smilinds The Pogues are an incredible band and you should not miss your chance to see them at their best.Watch them preform beautys such as "The Broad Majestic Shannon" written by none other than the great man Shane MacGowan himself along with "Rainy Night In Soho" and the gorgeous "Lullaby Of London".You also have the pleasure of hearing their greatly loved cover of "Dirty Old Town.Also upon this great video you have the wonderful "Fairytale Of New York" featuring none other than the beautiful dearly departed Kirsty MacColl singing alongside Shane.The Pogues are always far more greatly known for their love of drink than their beautiful lyric.Which is an incredible shame as they are one of if not the greatest band to emerge from the 80's

kodiak-2 Now 15 years old, this video of The Pogues playing on St. Patrick's Day in London's Town and Country serves to remind fans why we loved the band and possibly why their breakup was inevitable.A thoroughly sloshed Shane MacGowan mumbles and screams his way through most of their hits to that point in time. Of course, real fans like the mumbling and the screaming.Lots of energy, great guests - The Specials, the late Kirstie MacColl and especially the late great Joe Strummer - who not only gets up on stage for a stirring rendition of London Calling, but serves as a kind of host for the evening as he discusses what made the Pogues so great.The video times in at a paltry 60 minutes which leaves you begging for more, but between the singalong Wild Rover and the silly string silliness of Fiesta, it is a jam-packed entertaining piece of music history.
