"Morrissey is one of the most unique artists of our time. He is an
amazing storyteller as well as musician, truly resonating with our

intensely loyal," said Danny Crowe, president, LATV. "We are thrilled to
exclusively showcase this rock icon for our national audience on LATV en

and his music. The Morrissey concert took place on September 29 at the
