Brilliant! I'm mostly a metalhead, but a closet Morrissey/Smiths fan. Morrissey live at the Alabama Theater in Birmingham in 2006 is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
see when his rockabilly band play rockabilly songs they actually sound deadly exciting instead of slightly lumpy. it's a bit of a revelation seeing them tear it up like that.
This will always be a special moment in Morrissey's solo career. I love the span between viva hate and kill uncle. Those are still my favorite Morrissey albums
I remember seeing this when it happened. Well, it was broadcast maybe three hours after it actually happened. I lived in the midwest, and had heard insinuations that rockabilly bands had some merit. This solidified the idea. The tangent was from Morrissey to the more immediately accessible Reverend Horton Heat. There's probably a place reserved in hell for me.
@Mozzerella100 Hes a hard hitter so the fiberglass suppresses his sound so its not over powering everyone else...Usually if theres alot of echo in certain venues or buildings that is done
Johnny Marr never played with Morrissey-solo he had moved well on past by the time Morrissey was playing this particular show. Marr was already trying something new with Electronic by this time most likely.
Morrissey's band never got sufficient credit. This rockabilly live version blends old rock 'n roll and the progressive sound beautifully. Few in the younger generation can play like Boz and Alain.
Vintage Johnny, too.
Morrissey es el cantante para todos los cuates. Puedo ver por qué los paisanos les gusta.
@ARIZJOE Yeah, I agree. with you... but he screwed up when he sang "we hate it when our friends become successful" (Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ah). That was soooo stupid. Embarrasing for him. Other than that, I do like some of his older songs.
I completely disagree. Fans go on and on about "The Lads". Boz, Alain, Gary, and Spencer are fantastic. Fans gush over them to the point that they favor them over his current squad.
The problem is that fans can't see past this period and are stuck in an arrested development of sorts. They favor the rockabilly look/sound and fail to see the quality of recordings he's made since (ie: Action Is My Middle Name).
@tf2cpu the Cos actually came to warm up the crowd before hand, which was really loud. Cheering for Morrissey, who, being the musical act, would have been on later in the show, but instead they put him on near the beginning, to cut down on the noise from all us fans. But first, Cosby, warming up the crowd, said something like, "I was just talking to Morrissey backstage, and he said that everyone should not make to much noise." Well, they tried. It was fun.
