Just left the Melbourne concert, and I need to say the stage lighting was awfull, we could not see the the singers face, and only four of the band members faces were visible. For some reason the lights are at the back of the band siloueting them. really bad and I would not pay for that experience again. Otherwise still fantastic music and S McGowan sings the songs great. Just a real pity about the lighting...

...yes...the lighting...

Went to the Pogues concert last night ( never thought in my life I would see them live again ) and the place was certainly rocking, 2 encores. Certainly are great performers and haven't lost their touch. Best concert I have been to.

Loved the show last night at festival hall. 22 years in the waiting worth waiting for.

That was a fucking brilliant show, my third and probably me last... Thankyou.. I cried last night, yeah, your thinking "wet Cunt!!" I cried because the music I grew up with and more or less defined those of us who had refused to go to the wake, was all there, layed open... blah, blah, blah.... Plus my eX was there...

We had a great time in Melbourne. Thank you all for helping to make it special.

No way Mr Chevron - you were ther ones who made it special for us.
We never thought we'd hear those tracks live again.
I was in the crowd and was watching as complete strangers sang together, punched the air and jumped up and down in sheer delight.
The show rocked and we hope it gives you the motivation to return....
Thank you so much.

Ha, remember that article in The Sun? They can go get fucked, just for making me worry The Pogues might not show.

Phil - absolutely brilliant show in Melbourne mate. Everything I hoped for and then some. So many other bands at your stage of their careers that just go through the motions on stage and collect a fat paycheck at the end. Thanks for playing with real heart instead. (Hope you still get the fat paycheck though.)

While you're all together again, any chance that you're working on any new material...?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

We still quite like the old material.

Saw the Festival Hall show last night. Everyone on good form. Great night.
Last time I saw them was in 84 supporting the Clash at Brixton Acadamy. Hope it's not so long before the next time.

Cheers for a great night at Festival Hall. Off to Sydney next week. Forgot what a cracking song 'Broad Majestic Shannon' is.

Words cannot adequately describe how awesome the Melbourne show was. I'm only 29, so this was the first ever chance I had to see you guys. It was everything I wanted and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Just wanted to say what an absolutely amazing show it was in Melbourne. Truly, I cannot believe that I was fortunate and lucky enough to see you boys play live; I’m 18 so sadly the opportunity has never presented itself. Thank you for fulfilling a childhood dream and creating such a special and unbelievable experience. The music will continue to be a source of inspiration.
