(Excellent Audience Recording)
22 October 2007 - Hammertesin Ballroom - New York, NY
If you didn't have a good time at this show, it was you're own damn fault. Moz and the lads gave it their all! Respectable turnout for a Monday night. Like many people, I changed into my Liza Minnelli outfit from work and hopped on the Blue line to get to the venue. The Hammerstein is old and hollow with hard cement floors, but you can tell that at one time, it must have been a beautiful place. Kristeen Young received some polite applause. Took awhile for the crowd to warm up to her. It's as almost as if they took some perverse pleasure in watching her frustration. I get a kick out of her outfits. She wore a paper doll dress with huge tabs sticking out of the sides. "On bended knee I kneel to you, New York…" The lads and The Man himself takes the stage and wastes no time. He was struttin' and posing and talking some trash! He took a wrapped gift from a little boy and got a big cheer from the Boz side of the stage. "I love presents…" Great setlist. Boz and Walker took turns front stage and gave us all a cheap thrill. Moz mentioned an oncoming cold, but otherwise sounded great. When Morrissey starts talking nonsense, you know he is feeling his cheerios. Other notable quips: "I know what I know… I know more than I even know…" "Why am I talking in a Liverpudlian accent when I'm from Yorkshire…" (At that point, a huge thought bubble descended from the crowd and floated up into the rafters). Highlights for me were "Crashing Bores" which surprisingly turned into a sing-a-long from the Boz side of the stage. The crowd sounded a little like the Harlem Boys Choir with one too many sips of the communion wine. Great to hear "The Loop" complete with standup bass. I started into my Mozmic Dancing and young men around me followed suit. Had a nice yelling contest with the young man next to me. He let me win. The show ended sometime around 10:40. I loitered around the stage hoping I could find someone who looked like he was collecting presents. I had a little something for The Man. No luck finding anyone. I wish all the folks with Maximum Morrissey passes a good time. What a treat to see him in New York. It's like having my two great loves together in the same room.
