'Morrissey - 25: Live' [Blu-ray]
(Morrissey / Blu ray / NR / 2013 / Eagle Eye Media)

Overview: 'Morrissey 25 Live' is a legacy concert film marking 25 years of the solo career of one of the world's most iconic and enigmatic performers. It was shot during Morrissey's most intimate gig in decades at the Hollywood High School in Los Angeles on March 2nd, 2013.

Blu ray Verdict: I guess for all you devoted fans out there we should clear this point up first - this '25 Live' concert is just that; concert footage. There are no interviews or documentary content to be found anywhere, sorry.

OK, moving on and the film actually opens with fans talking about their undying devotion to the singer. They also discuss, as prompted to, of course, the unique appeal of this unusual venue - a striking contrast to the sold-out arena concert at the Staples Center the previous night!

The show itself is simply wonderful. So amazing to behold, well shot and chock full of wicked angles and vibrant (yup, I know) colors! Morrissey's backing band are great too, very solid. Led by longtime Morrissey guitarist Boz Boorer they know their lines, their places on stage.

Sure it looks at times as if Morrissey is getting a tad bit old for all this, but he is still in fine voice/form and puts on a great show. You will definitely want to view this on as large a screen as possible though, combined with a surround sound system, of course.

Indeed, this now legendary concert became Morrissey's penultimate performance on the US Tour. They even claim that tickets for the concert in the 1,800-seater school auditorium sold out in 12 seconds! As a fan, or otherwise in truth, watch it and find out why!
