They also played Real Irish Whiskey, and I may have left out another because as I've been riding around the past few days with my iPod in teh car, I've noticed that I left at least that one out... may have been more. And how brilliant was it to play Dancin' Shoes at the Roseland Ballroom, eh?! I swear there were thousands of olde time dancin' ghosts there just above the crowd having a grand time.
Also, In retrospect, they should have played The Crock of Gold. Its a great song, but also given the crowning achievement of opening for teh Pogues, I would have loved to hear them sing:
"Well, Chicago is my home and I'll never want to roam,
to live on any sun swept distant shore.
Well, it is where I was reared by forbearers so revered,
and I sing the songs that they all sang before.
Well, any woman that's neared me
has been repelled most thoroughly.
Still I'm a lover God, I am foremost of all.
A musician that's my call of high degree professional.
But I'm afraid I do not know my trade at all.
And if it's every twenty years
some small relief to me appears,
then the crock of gold will wait until that day."
