A very Happy New Year to you, Caroline and the boys. XX

Thanks Lee, to you too!

Thought I'd check in to HL and found this going on. Man, I love all you guys.

This guy's story is not accurate.

I edited this post so hopefully it won't derail the thread.

That does sound great

It was a pleasure to chat to Trevor last night at the Enterprise, top man. Started it on my coach back to Leeds on Monday. Couldn’t put it down. Finished already. Absolutely superb. And what a lovely guy Trevor is too. 😊 Great to meet you guys too, thank you. Ruffers, your shirt game is top-notch.

My prediction:

• Continue with one guitarist for the show's they'd hoped to retain Dylan for, with variously Chris or Ravey as nurse...

I was ok with the sound of one guitar. BEst would be to bring back Ravey as nurse and put Chris on bass.

that is an utterly magnificent picture, gents :notworthy: nevermind the subject matter, that's yer cover photo for WFAW v2 right there Trevor 8) From the archives of the BBC " a fine example of the vibrant British music scene, two fans of The Sisters of Mercy in full Gothic regalia pose outsid...

Excellent point

The offending garment

Totally agree on the Barbour jacket thing though. "For example, a posh sounding bloke in a Barbour jacket pushes past me on his way to the front. He’s going to be uncomfortably hot in that jacket….. I really didn’t think that I’d ever see anyone so attired at a Sisters gig." That would ha...

I am an admitted Sisters of Mercy Casual (in fact this post could be titled Confessions of a Sisters of Mercy Casual) who has only been to three gigs – all at that Roundhouse, the first in 2017, the second in 2021 (the Friday) and the third now in 2023 (the Friday again). Good review, thanks Stilt....

Thank you.

Has any great audio source surfaced of this gig yet?

alanm wrote: ↑14 Jun 2023, 07:17 Those others are a fine list of covers indeed. Mark Sinnis is the only one not in my playlist and honestly it could easily be.

Great list. I especially liked the Mother Russia cover.

In addition to that SKOS by Unwoman, these are my favorites. Adrenochrome and Heartland by Lymon Willis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m8G6Eb91Xg&ab_channel=LymonWillis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htWFNtcUaPM&ab_channel=LymonWillis Lucretia by Warrel Dane https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

None of the covers really grab me

I like this one though I'll admit it's not for everyone:

Maybe next time a second night could be arranged, night two in the same venue generally tends to iron out the hiccups from night one. New York probably deserves that, though Von may not share that opinion of course. A two-night Kings Theater residency every year like he does at The Roundhouse would...

There was a comical Jeep/Det in which Eldritch missed his cue and never got it back so some asshole chucked a can on the stage. Eldritch kicked it back into the audience and ended the song by saying something like "interesting."

Oh, SinSister. I didn't know you changed your name. Yeah, too bad we didn't get to say hi. We'll definitely do it in 15 more years for the next tour.

Yes, there is a high voice in that clip, and that voice is Ben's singing voice.

The Doc doesn't do any backing vocals. Ben sings backing in a few songs in a lower voice than normal (like Marian) and it sounds a bit like it's doubling Andrew's voice. That was my observation. So the "falsetto" (as Hubs described it) in some of the songs was Ben or Dylan, then? Also: YO...

Philly was a great, fun, LOUD gig.
