the pogues live 1984

[@shane-ri2ml]

シェイン、本当にありがとう。 安らかに。

[@MichaelMAFox]

These guys changed the game back then. It was suddenly cool to be Irish in London and people stopped taking the piss out of me for playing the banjo.

[@dondamon4669]

And they were all English 😂 Shane was only Irish but he left there at 5

[@HrBiermann]

@@dondamon4669 Cait was Irish/Scottish born in Nigeria. Maybe not Irish as such, but not English.

[@87ludivine]

Et Spider, est-il irlandais ? Il joue merveilleusement bien de la flûte et je crois qu'il aimait beaucoup Shane. J'aurais tellement aimé les rencontrer et assister à un concert des Pogues à cette époque ! ❤🙏

[@fraserbailey6347]

I saw the Pogues many times in the winter of 1984/85 at venues like the Mean Fiddler and the Bull & Gate. It was the greatest privilege of my life.

[@timfellows2]

How in God's name can those people stand still when "Whiskey you're the Devil" is playing?

RIP Shane 🌹🌹🌹11/30/2023 🇮🇪☘️💚

[@andrewmcgilvary7408]

The croud were absolutely mental when this tour arrived at The Barrowlands, Glasgow, Scotland

[@gaelicamericancraic1816]

These guys were way ahead of the curve.

[@seanod7157]

This has to be the earliest Pogues video there is. One of the best too. Thanks for sharing.

[@seanvarden-kenny6938]

at their prime.

[@fogofogoify]

Deadly video!

[@soulierish]

Merci à toi de ce fabuleux moment avec shane mc gowan, ça devait être fantastique, j'ai 43 ans et j'ai grandi avec tous ceux là, c t chouette n'est ce pas ? Je fabrique des faux rochers maintenant, ainsi va la vie pour moi, fais moi signe si tu veux une cascade, j'apprécierai, au plaisir Antoine ...

[@urbanbeachcomber]

This was from a UK TV program called The Tube, broadcast live on Friday between 5pm and 7pm. I seem to remember this as early '85 but it's along time ago so could well be late '84. Only the first four songs were broadcast - the last two Greenland Whale Fisheries and Transmetroplitan were as far as I know never broadcast. Anyway, that's the reason the crowd were pretty static - You'd see the same people in there every week on TV! Including the dancers!

[@guitarmaninthedrum]

AH! i remember these early days gigs very well not a celtic fan in sight ,shane playing guitar and the pogues playing the barras in glasgow

[@BeercanRecords]

Gotta love Spider laughing at the :45 mark after Shane mumbles through the curse words.

[@fahlen.236]

Gold.

[@seanvarden-kenny6938]

he held out for the first two "curses" and then, it flowed..

[@skeetabix36]

Awesome performance, I love the Pogues

Shane watching his 'p's and 'q's in "Boys From The County Hell". Phil's not on here of course. Marvellous stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@doublejkso]

arguably the best live whisky you're the devil AND greenland whale fisheries from shane and the pogues on youtube, incroyable! despite the crowd, the crowd is witnessing genius and acting like they were expecting flock of culture club.

[@seanvarden-kenny6938]

the poet in his prime!

[@Donderdrammels]

Fully agree and he is playing the guitar live also the entire time

[@MichaelMAFox]

After this studio performance, they went on to play a gig the same night in Hampstead Town Hall. It was ten times better.

[@87ludivine]

Je suis sous le charme de ce concert des Pogues ; Shane est un poète mais là il ressemble à un fauve qui pousse des rugissements. Quelle énergie ils ont tous ! Et le chapeau va très bien à Shane. J'espère que quelqu'un le lui a dit... J'aurais tellement aimé assister à l'un de ces concerts à cette époque... Shane doit à présent, donner des concerts là où il se trouve, avec ses amis retrouvés. Tu es toujours le meilleur Shane Macgovan ; on ne t'oubliera pas. 🙏❤🎶🙏❤

[@TheNollaigo]

Rip Phil Chevron have this on full blast thanks i'm not drunk yet.... RIP and thanks for all phil

[@dennisyork9366]

nollaigo kelly Phil should always be remembered for his great, gold song; “Thousands Are Sailing”! IMHO one of the most important songs of all. He sang it live on the “Last Concert” w/ Shane w/ The Pogues in Japan. I was glad to see him perform it himself. Absolutely an awesome song which tears at your heart strings. People will be singing it forever.

[@dennisyork9366]

You can find the Shane/Pogues Japanese Last Concert on KZbin, if you care to hear Philip Chevron’s rendition of his song “1,000’s R Sailing.” It’s well worth your time!

[@jeffmurray6219]

@@dennisyork9366 yes indeed Phil was a really lovely fellow, he also worked in rock on records in those days, Im sure he wasn’t part of the band in 84 but he was working with Shane also in the same shop. I still have my copy of thousands are sailing.

[@mod69]

the mighty pogues raw

[@Takac1979]

Philip Chevron (17 June 1957 - 08 October 2013).

[@flashask182]

i would do anything to be in that crowd and they're just standing there.

[@Yickbob]

This looks taped for TV so the audience would have been show regulars rather than diehard Poguers. I can tell you when I saw them in the 80s we went crazy thrash-jigging in DMs. Once someone came down hard on my ankle and I had to be carried out by my mates. I was well annoyed to miss the rest of the gig!

[@Thor1702]

God bless Dhane. We both survived til tonight.

[@pohjolantie7]

R.I.P Phil...

[@KlingKlang13]

what a load of boring hippies in that crowd. Seen them several times here in Seattle and we showed them how much we appreciated them playing here!

[@scotteckert3110]

fucking love this.........

[@brianhughes3690]

magic

[@michelleroberts4476]

Wow

[@bignickslider]

Some of the best screaming/yelling I've ever heard on Waxie's Dargle - sore throats all round?

[@Votedjt2024]

Shane macgowan is very young and very old

[@segdaassolos]

luvya mates

[@AyebeeMk2]

LOL LOL LOL i have seen everything now

[@invincible221]

[@josephcampbell2478]

Shane played the blues on guitar in an interview many years ago to prove a point

[@josephcampbell2478]

If you look on antoine da Caunes interviews I think it's on one

[@kungpuk5186]

Later than 1984 for sure!

[@solncevskiya9850]

[@Splaetos]

and to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore and he was a... mmmm mmm mm mmm mm mmm mmm mm lol. And the crowd does suck. Long live the fucking Pogues!

[@hotty375]

@guitarmaninthedrum Not that well- the 1st time they played the Barras Phil Chevron was with them( as he was at the QMU in May 85) and i remember a load of Celtic fans there :-) I'm gonna try in future to post QMU gig up here
