Who Put the M in Manchester? Clearly the answer is Morrissey. Performing on his forty-fifth birthday (“I can't believe I'm 29” he quips to the audience, as charmingly as ever), Morrissey seems to be paying homage to fellow crooner Elvis Presley's 1968 comeback special with the stage set consisting of his solely his name, huge in lights.
Experiencing a comeback of his own at the time of the concert, Morrissey begins the show with my favorite song from his career altering album You are The Quarry (First of the Gang to Die). He also performs several songs from the excellent Viva Hate. You can watch the entire performance on instant Netflix.
But what do you think?
