You may well be aware that last night Morrissey played an intimate show for BBC Radio 2 at the Radio Theatre in London. We think your users would love to hear the gig, a brand new interview and see some pictures of the event. And - best of all - later today/early tomorrow the full concert will be available on to watch on the Radio 2 website, so feel free to spread the word and keep an eye on this link.
Many thanks and enjoy!

new version. Better sound. Don´t miss it!!! (Score:3, Informative)
There is a new FM version uploaded this evening to a torrent site by a guy named "paul_b35_uk". I have converted it to mp3 and uploaded it to megaupload again in case you wish to download this new version.
I highly recommend it, It sounds far far better than the internet streaming version I uploaded myself yesterday. My personal thanks to Paul for his torrent version that I´m uploading now for you (converted to mp3).
Here´s the link for the full show:

18:10 A forum user Crimes who won ticket from true-to-you competition came to look for Uncleskinny said hello.
Hang around to get a spare ticket, but no luck.
18:55 queue started moving, by 19:45 people got tickets were in the building.
19:05 I saw one of the presenters of the show Stuart Maconi at the door.
Opposite of Broadcasting House, The Langham seemed to have some celeb function or party.
Some photographers were taking pictures in front of the building.
You might find out about it from one of the weekend tabloid sapplements.
Six of us were told by the BBC employees that Morrissey would be on stage 21:00.
They'd let us know if they could accommodate us or not around 20:50.
Had to wait outside of the building in freezing temperture.
20:00 Uncleskinny came out for smoke and told me that there might be a chance to get in.
20:15 Arturo came out from the building.
A woman went to talk to him and asked his help.
20:20 XFM's Ian Camfield and his FIVE colleagues entered in the building.
20:45 They told ten of us endured the freezing weather that the venue was absolutely packed, they were unable to let us in.
However, they allowed us to sit in the reception area, so we could listen to the live from the radio broadcasting.
20:50 A BBC veteran news reader Michael Burke and former Conservertive MP now TV & Radio personality Micheal Portillo were coming out from the building.
20:55 Other presenter Mark Radcliffe and two people dashed into the venue. He was introducing the live.
21:03 After the news Radcliffe introduced Morrissey and live begun.
21:15 Stuart Maconi came out who smiled at us.
21:50 Maconi came back to the venue.
Very sad that unable to see the gig, but at least I enjoyed listening to the live from the radio.
It's the most bizarre situation to listen to Morrissey live.

things that make morrissey-solo worthwhile coming to.
He said pretty much the same things he has been saying for since I spoke my first word, but, oddly, it's tireless refreshing to hear them - I mean, his position on fame, on life expectancy, the public image, etc.
What adds a special charm to this latest interview is that he is not as evasive as he was a few years ago, he is more straight to the point - something I noticed in his YOR's work as well. I loved it when he brought up that people almost NEVER say anything they truly feel. I feel the same way (of course). Life in the northern part of the globe is quite a masquerade. And when you lived more than half of it that way... you either drop down your mask or you become the mask.
And it was quite funny to listen to him trying to interview the interviewer as well - how many artists do that?
I don't care what people say about him, he is a remarkable person, and just getting better and better.

Crashing Bores – ugh. This song is a crashing bore and well beyond it’s sell-by date.
Only two Smiths songs. Interesting.
Nice representation of Southpaw
Ringleader seems to have been sent to a farm upstate
Would love to hear him do Interesting Drug again. It sounded really good live on the two airings in 2007.
I’m not entirely sure what to make of This Charming Man. I am a punk lover (real punk. Boots and Braces, Spirit of ’77, stuff) but I’m just not sure that arrangement works.

Mikey is sorely missed (keyboards can't replace trumpets) and too much of Jesse's guitar work is...sludgy. Otherwise excellent!

It sounds like I will have to change my dance for 'This Charming Man'! No more flailing and camp gestures - it's headbanging time (well, sort of!)
I am really excited about the shows in May - it seems so long away, groan. Meanwhile YOR will keep us going. The songs are going to fly in a live performance - well, with Moz they always do!
Terrific.

The interview with Mac Onie was really nice...Morrissey can be very warm when he knows the interviewer isn't interested in stitching him up; he can relax and be almost "real"?
As for the live show...it was simply wonderful.
One could have predicted peoples reaction to This Charming Man...the same people would be the ones to complain had he not played it. Morrissey plays what he wants when he wants...we should be grateful that he isn't churning out "greatest hits" sets (which is exactly what Blur will be doing this summer...yawn) and gives us something, er, "real" (again with the reality!)
"I Keep Mine Hidden" was lovely...a real treat.
As for the "Refusal" tracks...they get better and better with each listen.
Congratulations Morrissey.

The band are second rate - Morrissey should know this by now - liven it up ffs - how about collaborating with Sparks? Anything?
This Charming Man - Should have been a highlight - Band don't know subtlety -- Mozzer can't hit those notes.
Not one song played of any interest - All songs sounded the same - "I know" "I'll do a slow on off Vauxhall and I" - "I'll choose the biggest dirge on the album though"!
Anyone want my tickets for Stirling and Glasgow - I'm not looking forward to these at all. Please god may I be wrong!
Ps - Album shocking - two songs from a greatest hits album released about a year ago - another four (average) songs which have been played live for over a year
I've never posted anon before but I can't be arsed with all the abuse I'd get if I put my user name.
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated...

I can't believe that being a Morrissey follower for years, you haven't been caught by the beauty of 'seasick' or the graceful hysteria of 'I'm ok by myself'.Being disapointed by 'Charming man' or 'I'm throwing' is one thing, but burning everything...?
