Wow, The Pogues really delivered in Amsterdam. Shane was in great, relative, shape, Also ++ for James (sliding with accordion..) and Spider. Great atmosphere, at the end, half the venue floor was turned into a steaming, but friendly mosh pit.

Very positive review in major Dutch paper (4 out of 5 stars)
Some nice photo's on Flicker

I am glad I did not miss this one.

Shane is looking a lot more together and trim and fit than when I saw him in Colorado in October by the look of those pictures.
But I still think he looks like an old lesbian, God love 'im.

Great gig! but then i would say that woodeneye?

it being your 200th Pogues gig, at least it would be a well informed opinion, woodentit??

After 200 gigs, i'm suprised it's only your eye that's now wooden. Can get a bit crazy in the there.

A summer evening drunk to hell... Exciting concert and great to meet other Pogues fans from Amsterdam and England in Dan Murphey's bar! I didn't know about this forum but now I'm enjoying my evenings by reading all of your crazy stories.

Raymond, thanks for your pics.

Fucking mental!!!!

hi,I'm not very good at computerthings, but here I go,I had a great time at the concert, it gives you such a boost, seeing a concert of the pogues, singing the song and dancing! It give''s you a kind of rush, back at my normal life, I seem to be on another level than people around, smiling and wave at anybody, sitting on my cloud in the sky, nothing could bother me, and special thanks to joey, who was so nice, getting me a autograph of shane .cheers

For what it's worth:

Two Dutch acknowledged music journalists of the magazine OOR (biggest music magazine in the Netherlands) have put the Pogues gig in The Melkweg in their top 3 of last year gig's....
