We bought our tickets to see Morrissey in Manchester several months ago (his 50th birthday concert), but when last week we started to make the final arrangements to go e.g. check train times, hotels, etc. we decided we really couldn't be bothered, so we sold the tickets. To use annoying contemporary terminology, it was a "no brainer".
I feel a bit guilty as I love Morrissey and the Smiths, but I really wasn't looking forward to it, knowing that he'd play all the songs I don't want to hear and none of the ones I do. And I don't like his band which for me lacks subtlety and sounds a bit thrashy live. Last time I saw him I was bored.
Would anyone else throw away the chance to see Mozza in his home town on his 50th?
