I believe end of tour runs have been discounted previously on the last night - Less to haul back to LA.
In this case 'the venue exclusives' have been on Mporium too (and even before the concert - great idea ).
They may refresh either/both Mporiums with a small discount... Maybe (maybe not!).
FWD.

Sure they will, every so often they do have discounts on Mporium.

Do you have a picture to prove this, by chance.... references to half off. We know the venue is gorgeous and show was amazing, pic and video prove that. But have not seen proof on half off.....please

Proof? I bought 2 tour shirts and a poster for $50. No I didn't get a photo. But I have the merch.

Appreciate it.

And finally we can lay one of his worst setlists to rest...may we never hear it again.

People at the shows seemed to enjoy it. If this was intended to be a tour coordinated with BoT's release as suggested here, it makes sense that it would feature more BoT songs (for better or worse). I get it, but it's only in the age of the modern Internet, smartphones, and Social Media that we have these complaints about setlists not changing, etc. Were people complaining about it on the Kill Uncle and Your Arsenal tours? No, because we weren't able to follow along in near real-time, and see a full setlist that same night for shows we didn't attend.

Do I think there are stronger songs he could be playing in certain parts of the setlist (e.g., if we're getting one song from YA... I don't want Fatty)? Sure. I will say at least this setlist is fairly representative of most periods of his solo career (nothing from Southpaw or WPINOYB), and even included three Smiths songs.

It's just frustrating to see a legend like Moz play a setlist of his most mediocre songs, especially with his voice sounding as good as it is.

The problem is, every single person would request a different playlist. So is there a perfect playlist out there? To the individual, sure, as a consensus, I don't think it could happen.

I'm not sure everyone would request a completely different playlist. I get that the new songs aren't everyone's favorites (although I really like Rebels Without Applause), but those were the only ones he did that I hadn't seen him perform live before. So it's nice to hear those. I wish he'd branch out a little with the Smiths songs he does. At this point I've heard him sing HSIN at basically every show for the past decade or longer.

I'd have liked some earlier solo work represented, or even something from Years of Refusal (which I still think is underrated) but it's been close to 30 years since he put out his much-beloved early work. I get that he's more excited about the new albums his fans are the least excited to hear.

Right again FWD, going on now

Do a survey with 3 people and test your theory and see, it would not be exact.

Yes, setlists are ridiculously subjective but this is a broad mixture from most solo eras. I hope for at least 5 of what I would call brilliant songs at his concerts, and for me there was 12.
Only real gripe is that we seem to get pretty much the same old Smiths songs. There is such a treasure trove of near perfect Smiths songs to choose from, so it's a shame to stick to what feels like a narrow selection.

 

[Seymour Glass]

Playing the exact same songs in near identical order for 19 straight concerts when you have the back catalog of the Smiths/Morrissey is just plain laziness.

Yeah, good point on Smiths songs... I saw him in 2018 and he opened with "William..." which was special. He must have been feeling nostalgic as we also got "Dial-a-Cliche" and "Break Up The Family." There are many more gems he could dust off that would be crowd favorites.

Stinky Toys: "Birthday Party".
FWD.

Thanks, I really appreciate that info.

Was an early French punk band called Stinky Toys. The song was Birthday Party.

Thank You
