The best start to a Pogues gig I ever saw was like this - but they began with Battle March Medley. The B-side instrumental, all of them wandering out, slowly joining in and at last MacGowan appears, the song hits its climax and he screams into the mike.
stunning!

In my opinion Worms is a bloody terrible song. :(

hmmm, that could mean that it's been scratched -- the band is tired of playing it?... or that it has been a staple from the beginning and now can be timely celebrated as historic reality :?

I would also like to have new songs in the set list.

Sayonara, Dark Streets Of London, Sea Shanty, Transmetropolitan or even Rakes At The Gates Of Hell...

But I'll ask for only one... please play NW3!! :)

Don't know which song to remove though!

don't remember where but elsewhere in this forum I think I read they were reworking the set lists for this year. Maybe major changes are expecting too much, but who knows... maybe you will hear what you need. I'm going to be happy with anything because I have only heard cds and dvds.

I'd really love Waxie's Dargle.....complete withnSpider and the beer tray :lol:
(Does he even do the tray anymore? I want to see it!)

Also, I think that Birmingham Six/Streets of Sorrow would be a good statement, if not apt, for the current Iraq and Guantanamo situation...."There were Six men in Brimingham, in Guilford there's four, they were picked up, and tortured, and framed by the law"
