Morrissey in Durham

Matt McNees and I saw Morrissey last night. His voice was in great shape (he's nursing a cold in the clip below) and his band is really tight. He played four Smiths songs (This Charming Man, How Soon Is Now, Ask, I Keep Mine Hidden) and he was hilarious. He recited the chorus to I Keep Mine Hidden: "I Keep Mine Hidden, But it's so easy for you, you display yours for public view," paused, looked at us, and said, "Shakespeare." He then started laughing and went into the next song. I guess you had to be there, but the show was just amazing. We were about 12th row and were surrounded by women and men swooning, overcome. I think I may have swooned myself.
