Shane MacGowan just died today... I love this song and this performance in particular, it is raw and authentic. That sentence in the beggining "This is called dirty old town" chills me everytime. Rest in peace poet of the people - you'll be missed!
It’s a sad, sad day. Sent my dad this video who raised me on the pouges. He texted back “I lost a family member today”. The pouges have a deep root in my family. Thankful for shane’s life ❤️
I returned from my first trip in the Merchant Navy as a Marine Engineer Officer Cadet and paid off in my home port of Hebburn. After 4 months away at sea I hoped that the girl I loved wouldn't have fallen out of love with me while I was away. I had sent a telegram telling her what time the ship would dock. I walked towards the white Lead pub and the foul smell of the Lennox chemical factory. I saw a familiar figure walking towards me. I dropped my suitcases and ran to meet her. That kiss was something I'll never forget. Christine passed away last year, 2 months after our 40th wedding anniversary. I love her so much and will only stop when my mind and body follow hers.
And Can’t carry a note (though if he were ever caught sober he probably sang like a bird . Lol ) , but he is a freakin legend. Not many can pull that off.
@richardalexander261 Shaw said that alcohol is the anaesthesia that gets u through the operation of life. He obviously agreed and to a lesser extent, so do I.
Shane wrote some beautiful songs, but not this one. This was written by James Miller of Salford. Born to Scottish parents and better known as Ewan MacColl. The song is about Salford and one of the group actually dedicates this song at the beginning, saying "this is for anybody here from Salford"....(0.15).
Had an Irish friend who I used to work with many moons ago in the mid eighties, he said you've got to come and see this band at Nottingham Rock City The Pogues. It's still a great memory, the love and friendship in the crowd was amazing great gig. Farewell Shane Legend.
It's a memory I'll never forget, a Pogues concert in Germany. Shane was stoned out of his mind, he stumbled on stage, lit a cigarette, drank a whiskey. Then he had to hold on to the microphone stand. The music started to play.Shane celebrated all his musical skills. The moment is deeply etched in my mind. An incredible performance. That was over 30 years ago. I love and adore the Pogues.
It seems like everything Shane sang was raw and authentic. I had forgotten just how much I love The Pogues. Thank you Shane for 30 years of helping me get thru life.
RIP Shane. All you have to do is watch and here the crowd in this video. I would have loved to have been there amongst that crowd. What a performance! What a band! Thanks for all of your music that still touches us all. RIP ☘️
He didn't write this song but he did write Fairytale in New York, I always thought he wrote this but just found out Kirsty McCoy's father wrote it, I had no idea McGowan was born in England either, gotta love google.
This song, this performance would rouse you no matter what nationality you are. Heard it for the first time a week ago , listened 100 times since. RIP Shane.
Oh my frikn god, this is the first time I've ever listened to the Pogues. Why oh why didn't anyone tell me how great this band is. I'm 51 yrs old now and I've just listened to this track 4 times in a row
So much energy and brilliant... I saw the Pogues several times in the 80s and this is as full of life as they were then. What a lovely thing to find this after we have lost Shane
As good as it gets brought a smile to my face watching this and tears from my eyes , absolute genuine performance and of course the audience played their part as well great interaction , thank you Shane and Band ! ❤
I used to work by the docks in Salford in the 70s. It was a bit rough at that time but I was hooked on the place. I then went to New Zealand in 2018 and was in a bar on the South Island and requested a band to play this. Not sure if it would go down well as it was a young , very diverse crowd. The place absolutely erupted - everyone knew it!! I couldn't have been happier. I love Salford and I love this rendition of the song.
On my last trip to Manchester, I took - I think - two buses to get to Salford just to remember Shane MacGowan, this song, and its author/playwright/committed Socialist ... Can;t call his name now. Well, the Lowry museum is good, great, but it wasn't the Salford I came to love in Shane's singing. G B Hopkins - Texas Up the Iristh!
Absolutely beautiful - such a voice - the artist at his best after decades of work- you can really hear his life - thanks so much for sharing - such a sad loss for us all
R.i.p.Mr.Shane. I went through life many times with your songs, be it hard or good times... But with your songs and your voice I always felt calm and peaceful. Where you are now I wish you to give everyone a part of yourself through your songs...with a cigarette and whiskey❤🙏
Shane, a gentle and talented soul who brought joy to millions with his immense talent. Always will be remembered and never forgotten. Rest peacefully dear boy.
Mad to think this was only 10 years ago and Shane is completely on point! What a difference a few years makes. The whole band is so underrated, after all they went through the music is absolutely out of this world. Pure fucking talent 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
You know what mate, well said, I'm only 38, and have known this song and the band all my life, dad and his girlfriend always have the pogues playing at their legendary house parties. So now even though me and dad haven't spoken in years, due to him being a money grabbing bastard, now I listen to them on my own, and enjoy their talent, and the waterboys, and levellers, the rolling stones, led zep, and pink floyd, atleast for my age I enjoy real music , so I'm happy for him to of imparted that to me, even though in the long run he was a let down.
Love The Pogues. Thank you for all the beautiful, meaningful songs. Such great talent. Can listen to their music all day. Rest in peace Shane McGowan 💜
Shane, j'ai pleurai ce soir ! parce que tu ai parti ! Et je pleure encore ! Tu m'a bercé pendant des années sur tes rythmes ! J'arrête la et je chiale encore ! Merci l'ami et VIVE L 'IRLANDE !
Ich kenne dieses Lied seit einer Ewigkeit. Gute alte irische Musik. Ich liebe es. Hier hat man auch beim Betrachten der Menge das Gefühl, dass die Iren ihr Land wirklich lieben, so wie sie sich geben. Gott, ich beneide euch Iren.
My mum is from leitrem my dad from Armagh I'm from belfast my wife from ukraian my daughter in law from Wales my kids and grandkids Australians love this song
I have commented on this before brilliant how many lives has this man made so many connections with people God bless I can only hope I have made a meger contribution to this world when I go Lee
Shane Macgowan is still alive at June 4th, 2021. At this point nothing can beat this man EDIT: unfortunately Shane MacGowan died today aged 65, may he rest in peace.
Such a sad loss to this brilliant performance with the pogues dirty old town what an artist hay what a legend we will never forget such an awesome songwriter and singer 🏴
We all have a dirty old town in our past, in our memories... not the worst, not the best memories, but they cling with us. This song manages to revive it all in a very vivid manner. Amazing...
I was driving in my car once, and this song popped up on my CD player. My friend asked me “what town are they singing about”. I told him that it is about a place which I used to work in, Sun Valley, CA. /s
"This is called dirty old town" chills everytime. What a performance. Wishing Shane and the rest of the band a merry Christmas. This song brings back so many memories.
Don't know how he is still alive......sings from the soul......he pened the best Christmas song EVER.....long life Shane.....💕💞💘💝🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Moi je croyais que c était 1 chanson qui faisait partie du Folklore irlandais ! Or, c'est Shane qui l a composé et maintenant elle fait effectivement partie du folklore irlandais ! J' aime aussi bcp "A pair of Brown eyes" et surtout sa chanson de Noël particulièrement réussie ! (In a fairy tale in New-York)...
@@marieclaudeferry6563Marie - it was written long before Shane was born by an English folk singer Ewan MacColl about his home town, now city Salford, near Manchester. Shane was born in Kent, England and only spent six years as a child in Ireland before moving back to England.
Lost my father a few weeks ago and this brought a lump to my throat as he used to play The Pogues all the time when I was growing up, and this was one of his favourites - he was from Irish stock and brought up in Manchester
My condolences. My Mum ascended on September 23rd. Born in Lurgan, Armagh. I made sure we both acquired Irish citizenship nearly three years ago. Ma had British as well. Not by choice.
@@Bianchess However did he keep performing??? I was sooo sick I crawled if I had to go to the br--- or ANYWHERE!!! From the cancer--- or all the chemo? Not sure--- but I sure wasn't singing!!!!!! By the way---- this is Linda using Duane's computer.
I saw pogues in finsbury park london. 2000 i think, shane appeared to be drunk and staggered about the stage , but when they started playing he somehow morphed in to something beyond incredible! You have to have seen him live to understand.sad day. ❤😢
I am crying as I am watching this. I will cry every time I hear this from this day forward the man was and is a timeless legend. God rest his pure soul!! Respect 🫡 ❤🔥

