The tone of the article is very uplifting as there are many positive words like ‘sense of excitement’, and ‘his moment of glory’ these suggest that this gig was highly popular and he had many fans that was excited to see him. The language for this article is slightly more mature than other articles, which wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation. Using words like ‘eligible’ which is quite a sophisticated word. He described the fans as ‘fanatical’ they are seen as slightly over the top to listening to the Morrissey. He uses a quote like ‘you could barely hear the band for the scream’ this shows how great the atmosphere must have been. It could make the readers wish they were there, or if they were remembering what happened. The words that could appeal to his target audience are words like that ‘capture the rapport between band and audience’ it has good imagery and a lovely tone this could appeal to the more mature readers of the magazine. They could also understand some of his technical language but most of it is kept quite simple so it is open to all types of reader. The quote that has been used was from the bass player saying ‘Here you can have it, Kevin; it’s yours’ this was talking the writer of the article. The quote sounds very spur of the moment and sounds like an exciting lifestyle where anything can be just given away. The lead image is a very large picture of Morrissey which takes up most of the first page of the double page spread. This is very bold and instantly you know what the article is about. The stand first is underneath the main title, it is clear what the article is about, they use a bigger font than the rest of the article. The columns have been made into short paragraphs which describe the pictures in the article.
