I was kinda skeptical about seeing the band, but there wasnt i chance that i

would of missed it. But the show last night put all of that to rest. Shane

Macgowan looked and sounded great. They played all the songs i wanted to

hear. There was a little tension between a few of the band members that

added for a couple of laughs. All in all probably one of the top 5 concerts ive

ever been to.

    I would die to see the Pogues. I kind of discovered them in the last year or so. There are so many great bands I never had the exposure to growing up. I bet it would be a killer concert. Are they touring all over right now?

    Saw them last year on the West Coast tour, looking forward to the San Diego show next week. Glad to hear the opener was good too.

    I was really amazed at how (relatively) with-it Shane was last year.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Last night was an excellent show from the Pogues. I was impressed with Shane, while still shuffiling around, his voice is stronger and clearer than last year. And the band, as always, was very tight. No Fairytale of New York this year though, definitely a highlight of last years show.
