Morrissey Middlesbrough Town Hall 8 July 2011
Great show from Morrissey last night. Middlesbrough Town Hall is a wonderful venue and just the right size and atmosphere for Morrissey. Laura was looking forward to this, having missed his Glasto set by going to see Radiohead on the Park stage. Good mix of solo and Smiths songs. The crowd was a little subdued, but Mozza seemed in relatively good spirits. At one point there seemed to be a problem with the sound and the whole band left the stage while it was sorted out. I found Meat is Murder particularly good; Morrissey has changed the lyrics to something like Eat Meat Murder. It took me back many years to seeing the Smiths on the Meat is Murder tour at the City Hall. It was a powerful song then, and still is now. Laura was pleased that There is a Light was the encore.
