I don't disagree. Bought both post-Shane releases and enjoyed them.

But much like the Beatles in their solo years, you found the odd good track on an album, but it was clear that they benefited from being together. The four albums Pogue Mahone, Waiting for Herb, The Snake and The Crock of Gold would've made 2 f***in great records had they stayed together.

As did NW3, which eventually evolved in Mother Mo Chroi.

I personally love both of Shane's "solo" albums but I always try not to compare them directly with the Pogues output as really, they are of quite different ilks. Yeah, they both have their roots in the same place, but the Popes sound and the Pogues sound is different, and therefore not directly comparable. Just enjoy these things for what they are.

Though going back to an earlier debate, of course "Donegal Express" was also originally a Pogues song (at least in demo form) and I would love to see that done by its originally intended performers. I think it had slightly different lyrics to the Popes version but I could be wrong.......

The Snake is flawless.

Crock of Gold has its fair share of missteps/indulgencies but brings much more piss and vinegar than PM or Waiting for Herb.

Agree 1000%

I believe Philip has expressed that there is little to no interest in performing anything other than true Pogues-with-Shane tracks.

Meh, Crock of Gold? I can really take it or leave it. The Snake is actually quite good, but neither solo albums have anything on the Pogues albums.

Infact, my favorite Post-Pogues album of any member would be the Bucks.

I've been meaning to get back to you on this but have been very busy. I agree with your list with one exception. Fiesta! Not because I love the song but because I would feel bad if it were someone's first Pogues show and they didn't get to see it performed live.

What a very good point. You can't have a Pogues gig without Fiesta can you. It just ain't right.

That tune is killer. Think you can work it into the set list?

by **Guest** Mon Jan 22, 2007 10:45 pm

I wouldn't expect any significant changes to the setlist. '06 shows in U.S. were almost identical. At least holiday shows had a few from the vault.
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, or something.

It would only be great if you won. What if some guy who wins takes the piss and makes them play worms 40 times. This is a crap idea I cant beleive they are doing this. Its an outrage.

Don't worry. They're not doing it, it was just a suggestion. Also, I realised I left RNiS off my original post, but can't edit it because I wasn't logged in at the time.

So many good songs for them to chose from.

If I did get to pick a non-shane song that they would play for me (us), I'd probably pick Blue Heaven. Such a beautiful song.

I think the Pogues could really do "Aisling" as it had been originally intended as a Pogues song.

And I´d love to hear Terry Woods singing Grá gael mo chroí, one of the finest songs ever by a Pogues member.

Yes, but it's not a Pogues song, is it?

I could imagine you have never even considered doing a song from one of the single members of the group !?

Yeah, they should play something for Tommy. LLH is better than some of the songs on the current set lists. I don't see what the big deal is all about. As far as I can see, there is no law against playing something from Crock Of Gold.
