The Smiths & Morrissey thread

My favourite was the unsigned tour of 2002 which you probably attended. Blackburn King Georges Hall was brilliant and a great setlist. Other than that, this has been my favourite and I’ve been to a gig or three every time he has toured since 1997 Chester Northgate Arena, a bizarre venue !
That was my 1st Morrissey gigs.... too busy travelling and having kids in the 90's....
I did 1st night Royal Albert Hall, Brum, Bradford, Blackburn and Dublin (1st night).
So a special one for me.

2006 was my fave..... 14 gigs including Russell Brand TV show with my only handshake.
The gigs were
Dublin x 2, Salford, Grimsby, Halifax, Man Apollo and Bridgewater Hall, Birmingham, Rome, Russell Brand, Berlin, Hamburg, GMEX x 2

Gmex was a good one. Near Christmas ! Empress Ballroom at the tale end of 04 was good too.

 
Fantastic news..... but very bizarre how the UK is excluded.

Capitol Records (Los Angeles) will release Morrissey’s ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ in February 2023. The album will be released worldwide except for the United Kingdom, where there is no label deal.

‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ is produced by Grammy-producer Andrew Watt, and was recorded in Los Angeles. The musicians on the album are Jesse Tobias, Andrew Watt, Josh Klinghoffer (ex-Chili Peppers), and Chad Smith and Flea (both of the Chili Peppers). The album features Miley Cyrus and Iggy Pop on additional vocals.

The eleven tracks are: I Am Veronica, Rebels Without Applause, Kerouac’s Crack, Ha Ha Harlem, I Live in Oblivion, Bonfire of Teenagers, My Funeral, Diana Dors, I Ex-love You, Sure Enough The Telephone Rings, Saint In a Stained Glass Window. Album art is by Liam Lynch.

Capitol Records (Los Angeles) has also licensed the rights to re-release Morrissey’s albums ‘Southpaw Grammar’, ‘You Are The Quarry’, ‘Ringleader of the Tormentors’, ‘Years of Refusal’ and ‘World Peace is None of Your Business’, and these will be available in deluxe vinyl/LP formats.

As with ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’, the albums will be issued worldwide except for the United Kingdom until a UK label steps in. Morrissey is managed by Maverick/Quest in Los Angeles.

Regardless of what they even sound like, you can’t help but look twice at song titles like those.

I went to that, the boozer facing it played smiths songs all the time we was in there if I remember.
Plus I'm sure he opened with I want the one I can't have, I'm 99.9% sure as it's one of my favourite smiths songs and it blew me away that he played it.
