What a show! I went with 2 friends on Tuesday, March 15th. 1 had never even heard of the Pogues and he loved it. Shane was in rare form, Spider sang Til Tuesday like a fine glass of brandy. The enthuiastic crowd, mosh pit, body surfers, etc. just added to the atmosphere. TRULY BRILLIANT! The only bad thing - they didn't sing Fairytale of New York or Love You Til the End.
A great venue, good bar service and the best live Pogues gig I've ever seen.
Shane MacGowan and the boys were brilliant as always. They played all of the old favorites and gave two encores. Pure class...
A good fun concert by the Pogues, never seen before, and am glad I finally got to see them. Great energy!
Houston House of blues gig coincided with the last night of our two week tour of Texas. It just put the cream on our cake! The venue is great, purpose made for bands in the tradition hall style, we opted for the balcony being coffin dodgers, Not heard of Justin Townes Earle but he was fantastic, bought his cd at the venue, Very different live to recorded but both are well worth covering, hope he tours UK would travel to see him again. Nashville has pulled another ace of country music. The Pogues gave all and Shane spent more time on stage than I expected him to which was a bonus, The songs where the vocals are taken on by other members of the band live up to the mark and whatever your favourite Pogue styles are you were sure to have heard a couple of your favourites.Two encores each of about three songs. Go and see em if you get the chance I'm sure you wont be disappointed. So I raise my Parting Glass to Justin, Shane and the boys to a fantastic finale to a terrific holiday.
Everything I expected & then some. The band know their stuff & deliver it as the Pogues have always done in their own unique style.
It was great to see such an iconic band. It was even better that Shane McGowan actually made it on stage. The performance was excellent even if a little slurred. The beer prices at House of Blues are way too expensive, espcially after paying over $45 dollars for tickets.
The Pogues were great last night! Can't wait to see them at House of Blues next year!
I saw the Pogues in Houston. They were wild and wonderful. Shane was a little too drunk but sang great. The crowd was VERY lively.
Lead singer way to drunk to sing, needs to sober up prior to show. Band was good. Venue echoed way to much
What can be said about the most prolific singer/songwriter of our generation. Waited twenty years for this event and it went well beyond my expectations. The quality of musicians on stage last evening was top notch. Shane showed and blew me away. Ready to be a roadie and travel with them on the remainder of their tour. What a night! Come back again soon. We love you guys.
fantastic sound fantastic show, great venue. thanks
Great setlist. 2 encores. Riddle me this: how can someone so wasted be more coherent whilst singing than speaking? Because he's Shane effing McGowan. Do these guys realize their age? They brought it. I was apprehensive when Shane came stumbling onto the stage - and I use the term stumbling generously - and mumbled incoherently into the mike.... I was afraid he'd physically shown up but hadn't actually "shown up" for the show... Once they launched into their set I realized it hasn't dawned on any of these guys that they're in their 50s. Should someone tell them? Nah. I've always loved the juxtaposition of the bands' technical musicianship set against Shane's vocals. Seeing them live makes you fully appreicate how truly talented the band members are. Only personal faves missing were Fairytale of NY, Waltzing Matilda, & Summer in Siam. I adore Shane... but I now understand why The Pogues has 7 other members... It takes that many people to keep Shane in check for 2 hours. Heard throughout the crowd throughout the course of the night... "What's he saying?" "How old is he?" "Is that whiskey or wine he's drinking straight out of the bottle?" "Why's he rambling on about Napoleon Bonaparte?" All in all awesome show. If you've ever considered seeing the Pogues live but haven't, it's a definite must.
The Pogues what can I say a lifelong DREAM to see those guys rock out!! It was to say the least AMAAAZZZZZIIINNNGGGGG...FANTASTIC AWESOME...I was so stoked just being there! I am in awe of the whole thing and a diehard fan of those guys!! THEY WERE INCREDIBLE!!!
Was in front row. 2nd time to see the Pogues. Shane is still hanging in there. He needed repeated breaks..but its still Shane MacGowan. The crowd was lively up front. Lots of jumping around and lots of drinking.
I feel blessed the Pogues came to Kansas City. I only discovered this band a few years ago but their music will truly be with me the rest of my life.
It wasThe Pogues with the original band members. Nuff said.
Great Irish music. The band is tight! Very well polished and extremely talented. Shane was his usual drunk self (when is he not?), but was able to growl out the lyrics like he always does. Can't understand a blinkin' word he says when he speaks to the crowd, but that's part of the charm. He only missed a few lines, or came in late once or twice. By now the band knows how to keep up w/ Shane, or to wait until he catches up. They are in sync with each other. All in all, an outstanding performance by a veteran band.
Staff was helpful and very friendly. Venue is beautiful. The Pogues were AMAZING! They sound just as good as ever and I highly recommend catching them play live. Shane MacGowan is as entertaining as ever but the genius of the musicians themselves should not be overlooked.
The band sounded great. Shane was drunk as usual but put on a good show, even after falling face first on the stage.
