The gig on the Thursday was kind of billed as the one to be at - you know tickets not being released for sale and all that - but Dublin Olympia on the Wednesday night was where it was at
This small venue is great - I remember almost nothing of last year here so it was great to take it all in. The mood was brilliant and everyone was singing or drunk but in many cases both. I lost my balance in the pit a fair few times.
The music and song was (as has already been noted) unbelievable. And I think at the end of the gig there was possibly a little high within the band as some of them stayed on stage a little longer after the end of Fiesta and the lights had gone up - was it Spider and Darryl doing a little shoe shuffling together ?
The next night I knew I had had a tough time cos when I put myself in position to do it all over again and the elbows and arms etc came slamming in there was'nt a part of me that wasnt beaten and bruised.
Wednesday was awesome, Thursday much less so - but taking this into account:
"The worst Pogues gig is the one you missed. Because there's nothing worse than missing the Pogues " Firehazard Sept 2010.
See you in Manchester on Friday
