Just having a look through the old medusa forum out of boredom. Doesnt seem to be a lot happening on here these days. Came accross this post though. The trip to New York in 2011 was one of my lifetime highlights (from Liverpool to New York). How generous Mr Cheveron was for arranging tickets and backstage passed for us as well (I cheekly asked and he replied saying 'In this life if you dont ask you dont get'. He offered me the pick of the nights and although I would have prefered St Patricks Night as my partner isnt a huge fan (I know go figure) I decided on the night we arrived so we wouldnt be arranging our trip around a gig that I wanted to go to. We flew into New York about lunch time after no sleep for two days and hit our hotel about two. My partner retired for a few hours sleep but I was too wired and wandered around various boozers like some sort of Scouse Crocodile Dundee "Alright I'm Richard I'm in New York for a couple of days. Boss in here isnt it?" Which mostly resulted in people politely smilling and grunting then turning around and carrying on their conversations. Eventually got back and woke my partner up and we headed of to Hells Kitchen (think thats where the venue is isnt it?) and the tickets and VIP bands were awaiting us. The VIP area wasnt anything special but there were stools to sit on and tables to put your drinks on which for an all standing venue was pretty cool. It took me two trips to the bar for me to remember to tip the barman so gave him ten bucks the second time which he tried to give me back saying it was unnecessary. On the third occaison he gave me our drinks for free. The concernt was fantastic and seem to recall meeting New Jersey Rich and a lovely guy from Wales. My parter fell asleep on the table during the end and we missed the last song as we were absolutely nackered and wanted to be on my toes in a strange city. The Pogues were brilliant that night. For some reason I remember looking forward to the support but he came accross as a complete asshole (cant even remember who it was now). I still use the saying 'If its not on the list it dont exist' even now as does my partner from time to time (so it cant have be completey wasted on her). Great times and a great city.

How strange? I suddenly had a thought on lunch I wonder if anyone ever responded back and said hi from Wales and there you are. That is by far the strangest thing that has happened to me!!!! Well this week anyway. What a fantastic City

Well just got back from New York about five hours ago and had an absolute ball. What a fantastic night we had on Tuesday and would like to give a big thanks to Phil for everything. You really made the trip even more special than it already was. We were moved hotel from Hotel 3030 to the Milford Plaza. Slightly dodgy hotel but it was clean and we were hardly in it to be honest. The gig goes down as one of the best ive seen however unfortunatley we had to miss the last two songs as we had been awake for 35 hours and my partner was falling asleep at our table. The band was excellent and although I felt that some of the crowd were expecting Shane to be a mess he blew everyone away with a performance, that with the exception of a couple of one offs, normally puts in.

Thanks everyone! Posted a review as well:

Hopefully didn't forget anything or messed anything up :)

What lens were you using?


I used the 70-200mm f2.8 for first two songs, and then the 50mm f1.4 for the last song. ISO was cranked up to 3200. [/end camera speak]

She's always fun to be around. As for the nice things to say, she was probably drunk.
