The Pogues perform "Dirty Old Town" live in San Diego, CA @ the House of Blues on Oct 19, 2009.

Shane interacts with the crowd at the beginning of this song. For some reason, there was a mosh pit behind us during this fairly slow song, so the picture gets very BUMPY at times. For this, I'm very sorry. But people gotta dance, you know? Hope you enjoy.

  • Was he drunk? Or is it hard to tell these days?

  • I was told by a friend of the band that he was suffering from pneumonia, but I guess it could always be a combination. He sounded pretty good, though. Usually when he's trashed he just screams a lot, and you can't make out the words. So, I'd think it was illness.

  • Did Shane sit for most of the show?

  • Yes. He stood for the first song or two, and tried to leave the stage for one of the songs when one of the others sing lead vocals. He lost his balance and fell backwards into the amps and mic stands. They put him on the stool for the rest of the songs he did.

  • The bumpiness comes from a small group of drunk guys that bumped into each other and me in time to the music. I held it as steady as I could under the conditions.

  • You're not going to see to many more shows like this, with Shane and the rest. I guess I'd better shell out the coin and go see these guys before it's all over and done with.

  • hes got his voice back... now how about a new album
