Hope these two weren't Medusans!!

Reported in the Boston Herald Police Blotter-

"Knocking into patrons and spilling their beer at an Irish get-together should be a crime.

But calling cops “Nazis” and refusing to leave Friday night’s concert by acclaimed Irish band The Pogues at the House of Blues on Lansdowne Street landed two out-of-staters in cuffs, police report.

Ben Yelle, 34, of New Hampshire and Kyle Denny, 36, of Connecticut were both charged with disorderly conduct."

Can't blame them for not wanting to leave!

Lullaby of London--it was wonderful to hear it as it's one of my favorites--and the band played it so well and seemed to like it very much, too.

Well, since we are talking fashion, where did Spider get that frock coat?


I was meaning to ask him that all tour and never got round to it. Tour fashion talk tended to centre around Shane's new fur coat, purchased in New York's Lower East Side, and Louise's (Mrs Spider) pretty cool military crash helmet, not to mention Jem's two new suits, one shiny burgundy, the other shiny blue, purchased in a North London Turkish Wedding shop.

In fact, they're just regular-rooster correspondent Brogues - black and white - but I'm pleased they have met Medusans' high standards.

Fantastic show as usual by the way.

Amazing show from the beginning. The acoustics were surprisingly good. The instrumental and vocal harmonies were wonderfully discernible, but none were too overbearing--beautifully balanced. The set list was as close to perfect as it could be, though I will always miss "Young Ned." Never heard "Rainy Night in Soho" with the touches Terry Woods added. Almost spellbinding.

Other high points but there are too many to list. In no real order at all----

Philip sounding and looking fantastic,and, of course, in a suit to kill--with back-up sartorial splendor of Spider in black and Jem in sparkling purple

Terry's fingers blurring as they sped impossibly fast across the frets

"Thousands Are Sailing"---tight, loud, and, as always, touching

The tightness of the band coupled with their good moods and their obvious enjoyment of the night.

Kitty

Geezum, don't know why I tried to summarize it; it was too good.

Dunno when I've heard them play so well or sound so good.

I absolutely loved not seeing cell phones in the air all night. I was shocked to not see people absorbed by recording the show. Nice bunch up in the front, a bit more mellow than most perhaps. Shane's singing was spot on. The guitar and drums were on point, Spider providing excellent back ups, and the rest of the band superb. That's alot of compliments in one post. Anyone with a set list? They did a song from Peace and Love I think, that I was not expecting..the memory is a bit thin, but want to remember what it was. that's right Cotton Fields...


More mellow than most? I got punched in the eye, kneed in head and the shirt ripped right off my back during the first song




I only said perhaps....Sounds like you had a fantastic night!

Corey, you're dead on with Cotton Fields. It sounded as clean as the recorded version. What a wonderful evening. Looking forward to meeting some of the band members this evening. Thanks again, Boys!!!
