There exists a set of multitrack tapes of a Pogues/Strummer gig in London in December 1991 which, one of these days, I will get around to mixing. Meanwhile, three of the tracks, previously used on b sides, are available on a Pogues box set called
Just Look Them Straight In The Eye and Say Pogue Mahone! along with two mixes of "Afro-Cuban BeBop". We never did any radio broadcasts and as far as I know, all existing bootlegs, like the National Stadium, Dublin, are audience recordings, but there are Medusans better qualified in this department than myself who may be able to give you a definitive answer.
Hey Mr. Chevron - any word on this? Are the tapes usable? Not trying to be a gimme gimme fanboy about this, but I'm wondering if it's releasable. This year would be the year to do it, I'd think, since it's the 10th anniversary of Joe's death and there's talks of a book and solo boxset in the works, and it'd fit in nicely with the marketing blitz.
Ah yes, the tapes are more than usable, but I can locate no great enthusiasm for the project among my colleagues and we do, after all, have our own live album/DVD to record this year. Pogues tend to steer clear of marketing blitzes but I'd like to see the Pogues/Strummer live album available someday.
Listened to an audience recording of the gig with Joe at Cambridge Corn Exchange Nov 91 (one I was at, actually) in the car today. Man, I would
love to hear a soundboard recording of 'Straight To Hell' from that tour - you did an awesome version of it with Joe.
