Birmingham was just a lovely show and we love it when he comes here. He was in fine voice. I adore seeing him live. Birmingham rules, and the AL theater is a stunning venue.

Nice my brother!

Hi Jamie I stumbled across your channel this evening and it’s nice to hear all your thoughts m, perspectives and experiences of the MOZ shows you’ve attended. You’re so right about the stage invaders of nowadays, it should now be left in the past as seeing middle aged wannabes waddle around on stage wanting to touch him for me is very cringe full, especially when they’re female with chrysanthemums in hand dancing round him makes me despise these type of fans. Sorry but that’s just my feelings and I apologise if I offend anyone. I live in Manchester, England where I have lived for 48 years being a huge Smiths fan from the age of about 10 being introduced to them by my older brother. I live in a Manchester suburb called Baguely we’re Jihnny Marr grew up through his teens, his family (brother, not sure about his parents) still live round the corner about 200m away. Stretford is about 4-5miles away where Morrissey lived. I could go on with various stories but I don’t want to bore you. I’ll quickly say my mum used to work with Johnny’s mother in law (Angie’s mum) over 30yrs ago, she would sometimes come round to ours with various Smiths t-shirts, vinyl singles/albums, posters from when she’d been round to Johnny’s and got various things she could from Johnny’s cellar. My brother and I were very lucky and it was lively if her to bring us so many Smiths items, many rare and collectors items. Also about 15yrs ago a guy I knew said he’d given Johnny my phone number as I worked for an electronics/ Music product distribution company and he wanted to buy some new microphones & headphones. I thought nothing of it, 2 days later sat in my car one lunchtime at work my mobile phone rang a number not recognised, I answered and a voice said Hi Stephen, it’s Johnny Marr! And asked me if I could help and advise him on various microphones and if I could get them at good prices! I could and I went round to Johnny’s house that evening. He was my guitar idol as I’ve played guitar for nearly 40yrs, for him to ring me asking for advice was very surreal. Anyway I went round to his large house and went into his home recording studio joined to the house in a massive conservatory. We ended up jamming guitar together, amazing!! I bought a guitar amp from him and we started a very nice friendship, he is one of the nicest down to earth unaffected successful musicians you could ever meet and has been the biggest and best creative musical/ guitar influences in my life and the music I write and perform with my guitar band. Anyway sorry for the long waffling message!!! Great hearing your thoughts anyway. All the best Stephen.

This was my first time attending a Morrissey show, and it was an incredible experience. I loved the banter and the setlist. I'd definitely go again-hopefully to a show where he performs more from Years of Refusal :)

I absolutely love the film that is played before the show instead of an opening act. Good exposure to music you may have, but may not have known about. Morrissey's tastes?

The Indy show was the first time I was able to see Morrissey. I ended up really enjoying the videos instead of an opening act. And…the venue was magnificent. I’d love to see him again.

Made the Knoxville show. Three hour drive, totally worth it. Morrissey was in fine form, really enjoyed hearing Life Is A Pigsty and Sure Enough The Telephone Rings live.

Ironic that Boz can get an album released and that Morrissey reportedly has 2 albums sitting unreleased…

Neither Boz nor Morrissey have commented on their situation. It’s believed that Morrissey requires non-disclosure contracts. It would be nice to know if Boz is just done with the whole touring thing or what….

He used to open some of the best shows with "Fatty"- look back to Beethoven, around that time. Alma Matters, put it to bed -- put u to fckg bed mate. Your opinion is shite , mine is obviously impeccable! Make sure you have great taste n style before droning on boring everyone with your poor judgement. I came across this video by mistake btw , that goes without saying!! Now go away.

Love your shrine in the background!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Going to Niagara Falls Nov 19 - Excellent!!! Great chat and rundown of venues and citys. Never seen him perform . Can't wait Dude Enjoy your time at your scheduled shows. T shirt ordered from Mporium. Postal strike here in Canada /Ontario so won't be getting it too soon Cheers!

I was a teenager in the mid 80's when smiths/mozza came through, and coming from England i really "got" it y'know? So quirky and english.....love them forever......

Loved this detailed review. Show was utterly thrilling. I hugged him during Please Please Please. Dont hate me.

Great series! Keep them going. Still very much disagree about "Ringleaders", and Pigsty is a masterpiece.

It’s tough to rank them but if I had to pick the four most powerful in no particular order it would be…Joshua Tree, War, POP, Achtung Baby. What is the most ambitious, stuffed with great lyrics, guitar and melodies? POP beats all of their other records. It is just a massive album with a vast sound scape stuffed with great melodies, guitar hooks etc etc.

