Morrissey loves Pomona. Pomona worships Morrissey. The atmosphere was electric inside the Fox Theater as Morrissey closed out his swing of Southern California dates. From the moment Morrissey and his band appeared on stage, the crowd roared and applauded voraciously. Sensing such an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd, Morrissey soaked up the adoration and turned in a spirited performance.

While Morrissey gets the majority of the
attention, his band is an integral component to recreating his songs as
multi-instrumentalist Gustavo Manzur used an accordion on "When I
Last Spoke To Carol" to flesh out the arrangement. The tongue-in-cheek
moment of the evening was spotting the band wearing UCLA t-shirts in
possible reference to playing the Shrine during the USC-UCLA game on
Saturday or perhaps they were selected to match Morrissey's green shirt.

Amongst
the few microphone chord whips, one of Morrissey's quips was how he was
"bored shitless" upon visiting the museum of ceramics in Pomona after
stating he remembers playing here in 2009 with great fondness. Another
new song "Scandinavia" soared with its symphonic strings interwoven
with jangling guitars.
