[MetallicAddict15]

2:40 The crowd gets to me every time...

[miksmeets]

Such a brilliant performance. I'm in the first row, right in front of Cait. I'll never forget this. Thank you for posting the video. Priceless.

[LOSERLARRY]

fuck me did you buy the cheap seats at this concert or what? fucking miles away yer zoom has to stop for a rest on its way to the stage!!

[willruddock]

I believe it's Ella Finer.

[forresdame]

@willruddock That shows how little you know!!!

[willruddock]

@forresdame You moron! I didn't mean for this video! Somebody asked who's singing this song with Shane these days. Kirsty has had many replacements, among them Jem Finer's daughter Ella.

"That shows how much you know!!!" Psssssssh!

[forresdame]

@willruddock No shit Sherlock!

[willruddock]

@forresdame "No shit Sherlock!"? Resorting to being a dick now, are we? You were being a dick to me, I corrected you, you admitted you were wrong and I apologized and I forgave you. That's it. So, stop being a dick.

[forresdame]

@willruddock Aye okay, I hold my hand up and admit I didn't read the full sequence of comments...  Sorreeeeeeeeeeeee ;o)

[willruddock]

@forresdame You're forgiven.

[MsAngelEyesxxx]

Lolol was this the night when he threw up on stage?

[DigitalGrotto]

"fuck off. macgowan's a legend."

Nice language.

[sirmarmalade]

That's fantastic and Cait's great. The sexiest Pogue of them all... Pity they won't let her join in nowadays.

[netiswaycool]

fuck off. macgowan's a legend.

and he's really cleaning up his act in the past few years, he sounds alot better now.

amazing night.

[keukpa]

God damn, the woman they have on this is SHITE! No one can replace Kirsty.

[wiseguy952]

shanes trademark-smoke in one hand cup of gin in the other

[Shtove]

That fella McGowan, he's some dancer.

[forresdame]

I was at this tour on the first night in Glasgow, Cait was fantastic - thanks for sharing this - brings a tear to my eye and a lot of happy memories!

[lowellirish]

Yep another depression fucked up Pogues song...I have NO respect for this band...such a way to ruin what is the most honorable holiday- one where you are SUPPOSED to be reminded of "love your neighbor" and they pull this shit..?!

[tommyfthompson]

WE can't help it that you're an idiot. The Pogues are great and you are too damn dumb to appreciate it. Go home and watch the paint peel.

[tranmere66]

I was there, what a fantastic night. Cait O'Riordan rules.

[netiswaycool]

cait is the best singer since KM. ella finer just doesn't have the right voice.

[sonoferin]

Small point - its Fairytale OF New York, not IN.

[VR1991]

justatad drunk? lol

Amazing song! actually a really good performance

[CAROLEMENZIES]

what can I say - an absolute classic - love it at any time of the year!!! Not just for Christmas

[PatriarchK]

This is sooo great! I wish i was there when they played :(

[toomuch108]

totally agree with joeyisdrunk

[msignor]

Thanks for posting!

[tkoe2007]

this is a great song but this version sux He has sounded better here he  sux and it needs Kristy (RIP Justice for Kristy)

[tranmere66]

I was at this concert and Cait O'Riordan was superb throughout the night. She did this song full justice. If she hadn't left The Pogues in '86 it would have been her on the record!

That said, I am a devoted KM fan and wholeheartedly support JFK.

[Dee1271]

limited vocabularily they call that. I think people resort to obcenities when they can't even think of a valid comment!

[paddy54321]

dee1271 ur just a twat, u obviously have no respect for great real music.

[Dee1271]

I like the song and thank you i'm not a twat i'm entitled to my opinion. Thats what these comment boxes are for! tosser!

[davidrr1]

you're a moron.

[Dee1271]

lol. Yeah whatever!

[Dee1271]

How this bloke ever got to be famous is beyond me! My cat can sing better than him!.

U can even hear he doesn't have any teeth!

[punchachristian]

ehh fuck off

[joeyisdrunk]

It's Becuase It's real. He didn't change his voice with anything, even now. He's Just a guy who's seen the bottom and the top of the world. It doesn't get much more real then Shane Macgowan. This is how music should be, nothing changed, just the real voice singing, even if you aren't the greatest singer.

[bnojammymulligan]

Maybe he's famous because he can write songs that touch millions....muppet

[murphy249]

its his sister siobhan that is singing with him

[notneils]

nope, that's Cait.

[murphy249]

it is siobhan his sister i know this as i live in tipp near his parents and both shane and siobhan are often around.

[dougsher]

Who is singing with him? Taking Kirsty's place....although no one really can....we love you Kirsty!

[Factory0utlet]

Im pretty sure it's Caitlin O'Riordan! And if someone could take Kirtsy's place it's her (I believe the song was originally written with Caitlin in mind)

[franky710110]

@Factory0utlet

don't know her....but I think Amy McDonald also can..

[supertonesurf]

it dosen't get any better than that. god bless shane macgowen

[krullogd]

Cool stuff here, the pogues are a very cool band. Thanks for putting up the video!

[StrayCatLady]

beautiful!!

[brianktennis]

Wonderful, thanks for adding this. GOD, will Shane ever get clean? He can be pure magic!

[smhorse]

Shane was born "dorty"!
