The Smiths & Morrissey thread

Morrissey is a great no doubt but how he largely disregards The Smiths era, very odd, shows in his solo setlists noticed there aren't many Smiths songs, for me the best band Manchester has produced.

4-5 Smiths’ songs per gig is hardly “disregard”.

Extra night added at Liverpool.
I’m doing the Troxy as it’s a cracking venue and Leeds in the open air doesn’t appeal.

Now that I didn’t spot. I shall have a look. Cheers.

I have a ticket. Thank you, friend. The Smiths changed my life so this gig is everything to me.

Understandably, but he is no Weller

As long as I can recall from 2002 onwards every gig has a minimum of 4 Smiths songs.2

He has been a solo artist for 35 years this year so too many songs to choose from. He has never been a greatest hits type of tourer. Sometimes he throws in a little nugget like Our Frank which until last year hadn’t been played live for over 30 years.

So Alain Whyte is out of the band and Morrissey has his first female band member in Carmen Vandenberg.
As ever the departure is met with a wall of silence....

I see Moz in July. Bought this from Afflecks today.

Bit annoying that as Alain adds something for me.
