TO HELL, WHICH IS CIRCULAR ALL AROUND

Different vibe at this Pogues show than there was back in 2006. I wouldn’t say it was subdued, but it was relatively laid back.

The crowd on the floor back in 2006 looked like white water—it rose and fell and chucked and sprayed.

This time around, the floor was marked by a few enthusiasts, but nothing too aggressive.

Telling quote, from Dude #1 to Dude #2, re Dude #3, directly in front of us upstairs: “I promised his wife I wouldn’t let him go down on the floor.”
