This was a great concert. Morrissey was in top shape, playful and talkative. Only half of the venue was filled, but the crowd present was very energetic. The fans danced and sang along to their favourite songs. Several of them managed to make it on stage during the encore when it seemed the whole crowd wanted to be there.
For the first time in many weeks there were only minor changes to the setlist. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me and Irish Blood, English Heart took the place of Let Me Kiss You. This means that the crowd in Waukegan was treated to a record seven songs from the Smiths days.

When he came on stage Morrissey greeted the audience with the line It's wet, it's Wednesday, it's Waukegan, I've been sent to cheer you up! One verse into set opener Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before a fan in the front rows shouted something and Morrissey matter-of-factly said yeah? Over the final bars of the song he went next to the drumkit and slowly articulated what was printed on the bass drum's skin: Some... of... us... is... turning... nasty!. After the song he thanked the cheering crowd and added ...and thank you for dragging yourself along... After Tomorrow he asked someone who was wearing one of the tour shirts, Very nice shirt if I may say... Who designed it? Me!... Following Sister I'm A Poet he teased the crowd into action by saying Now I gather, because this is such a ornate theatre, that you're all stuck in those dreadful mouse glue traps that they sell at Home Depot... Are you trapped? The crowd shouted in the negative, but it backfired on them because Morrissey then asked So you're willingly static? (crowd: no!)... Yesss! My fault...

Morrissey followed the line and do you think you've made the right decision this time? in London with a shout of ME? NO! After the song he proceeded with the introduction of the band: You can see by the name tags on their shirts... faking brutes(?), Boz Boorer... Solomon Walker... Matt Walker... a real Mexican, Jesse Tobias... and would you please wish Happy Birthday to Michael Farrell The crowd cheered but didn't wish Michael happy birthday, so Morrissey shouted You didn't say it! and this time the crowd complied. Following Jack The Ripper he said I have to confess that (someone shouts 'we love you Morrissey!')... Ah, you must never feel pressurized, really, you must never feel pressurized... However, when I was in school (someone shouts something) Why, why is that? When I was in school - I have to confess - history lessons never mentioned Waukegan (crowd laughs)... I don't know why, but they never did. However I'm sure when you were in school, they never mentioned me! So that's it really!

Kenny Loggins was booked to play Waukegan as well in the following weeks, so after Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself Morrissey joked I'm not really sure, is it as good as Kenny Loggins? I don't know... I can't tell... After the line is there any point ever having children in Stretch Out And Wait he grunted No!. After the song he pointed to the backdrop showing Richard Burton and asked And the historical figure behind me is? He walked along the first row and took fans' answers, until someone shouted the right one and he said very good... Then someone shouted for Speedway and Morrissey immediately shouted No! As an introduction to The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores he said One of the fascinating horrors about the American media is that obsession with really dull women. For example Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton... they're never interested in intelligent women, always really stupid women and... Why do you think this is? Oh, you must know... you must know, somebody must know, I mean does anybody care about Anna Nicole Smith? (crowd: no!, someone points out Hillary Clinton) Well, there's no point discussing her really, 'cause she's not human (crowd laughs)... However I think we have to realise that... Well Hillary, you know, is she a woman? I've never seen Hillary and Bill together, I think it's the same person... I think we can safely gage that the world is full of crashing bores.
