    Live: Morrissey at Bob Hope Theatre

    MozARTICLE BY CHERYL CHENG

    MAY 26 | STOCKTON—As much as his fans love him, Morrissey can be a bit temperamental, so when you go to one of his concerts, you aren't sure what to expect. Will he be in a good mood? Will he perform mostly his newer material, or will he surprise us with his classics and songs from The Smiths catalog? Thankfully the long drive to Stockton was worth it, as tonight was one of Morrissey's better performances.

    With an image of Oscar Wilde asking "Who is Morrissey?" in the background, the band opened with The Smiths' "Shoplifters of the World Unite," which was greeted with cheers from the fans, many of whom had left their assigned seats to gather around the stage in an impromptu pit area. The band members (Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, Solomon Walker, and Gustavo Manzur) all wore red T-shirts with the words "Assad is shit," with the exception of Boz Boorer, who was dressed in a sparkly dress and reddish brown wig. Morrissey kept his discussion of the T-shirts' bold message brief, expressing his outrage over the recent massacre in Syria, before segueing into the song "People Are the Same Everywhere."
