Wow, I was there and remember thinking how pissed Shane McGowan was. How fantastic it was to see this in the middle of June on a gorgeous day, especially with Kirsty MacColl
I was there too! Cranberries were a disappointment - Shane and the Popes were the highlight. Christie Moore, Saw Doctors, Crowded House - it was a helluva line up!
Ya know,..people keep posting about how he doesnt have to live that way.Shane CHOOSES to live his life the way HE wants.He wasnt a slave to this.I know that now,..at age 54.//he cannot give up alcohol because it'll kill him.I lose a good friend recently when he decided to give it up.He spend a hideous week sick and then his heart gave out. I pray God this doesnt happen to Shane.I worry for him because,yes the alcohol will get him eventually.I just dont want it to come.
virginiabeachgirl -that's the key,..IF they want.Shane isnt the one interested in changing his lifestyle at all.It seems a lot of his fans are the ones who have the problem,not Shane.Would anyone else want someone they didnt even know to judge their ways? I think they wouldnt like that at all. I wouldnt.I'd appreciate those who just accepted me as I am.
I always love it when they start dancing
What a sweetheart he was 💚
Just one of a kind, wish we all were so open.
even tho he is half dead and can't keep up to save his life, his voice is heaven!
love the man,
i was 6 when this first came out. once heard, never ever forgotten.
rip kirsty

Kirsty changing pretty much all the words to ‘drunk’ is my favourite thing ever.

The one and only ever drunken Shane.

Not their best performance as a duet but Spider tried to liven it up a bit...
shane sounded half cut or stoned?????? surely not!!!!!
and is that brian robertson on guitar from thin lizzy at the end? he spanked my ass at pool, one night. im sure its him.
does he just go toothless on stage?
haha he's tooo drunk xD (y)
Shane is fucked! God bless him :)
Don't think the band here live up to The Pogues.
Kirsty pushed it too fast,alot of end music too,shane was cool and slow...like shane...
These people are posers: Not single one of them is from NYC - shatny Irish my arse
Eric - Borne and raised in NYC. OBTW: Irish too.
she plainly has "baby on board".....is that the son involved in her death?
He's SO drunk! He can barely keep up with the song...
Jesus, that really is a couple of terrible singers. i have heard better in my local karaoke nights. Still a brilliant song tho but not live.
