[Corey MacLennane]

Go get 'em boys. Good luck and hope it all works out for everyone.

thanks Philip! This is great news! See ya tonight!

[ziggy]

Sorry, but I'll believe it's on for tonight when I see it.
It's far more likely that I'll be making the trip for nothing.
Shame, errrr, Shane, has done this so many times before...

[Fan]

For those of us who don't have tickets from Artist Arena, will last night's tickets be honored tonight or will we have to exchange tickets?

[The Lone Pogue]

fan, you have tll 230 to call them HURRY! the phone # is posted on an earlier page on this thread.

[Queen Maeve]

for the news, Philip -- can't wait to see you fellas this evening.
Shane, you're the man.

Let the record show that Philip posted at 1:56 pm eastern time.
Looking forward to a wonderful show tomorrow night.
Thank you for everything, Mr. C.

I tore knee ligaments years ago playing football. It is the most painful thing I could ever imagine. The fact Shane is willing to try to go on speaks volumes. Class.

Did you have analgesic control?

If by analgesic control you mean a mix of Jack Daniels and Perkacet, than yes.

If thats what analgesic control means then I think Shane has had it since 1979.

Shane MacGowan suffered severe damage to ligaments to one of his knees when he fell on stage at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston on March 11, which caused the late cancellation of last night's opening New York show by The Pogues at Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. Shane is under constant medical supervision and analgesic control, but The Pogues, including MacGowan, will appear at tonight's (March 15) show as scheduled. As long as Shane gets through the show without complications, the remaining two shows on the tour, at the Electric Factory, Philadephia (March 16) and Roseland, New York (March 17) will also take place.

The Pogues would like to take this opportunity to wish their fans, friends and supporters all over the world a very Happy St Patrick's Day.

Please contact your ticket agent directly if you need a refund or a ticket exchange for last night's show.

Thanks to Shane and Pogues for carrying on and Phillip for his respect and courtesy to us fans! See you all tonight!!!!
