Morrissey - Birmingham 2009 - This Charming Man

[aliensintheloft]

Great stuff! You've really captured a lot here and a nice camera angle.

[rusholeruffian]

yeah i was in the grand tier

row D

a lot of distance from the main, and obviously there was no chance of standing up

great view though

[QLFILMS]

"I would go out tonight...but I havent got a stitch to wearrrrr" so amazing, I love Morrissey. :) Hope he feels better soon

[drikaeand]

o brasil ama o morrisey !!!!!!!!!!!

[xXxUnforgiven]

concordo...!!!

estamos esperando por ele aqui...!!!

*ele passou mal neste show após ter cantado essa música... uma pena...!!!

[johnnysjukebox]

Excellent Quality Video & Sound, sadly I was at Swindon so this is my only memory of that night, apart from the so-called "fans" who booed & threw beer (yes we were right at the front as well!) GET WELL SOON MORRISSEY xxx

[andikibble]

Couldn't agree more mate. Why on gods earth would you boo someone who collapses? Morons. Just hope he reschedules.

[julianvalensi]

was so happy when he did this,

prefer a venue where you can stand though, cant really put your arms round each other and really get into it when theres seats everywhere

[chelseasteve]

I totally agree. Up on level 5 it was very tame. Everyone sitting down & watching. The only bonus was that it was an easy environment to get a decent video of the show.

[almatters22]

You, lucky boy !! Thanks Steve !

[suparni]

he sounds great

[chelseasteve]

He did mention though that "the morphine is kicking in", so he's obviously suffering. Again!! All in all, a very good show but a little bit short at 80 minutes. Some great surprises in the setlist, incliding, Nowhere Fast, Cemetry Gates, Is It Really So Strange, Teenage Dad, ecause Of My Poor Education, and The Loop (which is fantastic!!)

[telecasterthommy]

He's been doing The Loop for ages

[chelseasteve]

After sounding great throughout, his voice gave up during "Pigsty", and he walked off. I don't know whether this was a planned break or not, but the reaction of his roadie chasing him off then coming back waving his hands frantically at the band suggest otherwise.

This was after 17 songs and 1 hour 15 mins.

The band finished Pigsty & went off. They then came back for an encore of First Of The Gang (see my video of that!), and Moz sounded good again.

[chelseasteve]

Cheers peeps! The Symphony Hall is a cacking venue. Great acoustics, as you'd expect. I thought Moz sounded great. Not as chatty as he can be, but we found out why later.

continued above due to 500 character limit :oD ...

[mozthecat]

Sounds pretty good to me, Thankyou.

Looks like you had a good view! what did you think of the concert overall?

[moz0207]

well done, Steve.
