I am personally back in Halifax NS, Canada following the Tuesday night show.
I have to say, it was even better than I expected. Shane looked and sounded fantastic, as did the rest of the band. Every song was was an excellent inclusion and very very well executed! Certainly worth the trip to Boston for this. Had I had the cash I would've stayed for the second show!
As for Will Whitmore, yes, a LOT of people missed a fantastic set from him. Just amazing! But you know, the doors opened, some ppl got shirts, some ppl got beers and some ppl went to their seats. But the lobby was just simply PACKED because that's where the booze was. That's why there were only ~ 20 people actually seated for his set.
I really enjoyed the Street Dogs' set as well.
But sadly, I don't recall many of the really really fine details of the show. After leaving the show the GF and I considered going to that 'post Pogues" party at the what's-it-called bar they were handing out flyers for. But having decided to go back to the hotel instead, we hailed a cab.
Just outside the hotel, across the boulevard at the Comfort Inn on Morissey Boulevard, the cab hopped the curb, blowing both front tires and deploying both front airbags and sending my gf's face into the barrier.
We spend the next hour and a half at the emergency room. She got 4 stitches in her bottom lip, some sore teeth, and a sore nose. She'll be ok!
Anyway, had a great time all.
