We’ve come to wish Morrissey an unhappy birthday because, well, that’s probably what he’d want. The Mozzer turns 51 today, and in honor of that, we present, in its entirety, his 1992 concert film “Live in Dallas,” which, while still not available on DVD in the U.S., is floating around on YouTube.
The film was shot June 17, 1991, during a concert at the Starplex in Dallas, which was most notable for its ending: During “Everyday is Like Sunday,” Morrissey was overwhelmed by a barrage of stage invaders, and ultimately fled, leaving guitarist Alain Whyte to finish the song — and scrap the planned second encore of “Disappointed.”
You can watch the entire show — including Morrissey’s defeat at the hands of his own fans — in the playlist embedded above, or by individual song at Slicing Up Video.

I remember that show. That was a crazy ending to the concert. I was way in the back of the venue though.
I was so mad I missed that show back in the day. Is this why Morrissey leaves during his encores now? LOL
