[TheeRoddy]

Great setlist! Best setlist in a probably 20 years. He looks good, it looks like he lost some weight. Maybe The Simpsons episode got to him.

 

[Anonymous]

None of the blockbuster Smiths songs? Where is There Is a Light? Or How Soon Is Now? A festival crowd will want to hear those songs.

 

[Rajneesh the all knowing]

Ayyy Papi you bass esta grande bulto and beautiful. You know I like my bass to the face. Steer the ship now my son. Perfecto my papi/amigos. Gracias. Mas papi dont stop... Go baby go. Ola Dee Dee

 

[Mozzer1980]

Good and varied setlist. If I don't like the word "catchy" I have to repeat it with most of us here, Veronica is absolutely catchy. Viva Morrissey .

 

[Looper]

I am Veronica is the definition of catchy

 

[gordyboy9]

damn so 16 songs?! seems kinda short, no?

18.

 

[Mayfly]

Definitely the best setlist in years.
And thanks God, the covers are gone, no Paris, no World Peace.
This should be fine for that cruel world festival.

 

[gordyboy9]

lots of energy from M for a guy in his sixties,think the setlist could be down to alain,think both of them have had a chat about so many great songs that never get played live,dont be surprised to see our frank get an airing as its alains favourite song.
before we pass judgement on i am V lets wait for the complete version,sounded good though especially the top of the bill part.

 

[j*e*t]

I'm a happy bunny with that show. Morrissey is even more adorable than ever!

 

[This Charming Bowie]

Crossing my fingers for a single release this week. It would make sense, considering Cruel World's happening next week, and the fact that Moz gave some kind of indication that it would actually come out "soon" is pretty promising. Friday, perhaps? And this will presumably announce which label he's been signed to, considering that there seems to have been some proper planning this time.

 

[Mayfly]

Veronica has the familiar sound from his earlier days, which makes me happy.

 

[stux]

I'm as fed as anyone waiting for news about a deal, I really do think Morrissey should update us on whatever is happening.

Maybe I'm just being too cautious but back in the day when First of the gang, Irish blood and Mexico were being used in the live set he announced Mexico as one of the songs they were soon to release as a single, I think he said it at the Royal Albert Hall. There was nothing behind that statement so I'd be cautious that there is anything in place for Veronica.

[Js138]

VIVA f***IN’ MORRISSEY!!

 

[marred]

No Paris ...... yet
I would love to hear ....
I like you ...

I like you now I know you like I like you.

 

[Member Tibby]

It looks like it was an excellent show. Morrissey looked really good too .

 

[Art-Hound]

If he came back to England and played this set list, I'd return to the fold.

 

[Mike Rourke]

Wow, a brilliant setlist. Maybe the best ever from my perspective.
I normally expect between 5 and 10 of his best songs and in that setlist there's about 15. Nice choice of Smiths songs and glad we got loads more late 80s and 90's stuff than 2000-2010.
Veronica - chorus nothing special but there are some lovely singing melodies and guitar lines in the verse. Haven't listened much to the words but potential for it to be a top-tier solo song, musically at least. Judging by the YouTube footage of the final few bars, Alain Whyte seems to be its biggest fan!
