[Earl Purple]

Morrissey opened his set last night with "Our Frank", which surprised me as I didn't think he was keen on the Kill Uncle album.

Strange setlist choice for me - 4 Smiths songs, Stop Me, Girlfriend In A Coma, Sweet and Tender Hooligan and Half A Person, so two from Strangeways and the other two from the Louder Than Bombs/The World Won't Listen compilation. I do know he likes the later Smiths music much more than the earlier ones.

He played Suedehead and Everyday Is Like Sunday but also included Jack The Ripper and The Loop (which I knew but thought were strange choices), 2 "new" ones, "Istanbul" from World Peace.., "Irish Blood English Heart" from You Are The Quarry, and also Alma Matters and Throwing My Arms Around Paris but nothing from Vauxhall & I or Your Arsenal.

I think he mixes up his sets a lot for his diehards who go to multiple gigs, that is pretty different from when I saw him but that was very heavy on "Ringleader of the Tormentors" and "You Are The Quarry" but that was 2009. The Smiths stuff was pretty obvious ones if i remenber like 'Ask' and 'This Charming Man'

[Earl Purple]

He played enough big ones, I guess, but for Smiths songs I would of course have preferred Panic. Not sure if his band are able do to the riff for How Soon Is Now? For solo music it was great he did "Everyday Is Like Sunday" as that massive, but I'd have liked "The More You Ignore Me" and "First Of The Gang To Die".

I'm slightly surprised "Our Frank" did so badly on here though - #7 in my chart but nobody else charted it high enough for it to break the top 40.

Not wild about his early 90s singles some weird choices, by the way did he play anything from the now very delayed new album, loved the single.

[Earl Purple]

In the early 90s he was changing songwriting partner a lot - of course it was Johnny Marr when he was with the Smiths, and then Stephen Street.

"November Spawned A Monster" was co-written with Clive Langer and other songs around that time (on the compilation "Bona Drag") had many others including even Andy Rourke (Yes I Am Blind). Kevin Armstrong was co-writer on Piccadilly Palare.

In 1991 he teamed up with Mark E Nevin from Fairground Attraction, who also co-wrote some songs on Kirsty MacColl's album. (So did Johnny Marr, who co-wrote Walking Down Madison). All his 1991 singles were co-written with him, then he moved to the longer term co-writer Alain Whyte, although "The More You Ignore Me" (and about half of Vauxhall & I) was co-written with Boz Boorer.

He played 2 songs from the forthcoming album. They didn't get a great reaction though, I guess new songs never do.
