The radio version of "Gin Lane, Beer Street" has unmodified sound and is missing The Broad Majestic Shannon. Also, the songs in the middle of the set are in a different order.



"Gin Lane, Beer Street"
01-Mar-95
The Gino, Stockholm, Sweden
50 min. Swedish FM Radio

If I Should Fall From Grace With God / Donegal Express / Nancy Whiskey / A Pair Of Brown Eyes / Popes Instrumental (labeled "Battle Of Brisbane") / The Church Of The Holy Spook / Greenland Whale Fisheries / A Rainy Night In Soho / Dark Streets Of London / The Body Of An American / The Broad Majestic Shannon / The Irish Rover / Sally MacLennane / Sayonara / White City / Boys From The County Hell

The "Gin Lane, Beer Street" commercial Bootleg CD (Booze 2002) was made from the Swedish radio broadcast, although the sound has been modified with extra bass added. The CD also includes four songs from the 17-Mar-94 Clapham Grand show: "Love's Been Good To Me (mis-labelled "I Have Been A Rover") , "King Of The Bop" , "Poor Paddy" (mis-labelled ""Working On The Railway") and "Fairytale Of New York" - see Shane MacGowan Bootlegs 1994.

A 10 inch acetate of "Gin Lane, Beer Street" also exists with 6 songs: If I Should Fall From Grace With God, Donegal Express, Nancy Whiskey, A Pair of Brown Eyes, Popes Instrumental, The Church of The Holy Spook. Only 5 copies were made by an unknown manufacturer (the record label states "Proppe")

The version of "I'll Be Your Handbag" is just great here!

26-Apr-95
The White Room (Ch4 TV, UK)
x min.
with James McNally (accordian)

Donegal Express

This song appears on the 8 track bootleg album "Shane O'Hooligan: The Last Living Hellraiser - Rare TV Performances, which was issued by an unknown manufacturer (no catalogue number) in April 2006. Apparently, only 25 copies were made, 5 on clear vinyl and 20 on black vinyl. The album comes in a plain sleeve with a harp sticker on the front. The other 7 tracks were sourced from the following TV shows: 07-Oct-94 The Late Late Show; 13-Oct-95 Most Wanted; 18-Feb-00 The Late Late Show; 21-Nov-03 The Dunphy Show; 31-Dec-03 Jools Holland's Hootenanny; 17-Mar-06 The Late Late Show. Also circulates on video (see Videos).

21-May-95
Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, England
5 min.

De Anna

This Nick Cave song is sung by one of the Popes, but you can hear Shane on backup vocals. It sounds like it's at the end of a show, so a full 21-May-95 Shane MacGowan & The Popes show probably exists. If anyone has a copy of the full show, please let me know.


05-Jun-95
Pinkpop Festival, Landgraaff, The Netherlands
25 min. FM Radio / Television

Cracklin' Rosie (beginning missing) / I'll Be Your Handbag / Greenland Whale Fisheries / The Broad Majestic Shannon / Dark Streets Of London (Paul McGuinness vocals) / If I Should Fall From Grace With God (Paul McGuinness vocals) / Sally MacLennane (Bernie France vocals)

Shane is more wasted here than on any bootleg I've ever seen or heard. He barely stumbles through the first 4 songs, then is lead off stage by his manager, Charlie MacLennan. Paul McGuinness takes over and attempts to sing a few songs, followed by Bernie France - unfortunately neither of them know the lyrics.

Also circulates on video (see Videos).

A great show - but then shows around Christmas time are almost always good. This is the closest known bootleg to Shane's birthday.
