they made a dvd of that gig it would be the best show ever,check him out in hull ice arena on u tube,he was over the top,no wonder he cancelled gigs after that,he was unbelievable,i was at front,it was heavy

 

[2megatherion]

My list looks pretty pathetic now.

 

[No Place Like Rome]

My list looks pretty pathetic now.

I'm sure it will grow

come to scotland LOL

My list looks pretty pathetic now.

not at all , some great gigs in there

 

[girl still ill]

My little list doesnt look that impressive, but i did narrowly avoid death on the way home from the Dundee gig

Had driven up that morning, queued from 3pm, waited till midnight at stage door and off home I went. Driving alone on the motorway, in the middle of the night, after no sleep or food is a really silly thing to do

[Lucretia]

I seen the very last Canadian show of his in Vancouver 1997. It eas awesome we were there when he came off the bus and everyone was so quiet until I yelled "Morrissey, Morrissey, Morrissey"

 

[Harsh Truth]

Would like to see Moz in Texas sometime, as well as Montreal if he ever lifts his silly Canadian strike. Also Nashville would be cool. Also San Fran as I can't think of any other reason (besides maybe work) that I would go there but I do want to see it. Moz would be a good excuse.

And of course Italy or Switzerland but I'll be returning to those places with or without Moz.

Reminds me of Mozzer's supposed plans to tour India about a decade ago. Julia was very excited about it. Naturally, it didn't happen.