This performance showed the mutual love and understanding he and fans shared. A very special thing. Ah, Shane.

It's not his song,rod Stewart sang it before the pogues

I was taught guitar lessons by a Irishman in Canada 🇨🇦 he taught me , the irish folk songs ...as a Canadian limey , I love it
RIP Mr.McGowan! May you flow with rivers of whiskey to heaven. We lost a poet🥃
The Pogues lives forever!
I'm portuguese and I thank you for this amazing hymn. Kind of a therapy for a fucked up week. RIP Shane.
Lovely comment
Boas e que viva la música
Feliz Navidad
that was awesome
Unvergesslich! Musik für die Ewigkeit! Ruhe in Frieden!!
RIP Shane, thank you for all your fantastic music you gave us, you'll always be remembered❤
It's a memory I'll never forget, a Pogues concert in Germany.
Shane was stoned out of his mind, he stumbled on stage, lit a cigarette, drank a whiskey. Then he had to hold on to the microphone stand.
The music started to play.Shane celebrated all his musical skills. The moment is deeply etched in my mind. An incredible performance.
That was over 30 years ago.
I love and adore the Pogues.
Amazing memories ❤️
Is right 1 of the memories you WANT TO HAVE AND KEEP
Shane looks like a cross between Phil Ochs and Liam Neeson!
Glad you got nice memories ❤
Great story man 😎
RIP Shane - Thank you for the music written for all of us from those dirty old towns - God Bless you are home now.☘☘☘

Whenever the Irish sing it's always raw and authentic, just as God intended.
