Morrissey played Manchester's MEN Arena last night and from all accounts the show was fantastic. Moz appeared to be in great spirits and didn't disappoint with stage banter--he threw down a few digs:
On the Queen: "Congratulations for surviving the Diamond Jubilee? When will we be rid of that family?"
On the Olympics: "You'll notice I wasn't invited to the Olympics opening ceremony because my smile was judged to be too sincere."
On Manchester: "I was recently in Israel where I was given the key to Tel Aviv and it's worth pointing out that the governing bodies of Manchester council have offered me absolutely nothing...and I don't know why"
Judging from fan comments on Twitter, musically the fan favorite seemed to be his amazing emotional performance of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want." Take a look at fan shot footage and links to pictures from the show below:
