Un Hommage Aux Meilleurs
Our Moz has once again returned to the stage for a fantastic concert at Salle Pleyel in Paris. Our Moz looked dashing as usual and has really become the unquestioned elder statesman of alternative/indie music. His hair seems to be a shimmering silver and his face still has all the angular symmetry of his younger years, while showing some of the strains of time. He still commands attention on stage like no other and his voice is possibly better than ever. A little deeper, more resonant and strong.
Our Moz opened the show with two solid favorites "Our Frank" and " Alma Matters". He finished with a rousing performance of "Irish Blood, English Heart". In between he offered a delicious fare from throughout his stellar career. He debuted two songs from his freshly recorded album "Without Music, The World Dies". They included the title track and "The Night Pop Dropped". Both songs sounded divine and will be happily welcomed into the Morrissey catalogue. Two of the highlights for me were the hidden gem "Istanbul" in the setlist and an especially emotional "Trouble Loves Me". I thought both were incredible. I also love "The Loop", a nice little ditty that gets the heart pumping and feet stomping. So: I just wanna say, I haven't been away, I'm still right here, Where I always was.
Our Moz has another show in Paris and then he is off to Lyon and Strasbourg. We are very fortunate Mozza is still touring and causing a buzz amongst the faithful. It's reassuring to see him there doing what he loves and still being a creative force after all these years. In this world you can take nothing for granted, so these concerts shall be treasured moments from a once in a lifetime artist.
