Boston - March 20th, 2009

Well, since we are talking fashion, where did Spider get that frock coat?

I was meaning to ask him that all tour and never got round to it. Tour fashion talk tended to centre around Shane's new fur coat, purchased in New York's Lower East Side, and Louise's (Mrs Spider) pretty cool military crash helmet, not to mention Jem's two new suits, one shiny burgundy, the other shiny blue, purchased in a North London Turkish Wedding shop.

Lullaby of London--it was wonderful to hear it as it's one of my favorites--and the band played it so well and seemed to like it very much, too.

I got a set list from Friday night--here it is:
Streams, Falls, BMS, Turkish, Brown Eyes, Repeal, Cotton Fields, Greenland, Sayonara, Tuesday, Kitty, Sunnyside, Boys, Body, Lullaby, Thousands, Dirty Old Town, Bottle, Sickbed -- Sally, Rainy Night, Dog -- Poor Paddy, Fiesta

Hope these two weren't Medusans!!

Reported in the Boston Herald Police Blotter-

"Knocking into patrons and spilling their beer at an Irish get-together should be a crime.

But calling cops “Nazis” and refusing to leave Friday night’s concert by acclaimed Irish band The Pogues at the House of Blues on Lansdowne Street landed two out-of-staters in cuffs, police report.

Ben Yelle, 34, of New Hampshire and Kyle Denny, 36, of Connecticut were both charged with disorderly conduct."

Can't blame them for not wanting to leave!
