USA East Coast 2010 ???

[Bian]

I don't think anyone takes you guys for granted but the anticipation over whether there will be East Coast dates in March is intense, at least for the devoted few. No shows in March would be soul crushing.

Truth.
I've been checking this thread everyday for news!
The Roseland shows have been a major highpoint for me, the past few years. I've always had the best times.

I think y'all should prepare yourselves for the possibility that just because we have played the East Coast several years in a row now, we may not necessarily feel like doing it every year. Japan in October has not become a fixture though we did it twice, and indeed, after we reformed for the UK/Ireland in December 2001, we missed out Christmas 2002 and 2003.

We wouldn't want to be taken for granted!

So Butte for St. Patty's day it is! I'll start camping in front of a likely ticket vendor right now.




































Brrrr.

Dear Mr Chevron...not one soul here could be accused of taking you guys for granted any more than a puppy could be so accused for waiting at the door with tail wagging hoping against hope that his friend will want to take him for a walk...

We love to hear you play is all...

WOW... That would SUCK!

[Jimmy Jazz]

I would have to figure that the March East Coast dates can't go on forever. Always hopeful but figure one of the years it probably won't happen.

Phillip Chevron thank you for your honesty but, no one in Philly will ever take you guys for granted exspecially after being skipped last year. I understand if there is no east coast tour but, doenst mean will still can't have hope. We are dying to see you guys again.

Well considering I only saw the original lineup twice in its heyday (plus twice more with Joe Strummer subbing for Mr. Chevron and later Shane), I definitely didn't take for granted the night in 2006 when I finally got to see the Pogues again-plus the next three years. Please consider us now middle aged old fogies with kids (insert heart tugging violin music here). With my limited prenup I only get out of the house now to see my friends for the annual SuperBowl party and ( and I quote) "as long as Shane is alive and the Pogues play in Boston, I am going". I hope things work out.

Say it isn't so! I'd rather be left lumps of coal in my stocking than miss the Pogues at Roseland!

But they aren't Irish in Japan (not their fault) - we're all here in NYC... waiting and hoping...

Agreed with the others- been checking this page every day for weeks looking for East coast info. And I may be mistaken, but don't the East coast shows all sell out? Perhaps if the band is bored with the venues, you could try new venues rather than scrapping the entire coast. In the words of Dave Loggins, "please come to Boston for the springtime".....

youre such a tease. I have been expecting you all to stay closer to home one of these years. we've become spoiled. the pogues in London, Dublin. a little more planning and expense, but no doubt worth it.

ahh, sometimes the anticipation is better than the actual event. this is NOT one of those times.

Sometimes we just feel like taking some time off. Our mistake from 1985 to 1994 was not doing it more often. You guys only see us once or twice a year (unless you're a Swede or Miss Walshy), we have to encounter The Pogues night after night for weeks on end. I always say that beats the hell out of double-maths (my favourite school period for daydreaming about a time when I wouldn't have to pretend to care about double maths anymore) but it's still a friendship that benefits from the occasional absence.

This is starting to sound less like, "don't bet your life on it," and more like, "not bloody likely."

In your honest opinion, Mr. C, should we start looking into acquiring Dropkick tickets, now?

The Pogues night after night for weeks on end sounds good to me...but wouldn't a couple of months away from each other be enough?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up prozac!
