Lived in London in late 80s. When they played Brixton it was always very messy. Outside the cops were waiting outside on their horses.
They played Finsbury park more than once I think. Shane was in no state to sing .
Sad to see him in the state he is in.

I was at the Leeds Poly gig on that tour it was brilliant stuff from both bands that night.
Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

Check out Thousands Are Sailing. My favourite Pogues song. Brilliant lyrics -

"The island it is silent now but the ghosts still haunt the waves, as a torch lights up a famished land who fortune could not save"

I love that song and I love the lyrics but Shane always sort of hated it. He always changed the Brenden Behan live as it really irked him. Jem Finer wrote it. It wasnt until Jem got sick then passed that Shane really embraced it.

Not Jem. Phil Chevron. Of f**king course it was. But you get the idea.
