I love Shane and The Pogues and I love Bruce and The E Street Band. It was great seeing Bruce visit Shane in Dublin last year. And it was so touching listening to him speaking about Shane after he passed. I was expecting something like this, and it has definitely made my day. I would love to see something similar in Dublin next weekend and maybe even seeing Victoria on stage for the occasion! Shane and Bruce Forever!!!
My first visit to beautiful Kilkenny, I said on the way in “It’d be amazing if he paid tribute to Shane tonight”, opening with this was the best possible start to the best Bruce gig I’ve been to so far!
Lyrics: I've been loving you a long time Down all the years, down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into Heaven Some of them fell into Hell I took shelter from a shower And I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho The wind was whistling all its charms I sang you all my sorrows You told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song? To all those little girls and boys Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning The ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I'd hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first times I never think about the last Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means Still there's a light I hold before me You're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams
Grown man in bits here, embarrassed??..not one bit! Incredibly touching moment, beautiful tribute to his dear friend no longer with us. Rest easy Shane
I absolutely love Bruce (seen him 75 times). I also love The Pogues (saw them a week ago, Red Roses For Me). I love that Bruce did a tribute to Shane. It's not his usual type of song but to start with this in Ireland was beautiful. RIP Shane 🙏
@@GuadalupePicasso "Spider" Stacy does most of the singing with guests appearances by other artists. I read the " Red Roses" gig was brilliant. The music and words sustain.
Classy move by Bruce, maybe the band didn't really know it, as it lacked the raucous swirling waltz of the pogues. But E Street aren't a punk band - nice hornplaying and accordion - but more oomph and sway required next time.
@@tombyrne6559 And what a sublimely beautiful song it is. Not so well known here in the US as in Ireland. I am grateful to Springsteen for playing it, or I would never have known about it. It was lovely to hear the crowd singing along and what an anthem to life it is.
Wonderful heartfelt tribute to one of the greats...from one of the greats.
Words fail me. Genius pure and simple. Simply wonderful tribute from one genius to another.
Wow I didn't see this one coming! What a beautiful tribute to Shane McGowen, a poet and a genius, one of my favourite songs sang by my favourite band❤
I deeply love Kilkenny...and Bruce...and Shane. This is perfect.
Bruce has done a beautiful tribute Victoria.
Love and Light 💚
That was a class move.
That song is both beautiful & timeless.
I love Shane and The Pogues and I love Bruce and The E Street Band.

From.one legend. In memory of another legend

Wonderful! Always been a fan of Bruce- amazing musician & performer. The audience clearly enjoyed it & I think Shane would have liked!❤😊
Bruce just as brilliant as ever fantastic tribute to Shane
Brings a tear to the eye.
Lyrics:
I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first times
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams
❤

Do “the Pogues” tour with a new vocalist?
@@GuadalupePicassoThey do not, but some of the remaining members performed alongside guests to mark the 40th anniversary of Red Roses For Me.

@@thebillryan. I was there mate. I thought it was unbelievable

You are simply a lovely person, Mr. Springsteen.
When Bruce pays a tribute, it's worth listening to, after all, it's not as if he lacks material!😉

In Eire recently
jfc edit the video would you? Nearly 2 mins of the crowd clapping at the start isn't necessary
Classy move by Bruce, maybe the band didn't really know it, as it lacked the raucous swirling waltz of the pogues. But E Street aren't a punk band - nice hornplaying and accordion - but more oomph and sway required next time.
So sweet of Bruce doing so.
Definitely not his song . 🖤
Bruce doesn’t come close to Shane!!!
The whole world knows that!.
@@tombyrne6559 Actually, it doesn't. Because it's' not true. Beautiful, beautiful song though.
@@davidwalek522 Not true?. The only thing here thats TRUE here now is shane WROTE the lyrics for RAINY NIGHT IN SOHO. TRUTH and fact. Rip to shane.
@@tombyrne6559 And what a sublimely beautiful song it is. Not so well known here in the US as in Ireland. I am grateful to Springsteen for playing it, or I would never have known about it. It was lovely to hear the crowd singing along and what an anthem to life it is.
@@davidwalek522 And likewise 2. I always enjoyed the BOSS.only 1 Boss .
Long...bore fest
