Morrissey

[Charley333]

So its decided then.

Steven Patrick Morrissey is to be now known, until after the festival anyway, as "Steve".

E.G. "Whos on before U2?"

"Steve".

Much like the way Neil Young and Bob Dylan nerds refer to them as "Neil" and "Bobby".

This! Shall I set up a new thread - Steve (who's excited?)

[lucyginger]

Morrissey is the only must-see act for me this year. Everything else pales into insignificance.

This.

Loving the "Steve" thing, by the way!

Really looking forward to seeing Steve. There’ll be a huge crowd for him.

[Mardy]

I'm hoping those of you going to see him start up the equivalent of Springsteen's crowd bellowing 'Brooooooooooce'

'Steeeeeeeeeeeve' 'Steeeeeeeeeeve' 'Steeeeeeeeeve'

I think Steve will be awesome... Hope I can get near the front for Steve taking his shirt off...

Brilliant.

[Wanderlei]

Steve's going to be amazing.

Can't wait to see Steve's set list on Wednesday...

**IMPORTANT REMINDER**

The Queen is Dead by The Smiths is 25 years old this week.

U2 are marking 20 years since Achtung Baby with tracks fro the album/that period. Lets hope to God Steve does the same!!

"So I broke into the palace,

With a sponge and a rusty spanner"

This clip is f**king spine tingling.

Yeah! Thanks for the reminder.

It'd be amazing if Moz gets Marr on stage with him to do a few Queen is Dead tracks!!!

Steve looks good in them...

[The Nal]

Oh ........ Just had a daydream of Steve opening the gig with The Queen is Dead, sun setting behind the Pyramid, that Friday night energy, hundred thousand people in the field all up for it....

Imagine the cheer if the first thing that we hear are those drums.....

I may shit my pants.

[Wanderlei]

lol.

It would make sense with all the royal activity lately.

That just sent a shiver down my spine!!!! Lights coming up from darkness on the stage, "STEVE" in neon behind him as it plays... Awesome! The crowd going wild "Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!!!!!"

That slightly dusky haze just sitting over the festival as it does every evening, a distant crackle of fireworks from fields afar, a sweet smell of weed entering your nostrils every few seconds, lights becoming prominent and shimmering throughout the site, the quarter moon dazzling in the early night sky and Steve punching the air as his drummer bangs out the start of The Queen is Dead and one hundred thousand people bellow out an ungodly roar of anarchistic approval......

I am so f**king ripped for this Glasto it should be made illegal.

His performance was poor, he seemed out of it and clearly high stumbling on his words. As Glasto crowds do they reacted and many moved off. Morrisey got agitated and started calling the crowd ' A load of f****** Hippies' etc, the crowd jeered and eventually 2 security guys went on and took him off. We were standing jus to the west side of the camera tower.

I think you'll find he said, God Bless You Goodbye, at the end of his set. No swearing

Knew it didn't sound like Steve...

[The Nal]

Beautiful stuff!

Edit - Mardy - ALWAYS lurking in the Morrissey thread. Closet Steve nerd!

Whoever said this was definitely thinking of Bobby Gillespie.

[Charley333]

Beautiful stuff!

I've been watching this over and over in the last few weeks! If the atmosphere is anything close to this, it will be EPIC... Can't wait!!!!!

Love how he's surprised they know the words!!!

[Guest blackcockerel]

How the hell can someone mix Primal Scream in 2005 up with Steve in 2004?

[lucyginger]

Reading this is making me even more excited! Steve is definitely the highlight of the year for me, let alone the festival!

[Charley333]

I love this song... and Steve's performance here is just...

(totally confused the bf last night when said I was happy we'll see all of Steve's set next Friday )

Love in the comments someone asking if they should have it as their first dance at their wedding... *facepalm* Clearly not listening to the lyrics...

:D Can't wait!!!!! Steve is going to be epic! He's the only one I've been on about for months...

It was a massive and great surprise when he was announced. Seen him about 8 times before each time brilliant but never at my favourite place on earth - can't bloody wait either!
