Feck off willye! When The Pogues reunion is finally over you'll all be boasting about how you witnessed a gig by these legends. (AKA Leg Ends)!

Thanks for the show, and please tell me and all the others when next gig is up.
Cheers

Hey, thanks a lot! You guys (felt like 20 of you, how many were you?) really raised the temperature a lot. Thanks again, both Johan and the others who were there. A lot of the energy came from you. We announce most of our gigs on our MySpace page, so you can probably look there... and of course I can email you as well. I mean, having you in the audience is enough to make a gig great.

Agree with you on a few points there Andy. But, and there is a but:
Most of the audience at WOW didn't just pop in to WOW, to find out eventually that The Pogues were performing and joined in. Many travelled far and spent a lot money on tickets and travelling, just for The Pogues.
As far as I know, no one writing their opinion in this thread is spoilt children of any kind.
Of course we are very happy to have witnessed another gig by our favorite band and musicians. We enjoyed the party, meeting our friends, and the city. That doesn't mean it was a good gig, cause it wasn't. It was bad. That in turn doesn't mean we will not travel twice the distance next time to another gig. It's because we are fans and we care for the band and the guys we have followed for 25 years ( 22 for me). It's because we love the music and lyrics from this genuis man called Shane MacGowan.
We love our band, and we wish all the best for Shane and the others. Thats why we are conserned when a poor gig is performed. We doesn't blame any of them. We know they all did their best. We'd gladly "Feck off", but for another reason than you state myfriend.
There's probably lots of reasons why the gig turned out the way it did.
Shane's "wobbly" and very late arrival to the arena.
Technical problems
Stand-in guitarist (Philip was clearly missed in my opionion)
Only one short hour of playing.
The fact that the setlist was rearranged before and (as I understand) during the gig because of time restrictions by the festival staff.
All this also partly stated in an earlier post by Mr. James Fearnly.
It doesn't change anything how much we speculate. Reports say that things were back on tracks in Belgium. Hope for the same for the US tour.
And I wish to Christ, And I wish to Chist that it will be a christmas tour in the UK. Because we are going!
Cheers
Kroil
