Philip, thank you for the information and Corey thank you for your investigation.

Philip, when Shane made the dedication to Ronnie Drew, did I hear Spider say that he was recovering or doing better? I certainly hope that is the case.

Also, I just picked up that Attwenger album on itunes so again, many, many thanks.

(It is called "Sun")

Yes, three posts in a row for me, but for those who hope to see Paul Hewson, err, Bono at the show tonight here is some pertinent information. I do find this rather funny.

This is not a rebel song.

This is totally off-topic, but since many people are in Beantown from elsewhere and possibly looking for something to do, I thought I'd post that there is a play that seems interesting at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway in Davis Square.

It's a one-man play based on "Confessions of an Irish Rebel," the book by Brendan Behan.

A link to the theatre: http://www.jtoffbroadway.com/ There is a matinee today at 3:00, it looks like.

I haven't seen the play, though the reviews seem promising. I have seen another production there (A Night in November) which was pretty good. I like the venue itself--a small, underground (literally) place.

Back to the topic at hand...see youse lads later at the Orpheum!

Ronnie is on a slow recovery but it does appear, at least, to be a recovery.

I agree that this was the better of the 2 I've seen this year. Don't exactly know why but it was. Can't wait for the finale at the Orpheum tonight.

Quincy Dan, CoreyMac, SonofErin, DJevo: Are all of you guys sitting in the first few rows tonight? I'll be stage left, front row I believe. Black skull cap and red chuck norris t-shirt.
Can't wait.
JJ's on Kingston for the pre-game.

Philo, thanks to Corey Mac's efforts we are sitting in row JJ in the center orchestra. I think that makes it about the 7th or 8th row. I am big fella with sparse hair and probably in a black jacket. Corey may describe himself if he wishes. I'd rather he not punch me. But with me you never know, if Bono won't be around I could wear a gold jumpsuit!

(just kidding...I promise.)

And Philip, thanks for the news on Mr. Drew. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who wishes him a full recovery.

**Sun Mar 11, 2007 9:30 pm**

I heard at least two people in the crowd express that they were disappointed that Shane was so good last night.

Not me though. Very glad to have seen that one.

**Sun Mar 11, 2007 9:31 pm**

I got orch row N. I think it's a little farther back.

Hi:

My girlfriend and I went to Sat night's show. This was the best performance we have seen from the Pogues. They sounded great, the band keeps getting better every year. I am looking forward to the next time they are in Boston.

Happy St Paddy's Day,

Johnny Mc

I do think I saw you. I was in front more or less right in front of Jem. I was in an Armagh GAA jersey.
