My husband and I were talking about this on the train ride home. I wished the band played anyway, without Shane. He disagreed and thought the crowd would have been really pissed. I wish we could have been given the option...refund or option to stay and hear the rest of the band. I would have stayed...

I can only imagine what everyone would be bitching about if the band had decided to go on without him. I am sure that The Pogues felt this was the best way for everyone to assess the situation and figure everything out instead of putting on a less than perfect performance. If you travelled there to...

Yes, please make an announcement reguarding the remaining shows ASAP. I need to know if I should get in my truck and drive the 6+ hours to Philadelphia.

Please, please, please

Did I hear "Sunny Side of the Street" on a commercial for a Cadillac today? Or was I imagining this because I've just seen 3 Pogues shows in a row?

Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win, you're still retarded.

Yes. I second the thanks. It's been a great weekend. I missed Thursday's show in Boston, but made it to the next 3. Shane did appear hurt, he was walking with more of a limp than usual. It appeared that 3 nights in Boston had got the best of Shane, by my count he messed up in the majority of the son...

How 'bout one new track to promote the box set? Not that it needs much promotion since us Pogues fans seem to be as rabid as any. We'll pay $60+ for tickets to the show, road trip / fly across countries and oceans to see them, and most of us would probably drop up to $100 for a box set. I wonder wha...

Can we expect any surprises on this next tour? Song selection? Fake snow falling from the rafters? Fake snow?? The very idea! :shock: I got a chuckle out of it at the Orpheum in Boston last year, but then missed it when there wasn't any in Vegas a few months later. At least it wasn't there on the 2...

I've got 2 tickets to the NYC Show on St. Paddy's. Not sure if I'll be able to use them after all. I'll keep members of this board in mind once I know for sure.

So is it official that the Pogues are playing 2 nights at the Avalon?

So can we get a definitive word from someone in the know? I didn't manage to get tickets to the Avalon show, but I got 2 to the Orpheum, and 2 to the Phillie show- a good excuse to visit a friend. I am planning on getting in line early at the box office so I'm in front the minute they go on sale. I ...

On the website it says 10th at the Avalon, and 11th at the Orpheum. But on the presale website, it says 9th and 10th at the Avalon. Could there be a God? Might the Pogues be playing 2 dates at the Avalon. And to Phil- I'm going to pretend that the Avalon date was because I mentioned how much more fu...
