Unfortunately....The Point is in Dublin! The Pogues is tempting though, but Dublin is such a pain in the arse of a city.

was that when they were still playing at the Bayou?  if so, i'm jealous...i was about 5 then...i didn't get to see them live until Pop [/b]

The "War" tour was at the Ritchie Coliseum at the University of Maryland in 1983......I was there up front at a general admission show.....the last time I saw them, also......and I'll never see them again I'm sure......unless I sneak into a "surprise" club date somewhere......I don't do arenas or stadiums for music anymore....

apart from Tom Dunne's Pet Sounds in the evenings, now that's quality radio

good choice mankie - apparently he's played the new Dave Couse single 25 days in a row or something!
 
 Tom Dunne used to be the lead singer in Something Happens - gawd, I was quite infatuated with that band for about a year in the late 80s

12/23/05 The Pogues at the Point

How is Shane doing these days? I saw a documentary about 2 years ago and he seemed in REALLY bad shape , even by his standards

[RandyNA74]

Will be there both nights. And in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Speaking of which, I still have an extra ticket if anyone is interested. Section E12. Face value ($60 including TM fees) or best offer...

I think he's dead....they just haven't told him yet.    
 
 I read he was getting a new set of teeth, seriously.

I'll be at the Wed show.  I have to say I don't entirely agree with the way they are handling general admission entry into the pit.  Lottery system..... give me a fuckin break.

I grew up in Florida, so I have no idea about the Bayou days.  But they were playing convention halls when I saw them in '83.

Knowing Bono....you'll have to pay for the lottery ticket as well as your concert ticket.
