| | Morrissey Live At Earls Court CD Morrissey Discography of CDs
 (6 Customer Reviews)
Morrissey has no qualms about catering to Smiths fans, opening the set with a faithful rendition of "How Soon Is Now?" Backed by a top-notch five-piece band that includes his longtime guitarist Boz Boorer, Moz runs through numerous album tracks and B-sides from QUARRY, along with Smiths classics and cover tunes. Morrissey's mid-tempo, reggae-tinged take on Patti Smith's "Redondo Beach" provides a nice change of pace in the energetic set, and later, a wonderfully dramatic version of the New York Dolls' "Subway Train" is paired in a medley with the rare track "Munich Air Disaster 1958." Throughout the concert, Moz is at his crooning best, proving that he can still work fans into a frenzy almost 20 years after his heyday with the Smiths.
Following his well-received 2004 comeback album, YOU ARE THE QUARRY, British rock icon Morrissey embarked on a lengthy tour. This live document presents the revered former Smiths singer performing at London's Earls Court in front of an adoring crowd of more than 17,000 people.

I can't be wrong all the time...
I just can't be, it's impossible. Morrissey's voice has never sounded better. Although he sounded at his peak on Quarry, this live album shows just how fine tuned his voice has become. Compare this album with any from "The Smiths" to "Maladjusted". He is on top of his game. His Smiths classics are incredible as are older hits such as "Nevember Spawned A Monster" and "The More You Ignore Me...". This is a five star album, hands down. Can't wait for more from Moz!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Not at Morrissey's best
This isn't Morrissey's best live album. I like it well enough, but wouldn't reccomend it to others. The best song is a cover--that doesn't say too muchy for it. Moz's voice on "Quarry" was awesome...now I'm wondering if quite a bit of that was enhanced. He's getting old and this CD shows it. Plus I wish it was all one live cut--it's not. I like a live album that takes me through the show start to finish...one that makes me feel like I was actually there. This one just doesn't do it for me

Pimp my album indeed!
As is said atop. This album is one in it's own. Which goes to say that you should own it!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Pimp My Album
Live at Earls Court is like Pimp My Album. You are the Quarry gets juiced up and the songs have never sounded so great. Throw in a bunch of Smiths classics and you can't go wrong with this CD. The Legend of Moz lives on!

Live At Earls Court album
 $43.65 
Recorded between 1978 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, and Johnny Black.
A remarkable four-disc set of B-sides and rarities, JOIN THE DOTS serves as a sort of alternate history for the Cure, one of the world's most beloved post-punk/alt-rock bands. Painstakingly compiled by Cure frontman (and the group's only constant member) Robert Smith, DOTS provides dozens of glimpses into the literal flip-side of their singles by collecting many long-lost tracks, ...

Live At Earls Court CD music
$17.85
This version of YOU ARE THE QUARRY includes nine bonus tracks and a bonus DVD featuring videos and live performances.
Armed with a new label (Attack Records), a new producer (Jerry Finn of Blink 182 and Green Day fame), and, on the album cover, a Tommy gun, Morrissey immediately lines up his targets at the outset of YOU ARE THE QUARRY. The sharp-witted Brit-pop icon takes shots at the United States and England, respectively, on the biting "America Is Not the World" and the bold "Irish Blood, English Heart." Unsurprisingly, the rest of the album doesn't shy ...

Live At Earls Court music CDs
$12.89 
When David Bowie recorded what became DAVID LIVE at Philadelphia's Tower Theatre in July 1974, he had fully made the leap from Ziggy Stardust and landed feet-first into the shoes of the Thin White Duke. Despite announcing his retirement from live performance the year before, Bowie seemed no worse for wear fronting a ten-piece directed by future LETHAL WEAPON composer Michael Kamen and featuring new guitarist Earl Slick and horn player David Sanborn. This 2-CD set finds the chameleonic performer mixing ...
