Straight Ahead Concert Film April 10, 2008
No Frills- Just Shane fronting the Popes and doing some of the numbers he and the Pogues made classics as well as a few lesser known tunes.
Shane sounds great , the band is solid and the camera angles and film quality is straight ahead- no fancy stuff.
If you're a fan of Shane and the Pogues you'll love it, even as you wish it were the Pogues themselves.
Fantastic! January 31, 2008

 Shane and the Popes Rock Hard September 30, 2005
Great concert for the Shane fans in all of us. Thnks to Montreux. Now if they could just release a video of the Guiness Fleadh concert in NY on Randall's Island. It rained so much that it became a mudbath! Shane still rocked that night. That was awesome!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah December 13, 2004

Shane is in great form here, He even break dances at one point and does some nice go-go dance moves during one tune. The Popes sound great and look like they are having a lot of fun during this show. It's also nice to hear some songs from the first Pogues album as well as a few choice covers. If you love Shane pick up this DVD pour a dark one and enjoy.
