After touring mainland Europe and America and taking a one-week break, Morrissey crossed the Atlantic again for some British dates promoting his latest album "Kill Uncle" as well as newest non-album single "Pregnant For The Last Time".

The older tradition of littering the stage with flowers and the newer one of throwing cigarettes during "Our Frank" held strong throughout this leg of the Kill Uncle tour. Also, Morrissey re-entered stage for the encore with a signed tambourine which he would play with, then throw into the audience.

The personnel was Boz Boorer (guitars), Alain Whyte (guitars), Gary Day (bass) and Spencer Cobrin (drums).

Phranc, who had started the tour with Morrissey but left into the recent American leg because of the death of her brother, was back on board.

- T-shirts with Edith Sitwell on front (view) and "Morrissey '91" on back (view) were sold for 12£.
- A similar t-shirt was also sold for £12, this one with Harvey Keitel on the front (view).
- Large poster of Tench Street photo (view), £5.
- Large poster of Bona Drag (view), £5, sold at the Scottish shows.
- Smaller posters, same as the large ones above, plus another one with Morrissey throwing a football in the air (view), £4.
- Tour programme with Edith Sitwell on the cover, tour dates, and a "Our Phranc" 3 page feature, £5.

Siouxsie And The Banshees' "Mirage" was on the intro tape for one or all legs of this tour. Morrissey and his band entered stage after Klaus Nomi's "Wayward Sisters". The audience left the venue to Shirley Bassey's "Ave Maria".

The Harvey Keitel backdrop (view original and in situ) was used during the main set and the Edith Sitwell one (view original and in situ) during the encore.

The content of the 19-track setlist didn't vary much over this leg of the Kill Uncle tour, but the track sequence was changed at regular intervals. No new song was introduced for the first time in front of a live audience, but most were performed for the first time in England.

The set was built around a 16-track backbone of "Mute Witness", "Sing Your Life", "King Leer", "Asian Rut" and "Our Frank" from the most recent album "Kill Uncle", earlier singles "Interesting Drug", "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys", "November Spawned A Monster", "Everyday Is Like Sunday", "Piccadilly Palare" and "Suedehead", newest single "Pregnant For The Last Time" and album/single tracks "Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together", "Yes I Am Blind", "That's Entertainment" and "Disappointed" as the closer.

"There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends" was performed on all nights except once, in Blackburn, when it was replaced by "I've Changed My Plea To Guilty". "Will Never Marry" was played on the very first date then dropped in favour of "Cosmic Dancer" which returned as a pair with closer "Disappointed" for a few nights. "Trash" was played until midway into the leg when it, along with "Cosmic Dancer", was replaced by "Alsatian Cousin" and "The Loop".

In "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys", Morrissey constantly sang "just to make myself attracted to you" and occasionally reversed Reggie and Ronnie Kray's names. In "Sing Your Life", he changed a few lines to the more personal "I have a lovely singing voice" and "They stole the notion from me" and sometimes sang "All the things you love, all the things you don't love" instead of "All the things you love, all the things you loathe". In "Everyday Is Like Sunday", he made quite a few lyric modifications. He often sang "back down to the bench where your clothes were stolen / I do believe this is the coastal town" and always "scratch on a postcard" and "please come, please come nuclear bomb".

"Piccadilly Palare" was systematically ended in a short jam which segued iinto Morrissey's cover of the New York Dolls "Trash", until the latter was dropped. At the end of "That's Entertainment", the band broke into a frantic drum and guitar frenzy not in the studio version. In "Pregnant For The Last Time", the line "If ever we had the nerve to" was changed to "If ever we had the chance to", or else the two lines were reversed, and "And people being nice for the very first time" was changed to "...the very last time". The song was often introduced sarcastically by Morrissey with remarks about his lack of chart success. In "Disappointed", Morrissey usually changed the line "Young girl one day you will be old" to "Young girl one day I really will be old" and finished that song by repeating "yes! yes! yes! yes!" instead of singing "No I've changed my mind again".

"Yes I Am Blind" was a much more minimal affair than the studio version. Morrissey didn't sing the two occurrences of "God come down if you're really there, well you're the one who claims to care". Instead the song stopped and restarted. On the first occurrence of this he sometimes started "there must be something horribly wrong..." and held back finishing "...with me?", teasing the audience into singing along. He sang "Little lamb on a hill, run fast if you will" to make it rhyme with the previous line.

Jam cover "That's Entertainment" was often preceded by the start of an introduction like "this song was written by...", but Morrissey never once said who the original artist was.  

At this point in time, nothing from these dates has been made available on official releases.

Three consecutive dates from this leg of the Kill Uncle tour were recorded from the audience and are circulated on bootleg videos. The most easily found, and arguably the best of the three, is the recording of the entire London Wembley Arena concert. This was filmed from the left balcony and has minor obstructions. The recording of the London Brixton Academy is shaky and at times obstructed. The Brighton recording is very shaky and the footage was shot between the shoulders of the people standing in front of the bootlegger. It will appeal to completists only (and perhaps to people who attended the show).

All of the concerts in this section are circulated on audio bootlegs at this point in time, except for Blackburn, which is unfortunate because it is the only gig of this section in which "I've Changed My Plea To Guilty" was performed.

For the six other dates, the most interesting bootleg would have to be "London 1991" available from a recording of London's Wembley Arena concert. The full concert is included and the bootleg is reasonably easy to find. The sound quality is almost as good as soundboard, but the crowd noise hints at this being an audience recording. Other bootlegs exist for this same concert, but they are less interesting than this one. Full information in concert details.

Collectors interested in hearing more will want to go for fair/reasonable audience recordings of London's Brixton Academy, Brighton and Doncaster. Finally audience recordings are also available for Liverpool and Glasgow but these sound rather poor. More than one recording is available for some of these dates. For full information, click on individual date links.

All of what is mentioned above is available on file sharing networks. However, for the Glasgow date, only the first twelve songs are in circulation on the internet at this point in time.
