and the winner is... Morrissey at Old Trafford Cricket Ground What began as a whisper ended as a dream. The year began with the hints and the rumours of Morrissey's return. By May, the faithful were bowing down at the Arena and You Are the Quarry was being hailed as the greatest comeback of the year... It was his headline slot at Move, though, that really cemented his reputation and his ressurection. A stone's throw from his childhood home and before his Elvis '68 comeback special name in lights, he delivered a storming set of classics and new tunes with an expected air of humility. The "local boy made bad" took us through a history lesson of his formative years living near the ground and popped out the immense Everyday Is Like Sunday to prove his sense of humour. It was, in a word, emotional. |
