This woulda been a fun show... any clue when it actually happened Mr. C?

23-May-88
Limburg, The Netherlands
52 min.
with The Dubliners

The Dubliners: Dubliners Fancy / Finnegan`s Wake / Whiskey in the Jar / Molly Malone / Weile Waila

The Pogues: The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn / Streams Of Whiskey / The Body Of An American / South Australia (Terry vocals) / A Pair Of Brown Eyes / Darks Streets Of London / Metropolis / Dirty Old Town / Sally Maclennane / Waxies Dargle / Irish Rover (with The Dubliners)

Looks like something is wrong here - this show has the same date as the Pinkpop Festival show (above). However, Landgraaf is part of the Dutch province of Limburg, so it is feasible that they played both sets on the same day. If anyone can clarify the position, please let me know. N.B. This show is usually incorrectly titled "Limburg, Germany"

Don't worry, that's not one i have a copy of! Not yet, anyway.

But in general, if you are interested in unofficial live music recordings, there are lots of on line bit torrent sites dedicated to this sharing. There is a site called "dimeadozen" i would highly recommend, it's where the bulk of my Pogues stuff has come from.

[RICHB]

Is this the one where Shane fall asleep half way through the set???

[Lade]

After checking the inbetween songs background audience chatter and that the Dubliners thanks U2 for allowing them and The Pogues to be support act on this gig and checking all possible online sources.
I believe this show to be from 27th June 1987 at Croke Park, Dublin.
Both bands supported U2 on this gig and as far as I can tell this was the only gig on that tour both bands supported U2.

This woulda been a fun show... any clue when it actually happened Mr. C?
