Newcastle - 12 Dec 2007

[pogues24]

I hoping to see them in March of '08 in DC. Love that they started changing the setlist. I would love to here Transmetropolitan, The Dark Streets of London, and Summer In Siam. However, no Young Ned of the Hill, not liking that, that was one of the stand out tracks when I saw them in Atlantic City on March 11, 2006.

Unlike most years it was interesting to note that Shane was onstage nearly the whole show. I only saw him leave once while the band were playing instead of every few numbers. He definately seemed up for it and he did not smoke suring the whole set that I noticed,

Cracking gig although my body is suffering today! Pretty wild down at the front but what do you expect at the Pogues?
Been watching them live since 1987 and that was one of the best I've seen - as other people have said Shane was well up for it and on form.
Great changes to the setlist and to be honest I didn't miss any of the songs not played - it's not as if the replacement songs aren't up to it!!
My only regret is not buying tickets for the other venues, really wish I was going to a few of the others but to those that are going, enjoy it!

After watching those couple of Youtube clips i think its safe to say we are watching a band on top of their game.

Outstanding.
