Pogues Bootlegs 1985
Many people consider 1985 to be one of the best live years for the Pogues

xx-xx-85
French Radio
15 min.

A Pair Of Brown Eyes / Waxie's Dargle / Streams Of Whiskey / Muirshin Durkin


11-Jan-85
The Tube (Ch4 TV, UK)

Also circulates on video (see Videos).


22-Jan-85
The Cricketers, Kennington, London, England
54 min.

Greenland Whale Fisheries / Repeal Of The Licensing Laws / Boys From The County Hell / Whiskey You're The Devil / Kitty / Dark Streets Of London / Transmetropolitan / Sally MacLennane / Navigator (cut off) / The Auld Triangle / Dingle Regatta / Poor Paddy / Battle Of Brisbane / Waxie's Dargle / The Band Played Waltzing Matilda / Muirshin Durkin

Very good audience recording. Spider doesn't appear to be very happy with the crowd - he insults and teases them.

Muirshin Duirkin from this show is included on the "One Summer Evening" 10 inch black vinyl EP which was issued in a plain black sleeve with a track list insert and Pogues sticker. Pressed in very limited numbers by an unknown manufacturer in 2001.

aka "Trinity College"

Greenland Whale Fisheries / Repeal Of The Licensing Laws / Boys From The County Hell / Whiskey You're The Devil / Transmetropolitan / A Pair Of Brown Eyes / Dark Streets Of London / Streams Of Whiskey / Sally MacLennane / The Auld Triangle / Kitty / Dingle Regatta / Poor Paddy / Battle Of Brisbane / Waxie's Dargle / The Band Played Waltzing Matlida / Muirshin Durkin / Boys From The County Hell

The Pogues first Dublin show was scheduled to take place at Trinity College, however, due to a last minute ban, the gig was switched to McGongales. Recordings of this show circulate under a variety of names and dates, including: "Trinity 01-Mar-85" with 13 songs; "McGonagles Feb-85" with 15 songs and "McGonagles Feb-85" with 18 songs. Sometimes the songs appear in a different order. I believe the above songlist is the "true" order. Anyway, if you have a bootleg from around this time where Spider says "We need to make a slight adjustment to the sound" just before "Whiskey You're The Devil" - it's this show.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda from this show is included on the "One Summer Evening" 10 inch black vinyl EP which was issued in a plain black sleeve with a track list insert and Pogues sticker. Pressed in very limited numbers by an unknown manufacturer in 2001.

The earliest surviving St. Patrick's Day show. This show is just one example of how songs like "The Auld Triangle" sound much better than their studio counterpart.

The perfect bootleg for a rugby fan! The football songs "Grand Old Team" and "Glory Glory What A Helluva Way To Die" have no instrumentation - they are short chants led by the Pogues.

Greenland Whale Fisheries / Repeal Of The Licensing Laws / Boys From The County Hell / Whiskey You're The Devil / Transmetropolitan / A Pair Of Brown Eyes / Streams Of Whiskey / Dark Streets Of London / Sally MacLennane / Kitty / Navigator / Dingle Regatta / Poor Paddy (with echo) / Battle Of Brisbane / Waxie's Dargle / Muirshin Durkin / Transmetropolitan / The Band Played Waltzing Matilda / Lachend, lachend, lachend (German verse recited by Andrew Ranken) / Streams Of Whiskey / Jesse James (Spider Stacy vocals)

One of the best early shows! The show circulates on CDR as "Vorsprung durch Alkohol" and features the first 16 songs - this version usually has perfect sound quality, but is missing the last 4 songs and much of the chat between songs. The full 71 min. show also circulates on but is usually poorer sound quality. Shane quote: "Happy danka Germany"

A Pair Of Brown Eyes from this show is included on the "One Summer Evening" 10 inch black vinyl EP which was issued in a plain black sleeve with a track list insert and Pogues sticker. Pressed in very limited numbers by an unknown manufacturer in 2001.

The date of this show is always listed as Nov-86. However, this cannot be right as Cait left the band in mid 1986. Given the similarity of the set list, I beleive that this show took place in Nov 1985. If anyone has accurate information about this show, please let me know.
