2 July 2007
Following the postponement due to illness of several shows last week, we are delighted to announce that Morrissey's U.S. tour will recommence tonight at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va. Morrissey was suffering with a viral infection that brought his show in Boston at the Bank Of America Pavilion to a halt after seven songs last Tuesday the 26th of June. . . . The Boston show has been successfully rescheduled for this Saturday the 7th of July, and all tickets from the original date will be honored.
Yay? I'll believe it when I'm happily leaving a fantastic show late Saturday night.

Hahaha. I don't know, probably not. We shall see.
― ENBB, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 15:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Oops, he did it again. B'more cancelled. Now I'm all dressed up and no place to go. Caught most of the show last nite in Wolf Trap--he seemed in a really good mood, but he seemed to cut out early--after a 1 song encore. Cross fingers for Boston!

WAIT WHAT??!?!??!?!?!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― ENBB, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Looking back, I think maybe the reason he was in such a good mood was because he was souped up on meds. He was loopy, and when the band huddled arms to take their bow, he didn't come up again for an uncomfortably long time, until Mikey (I think) broke the huddle.
A tribute band is scheduled to play for free tonight at the venue in his stead--maybe he will watch?

Did he redeem himself, Boston?
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 9 July 2007 02:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes!!! In fact, it was incredible. He came out dressed in a tux and really gave it his all. We're still in awe of how great it was. For the last couple songs we snuck up front and were two rows from the stage. It was amazing.

Erica-
I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

Awesome, so you got 6 extra songs for free. Also, well done for sneaking up front. It's the only place to be. I saw a pic of the tux tho, and I was wondering, is it possible it was just a regular suit mixed with a tuxedo shirt & bow tie? That ol' sartorialist.

Definitely. By the time we got upfront and therfore close enough to see, he'd already changed his shirt twice. Also, he only did a one song encore Sat night too so you didn't miss out on anything!
[begin slightly creepy bit] After the show we went out dancing and ended up meeting someone who'd been at the show. It was his 92nd Morrissey (!!) show and he'd managed to get a piece of one of the shirts M through in the audience. In a drunken state, he made me smell said bit of shirt and I am happy to report that whatever cologne Morrissey wears smells amazing. [/slightly creepy bit]

the set seemed short! And we were sitting way in the back ;_; It was AWESOME, though!!
Morrissey: "Thank you, what's this?" Man in front row: "It's a scrapbook of the last twenty years!" Morrissey: "..Of you, or of me?" Man in front row: "Of us!" Morrissey: "...Fabulous."

he also pulled a young girl onstage briefly and said "This is my daughter." Still can't figure out if he was joking or not, but I can't find any buzz about it anywhere so I'm presuming I just missed a wink or something.
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 21 July 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
My sister left a message all giddy and said she held his hand three times, hmm maybe it was my sister on stage! Word is Pigsty and National Front Disco were on the setlist but were scrapped u_u

Curis-
She's my flesh and blood. I had a torrid three day affair with her mother after a particularly memorable stay in Albuquerque some years back.

:( He played ~17 songs plus a 1-song encore and then left. He was touching a lot of people's hands though! Wish I'd been up front :/

Myrtle Beach was off the hook. Sigh. No more shows for me.
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, you went to Murder Beach, too? I'm sorry I missed you!
I was up front on the Mikey Farrell side. Flew in at 9 am on the red eye from SoCal after pulling two consecutive 12.5 hour clicnicals. It was worth it. Except Moz was kind of a dick to me.
Here's what I wrote to a list about the incident:
I felt things were going swimmingly until Moz handed me the mic again and pwned me a little past the set midpoint. At first, while he was standing in the center, he looked over towards me and squinted a lot, trying to read my shirt.
http://www2.gol.com/users/melemail/stuff/greatesttits.jpg
I think this was during a song. After it, he came over and stared down at my chest and face. He leaned in and asked, "Do you still see Charles?" and gave me the mic. I answered, "Yes, I ran into him a couple of weeks ago. Didn't he tell you?" Moz took back the mic and responded, "Why should he?" and then HANDED the mic BACK to me. If it were simply rhetorical, he should've just kept the mic.
I began to answer, but before I could get four words out, he became impatient, made tapping gestures on his imaginary wristwatch. So I said, "I'm sorry" and handed the mic back to him. He proceeded to mock me as he is wont to do saying "See, you give someone the spotlight and they go blah blah blah." Bastard. Then I yelled at him, "Well, you asked for it!"
At least Moz didn't fall down in mock agony and the stagehands didn't come out and try to pull the mic cord away from me the way they did to a girl on the opposite side of the stage who told her tale of woe of how she had to come to Myrtle Beach to get more of Moz because she only got 4 songs at the Hollywood Bowl due to being stuck in traffic. Moz is very impatient: Five seconds (1 sentence) seems to be the max time allowed for an answer.
The first time he gave me the mic, he was much nicer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t-AezM_-nBc

He sounds like a bit of a dick.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 01:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, but I still lerv him. I'm getting used to his teasing. On some thread about being nice, someone English commented on how he thought it was practically a national trait to be nice to those whom you despise but not so nice to people you like. Moz is like that. He is so kind and polite to the rudest stalkers, and yet he has said the unkindest things to his own band members on stage.
I liked how th'Lads sported bruises and black eyes. Moz introduced them as once robust ice hockey players. But I think Moz beat them up himself...or at least directed the make-up application.
― Melinda Mess-injure, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 01:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey Mel,
We were probably in very close proximity--though I would have noticed that shirt for sure. I was second row center, slightly Boz-side. About that incident, I thought he was talking to Julia, so I didn't think much of it, just thought he was being cheeky. Yeah, I thought it was funny when he lay down on the stage while the girl was talking. I think he was just in a very rambunctious mood. It must be so hard to be handed the mike impromptu like that. I wasn't in any danger of that, being farther back, but one of my greatest fears came true, with the shirt being thrown in my general direction: carnage. I didn't even try to get a piece, I just tried to get out of the melee. The boys in the band all looked smoking that night--and they didn't sound bad either:)

Dear Morrissey,
It's me again. I recently purchased tickets to your next show here in Boston on October 30th. I'm just giving you a heads up so you can prepare in advance to be as wonderful as you were last time. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and hope the tour is going well.
Love,
