Wow. According to Wikipedia, 'Tuesday Morning' is the most successful Pogues-single internationally, and the only one to make the US Hot 100.

Me too. It was the Pogue Mahone tour though, but they played some old Pogues songs as well, and they were great too.

haha - ditto. I used to love 'Tuesday Morning'. I remember it getting a lot of airplay on 120 Minutes and local alterna stations. Great bassline IIRC.

I believe if it says "The Pogues" it's safe to say Shane is there.

I have seen "The Pogues" without Shane, so use of the name's not always the best indicator, but he's doing the tour in the UK with the original line-up in December, so I'm reckoning Bimble should see him. Last time I saw him doing a gig, he was so drunk he fell off a chair.

I remember Jem Finer once walking round Baird's lifting up drunks passed out in vomit till he found Spider Stacy. Less than an hour later he was onstage banging a tin tray off his head.

Tuesday Morning is great, but I’ll take Drunken Boat over it any day.

If we turned the table upside down and sailed around the bedClamped knives between our teeth and tied bandannas round our headsWith the wainscot our horizon, and the ceiling as the skyYou’d not expect that anyone would go and FUCKIN DIE
