  Excerpt:
  
  English singer Morrissey brought his crisp baritone and familiar, turmoil- filled lyrics to Amphi Shuni in the northern town of Binyamina Sunday night, and while all 1,350 seats of the restored Roman amphitheater were full to bursting with dedicated fans, Morrissey himself seemed a little, well, listless.
• Notre-Dame lyrics posted by This Charming Bowie.

[Intheknow]

Started good

And then rapidly down hill

 

[MrMajeika]

Stop me oh oh oh stop me, stop me if you think that you've heard this setlist last tour

 

[Intheknow]

you don't say

I like stating the obvious

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

If no-one can be bothered to post anything, because he cant be bothered to sing anything new, then I might just go to bed.
The cack-handed, repetitive nonsense that is “Alma Matters” is next. Shite.

The loop

 

[Anonymous]

Our Frank played!

Pleasantly surprised to see this song survived Alain's exit, as it was clearly his suggestion that resulted in getting it back on the setlist.

 

[Intheknow]

Sweet and tender for the encore?

 

[Light Housework]

I want to know what he says between songs.

 

[JM🇬🇧]

Seems like the same old setlist then. Although never heard my hurling days are done live before and that’s great.

That being said, I’m trying to get my gf into Moz, she’s coming to Portsmouth and these seem to be all the songs that she knows
Don’t want to to stray to far and end up with Michael’s bones and tony the pony.

 

[William Fisher]

Israel…?

 

[Deadbydawn101]

DOUG is in the house

Doug is always in the house

 

[Marsadjusted]

Half a person

 

[Intheknow]

Half a person

Yawn

He played that on the last UK tour a few months ago - sounds great live.

 

[Intheknow]

What’s with the list of names written on a list on the first page. No surprise to see Lior on there!!

 

[dneuer]

you don't say

I’m not exactly the world’s biggest optimist, but to be fair, the band had to learn up dozens and dozens of songs prior to the last couple of tours starting in Vegas. Give the new players some time and maybe M will feel more comfortable playing different stuff assuming they will be required to do the same. I’m sure they’re more than capable, given time.

That said, I think most of us guessed it likely wasn’t going to be a greatest hits tour (at least to start) and it was only advertised in such a purposely vague way in order to sell tix. Moz is a creature of habit and it will likely take him time to be ok with the prospects. “Don’t lose faith…”

If Tony the pony was played I would probably explode from pure happiness

Very well said.

It would lift my wig.

Yep!
