Pogues @ Wiltern, 10/20/06
By Jeannette - Sunday October 22nd 2006
Yes, this was the first time I’ve ever seen Shane sober. I’ve seen him in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Dublin, London and Liverpool and he’s always been completely anihalated. I went to a show in high school where he didn’t even show up.
Tonight I could understand what he was saying, he danced around and joked and in short put on a dream come true show. I haven’t seen the Pogues for a zillion years so, thank you, Shane, for putting on the best show I’ve ever seen you do.
The only bummer of the evening and it was a quasi-bummer is that you let someone else sing “Thousands Are Sailing.”
Well “Thousands Are Sailing” is written by Phillip Chevron. I don’t know the Pouges by sight but I assume that’s who sang it (http://www.pogues.com/PastPogues/PChevron/PChevron.html).
My “bummer” (as slight as yours) is that they didn’t play “Sit Down by the Fire”.
Thanks for the tickets losanjealous!
