Panic on the streets of Birmingham....

A week ago today I went to see Morrissey live at the NIA in Birmingham. The show he gave was truly fantastic. Including the part where he took his bright pink shirt off and threw it out to us. Trust me...for a man nearing 50 he is not bad!!! The Italian fresh air and Mediterranean cuisine seem to be having a positive effect on him! He sang quite an unusual selection of songs, including some Smiths ones like Panic, Girlfriend in a Coma and How Soon is Now?...but he also sang newer ones...his own, like Irish Blood English Heart and Let Me Kiss You. It was great. Not many people were there, which was a shame, but from a selfish point of view that meant that we could see him better. It was the first time I saw him in a live concert...but Sam has seen him loads and she said that this was by far his best gig ever. I'm glad we got standing tickets and not seats!!!! Good music, sarcy comments, and loads of head-bobbing!!
One hell of an experience. One hell of a show. One hell of a Morrissey.
