It has been almost 20 years since I saw the band in France
The sound, energy of the band was just amazing My wife just told me she did not remember seeing me dancing and singing all the lyrics at a concert sine a long time...

I Wanna Thank The Pogues

Post Sun Mar 19, 2006 6:16 am

I was there at the St. Patrick's Day show and it was really awesome! I just wanna thank the band for doing these concerts in America cause without this American tour i don't think i could've ever seen the Pogues.

Thanks again!

I would like to second that comment. Mr Chevron, I know you check the boards so hope you see this...... I was at the Nokia, March 17th. Like someone else on another thread had pointed out the atmosphere at the show was pretty much one of pure euphoria. Never have I seen so many happy people all at one time. THANKYOU! Words are hard to come by to express just how wonderful that night was. Here's hoping we can experience it again in the not too distant future. :lol:

Philip I want to than you and all the Pogues for putting on a spectacular show in Boston on March 14th. The Orpheum was as packed as I have ever seen it and the crowd and band were truly one. I have gone to too many other big name act shows in the past where it seemed like they were seperate from the crowd somehow. This was not the case with The Pogues. I have often heard of Who shows from the late 60's early 70's as being experiences where the audience and band were joined as one in a magical moment.....well I felt this was achieved with that Pogues show. Speaking of The Who, was your incredible rhythm guitar style influenced at all by Pete Townshend? Anyway, even if The Pogues don't tour again I want to thank you so much for doing this. You made a lot of people very happy as those songs live inside so many.

Thanks Drummer, it was a blast. All rock guitarists are influenced by Uncle Pete, even if only in the broken nose department. 8)

I second that emotion. What a debt of gratitude we - as fans - feel towards the band. I've got to imagine that those feelings are conveyed to you all on the stage.

Yes, having a big nose makes for the better rocker! Most underrated nose in rock: John Lennon.

I liked that electric guitar you were using for part of the set. It looked like a Gibson ES-335. Well, I hope you all have a nice rest in the next month. A job beyond well done!!! Fuckin' brilliant as they say.

It's a Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, the guitar that thinks it's a 335 but will always be downer and dirtier.

No rest for the wicked - I've got a Radiators album to finish in Co Westmeath, Ireland.

Any guitar that is dirty sounding is ok in my opinion.

Do you think The Radiators will go into the studio and slam the tunes out on tape garage rock style or do you plan to get a bit more George Martin with the production? I suppose both methods are good.

We work fast on the backing tracks and aim for 100% live-in-the-studio performances. The overdubs and vocals, by contrast, we take time over.

Excellent. Well, have fun with the recording and I am sure that it will be a very exciting and creative experience. I'll be looking forward to when the CD is released.
