I like the writing of that. Funny how people I think are morons can barely string a sentence together, like a tabloid reviewer.

"and in a change of pace, it was the Spanish-inspired Fiesta which brought the show to a rather pleasing crescendo."

Well, maybe a change from the 20th Century, but pretty sure for all 14 years of the 21st Century they have closed with Fiesta!

The Torygraph seems to have enjoyed Brixton. Though the writer says a few strange things. And if he thought the audience was only "mouthing the words" of FoNY, he must've gone a bit deaf by the end of the gig.

To be fair, there were chants of both. Shane chant from all over early on, later the Philip chant started kind of mid section, half way back. Nice acknowledgement of this from Spider. Spider, James and Terry seemed to be enjoying themselves enormously throughout. I think Jem smiled once or twice too. :wink:


Funny old world. Glasgow tonight and what were the crowd chanting? "One Shane MacGowan......."


Thinking about it, I think there was a one Shane MacGowan chant at the Mcr Apollo 2001 reunion. I will have to check on the bootleg.

I hope you are enjoying your jaunt and that the xmas shopping was all done before you embarked! :wink:

"The band was great, the singer was drunk, and tears were shed for the famine."

It's the same every year though, isn't it? No matter how good the band are and how spot on Shane is you still get the same lazy churnalism spouting the same tired clichés. I wouldn't be surprised if they write them up before the gig or without even going. The amount of errors you see in references to the set lists would suggest that's not far from the truth!

Now i wasn't there, but i have noted in the past how Shane, even at his worst (like Portland a few years ago back, or Toronto with the Popes in 1995) is still lovely on the ballads, no matter how much he tanks the rest of the show.


Funny that, send a sports reporter to a gig and he doesn't know what he's on about. :roll:
