Hair + Heating Oil == Not Compatible.

I'll e-mail you a screenshot of what comes up for the error.

Thanks!

I'll have to choose that wide picture of the band on the last page. Fantastic shot D.

My husband made me come all the way from El Paso, Texas to see this band. I wasn't a fan before but I love the Pogues now. I wish I were Irish! The show was amazing! The band is tight, Shane's singing was great that night and the accordian player's joy in playing was infectious! We have to drive to Tempe on the 21st to catch them again!

Yea I've seen that official copyright tag so you know he's the real deal.

I'm afraid we don't come with guarantees to win every game, even at $50 a shot. I've noticed something though: when we're less than awesome, the crowd seems to make up the difference, as though it is determined not to be shortchanged. I don't think I've ever seen that symbiosis between artist and audience before.

Reading this before the LA show demonstrated just how prophetic PC can be. As a Chicago Cubs fan, I can appreciate the analogy. I think the concert was a win, but it may not have been a pretty one.

Great pics Dzm, as usual. Nice walk down memory lane. I've only seen them since they started coming west coast again in the last few years, and it's been great. this is the first time my wife came, usually I'm solo. She's never been a huge fan like me, but now she can't turn them off. Especially Spider songs. It was my favorite time seeing them.

Hello everyone here. This is my first post in this forum. When I went to this show,I had never seen them before. I thought it was amazing! I was really bummed when I had to leave because of BART closing. I have one question. When Shane Mcgowan came on stage, he looked like he was helped up. I didn't know how old he was until I looked. I was shocked to see he was only 50! Is he so bad off because of alcohol? Or was he already drunk when he started or what?

Most likley all of the above.

I have NEVER been disappointed in a Pogues show. I don't care if Shane forgets lyrics; because we are all singing along anyway. The rest of the band are always on (unlike, say, the Grateful Dead) and simply run with whatever happens, Shane-driven, audience inspired, or both. The best moments of the show for me were "Bottle of Smoke", "Rainy Night in Soho" and "Irish Rover". Well, that and the two women dancing near/with/around me, who kept pulling their tops up towards the end of the show, for no obvious reason. (grin)
