I underderstand that you didn't feel well tonight but did you really have to end the show after only six songs? The last time I saw you was eleven years ago and you ended the show early then too. Is it me? Was it the shirt? Seriously though Steven, what's the deal? I'm so sad. Why you disappoint? Please let me know. I will be on the bed with my head on the pillow.
Yours Always,
Erica

I sat through a 'cut short after six or seven songs' show of El Moz once, this was the legendary Pauley Pavilion 1991 bizarreness. I admit I was impressed by the way he could continue to sing on key with a fan each on either arm, either leg, and one wrapped around his torso.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 02:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, it was so sad! He stuggled through about five songs and then blamed his cracking voice on Letterman's cold studio. Oh well, if he was sick, he was sick. But still . . . at least they said they'd honor the tickets.

Moz pulled a trick like this the (only?) time he toured Aus in the early 90s. said it was illness, left the country after only 1 show i think?
Hmmm, he did this in San Diego a few weeks ago too. I was not in attendance, but rumors attributed his early departure to overly intense security. I think he just likes making excuses.
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 03:31 (sixteen years ago) link
The last time I saw him do this it was in New York and it was because of overly intense security too. He was mad at the bouncers and stormed off stage because of it. Tonight I honesly think he was ill because his voice was so bad but it's just my luck. Oh well, hopefully he'll come back soon.

Yep, played Brisbane, left the country while his crew were setting up Sydney the next arvo. He came back though, played Livid 12 years later in the car park outside where he'd been s'posed to play in '91. Was 45 minutes late for an hour and a quarter set. YAY.

Oh, was Boston last night? He's been a trooper on this latest American tour circuit so far (no cancelled dates!) but there have been problems, as listed above. He's been touring for like two years straight--I think he really needs to take a break, but not before coming to Baltimore, please. Sorry, ENBB :(

Yeah, I was right miffed when he pulled out of Glastonbury '92 at the very last second (cue "Where's My Morrissey" t-shirts making their appearence around the site). In his place we got James singing "We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful".
The times I've been to see him subsequently he's showed and played the full ticket, so hey.

2 July 2007
Following the postponement due to illness of several shows last week, we are delighted to announce that Morrissey's U.S. tour will recommence tonight at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va. Morrissey was suffering with a viral infection that brought his show in Boston at the Bank Of America Pavilion to a halt after seven songs last Tuesday the 26th of June. . . . The Boston show has been successfully rescheduled for this Saturday the 7th of July, and all tickets from the original date will be honored.
Yay? I'll believe it when I'm happily leaving a fantastic show late Saturday night.

OTM. Worst thing I've heard in years was Morrisey's horrible live cover of the NY Dolls "Human Being". Morrisey casts himself as the outcast when he's naturally the bully, and it seemed like the band had no idea how the song goes.

Last time I saw anyone directly Moz-associated (other than Mr. Marr earlier this year, natch) was Alain Whyte's band in the mid-2000s -- nice performance and did a very good version of what was probably Morrissey's last great B-side, "The Edges Are No Longer Parallel."
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 December 2018 19:19 (five years ago) link
Boz got demoted from bandleader to session dude shortlyish after Jesse Tobias came on board aiui
just looked up the current band and the bassist was previously in the long-running '00s Breeders lineup

The band's got better, but Moz is worse (apart from being a fascist I mean - he's got better at that). His singing is strong but unbearably hammy nowadays. You see this list of songs and you can hear them coming out of that mouth already. Not appealing to me.

it's one of those things that drives me crazy when other people don't notice it. they're like, "no, his voice sounds fine" when it's obviously (to me) being manipulated in little ways that play with the grain of it. same w/ some of those late merle haggard records -- almost nobody else (that i can find) seems to recognize how much his voice was being treated.

The protesters had two signs, one which said: “Bigmouth Indeed” and the other which seemed to have some sort of ‘cancelled’ trident, both one would imagine meant for protesting against Moz’s recent spate of far-right rhetoric which has seen him divide his fans while supporting political party For Britain.
