tickets for 930 shows normally go on sale every Thursday at 10AM. go ahead and check tickets.com later tonight.  the show will probably be listed there with the exact on sale date and time.  good luck getting tickets.

but the real question is; Is Shane gonna be there?
 
 Ive heard rumors he might not be. it would be a let down expecting to see him and he's not there.

He'll be there. Philip Chevron, the guitar player, is on medical leave for throat cancer, but since he is on the mend we remain hopeful that he will be back in the lineup in March. Shane MacGowan, on the other hand, has not missed a single show since they reunited. So, yes, Shane will be there and will likely balance a bottle on his head without spilling a drop.

I think you meant to say:
 
 "Shane has started every show since they reunited.  He's probably finished just over half of them."

A little secret...Shane does not get as shitfaced as he portrays on stage. Have you noticed how much water he drinks during the show???

yeah.  pretty shitfaced doesn't even come close to covering it.  he was much better at the last pogues shows that at his solo gigs, but it is most definitely not an act.

This will me my first live Shane experience.  I wouldn't expect him to be anything less than completely blotto, but can he still sing in the shape he's in?  I have visions of him reading along to a tele-prompter.
