My seat was so high up in Block Q,I though I had just died and was having an outer body experience

I've got to say that it was frustrating for 85% of the people up there because everyone seemed to wanna dance,sing etc but the atmosphere was very wooden and people seemed restrained where as people seemed to be more invovled on the lower levels.

Same set pretty much same lines as the Tuesday night as expected his remarks about getting older were well funny and one of the funniest quips I have ever heard from him.

I dont know if it just me but Morrissey seemed to be in a real catty sarky mood all night and I'm not sure what the chap said to him to get the "If you pulled the teeth out of your head I may be able to hear you" comment If it in response to something nasty maybe he deserved it but it was a vicious remark to make to a fan,I have been to about 15 Morrissey shows over the years and for the 1st time I saw the wasp-ish side to Morrissey on stage.

I enjoyed the set but cant wait for Dublin because in a smaller closer venue I reckon its going to be brilliant.

ROLL ON DUBLIN!!

I was sat at the front of the circle right opposite the stage on tuesday night. I felt everyone was a bit restrained, usually I'd stand up but everyone else around was sat, but hey! its the best Moz gig I've been to.

I hope he returns and does a tour of the provincial towns.

Yeah I agree.

I'd love to be going places like Grimsby,Derby,Carlisle etc etc

One of my Fav Morrissey gigs was in Hartlepool.

Last night I felt so sorry for some of the younger fans who you could see really wanted to get demented but had to sit and hold back all there emotions.

I'd standing in Dublin so I cant wait to have a go and getting on stage Its been years since those stage diving days of my youth.

December 1999 I think it was in a really old fashioned dance hall from the 1950s!

The venue was not even in the City Centre and christ it was cold!!
