At their best there was no better live band.When they were bad they were truly awful though.
It's a great album.

I've not seen them. The only reports I ever heard were along the lines of"Oh man it was brilliant - McGowan got through a half a bottle of rum during the first song, and they had to carry him off by the third, it was ace!"
Sounds to me like a load of toss.

It revolved around him really,if he had a good night everyone had a good night.
I think the best gig I ever went to was The Pogues in Bournemouth (the day after the Tory conference started at the same venue, the one with the navy frigate parked in the harbour).
One of the worst was The Pogues at Reading. Shane was off his head, spent the entire gig tossing a tambourine over his shoulder and trying to catch it behind his back. The man's a jerk but man, when they're firing on all cylinders it makes your hair stand on end.
