One-Shot (04/05/09): Morrissey Gig Mini-Review

Morrissey. Tour of Refusal. Waterfront Hall, Belfast. 02/05/09.

Here come the bullet points.
  • The Waterfront Hall is smaller than I remember it.
  • This is the most diverse crowd I've ever been a part of.
  • Starting with "This Charming Man" is amongst the smartest moves ever.
  • Sparse between-song banter suggests a firm understanding of the "less chat, more hat" axiom.
  • More Smiths. "How Soon Is Now", "Ask", and "Girlfriend In A Coma" all go down well.
  • "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" is class.
  • The crowd isn't annoying. Note to self: go to see less kiddie/scenester friendly bands.
  • One-song encore: "First of the Gang to Die." Everybody wins.
