Morrissey; Tower Records in Philly

[Griff1319]

In 1991 his first solo concert in U.S I was in front row and was getting mad cause he was staying on other side of stage I yelled out called him by his full name he turned I waved and smiled he thought was funny he laid down right in front of me lmao

[WesleyDieson77]

Only wankers call him Stephen. Stupid.

[TheSgtPepper9]

that idiot whos says pantara is a better signing is a moron!

[UnderTheAffluence]

WHY DID YOU SAY STEVEN?! NOBODY CALLS HIM STEVEN!

[1959SPM]

Thank you for posting this, it's amazing - Moz looks so shy, sweet and sexy x

[Pirate7X]

This charming man (couldn't resist)

Props 'cause he's mad patient and cordial with fans. The way he handles this and folks rushing the stage is exemplary.

I miss Tower of South Street and this era. It's still cool there but when Tower Records was there it was really happening.

[ski442]

Do you think the last guy getting his shirt signed, Moz was writing "kick Me" so Sir

Morrissey gets the last laugh. lol...

[SurgeCess]

STEVEN! lol, don't call him that....thats not him anymore.

[dublinrupepupkin]

who was the blonde haired girl first one in the shop, think she used to be his manager?

[farine5]

so lucky you were, ! and Moz is really cute, and very patient with everybody ...

A gentelman

[radioheadthom]

4:30 shaking the babies hand!

so. fucking. CUTE!!

moz is perfection.

[HerbertSprocket82]

He's looking sharp in that Levi's jacket and button down shirt, must of been Jake's influence.

[ironbmike]

you called him steven...why?

[timewillprove]

3.30 when Morrissey turns to look up at the man, mmmm lovely.

[meetismurder]

music at 2:12 is a band called Echobelly.

[situationalism1]

EVERY time i walk past here i stop to picture him walking in. unfortunately it's now a walgreens or rite-aid or some shit

[Pirate7X]

@situationalism1 The location is cursed since they shut Tower down, serves them right.

[KtotheY77]

I love this video. That part with the lady is so dead serious she is just like "don't EVER call him that".

He drinks tea, listens to the ramones and signs things..that is love.

What music is in the background at 2:12?

[kendallbob]

"STEVEN!"

girl: "dont call him that"

[Cotdail]

Ms 2:45 needn't look so indifferent about it all;

Some of us would steal to have a copy of V&I on vinyl, nevermind one that's been signed by the man himself. !

[jpjames1]

I like that his albums sound great and so does the live stuff. Alot of albums are always lacking and u have to see em live to hear it played right

[jacobbielarski]

0:48 what a dickhead

[Adriansh3r0]

This is hilarious :-)

Reader meet author.

You don't know a thing about their lives.

They live where you wouldn't dare to drive.

Suits you, fine sir.

Gotta love his ambiguity.

[missayr]

cup of tea Morrissey? Yes please!

is that not the most adorable creature ever imaginable!!!!

[Harno3]

Very nice.

[cheyennesayshi]

HE IS THO HOTTTTTTTTTTT

[Pirate7X]

@jennifermanfra Actually does in looped Philly style!

[puffpuffyogi]

notice how he cocked his head when they called him "Steven" lol...

[markmustb1]

yes I was there -

when i'm 88 -i'll always recall this day

[TheSmithsLoverr]

Were they laughing at him drinking tea lol?

[ninelivecat]

Why all the Ramones songs in the background ?

[Alofacetoface]

Yeah...why ???

W.T.F ??!

[morrisseytillidie]

morrissey you poor poor man.

[hayoush]

morrissey=pure perfection

[MatthewPA1972]

Hey, I didn't know Mel was there. I was there that day -- with my bad Carrot Top hair.

Mel, what you been doing lately? You played my band's song on the local show in 1998 on WYSP.

[pizzmelizz]

i was there that day...stuck around back & never got to meet him....sigh. i am 31 now & would still love to meet him.....

[vilepete]

Poor morrissey: the things he has to do...

[lcoolo]

wow. that jake owen dude looks v bored and awkward. (guy in cream jacket next to morrissey the whole time)

[monosynthluv]

this is so fucking 90s. awesome

[dennyking]

Moz looks badass!

[Genkimark]

His hair looked really awesome...and so British, with a cup of tea, hahaha!

[normissey]

who is this morrissey guy.he looks pretty cool. still kinda weird though.

[vaportrails44]

Don't call him Steven! LOLOLOL...Oh to be a rock star.

[ninelivecat]

Oh to want to be a Rock Star more like, He courts the publicity

[lefkytheshin]

pantera suck!!! mozz rules. hahaha "dude, don't call 'em steven". thats great.

[veritas1005]

it is a shame they closed the tower and other awesome record shops in philly on south. still love south street though

[valerie2284]

Actually, Tower Records was waaayyyy over pricing their merchandise. If you want good deals on albums go to Repo Records which is still on South St. or to Noise Pollution which is off of South & 4th Streets.

[Cheryl1965]

His shyness is so damn sweet. I love Morrissey...

[guilani33]

thanks for sharing ! Nice home made video!

[neurox6900]

...And I Starded To Melt... Long Live Moz!! You're The Best!!

[Chefturtle07]

hmm i'd give about 5 grand for that guitar he signed. if only.

[bollockowithalob]

Great upload - thank you ever so much.

There is Jake, Da King's enigmatic companion circa 1993-1994, perhaps his (Da King's) only true love, with a suedehead, wearing a cream denim jacket.

[moz4pm]

Moz is an oasis of calm and tea-imbibing gentility in a sea of chaos. Love him, love him, love him! Thanks Mel.

[Plancton2006]

he looks so sweet and shy... lovely.

[aejhpp9]

whos the douche bag with the sweet mullet that keeps pointing at Morrissey?

[meltaylor]

that douche is me. ( mel ) .....and thanks for noticing my sweet mullet !!

[invertedbeardthe2nd]

You win an award for admitting to a mullet! lol, respect to you sir!

[TheSgtPepper9]

@meltaylor Thanks for posting this. Awesome!

[bargainmom]

Darling Moz spent hours upon hours for his fans it looks. Why were they blasting the Ramones? It looks like it gave him a headache! Moz is beautiful, I wish I were there to give him a kiss on the lips!

[MasterMakeupArtist]

holy shit,I ws at that signing!!!

you see me for a split second!

[mindy74]

Wow, such a sweetheart!!!

[Pirate7X]

Damn, I miss Tower Records soooooooooo much. I just passed this one last night & I loved the Atlanta & NYC Broadway stores.

Oh yeah, props to Moz for still being so intimate with his fans regardless of what his politics or attitudes are. Neither recluse or media whore, dude's an original in all senses of the word.

R.I.P. Tower, you were the first of the gang to die...

[amiressy]

who? which person are you talking about?

[tonycologne]

who the hell is this morrissey fellow anyway.

[fauxeli]

INTERESTING VID-THANKS

[frankyzappa]

I want morrissey to write on my t-shirt! :(

[chuckdee121]

All I can say is hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the blessed DJ, and let's share a cup of tea with Morrissey!!!

[Stillillgal]

cool... tnx :]
