Looking at how happy (by Morrissey standards) he looked on stage and the rapport he shares with his band, however, I can definitely understand if The Smiths never got back together. Of course, at one point in the show, my mind did drift off to thoughts of a Smiths reunion. No band has ever accepted my offer to write out their setlist, so why even contemplate that Morrissey would be the first? So instead of moping and waiting for my favorite songs to come around I just joined in the celebration. No real surprises, but still a fantastic twenty three songs and the crowd was raucous from start to end. But the rest of the setlist revealed itself as standard Morrissey fare. It was also the last show before the closing of the Hollywood Palladium for a much deserved makeover.Īfter an anxious build up, Morrissey started off the night with “How Soon Is Now?”–a promising sign that he would mix things up a bit, make the last night special and leave the fans with something memorable.

Tonight was the series finale and the last LA will probably see of the The Ringleader of the Tormentors tour. After all, this is the city where he revived his career in 2004 with the brilliant album You Are The Quarry. Sure he’s performing extended residencies in San Fran and NYC as well, but we got an incredible 10 consecutive nights–er, make that actually 8, but more on that later. Las Vegas may have Wayne Newton, but Los Angeles has Morrissey. Losanjealous Concert Picks: November 20 – 26.Secret Machines Union Station, 10/24/06.
