I can see your point that it may sad not to have Cait up on stage.Cait did add a lot to the reuions when she guested on vocals . But the ads I saw all said "Live In Concert With Full Original Line Up", followed by a list of names .The list of names makes it very clear.Caits name does not appear in the list , nor does John Hasler.
I guess this was a clue that they would not be there. Also you missed the word "Full " from your quote. I guess full would be the ad mans discription for this line as opposed to the "definitive line up " where Cait guested on vocals in previous reuion tours.At the end of the day it is The Pogues .Not the new & improved , whiter than white , better valve for money soap powder .Never trust an ad man , go see them for yourself.
I would agree with definitive line up. If it truly was the original line up then it would be much poorer due to missing Terry Woods and Phil Chevron.
