Have anyone else noticed a glitch in the sound on the live disc?
It's on Streams of Whiskey ,1min 30 sec, when Shane sings "Oh the words that he spoke"
Anyway it's a great album and it will be on in my car for a long time!

On close inspection, it's not actually a glitch - it's Terry Woods's fingers swooping up to the note.

Sorry, my fault.
I really love the live disc, it's been on for the last few hours.

Cheers

They are running some tv-ads here in Norway too now, maybe it will enter the Norwegian charts. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

It entered the charts today at number 33. (march 29th)

When will this be available in the US?

I'd gladly give up getting to see shitty films 6 months before you guys do in exchange for little gobs of UK gold like this.

Despite the band's plea not to, I did buy the Streams of Whiskey album. That only makes me want this one more. Just hearing 'Young Ned' live makes the CD.

Streams of Whiskey is crap compared to this live disc. :twisted:

What was up with the vocals on 'Young Ned' on the 'Streams Of Whiskey' Album, did someone turn Terry's mike down? I could only hear Phil's backing vocals on that song.

Simon, that concert was mixed "live" for radio as we played. It is a mess and was never intended for release, as I have said here before. We are unable to accept any responsibility for it. "Live At Brixton" was released partly to reduce the demand for the travesty of our work that is "Streams Of Whiskey"

I would have got the album anyway, I actually don't think the album completely stinks, I was just wondering what was wrong with Terry's mike.

hate to quote old stuff, but I'm new here.

Regarding such...have you been talking to my philosphy professor?

as a side. A head that resembles one found on a human being, could still be called a human being. However, "a head" is not a necessary condition of being a human being. The same could be said of a body without a head.

Anyway. The whole post-shane pogues will indeed come up time and time again, as it did during the post-shane era.

My feeling was that the two albums, Waiting for Herb and Pogue Mahone were/are indeed gems in their own right. I like them both very much. Infact, I like them more than Hell's Ditch, and much of Peace & Love which are still very good albums.

My argument then was that they should not have retained the name "The Pogues". Not because "Shane was the Pogues" on his own, but because it was such a drastic change that to me, they no longer sounded like "The Pogues" as an entity. I believe they understood this by naming the following album "Pogue Mahone" so that people knew infact that they were still the Pogues.

It was only a couple years after discovering the Pogues that Waiting For Herb was released here. I really hadn't had the time to differentiate between with-Shane Pogues and post-Shane Pogues. For some time, Waiting for Herb was a very popular disc with me. The b-sides however from the singles for Waiting For Herb are as good as and even better than some of the best earlier album tracks. Their gems, alongside Streams of Whiskey, IISFFGWG, London Girl etc.

But anyway, yeah, Shane was not "The Pogues" all on his own, but "The Pogues" without Shane, AT THE TIME was a bit of a misconception.

"My argument then was that they should not have retained the name "The Pogues".

Right or wrong it would have been out of the question to drop the name 'the Pogues.' Starting over with a new name would have plummeted record sales of Herb / massive pay cuts to all band members / huge press offensive to get the new name in the public's consciousness / ... the record company would have never have allowed it.

Remember accountants run rocknroll!!!


... Also, it would have suggested that Shane WAs the Pogues if without him, they were'nt no?
