What's around the corner?

Do we know if there's an opening act?

[HoyaSaxa03]

there's probably two dozen restaurants within a block or two... we're going to ceiba

red cortez is the opener, and they actually sound pretty good

Show was great.  I didn't hoard any videos like I did from the Richmond show because they were all so strict there with even having a cell phone.  My friend was able to go from our seats to the very front of the stage so that was cool.  All in all good show.

They really need to release the version of "How Soon is Now" that they played (they also played it at Wolftrap a year or two ago). It's so intense, and the gong/ drums at the end really set it off. The band worked similar magic with "Death of a Disco Dancer."

He pulled out a few pretty obscure songs: I Keep Mine Hidden (Smiths B-side and possibly the last song the Smiths ever recorded) and The Loop (B-side from Kill Uncle).

Years of Refusal is so damn good.

"It's Not Your Birthday Anymore" is up there with his best songs... classic moz

You must have been quite pleased he played it last night then.  Sounded great live.

Good show, but I found it lacking somewhat, compared to previous local shows.  Can't quite put my finger on why.

it did sound great... thought it was a fun show, not exceptional or anything... pretty heavy on the slowish theatric songs, which was ok with me... i would've liked to have heard anything off of "queen is dead"

moz seemed pretty pissed off at the big rent-a-cop standing in the stage-right aisle during the first half of the show and sending people back to their seats ... in between songs moz had a huddle with his own security guy and sent him around to have a chat with the rent-a-cop, who left soon after

being able to bring drinks back to the seats was great... warner is infinitely better than DAR

red cortez was impressive, had some good ryan adams-y moments

[shemptiness]

I don't remember being able to bring drinks in at Warner.  Has this policy changed recently?

there were big signs up saying you could bring drinks to your seats for this performance... didn't seem permanent

It's extremely rare (really rare) drinks aren't allowed at seats.   For almost every show (concert, theater, comedy, even dance) the Warner allows drinks inside all seating areas.

I thought the show was great, but not as good as the last one at DAR.  We also went to Ceiba before the show.  Yummy!

Really loved hearing Death of a Disco Dancer and Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself.

Band sounded great and his voice was not messed up...so thumbs up from me!

[eltee]

good show. Morrissey's band is pretty tight.
Red Cortez, pretty good the first 4 songs, then I snoozed, then back up for the last two.
Been awhile since I've been to Warner. Cozier than DAR and the staff isn't as militant. A little wait for drinks, but over all, I'd go to another show there over DAR. The crowd was especially decent too.

[diediemydarling]

i touched him. woah.

[K8teebug]

jealous.

[wml7]

My friend was able to touch him too and she got two water bottles from him.
