No stream as of yet. The medication fixed me right up but thanks for asking

[Requiescant]

My vocal highlight was Never Had No One Ever.

It was one of the stand outs in Glasgow last Sunday. It maybe heresy but he sings it better now than he did in 1986

 

[Requiescant]

Highlight was Bonfire!

Yeah, having seven days to reminisce last Sunday's Glasgow show, I now totally concur. I don't care if some people think it's clumsy or offensive, it's an absolute stormer

I completely agree.

The first time I heard it I felt a little underwhelmed & thought that the lyrics of the chorus were a bit clunky; is calling the mourning people of his home-town ‘morons’ really the best he could come up with?

However, with each listen it’s become a firm favourite. The only part of the lyric I’m really not fond of is “the sheeple people”. Morrissey is better than that; he could think of a more original & poetic way to make his point. I hope this is simply an ad-lib he’s added to live renditions of the song & not a part of the original studio recorded version.

Time will tell.

Apologies. After Veronica.

 

[CHMozheart]

I said the same. Why Morrissey why ?? We , I. Want the classic smiths and the solo too

I can’t understand why is so insane preparate 3 setlist with different songs and mixed up to give a little fan service, or a song for every place, to not repeat ALWAYS the same !!! even the last tours songs…is so disappointed. He is getting worst…I miss the old Morrissey

 

[Requiescant]

The only part of the lyric I’m really not fond of is “the sheeple people”.

Yeah, it's not his greatest lyrical moment, but maybe he's using it as a snapshot of the times.
I don't know about where you live Snoddy, but up here 'sheeple' was used as term of derision by anti-vaxxers against sane people.
However, there's also The Housemartins anti-Thatcher song 'Sheep' with it's refrain, "It's sheep we're up against".
Hopefully he means the latter, or better still, like you say the recorded version has a different lyric

I’m from Birmingham, U.K.

When I think about calling people sheep my mind jumps to Bill Hicks & some of his old stand-up routines…

But yes, the term ‘sheeple’ has been around for a while & is used everywhere - thrown around casually to the point of being a tedious cliche by now - & I just feel like I’ve heard it too much. I feel like using it in a lyric will date the song badly, & as I said, Morrissey is more than capable with coming up with something more original.

 

[Bonfire]

how many more times does doug need to hug morrissey? this is getting out of hand.

Alas. Never in my own opinion. He thinks by being over 40 and still getting hugs and shirts because he now has has preference over platinum ticket holders he can do as he wishes. I saw it in Vegas. He was let in with the fan who they have said was a rather large girl who rushed the stage (maladjusteddoll) before the people who paid top money to be there. So does it really happen? Someone pays their dues? Spend over 100k and then you’re in the circle? We’ll never know won’t we????

@snoddywilko
Anyway, since it’s a new ad lib, I doubt it’s on the studio version.
