There is a review of the Boston/Providence shows at www.section3.com
In the frame on the left there is a link to live shows and from there there is a link to
the review.
There are more pictures from Providence and I will provide a link to them as soon as I
talk to the publisher of Section 3 and either put them up at my own site or have him put
them back up at his site.

From Antti M
Simola:
This morning’s
Helsingin Sanomat had following news: Moz will play in Helsinki 5.12 in Jäähalli
(icehall) and tickets will be sold in Lippupalvelu, starting Thursday 30.10. There are
about 3000 tickets on sale (I don’t know why; in some ice-hockey games there have
been about 8000 spectators).

...was the encore song in Claremont.
Oct 26 97 - Sunday
Review of San Francisco, 2nd show
Thanks to splene for
this:
There’s another review from the SF show
by Johnny Ray Huston in his "OutLoud" column in the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
It’s rather good - he’s got much more insight into the Morrissey phenomenon than
other reviewers I’ve read.
The Smiths in the NFL
More Moz/Smiths in the mainstream media in the strangest places
-- I was just watching the Broncos-Bills game on NBC and they did a profile on two
defensive players, Bruce Smith and Neil Smith, with a caption of "The Smiths". I
thought it was just a coincidence, but then "How Soon Is Now?" began playing in
the background.
* The tour has returned to Southern California so I may be kept busy for a while.
Hopefully within a couple of weeks I will have some time to compile all the info on the
past dates everyone has sent. I haven't received any info on the Albuquerque show yet, so
please send it if you've got it.
* added some new links: "A Place in
HELL", Moz.net, "Passions Just
Like Mine" and "A Chance To Shine"
fanzine to the links section. Check them out.
Oct 24 97 - Friday
"Banned For The Band"
Thanks to Donald H Hartley for this from the
London Evening Standard (10-23):
‘Banned For The Band’
Morrissey, former lead singer of The Smiths, is currently inflicting his depressing
droning on the North Americans. The militant vegetarian, miserable as ever, has told his
support band that if they eat meat in his presence, he will gobble them up.
The support band realise that being deprived of a healthy amount of animal flesh has had a
long-term effect on the singer, and are warily taking him at his word, hiding their bacon
sandwiches when the gloomy Mancunian hovers into view.
'He just doesn’t like people with meat to come anywhere near him' explains Mr
Morrissey’s spokesman. |
Phoenix info
Thanks to Jim Duke, Matt Smiley and Jase
for providing great summaries of the Phoenix concert, pretty

unconfirmed rumors that Morrissey will play Dublin on 12th December 1997 and wait for it 2
nights at Chester, England on 15 & 16 December. Also "Satan Rejected My
Soul" is to be released as a single to coincide with the UK dates.
Lowell (11/22) - more info
From Jimmy McDonald:
I called around and got
some additional info for people planning to buy tickets for this show.
1) The show is reserved seating.
2) The venue holds 2800 people
3) Ticketmaster starts selling tix at 10am while the venue doesn’t open its box
office until noon, so hop on the phone instead of making the trek to Lowell.
Raleigh tix again (or
"ticketmaster is nothin but a bunch of dirty liars...")
From Catie:
I called ticketmaster
again, and they reconfirmed that tickets go on sale today (friday), but when i showed up
at the outlet at 10:00am, and went in to purchase my tickets, the girl said they
didn’t go on sale until tomorrow... so, i’m just writing to clear up
mis-information. tickets do go on sale SATURDAY, OCT. 25th, 1997. (just beware, if you are
going to an outlet to purchase your tickets, PRINCE tickets go on sale tomorrow, so things
COULD get kinda ugly. )

I’ve called the
place at which Morrissey is playing at and they said the tickets were going on sale this
Monday. Oh yeah it's at the State Theater in New Brunswick NJ.

the radio this morning that Morrissey is supposed to come back to the Tri-State
area—specifically, New Jersey on November 21, somewhere in New Brunswick. They were
announcing a concert to give away tickets so that is all I heard about it."
Glen Burnie -- a strange venue choice...
From Jane:
"Michael’s 8th Avenue in Glen Burnie is an interesting place to hold a show! It
is the local wedding reception hall and isn’t the most glamourous of locations (but
depending on what room it’s in - it may feature a lovely circular staircase) - anyone
who is going and needs directions should email me..."
Raleigh tix - a warning
From catie:
This is a warning for all
people looking to buy tickets for the RALEIGH Morrissey show... all of the printed
information about the tickets for THE RITZ in RALEIGH says that the tickets go on sale on
saturday, oct. 25th, but i called, and the tickets DO go on sale on friday, the 24th!
please don’t be fooled by all of the adverts!!

St. Louis
From Wade: "Morrissey will be 'flopping down' on
St. Louis, Missouri, on November 6, 1997. The show will be at the American Theatre
downtown. I’m guessing that it holds 1,700... The announcement or the lack
of an announcement was just made yesterday, October 16. I called Famous Barr at 7:50 p.m.
Friday night and they just found out that they are selling tickets for the show October
18, 1997." (Which is today, Saturday).
Maladjusted reviewed in Alternative Press
Someone may have e-mailed this info earlier but it seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
Just got this from Robert:
Just thought you might
wanna know that Alternative Press features a glowing review of Maladjusted in
their new issue (Oasis is on the cover). It gets a 5 finger out of 5 rating
("essential") and the review itself is very right on. Finally someone in the
press gets it right. Plus a nice photo of Moz.
Elcka - return to support in the UK
From Rachel Mckeon:
"From the
recently-added page about Elcka’s debut album (on the Island website):
Elcka will be on tour in the UK as support to Morrissey - dates to be announced.
And from the news section:
Morrisey [sic!] is currently touring in the US and should be reaching these shores in
the New Year.
So hopefully we should have a full tour to look forward to, on top of the
Battersea show."
Oct 15 97 - Wednesday
New Support Band For The 2nd Leg
From Jason: "The Smoking Popes
will replace Elcka as support to Morrissey on the rest of the tour..." Elcka has

announced on the radio that Mozzer is definitely going to be playing ATLANTA ON
NOVEMBER 15 AT THE FOX. Thank you Moz. Tickets go on sale this Saturday."
