Spider held the fort admirably up to then and, I must be honest, later in the show too. New Orleans is perhaps not the best place to get lost, but if anyone can get lost there, Shane MacGowan can. We are grateful to the Pogues fan who found him and brought him to the Festival site.
Philip, thank you for the confirmation that did indeed turn up at the festival . . . we were quite worried round here. If it had been in Dallas, I'd have been out driving the city looking for him myself!
And yeah, you're right about New Orleans -- definitely not a place to wander around lost.
