The Medusa Fora

Hi all.
I wonder of someone can help me out here.

I have a boot that is taken from japanese radio.
Tracklisting is:

Disc One
01-DJ 4:08
02-DJ 3:34
04-If I Should Fall From Grace 2:26
05-Boat Train 2:37
06-The Broad Majestic Shannon 2:53
07-Young Ned Of The Hill 5:07
09-DJ 2:22
10-Lullaby Of London 4:04
11-Cotton Fields 2:57
13-Gridlock 3:45
14-USA 5:17
16-A Rainy Night In Soho 5:30
17-Repeal Of The Licensing Law 2:07
18-Gartloney Rats 2:40
19-Dirty Old Town 3:45
20-White City 2:34
21-Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yea 5:43

Disc Two
22-DJ 2:17
23-Japan 4:51
24-The Star Of The County Down 3:01
25-Fiesta 6:17
26-Streams Of Whiskey 2:34
27-DJ 4:50


It claims to be from the Nakano sunplaza, Tokyo, 15th Feb,1990. But the set is all Peace and Love tour - 18 months earlier.
I know the band were in new Zealand in early Feb 90, so could have played this show in theory on theur way home, but I can find no documentary evidence to place it.
It seems more likely to be from the shows on 30-Oct-88 and 31-Oct-88 at
MZA Ariake, Tokyo.

Any ideas?

These dates & venue correct. I was there Sankei Hall, Osaka on 14th and Nakano Sunplaza, Tokyo on 15th Feb 1990(second Japan tour), Also first Japan tour on Oct 1988.
I have an old cassette(from FM radio then) incl same set-list above.
I have an old flyer and some of interview on Japanese magazines.

Many thanks, Yas san.

I was unsure as the Pogues live gigs website ( http://p.bruhat.free.fr/pogues/pog-live.html ) doesn't have any shows listed between New Zealand on Feb 2nd and New York on March 16th.
But it does say it is an incomplete list.

Strangely enough, there was a period in our career when it was not abnormal for us to do consecutive tours of OZ/NZ, Japan and the USA in a three month period, perhaps also popping back to Japan for a stray Womad or something that we may have missed on first sight. No wonder we went crazy. No wonder the unfortunate singer fell out the van. Or the train, or whatever it was. And now they want us to go to Hawaii!? [/i]

I have the Far From Home: Live In Japan, 1988 bootleg. However, it contains most of the material off of If I Should Fall From Grace With God, with only USA, Boat Train, and Honky Tonk Women being from the Peace and Love era. Funny enough, the DVD of this concert that I do have contains, The Body of an American and Japan, but the CD version of this show omits these two songs.

Mwhuhahaha rotflol!

Hi Philip.
I was very sorry to hear of your illness, but delighted to see you are up and at it.
I hope you are recovering ok.

I was married at Nakano Sun Plaza.. I don't think the Pogues were playing that day.. although my wedding song was Lonesome Highway.. much to the delight of my wife

yes, yes we do. us (me) bastard(s).

i really thought you all would like it here....it's half way to Japan...half way to CA...
sun...sand...clean air....relaxation...clean water....tropical flora...
and i only meant if it fit with your schedule......

Hawaii is like no where else that's for sure. anyway, no promoter is going to listen to little old me. but a girl can dream can't she?

must SUCK to be loved.

AND...the most wonderful gift of all:

anonymity.

no one bothers anyone here.
