Making its debut on DVD this concert film was shot live over two nights at Sheffield City Hall (February 7th) and the Winter Gardens, Blackpool (February 8th) on Morrissey's 1995 UK tour in support of the previous year's platinum selling album, ‘Vauxhall And I'. Which hit the no. 1 spot in the UK and peaked at no. 18 on the Billboard album chart. Directed by James O'Brien, it captures Morrissey in full flow and sparkling form. As well as songs from the Vauxhall album there are favourites from the preceding ‘Your Arsenal' album and the Morrissey's live interpretation of the classic 'Moon River'.Approx. running time: 62 minutes

Possibly the best Moz show ever!!
THIS IS KABOOM AWESOME! I've seen alot of Moz gigs but this one is 'a band apart' from those vids. This set is comprised of all Morrissey material in 1995, no smiths tunes on this one guys but it is so good you wont care, promise. I consider myself a huge fan but this gig totally threw me off, I was being turned onto a period in his career where he is separating himself from the Smiths and unleashing these monster tracks, Morrissey speaking. This is a great performance and not just another 'show' like 25 alive.

Typical Mesmerizing Morrissey...
Just amazing as expected. Certainly worth a few bucks for a rental no matter how many times you've watched him perform in the past. It builds toward a tremendous finish. Will always remember this. Performance was right about the time I first discovered Morrissey and got sucked in by his mysterious captivating quality. I can't explain why I'm so mesmerized by Moz. It seems to defy all my other musical preferences and any logical explanation I can come up with. And that's the beauty of it.

amazing concert by amazing artist
Yes, I can see why Moz is popular among latinos and yes he is the king of indie britpop and britrock, Hail Morrissey.

Really liked it but I watched some of his newer stuff
A diffferent kind of singer....he is fascinating on stage. Really liked it but I watched some of his newer stuff...much older now. The mystique is kind of dissipated but I'm older too so I get the vanishing aura. A great singer in his day.

Great shows, questionable editing
I love this period of Morrissey's career. I've seen him live many times over the decades, and these two shows are excellent in their energy and musical quality, plus Moz's voice is in top form. This video captures all of his enthusiasm, joy, and aggression while performing. He hasn't done most of these songs live in a very long time so it's great to have a record of them via video. My only complaint (hence four stars instead of five) is that the editing is too heavy handed. The constant cuts and jumps (often every few seconds) get irritating and distracting when you just want to watch Moz and the band do their thing. I get why James O'Brien likely did it that way, to add to the frenetic energy of the performances. But it ends up detracting from rather than adding to the film.

Eines der besten Konzerte Morrisseys
Für jeden Morrissey-Fan ist diese DVD ein absolutes Muss.Neben dem legendären Konzert in Dallas 1991 zeigt dieser Konzertzusammenschnitt aus der "Boxers"-Tour 1995 Morrissey in Hochform. Nie sah er besser aus, nie war er präsenter auf der Bühne.Es sind viele Songs aus "Vauxhall and I" zu hören, aber auch Werke aus der Zeit davor.Sehr empfehlenswert!

Reminder.
Sometimes on rare occasions, I have caught myself wondering why. Most of the loyal fans know why, even though it's not easy to put into words. He just IS.My VHS of this had become rather worn, so nice to have this replacement as a little jolt/reminder.This will remind you why, if you're older now, & you're a clever swine.This IS Morrissey. THIS is Morrissey. This is MORRISSEY.And did those feet, in ancient time.....

Morrissey à son sommet
À l'heure où notre héros sort un des pires albums de sa discographie (« World peace is none of your business »), la réédition DVD tant attendue (depuis 1996 !) de cette vidéo live est à la fois une bouffée d'air frais, un rappel indispensable des qualités de chanteur et de "performer" du Mancunien et, faut-il le dire, un sérieux pincement de nostalgie au coeur. Voilà une époque où Morrissey était physiquement au sommet, certes, mais faisait surtout de l'ombre à 90% de la scène musicale. Ces deux concerts, combinés dans un seul film, sont contemporains de la sortie de gemmes comme « Vauxhall and I » mais aussi d'excellents singles tels que « Boxers » et « Interlude » : Morrissey et sa bande n'ont eu qu'à se pencher pour constituer une "tracklist" de rêve, aidés de surcroît par le travail efficace du réalisateur James O'Brien. Seul détail perfectible : la laideur de la jaquette (d'origine…), mais personne ne prétendra qu'elle ternisse en quoi que ce soit l'excellence de cette vidéo indispensable.
