Has anyone read/heard about any other touring plans for the Pogues? I have to see them again, they were just too good to only see once. And if the West Coast shows sold out as qucikly as they did, surely they'd sell out just as quickly in the next go round.

Yes, I don't think the Pogues hurt their already-legendary reputation one little bit with these recent mini-tours. If anything they are MORE legendary now. But get in line - next time they come back to the States, it's the East Coast's turn again!

Hey, what about the Midwest? Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Nashville... to name a few.

Last year was brilliant. Cmon Mr. C we need another dose of madness.

I saw both shows in Vegas whihc were great! Shane was in fine form.

Does anyone know if they will make another swing through the U.S. in the future?? If so, they need to do a few nights i Chicago....home of a few Irishmen.

Thanks

Looking forward to seeing you, Swede.

I'm afraid I have to disapoint you Heather. I can't be there with you. It's to expensive for me. I'm a poor man you know. But if they'll come to Sweden 2007. I'll invite you to come over here and join us.

How's the weather? And the economy?

The weather is very good, even in christmas when we use to swim in the Surriento Gulf; the economy instead is not so funny but one day you'll year about us

the whether is not so good here in the North (where we damn freeze in the first months of the year, snow, wind ect)- but pasta will warm you up! (ops, maybe i should have said we sunbathe in january, sing and play the mandolino every day...).
p.s. we're experimenting a new kind of economy, it's called 'the scissors economy': rich get richer and richer, and poor porrer. they say it's the last trend here in the capitalistic land.

Yesterday, my mother asked me when the Pogues are coming to Belgium. Now that would be the first time I'd go to a concert with one of my parents. I love you mum!

My wife and I were lucky enough to score some tickets for the 10/9 Fillmore show--we flew down from Portland--I only wish that we could have caught a few more gigs--. :>


We met several other folks that drove down from Portland--and I'm sure that if the Pogues played in Portland--they would fill up a big venue. I know that Shane's gig with the Popes back in 1995 was well attended in PDX.


Phillip--any chance that you guys can come back for a longer tour of the US West Coast? Hopefully you guys were *happy* with all of the sellouts! I think that it should be an indicator of the amazing amount of love and support for Poguetry In Motion in the USA--you guys are the best of the best!


Thanks so much for a night to remember!


And please---come back soon....

Will there ever be a show on the East Coast? New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Anywhere in between?

Yes friend, there were several in March 2006. Will there be more? Patience.
