Got back late and worked the next day so a bit late, but my review of Cologne is now up and running:

To all Pogues: I hope you can play at the new Kunst!Rasen Bonn before too long. The Rhine view from the stage is a lot better in Bonn - and I'm not just saying that because its just round the corner from me ;-)

Thanks to Shane for the autograph, James for the chat, and the Tanzbrunnen Security for a 'fun' game of "Your Guestpass isn't a photopass at the photopit and your photopass isn't a Guest pass everywhere else".

Seriously though - thanks for a great evening everybody!

I see an audience recording of this has already popped up on dimeadozen.org, and the taper/uploader commented:

[i]..and as these "Trunkenbolde" are all getting older over the years they had to play very very early to get
very very early to bed, so the concert started at 7.20 p.m... [/i]

[quote="in_the_morning"]The location wasn't that great but the show was really nice! As far as I can recall it, the sound wasn't nearly as bad as some people have stated here. Yes, it could have been louder, but that was alright. Only bad thing to say is that the show was by far too short, but the band was in fine shape and Shane looked like
he had some fun! Great concert![/quote]
