Date: Sat, 28 Sep 91 12:38:05 PDT First of all, "get down on one knee, etc." is from "King Leer" which is a great song, so if you happen to get a copy of that tv show, let me know :) Also, I found someone who had taped Tin Machine off of tv and he does a song or so, as someone already said I believe. AND a friend of mine lent me a copy of a Japanese Video his girlfriend bought in Japan. It's extremely high quality, and it contains 3 Morrissey videos (lasting a total of 10mins. exactly)The first being "Sing Your Life" and the second being "Our Frank" (I have never seen this video, or even knew it existed. It contains scenes with skinheads running rampant in the streets and causing their normal "disturbances"in public. And the rest of the footage is Morrissey in his red shirt from the cover of "Bona Drag." The video reminded me of the "Girlfriend in a Coma" video. It has some of the same angles of Morrissey singing.) The third video is "Sister I'm a Poet" from Hulmerist. I also happened to get the domestic releases of "My Love Life" and Live at KROQ. KROQ is excellent quality (as someone else also mentioned) since it was originally recorded onto a 2 track digital tape. (No hiss mom!) I also think it's the loudest recording (and best) of anything by Morrissey that I have ever heard. I have one question though, since a lot of people are mentioning "There's a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends" recorded live on the B-side of "My Love Life", is it possible that that track is available on the import version of "My Love Life"? I haven't seen one yet, but I'm wondering. As for American dates, I know of one. Morrissey is coming to Shoreline Ampitheatre (in Mountain View) on Oct. 31st, and tickets go on sale tomorrow. The funny thing is that Electronic is playing at the Warfield in San Francisco on the same night as the Morrissey show! Everyone I know is trying to get rid of their Electronic tickets now and go to Morrissey. It's all very amusing, and I wonder what the Electronic show will turn out to be like. I'd love to know any other dates for Morrissey coming to the Bay Area. <-----> Date: Sun Sep 29 18:37:55 1991 From: "Luis Chavez C." Subject: Smiths Bootlegs. Hi StrangeWays people: what do you think (do you know) about the following Smiths bootlegs? : -Handsome Devils (Europe 1983+1984) -Manconian Massacre (Manchester 1985) -Never Had No One Ever (Belgie 1986) I've just seen (not heard) the 1st one and it's supposed to be an ADD recording. -Luis Chavez. <-----> Subject: Strangeways Date: Thu, 3 Oct 91 13:16:23 PDT From: Bernard Baker As far as Morrissey concert dates, he will be performing in Mountain View at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on Oct. 31st at 8:00PM. This is for people in Northern California who are interested. I have bought my tickets, and can only hope that he plays for more than 55 minutes, which is how long he played for a few months ago in Berkeley. Oh, well. bernie bernie@sc.hp.com <-----> From: Rosenbla Subject: For submission to Strangeways: Morrissey Tour Date: Mon, 7 Oct 91 19:16:56 CDT I just found out that he is coming to Minneapolis (Northrop Auditorium) on November 7th. I am very excited, of course, since I haven't seen him yet. As soon as I find out if I can get my tickets at the box office, I am definitely camping out. Otherwise, I'll have to call TicketMaster and risk getting good seats. By the way, just how many Morrissey fans are there in Minneapolis? If you're out there, let me know if they are selling the tickets at the box office, or if you can only get them by phone. By the way, tickets go on sale this Friday. I have waited for this for 5 years!!

Hi, Morrissey will be playing the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, MA on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Tix for the show go on sale *TOMORROW*, Oct. 11, Friday, at 10 AM at Ticketmaster locations (don't know where else - probly the Centrum box office?) I hope this can be sent out fast enough for people to get there early enough for good seats. Good luck, Charlotte <-----> From: kkawado@bonnie.ics.uci.edu Subject: Morrissey Tour Well, Morrissey's planning to come out again to LA, this time playing at UCLA's Paully Pavillion (sp? Never been there so I have no idea how it's spelled). Anyway, tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes on Saturday. I guess it's time to call the ticket brokers :-). =K=
