Morrissey - First Of The Gang To Die (Live Performance)

Date: July 22, 2004

On July 22, 2004, Morrissey performed 'First Of The Gang To Die,' a standout track from his album 'You Are The Quarry,' released just a few months earlier in May. This performance marked a significant moment in his career, as 'You Are The Quarry' was his first studio album in nearly a decade following a string of less commercially successful efforts. It not only rekindled his connection with fans but also showcased his enduring appeal as a solo artist, capturing the attention of a new generation. Interestingly, this live performance also encapsulated Morrissey's signature style, blending his barbed wit with haunting melodies, and helped solidify his status in the indie rock scene after a period of relative obscurity. Fans and critics alike celebrated this comeback, which was punctuated by the album's successful tracks, reflecting his relentless spirit and unique voice in the music industry.
