Summary: Great live CD! Great bargain! 18 songs!
Comment: This is a great live CD with 18 full-size songs. A nice blend of Smiths, "You are the quarry", and various other songs.
I am not familiar with the Patti Smith version of the song, but I found Morrissey's re-imagined version to be one of the best tracks on the CD.
This is also a CD that sounds real well when you play it on "RANDOM" on your cd/mp3 player :-)
It may not be perfect, but it's hard to really complain about this live CD! A must for Morrissey/Smiths fans!

Summary: Enjoyable for all fans, rookies and veterans alike!
Comment: I really appreciate that morrissey decided to release the live album and live DVD (of two different shows!) from the 2004 tour that supported his fantastic "You Are The Quarry" album. The songs from "Quarry" sound even better live, and it is nice that he is starting to play more of his songs from the Smiths era. If you decide not to buy this full album, you must pick up the single from this concert "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"/"Redondo Beach". "Redondo Beach" is a Patti Smith cover, and to disagree with one of the previous reviews, I enjoy it very much (perhaps because I love to hear Morrissey sing anything, especially if it is outside of his normal routine. Another highlight is the first verse of "Subway Train" by the New York Dolls. The New York Dolls are a Morrissey favorite, and he even wrote a book about them years before he started singing in bands. Here "Subway Train" leads into "Munich Air Disaster 1958, a fantastic b-side from the "Irish Blood, English Heart" single. On the "Who Put The 'M' in Manchester" live DVD he uses it to introduce "Everyday Is Like Sunday," which he did frequently on the 2004 tour. It works well in both cases. Sorry if I focused on the details instead of the whole, but this live disc is great. If you are used to listening to inferior fan-recorded concerts, do yourself a favor, support the best band in the world, and buy this album and the "Manchester" DVD.

Summary: A great live performance!
Comment: I actually bought this CD and forgot about it for a bit because I was listening to his studio music. I only caught a few glimpses here and there. Then after a dry spell I looked and saw this CD in my collection and put her in.
I was pretty amazed at just how well Morrissey's voice sounds on this album. First off if Moz is going to finally add "Smiths" tracks to his tour then a "Smiths" reunion is not necessary.
A great selection of tracks on this album. I do love "Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice" for some reason. Great vocal on "Shoplifters of the world" but a stellar performance on "You Know I Couldn't Last" which I think is the best track on the album. He does throw in the much over played "How Soon Is Now" and "Bigmouth" but he should have at least added "A Rush And a Push" which was electrifying on his "Manchester" DVD. Overall the CD is great and produced well. Morrissey's voice to me sounds better live now (on this cd) than ever before when he just tried to play around with the songs live instead of performing them. If you watch the VHS "Live In Dallas" you'll see what I mean. He has matured and so has the band. I like to hear a good live show that doesn't veer off too much with the original and that isn't sloppy. Defiantly not sloppy here. This disc is a must for any fan.
I wonder how many times he slurs his "R's" on this disc?

Summary: LIVE AT EARL'S COURT : MOZ MOZ MOZ
Comment: Morrissey has always been known to be a great showman and he put on a wonderful live show that, at times, has overshadowed his recorded output. Live At Earl's Court is a much more slicker and polished affair than the ragged performance on the last live album, Beethoven Was Deaf. that raw atmosphere is missed here, but this 2005 Moz still reigns supreme with his brand of melodramatic modern rock. choice tracks from You Are The Quarry are spilling over with enthusiasm and The Smiths cuts sound absolutely jaw-dropping. especially "There Is A Light" which beams and shines with a newfound purpose and meaning that still sounds just as potent and passionate as it did when it was first released. Moz sounds much wiser and more mature and his voice has never sounded better. the only bad points for this performance is that Morrissey's witty stage banter has been edited out. which is too bad, because that's always part of the fun of his performances that i've always enjoyed. but the music is on point and strong...so i can't complain too much. oh yes, one more point to mention....this cd is wonderful, but for the full experience, everyone needs to get their hands on the "Who Put The 'M' In Manchester" dvd. that is the real Morrissey live show!

Summary: Talk Of His Brilliance? Well They Weren't Lies...
Comment: A kick in the eye to the sticker division at Morrissey's record company, responsible for the genius label on the cover of this latest Morrissey release explaining Live At Earls Court contains `Rarely Performed Smith's tracks'. Empty fools. Nonetheless, when a live album begins with The Greatest B-Side Of All Time, How Soon Is Now?, as performed by the towering intellect behind its charming lyrics, you know you've hit a rich seam of musical gold. As Stephen Patrick Morrissey's voice warms to the occasion during this live London show recorded at the tail end of 2004, further Smiths hits make up a generous third of this 18 track collection, alongside a similar portion of old solo tunes and songs from his most recent outing, You Are The Quarry. Ol' Mozz might have his audience patter well rehearsed, but the clarity and quality of his vocals during this show is consistently impressive. The chugging guitar riff of newest addition Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice, the lyrical switch of walkman to iPod on Bigmouth Strikes Again and the hint of reggae on the Patti Smith cover Redondo Beach are all of note for Morrissey trainspotters, while less obvious tunes such as Let Me Kiss You, I Like You and You Know I Couldn't Last are similarly solid. Morrissey is at his best on There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, although You Are The Quarry highlight, I Have Forgiven Jesus, comes to a hard hitting end with the lyric `Why did you stick in self-deprecating bones and skin - do you hate me?'. Morrissey really shouldn't sound this great after years in the commercial wilderness, but thank Salford he does. This storming live album ends with an immense take on Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me and Morrissey's departing plea, "Don't forget me". No chance of that Stephen - the world is listening once more.

As Morrissey's critically acclaimed world tour ended during the holiday season 2004 in the UK, the audio trucks were there to capture the five sold out dates: London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Brighton and Dublin.
