Description:
A triumphant homecoming this show from 2004 saw ex-Smiths star Morrissey returning to his native Manchester to play a sold out concert on his birthday. Having spent the year basking in the glory afforded to his comeback album YOU ARE THE QUARRY the inimitable singer undertook a lengthy world tour in support of the record. Naturally a few old classics were thrown into the mix including a few old Smiths songs such as "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "Shoplifters of the World Unite." Both Morrissey and the audience clearly delight in the occasion and with Moz sounding better than he has done in a while

The answer is, of course, Morrissey. Released in conjunction with Live From Earl's Court, Who Put the M in Manchester documents a different performance and set list. That said, both concerts were in support of You Are the Quarry and include a healthy dose of Smiths material. On the DVD, Morrissey is in fine voice and good spirits--and why not? He isn't just in front of a home audience, but May 22nd was his birthday (as he jokes, "I can't believe I'm 29"). The rest of the solo tracks, like "Hairdresser on Fire" and "Everyday is Like Sunday," are mostly drawn from Viva Hate. Bonus features include four videos and another live Manchester set from 2004. Those looking for a career retrospective may be disappointed as his last few albums are largely ignored. For the Morrissey fanatic, however, the hyperbole of the title is likely to be fully justified. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
