Well Hello

The world is coming apart at the seams. Afghanistan, Hurricane Ida about to devastate Louisiana, Covid on a deadly rampage and Haiti in shambles. Those 2 words last night (Well Hello) made things a little calmer and the world not such horrid place for a short time. That's because Our Moz has returned to the stage, starting his residency at Caesars Palace  in Las Vegas. I have been anticipating the show for some time now. Of course Mozza did not disappoint. He looked good and his voice sounded fine. 

I was very curious how the band would sound. It was a different vibe and not in a bad way at all. It was nice to see Alain Whyte back on stage with Our Moz. He is a consummate professional and a standout musician in his own right. I did miss Boz a bit. It always seems normal seeing Boz to the left of Moz.(or right depending on your perspective).  Alain was great. Solomon Walker is back on bass and was solid. The backbone of the band has been Matt Walker. Brendan Buckley is the new drummer. He did a good job replacing Matt. I'm no musician, but to me the band was excellent backing Our Moz.

Everyone always comments on the setlist. It was good, it was bad, it was great, it sucked. My comment is Mozza is going to play what he wants to. It's his concert. I am just happy to hear the songs and appreciate what he decides to play. He added some gems to this show for the audience. "Never Had No One Ever", "The Lazy Sunbathers" and "This Night Has Opened My Eyes", It was a great start to Mozza's Las Vegas residency. The patrons were happy to get to see Morrissey live again. And we all know, Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage. I'm excited to see and hear what happens tonight in Vegas. Bravo, Mozza!
