St. Patrick’s Day in New York City with the Pogues

Though I didn’t have my notebook with me for much of the NYC show, I think that the set list was the same except for “Rain Street” instead of “Sayonara”. Of course, I could be entirely wrong about this.

*

I needed some help finding the name of the Spider-led instrumental performed at both shows. Seems it’s “Repeal of the Licensing Laws” which was the B-side of “The Boys of the County Hell” & which now appears on a remastered version of Red Roses for Me.

Some banter from Boston…
Shane: Did you see Brokeback? {Pause.} Best western ever made. {Pause.} They’re usin’ sex pistols.

Shane: “Never fear the devil.”

Did Spider say “Viva Zapata” during Fiesta?
