Thanks for making us welcome DC, you rocked. Now fuck off to bed.

Millions of people are going to wake up in Nigeria in a few hours thanking their lucky stars that Brown Eyes was in fact played. I was so happy. Just before it, as there was a brief quiet period, I yelled out "My name is MacRua and I don't give a fuck about your rules." I was just about dead center, about 8 people back from the stage. Shane said "Shut up!" And then belted out Brown Eyes. It was pure magic.

[Paul!]

Wow!! Just... wow! And the show even started (relatively) on time!! Absolutely outstanding!

Thanks to the band for an excellent show!

Can't wait for tomorrow night!

Well, a deal's a deal. Pogues Diplomacy is always honourable.

Thanks for letting us know that it rocked.

It's nearly nine in the morning round here, and I was eagerly waiting for the first reports to arrive.

So it's rather Fuck off to work for me.

Thanks for two seconds of great publicity

Why o why wasn't Brown Eyes back there in Dublin ?

[Seven Towers]

Just got back about an hour ago. Transcendent.!!! Otherworldly!!!! Blown away!!! Wasted by the muse!!! So many great moments. Shane's voice was in great form, and the band was amazing. Thanks Phil for leading our choir in such a wonderful song. Magic!! Before The Irish Rover, Shane scanned the crowd, and asked if George Bush was in the house. It was gas. Later, he called Spider his "little eight legged friend." Eric , I heard you yell at Shane, and his funny response. Nigerians rock!! On the way home, as my friend coasted along at 85 mph, on the Parkway, I just staired at the road like a zombie on smack...and I had not one drop of drink (Other than my trusty water bottle), nor any illegal substances, which, by the way, I have nothing against. The two hour drive seemed to take five mins. I had to drive ten minutes home from his house, and I didn't care if I wrecked the car. I knew I would feel nothing but bliss...tonight was a taste of heaven, and I can't wait to go back and receive the sacrament tomorow. This night will be burned on our souls forever. Good night, and Merry Christmas. How in the hell am I gonna sleep tonight???

This has summed up exactly how I feel after a Pogues gig.

Thanks for all your slants on the show!! Who could be dissappointed with such brilliance? It's ten to fucking five a.m. over here on the west coast and I'm off to work. And I ran to the computer as fast as my alarm went off. (Okay, I made a cup of coffee first). Well done boys from the county Hell!

[Paddy Rolling Clone]

Thanks for posting, looking forward to more reviews.

Ten to five? Work? Fuck that.

[harrigan]

I think you also for the playlist and I look forward to further remarks. Can't wait to check this computer every morning until I head to NYC on Thrusday!! I can not believe I am more pumped than I was before, will probably be a blubbering idiot until the 17th gets here.

[squeapler]

that was great---the on-time start was particularly cool because the club was sooooo full you could barely move or breathe!

loved fairytale!

and i'll be back tonight to see it all again!!