I really like Low In High School. I Bury The Living, Home Is A Question Mark, My Love I’d Do Anything For You, etc. Definitely an underrated album from him.

The Hobbit. I want it.

My dog when to heaven.

Check out “Grand Mal” by Empty Gate (2021) if you’re curious what the singer of Vomit Launch has been up to that would hopefully appeal to you…sadly it’s only available physically on CDr (and the streaming formatz) There’s a new one that’ll be coming out very soon, too…

Why did I thought it's gonna be FULL ALBUM?

Enjoyed your content thank you for looking back at this great album

Great album but like you like Boy better. Non album single 'A Celebration', released between October and War really good. Watch the video on KZbin

I am going to Rochester, NY and Niagara Falls.

Ammunition. Yes!

I’ll be seeing him in Knoxville.

Nicee!!

Love Cracker. I don’t think they’ve ever made a bad record. My favorite is probably Gentleman’s Blues from 1998.

So where can I get this CD?

Hi Jim- awesome episode! I love SF also-going there next weekend for our anniversary. Love you bro

Here are my 25 studioalbum best to worst. 1 Low 2 Scary Monsters 3 Station To Station 4 Heroes 5 Lodger 6 Blackstar 7 Diamond Dogs 8 Ziggy Stardust 9 Honky Dory 10 Aladdin Sane 11 The Next Day 12 Heathen 13 Young Americans 14 The Man Who Sold The World 15 Reality 16 Pinups 17 Hours 18 Outside 19 Space Oddity 20 Black Tie White Noise 21 Lets Dance 22 Tonight 23 Never Let Me Down 24 David Bowie 25 Earthling

We who are born in the 70's are the last generation of Elvis fans. My favorite is From Elvis Presley Boulevard from 1976. But there are so many good albums from the 70's.

Thanks Jimmy from France.

Love hearing you talk about your relationship with your dad.

Morrissey, Black Flag, throat tattoos and toys? We must be long lost brothers. I had that same Morrissey poster on my wall when i was growing up, and My War was my first Vinyl purchase.

Solitaire is absolutely one of my favourite Elvis songs! I really love the version off the “Memories of Elvis” album. It’s more intimate and breathtaking.

Johnny marr is right!!! Nashville is incredible. Been there twice.

Thanks as always.

Agree with you completely.

I love your videos, jamie archaic. Keep em coming.

Yes, more of scratch and yourself. I'm biased.

As a punk fan what do think of the SLeaford Mods?

Awww. We made mention!!! And, YES, I love Sierra Ferrell, especially The Sea, The Sea, The Sea, ta da da da ta da ta da... The Waves, The Waves, The Waves. Can't you just feel it? Oooooooooo, in Sierra's style and fashion.

I disagree with your ranking of Southpaw Grammar. Sure, it's not his best album, but it's far from his worst.

Love that intro... Morrissey has done nothing wrong; The vast majority of his opinions are correct (& where he and I disagree they're nothing I'd try to "cancel" him over, eg. his vegetarianism - I love eating meat, sorry Moz).

Vauxhall and I morrisseys best album for me not a bad song on it .. the smiths queens is dead or hatfull of hollows .

Poor Boz. What a mauling. I can't add anything because I can't find this album anywhere. Are you sure you wasn't just having a vivid nightmare? Boz is a nice bloke and I'm sure he ,Alain,Gustavo may pop up with Moz in the future.P.S I don't care for a Smiths reunion. They're not the Smiths anymore and where's the joy in watching two guys who hate each other pretending to get along. How could you listen to Barbarism without Andy. No thanks. Moz doesn't need Marr unless it's to pull out the knives he's been popping in there for years. Just my opinion though.

Wtf?! I had a listen on Bandcamp… even the songs you said were ‘half decent’ suck balls! I absolutely hate this entire ‘album’ and tbh I hope Moz never works with him again. I wonder what the big man thinks of this sack of 💩. Truly, I have lost ALL respect for Boz. And I really loved his contributions in the past… he wrote Now My Heart is Full, Speedway, Spring-heeled Jim… ffs!!! Wish I never even knew about this garbage. It’s a disgrace!!!!

Thank for your review. I went on Spotify to check the album out and it is very telling that the album is not on there. Sounds like Boz had low expectations for the album.

A Morrissey official release of more Live shows would be great! Live at Dallas from my favourite tour - Kill Uncle, would be amazing. Most bootlegs are becoming repetitive and are just tiring out gigs like Wolverhampton and overlooking the great later shows. Especially with how difficult and expensive the old bootlegs are becoming to source considering how most are CDs.
