Hello Friends!!!
I enjoyed one of the most important gigs in my country!!!
the cavernousea voice of Andrew Eldritch made me craze and hipnotize me completly a pleasure to listening the first and last and always great opening for the show!!!
Andrew posed his best side infront the stage losing between the smoke foam that covered its body its enigmatica presence, his dark glasses a common as it is used to using it
the unique song that not appeared in all the set list was "this corrosion" maybe is was the most shouted and solicituded by all the audience.
a perfect night for the Sisters of Mercy who is the best band who have the perfect dominion to conquer to us with its excellent avant-garde music.
today the newspapers no published nothing about concert, but i hope tomorrow yes!
next soon i will post many pix that i friend of mine will get for me, because the bad OCESA "organization" didn´t give me the permision to take pix...anyway....the another bad point i want to comment is about the publishers of prodigy-Telmex makes a promo with his subscriptors that have the oportunity to stay in "fila cero" in the concerts.....no comments....many times and many cases, this kind of people who wins the "fila cero", don´t be the real fans of the band who perform there.....
Afortunately i was infront Andrew Eldritch applauding, dancing,singing all the songs!!!, but another real fans of the Sisters of Mercy didn´t have the luck to see Andrew near them....c´est la vié...
Hope Andrew will come back to Mexico soon!!!!
that´s all by the moment, i promise to post more and more about this amazing concert show!!!...unforgetable!!!!
regards!

Thanks a lot. It's good to see such enthusiasm. And good news : When you don't see me is back in the show.
Just one question : was it just On the wire or the usual OTW / Teachers medley ?

It was written on the Tilburg list as just "On The Wire", but was played as OTW/T, so I assume that's implicit now.

I'm glad to see they've dropped Romeo Down and Will I Dream? from the set. Still no War On Drugs though.
