Morrissey at The Event Center at San Jose State University | San Jose, California | 7/25/2015 (Concert Review + Photos)

“When I grow too old to dream, remember me…”  Morrissey, though frequently employing an economy of words on stage, always has something interesting to say.  Over the past few years, he has seemed a bit preoccupied with the darker themes of mortality and retiring from live performances.  And given his track record prior to this tour just completed, it has made those shows that do come together that much more magical, as it can all feel rare and fleeting.  With the concert at The Event Center at San Jose State University on Saturday night, things seemed to come together quite perfectly (apart from the fact that Amanda Palmer sadly had to cancel her supporting set due to medical issues).  Morrissey seemed to be in a great and (for him anyway) chatty mood to boot.  The audience was stellar.  All in all, it was a fantastic show with a captivating set list and a few surprises as well.  I think this is the first time I’ve seen Morrissey in the past few years in which he seems really both at ease and dare I say kind of joyous on stage.  It’s as if he’s found a new path forward, surrounded by great fellow musicians who can create a show for themselves as much as for the audience.  As one of my all-time favorite artists, it’s certainly motivated me to continue to turn out for any of his shows that I can.  There is always an element of excitement in the air as well as an overwhelming feeling of authenticity.  He is one of a handful of artists that can still give me that chill down my spine and make me feel like I am witnessing something genuine and important.

Morrissey and his 2015 tour will be coming to the Event Center at San Jose State University on July 25th, with special guest Amanda Palmer. Some health issues led to premature cancellations of tours in recent years, but thus far things seem to be going quite favorably with this current set of dates, which kicked off last month.  It will all wrap up next Saturday.  Tickets for the Goldenvoice show are still available at www.Ticketmaster.com.
