An incredible show last night. Place was packed and the band was awesome. I would even say the "Singer was great, the band was great and tears were shed for the Famine".
Some highlights and observations from the Friday show. Shane sounded and did great. As always, the rest of the band was awesome, Tuesday Morning featured some great playing from Terry and Matilda really highlighted Jem on banjo. Mr. Chevron had the crowd dancing during Repeal. Thousands was a special moment for me as Mr. Chevron dedicated it to my ill mom. James Fearnley's knees continue to be a miracle of modern science-I have no idea how the hell he can kneecap himself and still walk. Having London Girl and Matilda in the set for the first time in decades made the set fresh. Even thought for a moment Shane and Spider were going to do an impromptu version of "Dirty Water"
I know Boston doesn't want the Pogues to go gracefully into the night. We want you back in 2012!!
