I attended with a few friends, the Morrissey gig at Blackburn King Georges Hall on the 2nd of November 2002. We drove over from Manchester.
Incredible gig. Has gone down in history as quite a rowdy and noisy affair.
When he threw his shirt into the crowd near the end, I got very excited as it was heading in my direction and I managed to wrap the cuff around my hand. I went down with the shirt. Feet in the air and head on the floor. I WASN'T letting go!!!
I escaped with the entire sleeve! Which incidentally seemed completely doused in Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue and smelt wonderful. It was a very emotional experience.
The shirt has been sealed in a plastic food bag with the gig ticket for the last 12 years or so, so it probably stinks now lol.
We even discussed the incident back then at the time, on the Moz forums:
