Two Words: Fucking Awsome!

Tonight was probably my alltime favorite concert ever. Tossers started out with their own set which was fanatastic as expected, did a little bit of everything from all of their records which was nice. Everyone seemed to be digging it as they rightfully should. They played a good solid hour set then went backstage to rest up for a bit.

Then the Tossers returned to the stage and took to their posts. Then Spider Stacy came out looking like a total and complete bad ass. Say what you will but I personally love Spider and the two albums the Pogues did without Shane. Anyways, he came out and just got right to business. Huge fucking stand outs were White City, Thousands Are Sailing and Tuesday Morning. Really once they started playing I was sent to my own little world. I wasnt paying attention to anyone around me. I didnt care that I was screaming at the top of my lungs along with Spider, every lyric, every yelp, every cry, I was there on the spot. Never had I been so excited and claped and yelled so hard.

So after two solid hours of yelling lyrics and blowing my voice out it was worth it and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

I am in Detroit and am thinking about going to the show Sunday -- that is, if they dont start at 10 or 11.....Was this a late starting show?
