Morrissey Triumphs At The Royal Albert Hall

October 28, 2009
Morrissey Triumphs At The Royal Albert HallMorrissey triumphed at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night, just three days after he collapsed with breathing difficulties in Swindon.

Receiving a phenomenal reception as he walked on, Morrissey launched into set opener 'This Charming Man', the only song of the set at the Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre before he was taken ill.

After successfully getting through the track, Morrissey joked to the sell-out crowd: "Fasten your seatbelts, it is going to be a bumpy ride"

Energetic and looking a picture of health, the 50-year-old dipped into a set mixed with B-sides, solo favourites and Smiths classics.

Shortly after performing fourth track, Morrissey joked “Thank you Swindon!” and later said “the doctor said I shouldn't smile, and I told him I usually don't”.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Morrissey show without one grumble and this came shortly before 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores' when he stated that “not one celebrity chef is vegetarian.”

The set list was as follows:

  1. This Charming Man
  2. Black Cloud
  3. When I Last Spoke To Carol
  4. How Soon Is Now
  5. Ganglord
  6. Cemetery gates
  7. I'm Throwing My Hands Around Paris
  8. Teenage Dad On His Estate
  9. Nowhere Fast
  10. Irish Blood, English Heart
  11. Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself
  12. One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
  13. Death At One's Elbow
  14. The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores
  15. Is It Really So Strange?
  16. The Loop
  17. Because Of My Poor Education
  18. I'm OK By Myself
  19. First Of The Gang To Die
