The Pogues – Migrants on the Home Front: Live in Dublin, 1985 (12-Inch Double-LP on Red Vinyl)

This double album showcases showcases the Pogues’ legendary gig at McGonagle’s, in Dublin, on 1 March 1985, in its entirety.

Playing each song as if it is their last, here the Pogues tear through classics such as Sally MacLennane, A Pair of Brown Eyes, Streams of Whiskey, Boys from the County Hell and many more.

Perversion, anger, chaos, drunkenness, stumbling, falling, ferociousness, honesty, brilliant… just some of the words The Irish Times used to review the Pogues’ first ever home game at the iconic McGonagle’s in Dublin.
