The Pogues take the stage 3/17/11 N.Y.C.
Performing "Dirty Old Town"
One of the best nights of my life! Despite the obvious toll time has taken on poor Shane MacGowan, he still knows how to put on a show. The crowd swayed and brayed along to every song, and a dream of mine was fulfilled. The show was called "A parting glass with The Pogues" and is supposed to be a farewell tour, but I know it isn't their first goodbye, and hopefully not their last. Marjie and I had a great time, and can hopefully do it again soon!
Enjoy the videos!
Sláinte!
That's fantastic, man! Sometimes I forget that the Pogues are alive. They just seem so timeless, like a dream or something. Even on the video I can feel the energy from Dirty Old Town.
ReplyDeleteGreat still life, too. Bullets, bones, and bourbon.
