How was Tuesday Night, 3rd night, at the Fillmore?
Unfotunately, I had to eat my ticket and stay home because my 6 month old has a very bad cold. And, I'm pretty knackered from the first two nights.
Hopefully, I can summon up the energy and make it across the Bay Bridge for tonight's show.
It's hard to do 4 nights in a row as a fan, almost in his 40s, with a job, and with an infant at home....
I can't imagine what it must be like for the band... who are traveling from one hotel and venue to another and who are all slightly older.
POGUES- Thanks so much for another fabulous run of shows!!! And thanks for staying behind to say hi to me and the wife again. We caught all 4 Nokias a couple of years back, all 4 last year Fillmores, and Chicago last Spring. (among countless others dating WAY back). With the exception of Phil's absence (and "White City"), and some technical glitches, Fillmore #1 was one of the best of the lot.
I hope to see you all tonight.
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
