Last Wednesday and Thursday the lads blew through Seattle, taking the stage to the strains of the Clash's "Straight to Hell" and rocking the Showbox with classic hit after classic hit. Shane was in fine form, having shed about thirty pounds since last year, but regrettably ailing guitarist Phil Chevron was not in the band's lineup.
This is the Pogues' 25th anniversary and it has been 21 years since I first saw them perform...Shane had a few teeth back then, but most in last week's sold-out audience weren't even born. No matter as they danced and sang along to all the old faves until Spider closed out the night by bashing a beer tray over his head in time to "Fiesta".
