The Pogues are a fantastic multi- talented band - I have been a fan for some 20 plus years, however with some sadness now refuse to see them in a stadium-style venue. I'd rather remember them as they were circa 1985-88 when they were at their best in smaller Manchester venues (such as the International) One of their best performances was at the Apollo in Dec 1987 when Shane was slurring through his lyrics as usual aided by the late great Kirsty MacColl. The atmosphere at that gig was electric. Happy days!.....and when we came out of the venue it was snowing...aaahhh! Dom - even though both Spider and Terry Woods are accomplished frontmen, The Pogues wouldn't be who they were without the inebriated Shane at the helm. I'm sure that his thousands of adoring and loyal fans would agree with that! Long live The Pogues! Touce ;)
