Dunno about Shane, James and Terry, but I'm not crazy about learning old-new Pogues songs from scratch. What would be the point?

Don´t want to argue, but...The point might be that Pogue Mahone contains some really good songs, that deserves to be heard live again...

Agreed and I thought that probably one of those that participated in "Pogue Mahone" might have a song from that album he would like to play live.

I've said it before, and so I'm saying it again. On their own, both Waiting for Herb and Pogue Mahone are excellent albums.
My only problem with Pogue Mahone, and it may be all of my CD players only, but it seems to be poorly mixed, cause it comes out very bassy, no matter how I adjust everything, I can't play it loud without it getting crackly as hell.
Though I wouldn't mind hearing some of those songs live, I can do without it. They might be better suited for playing live by the individual members who were around at that time.
I think however Waiting For Herb tracks are be more at home in a regular Pogues concert.
To the person who asked if they should buy the two last albums, I'd encourage it. I actually really liked Waiting For Herb. But when it came out, I had only been listening to the (IISFFGWG, P&L and HD) for a couple years. Hadn't found RRfM or RS&tL by that time locally. And honestly, I hadn't identified any specific members, and really at that time couldn't really discern that "Shane" was missing from the lineup. Musically, I think WfH is VERY "Pogues", lyrically, it's very good, but just a little different. The artwork too was still very "Pogues", not like Pogue Mahone. Though I like the album, the artwork, and the title put me off a little bit. to go and use "Pogue Mahone" was a little cheesy, and despirate. It would've suggested to some that it was just like the older albums, which would've been a dissapointment. But then, it may have been so, to remind people that it was The Pogues, if nothing else, than at least by name.
*shrug*.
But, like others have said so many times...with so many original members missing, maybe they should not have kept the Pogues name.
Because it seems even now, through Phil's comments, that it's not REALLY a Pogues album, and therefore does not lend itself to live performance.
