i never heard that james macnally singing thousands are sailing. exist any bootleg of this gig?

The last POGUES GIG was at the venue above THE BOSTON ARMS ,Tufnell Park,on 28 july 1996,not the most fitting way to see off a great band.A contrast to the sell out venues at Brixton,thats life i suppose. :)

The BOSTON ARMS August 1996 was the last POGUES gig,then it was 5 years of sheer misery before December 2001..... 8)

[quote="Gurney Slade"]A Belgian friend of mine told me about a tape he has of THE POGUES at the 1993 Dranouter Folk Festival,where a makeshift Pogues played ,what they themselves described as a collectors item of a gig.He promised me ages ago that he would send me a tape,i am still waiting Kas!I was there myself ,it was memorable for various reasons,no lead vocalist,though DARRYL,TERRY,JEM AND ANDREW all played a blinder.Much of their set consisted of instrumentals ,but despite the problems the huge audience loved it!Does anyone else have memories of this?[/quote]

The very last Pogues show and a surprisingly good one. The band finally called it a day after this gig.

[quote="Big Kris"]I have a tape fron November 1989 of THE POGUES live at the Sporthalle KOLN.Very good quality recording,was this originally broadcast on German Radio?The highlight of this show,which i was present,was the version of THE VELVET UNDERGROUNDS White Light,as well as some very amusing banter between Shane and Spider,as anyone else got a copy of this? 8)[/quote]

I have a whole mess o' boots, but i've not got this one! Sounds great. Interestingly, i DO have a recording of the Pogues with Joe Strummer at the same venue, same month, 1991. Sound is crap tho.
