Over/Under on Pogues actual start times

[Bags]

We may as well begin with tonight's show, with an 11:00 scheduled start time for the Pogues.  
 
 Place your bets, place your bets.
 
 I'm going with 11:45.  Incredibly optimistic, I know....    :p

from what i hear only brazilians have a hard time getting to the stage on time    
 
 the bigger question is whether or not they've cleared customs...

[Bags]

Not sure how long ago it was, but one of the Pogues 9:30 club shows didn't begin until after 1:00 a.m. (there were set to go on at 11:00, I think).

12:30 give our take 5 minutes.

Fuck, I totally forgot about their reputation for being notoriously late.  I got all excited when I saw their start time was 10:00 on Friday, because if it got out by 11:30 or midnight, I'd still have time to go do some partying with my friends who didn't get tickets.
 
 I'm going to say 11:00 for Friday.  I'll be optimistic.

[psbales]

Ever the optimist, I say midnight, on the dot!!

they came on at 11.15
 
 wow, wow, wow, fucking unbelievable show - great sound, great musicians, great lyrics
 
 this is the third time I've seen them and this was easily the best
 
 I highly recommend that even if you don't have a ticket swing by the club tomorrow night and see if you can pick one up - you won't regret it

kidda figured they would be "prompt"... expecting your fans to shell out $50 dollars to see you then make them wait isn't going sit too well with them.

They've done it before....THANKS, Brennser, for the report.  I am getting very excited!!

i'm not denying it hasn't happened in the past, but as the pogues age so does their fanbase, paying $50 to around waiting for them is probably going to wear thin for some..

No "Misty Morning Albert Bridge"? That's too bad, it's my favorite Pogues song. I'm still going to hope for a big rousing version of it tonight.

[Bags]

Hey, if anyone knows of an available ticket, I have a friend who is now interested....

Amazing show, great song selection and great sound. Incredible musicians, all of them, James Fearnley with the accordion, Spider Stacy, Terry Woods, Andrew Ranken, Jem Finer, Philip Chevron, Darryl Hunt... banjo, whistle, mandoline, saxo... fuck, unforgettable show, and by the way, great crowd. Thanks 9:30 for such a superb show. and thanks the Pogues for being what they are, one of the most brilliant bands ever.
