@GriftingGriff And i think that all the beautiful lyrics by the pogues was written by that drunk and smashed up irishman,yeah he might not be a role model or a good singer,but he is for sure a goddamn poet,and the pogues (and his musicians too) owes everything to him too,because without those fantastic lyrics pogues wouldn't be absolutely nothing.

Thanks so much for this. I've got to get the whole vid with "Rainy Nt.", etc. From a 50 yr. olde true fan in Southern Nova Scotia, Canada. Happy New Year, Thanks again, and whatever else you may have of the Pogues; put it on!

I still have the complete concert on vhs ... i ripped it with my first video recorder from Tele5, one of the first german private TV-Stations... it's a 20year old cassette... I think it's time to try to rescue that treasure!

Saw the band up near Tipperary in the 90s. Shane had a bout of inability to walk. His mates were carrying him. He did get up to sing later in an unstable condition.
Haha that's the legend joe strummer near the end there in the dressing room with his tele... Beautiful clip
