This was probably the best concert I’ve ever been to, and so much better than when I saw him in London in ’97. I just think that’s so cool – seeing Morrissey in Omaha was way better than seeing him in London. I should be on an Omaha commercial. But that show 10 years ago was almost spiteful toward the audience – a very short setlist, and the only Smiths song was the very telling “Paint A Vulgar Picture.” But tonight’s show was about as far from that as possible. Morrissey seemed to be having a blast.

here’s the setlist by my notes:
1. The Queen is Dead
2. First of the Gang to Die
3. The Youngest Was the Most Loved
4. You Have Killed Me
5. Disappointed
6. Panic
7. Let Me Kiss You
8. I Just Want to See the Boy Happy
9. I Will See You in Far Off Places
10. I’ve Changed My Plea to Guilty
11. National Front Disco
12. The Boy with the Thorn in His Side
13. Irish Blood, English Heart
14. All You Need is Me (new song)
15. At Last I Am Born
16. In the Future When All’s Well
17. Ganglord
18. Life is a Pigsty
19. How Soon is Now?
20. Every Day is Like Sunday

encore:
21. Drive-In Saturday (Bowie cover)
22. You’re Gonna Need Someone On Your Side

favorite banter of the night:
He was talking about how one of his heroes was born just down the road. Asking the crowd if they know who he’s talking about, some crowd members guess “Oscar Wilde?”
“Sadly, Oscar Wilde was not born in Lincoln,” Morrissey responds. “His fault, really.”
