Studio version of Rocky Road to Dublin

[Phil]

I know The Pogues did this song live in their early sets and attempted a studio version but now I am wondering if it was ever in fact completed and may turn up on the box set. That would be amazing. Anyone ever heard Shane sing this song? I never thought anyone could come close to the way Luke Kelly sang this song until I heard Shane sing it.

Rocky Road ... is listed as part of the Medley on If I Should Fall ...; although in only a brief form -- Almost more of a quote, used to bridge the Recruiting Sargeant and Galway Races sections.

(In a similar manner, I saw the Chieftains perform Rocky Road ... in concert this summer, and they included a brief quote of The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction )

I couldn't tell you if the Pogues attempted a full studio performance of it during the sessions; but someone else on the forum might be able to answer that yet ...

That's because they recorded it with them

It was recorded as a demo for the Red Roses For me album.
