Anyone seen this clip? Probably the most tragic video I've ever seen of Shane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr57-00N374 I don't know when it's from - mid-90s I guess. For those of you who saw him perform in those days, was he often in as bad shape as this? I remember Shane was touring with the pop...

Thanks! Very interesting. And the mind boggles at what could have been...

This is a question I hope Mr Chevron could answer. I remember back in the days when the rumors about the Pogues third album were starting to circulate that there was talk about Tom Waits producing it. Was this ever on the verge of becoming reality or was it just a nice rumor? I wonder what Fairytale...

Thanks for the info. Will you be adding this (or any other tracks from the box set) to your live setlist?

Thanks Iain and Philip for all the info on NW 3.

And the 87 version really sounds spectacular!

One more question, did Shane actually work with meals on wheels?
I guess it wouldn't have been in 1963. Or maybe he was a very mature six year old.

Question for Mr Chevron,

The liner notes say:

NW3
(1987, previously unreleased) (d)
[S. MacGowan]
Produced by The Pogues

I thought the only recorded version of NW3 was made for the Falconer demos in 1990. Is this an earlier attempt?
