Morrissey

Who Put the ‘M' in Manchester?

To commemorate his outstanding comeback last year, Steven Patrick Morrissey captured his birthday performance in his hometown — a gig that encapsulates exactly what this legend is all about. Covering his entire solo career, the set list is near-perfect, only missing the mark by including one measly Smiths song. Moving onstage like he never lost a beat, Moz reveals his full personality, giving the ecstatic crowd exactly what they wanted. Another five songs from his appearance at the Move festival are included, as well as promos for each of his three singles from You Are the Quarry and Meet Your Meat, a jaw-dropping short doc on the mistreatment of animals designed for meat-eating sinners.
