But the show was good. I had fun. And that's all that matters. Can't wait for tomorrow's show. Hopefully, he'll change the set list by throwing in a new song or two. I'd hate to hear the same songs for the rest of the Wiltern shows.
Oh yeah, the #8 song was "Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice"

other than that and the large man who puked near the trash can, it was amazing as ever.. after seeing moz about 20 times now, tonight was in the top 5 for me.. though i missed 'hand in glove'. his comment that went something like "aren't you missing law and order.. or roseanne" cracked me up :)

Keyboards = ugh (Score:0)
His choice of Smiths songs is bad. Headmaster Ritual just sounds crappy; Rush and a Push is too slow. The best song of this tour is Irish Blood. I'm Not Sorry is truly laughable ("I was a good boy/I had a good paper route"?), Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice is retarded. It's too bad he didn't write No One Can Hold a Candle to You because that's a great song. Second best of the setlist, I'd say.
The crowd isn't in to it because the songs are too slow. There's really not a "rocker" in the bunch. I thought the crowd was pretty dead again tonight, although much better than Anaheim. Well, whatever. I'm still gonna say the Oye Esteban Tour was the greatest. Small clubs, best setlist, didn't have to pay $60 for a ticket. Ah, the good ol' days.
I'm sorry. It's late. I'm a little disappointed and just wanted to rant. Sigh.

funny thing though, some of the crowds at the show are gettin' younger and younger. That is probably the reason why not many people were into the show; of course until he played HOF and TIALTNGO. ....gosh how my youth is gone!

After waiting in line for the majority of the day by myself, my friends finally joined me around 6. By that point the line was snaking around the block, past the Denny's on the corner and behind the building. There were maybe 30 or so people in front of me.
We were let in at 7pm and immediately made a beeline for the front. At the Wiltern, the entire floor is general admission, BUT if you head down to the very front of the floor, the pit, they give you a wristband so that you can go in and out of that area. They only give out 200, and when they're gone, no one else can get in to that area. The three of us went down and got our wristbands, but we then decided we may have a better vantage point from the raised section just behind the pit. So there we went, and apart from the people on the rail in the very front, I think we probably had the best vantage point in the whole place.
Opening band goes on. The Killers. Not bad. They only play for a half hour, then the intermission tape starts. I only recognized a few songs- Brigitte Bardot's "Bubble Gum", New York Dolls' "Subway Train", also "No One Can Hold a Candle To You" by Raymonde, which he actually covered during the show. Last song before the entrance music sounded like Sinatra. Trying to confirm.
Before The Killers went on, there was a large hispanic man who was being particularly loud and boisterous and annoying. He tried to bribe one of the security guards to let his non-wristband friend into the pit area; and at one point he and another friend turned around and looked back at one point and he said "You see all those people back there? They all WISH they were us right now!!" Well, this chump ended up puking his guts out all over himself before Morrissey even took the stage. He tried to make it into the trash can in the corner below us, but he didnt quite make it. He also soiled himself. It was really rather repulsive. Then, as he passed out, he slipped on his own vomit and fell on the floor. He laid there for a few minutes before security escorted him out.
Onward then! The lights finally go out, people scream and become hysterical, and nothing happened for a good 4 or 5 minutes, because I think security was trying to make sure the two entrance areas to the pit were a bit more fortified. Once the lights went out the crowd behind us suuuuuuuuuurged forward (a bit pointless really- where are they gonna go? we're still 15 feet back from the stage) so you could see bouncers scrambling to tighten things up a bit. FINALLY, the entrance music starts- and it's awesome. Weird keyboardy thing while some woman with a Liverpudlian accent just lists a whole bunch of things that really suck: "Homelessness. Racism. The Jimmy Swaggart Show. War. Apartheid." etc. etc. The backdrop is this huge glittery felt curtain that they pulsated with a strobe during the opening. A cool effect.
FINALLY, Morrissey goes on, with the rest of the band we have come to know and love PLUS the addition of a new keyboard player, "Mikey." The guy plays a little bit of everything. Keyboard, conga drum, maracas, tambourine, and even a theramin at one point in the show. This is the first time that Moz has ever toured with a keyboard player. I think he's a great addition. He helps fill out the sound a lot.
A brand new song was played tonight- "Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice", which isn't going to be on the album or any of the single's b-sides, so who knows when it will ever come out. The rest of the set has already been much discussed, so I won't go into it too much, but there were a lot of songs I love, and a couple of songs I wish he would drop already because I've heard them so many times by now.
4 or 5 people made it onstage to hug and kiss and generally molest Moz, including my longtime friend Kristina, who almost lost her top in the scuffle with security. Was pleased to see that she made it.
Oh, and there was this absolute RETARD of a guy who decided he wanted to do a little crowd surfing on
