People (rock fans mainly) will regularly wank over the ability of guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Keith Richard's, Eric ClappedOut etc etc but how the fuck is Johnny fucking Marr not mentioned in the same breath?

He was absolutely superb last night...... it was a joy to be there in Boston watching a Mancumian City fan bringing the house down......

Does he still wear his Beatle wig from 1964 ?

It's a joint headline tour, I believe. So sometimes Johnny Marr goes on first; sometimes James do. I think.

Not sure I could watch James playing such short sets. It would be very frustrating when they go off after only 75 minutes! Still the best live band on the planet.

This is terrible news. I have a photo with me and my kids, in the iconic doorway. Wonder if Morrissey or Marr will donate a few bob?

It's an on going problem. Morrissey donated £10k around 15 years ago to the roof fund.

Sadly I think the building is just too big to be maintained and operating on a daily basis.
The work the club and staff do is fantastic and there is a great need for it to remain open. The issue I have here is it needs 250k to see it through to November - and then how much is needed for December and January? Is it just throwing money at it to delay the inevitable?
The club needs a long term investment / funding package to secure its future and this I'm afraid isn't it the answer for long term stability but a quick fix.

Strange decision.

They were playing to 18000 at the co-op arena in June!

I thought it strange too. They played to a general admission venue with a 2700 capacity in Brooklyn. I thought they were the headliners, but no.
Everyone in the audience was there to see marr, and quite a few seemed to hate Morrissey when some of them were chatting to me asking who James was. It was all bizarre really.
Tim booth seemed a little pissed off in his set. When he was coming into the audience, he stopped, went back up stage and announced to all to put their "fucking" phones away as they were in his face. He also made one or two other patronising comments to the audience, which is very unlike him.
Some of those wankers in the front recorded the entirety of both sets, which was bizarre as some of them were the ones that asked me who james was.
Don't want to ever go to brooklyn again. Rubbish atmosphere. Although I already have tickets to a Maiden concert there.
