another quality turn by the girls! Love the variety in the setlist these days. Different first songs ever night Police car and Blood money dropped in favour of Kiss and Gift that Shines. And set list and encores mixed up. Tonight seemed mucb better paced than last night, particularly storming Domini...

LOL, what a surprise.. Jo Ward to ‎The Sisters Of Mercy Facebook Group 1 min · What the hell was going on with the sound in Leeds tonight? No end of feedback and ridiculously quiet. Disappointed for the first time ever. Well.. I'm interested in other people's opinions too... Quite often ther...

Re:filming. The Glasgow gig was basically a warm up gig for the tour, perhaps the band didn't want footage of possible forgotten verses , bum notes and sound problems circulating. More likely Von had a bad hair day. In fairness, there's no reason a jobsworth loves to give for running someone else b...

Wow. That's pretty impressive setlist! Love that Valentine and Summer are back and 1959/ Jihad?!?! Roll on Leeds! Just goes to show that while the girls might not be releasing records they still aren't just a pure nostalgia show (...and yes i am aware of the irony in claiming that playing songs that...

Watched it on the red button. Loving the street hassel intro o Temptation. Pretty fuckin awesome

Nice call Nikolas! 10 years - how time flies eh?

He definitely has been a breath of fresh air and an all round top bloke. Happy Anniversary Chris - thanks for the gigs!

looking good and sounding great

A damn fine source of all things Sisters related and more... but here's a great live compilation of most of the new* unreleased stuff... http://darkcircleroom4.blogspot.ie/2014/03/re-upload-sisters-of-mercy-good-things.html?m=0 (* the definition of new has become very elastic over the years... :inno...

A bit dissappointed with this. Have been getting all the Velvets deluxe boxsets over the last few Christmass & would have hoped for more. The album and the ep's is just a missed opportunity. Why not throw in a few demo's/out-takes alternate mixes, and maybe Tiffanies or the RAH? As someone said, if ...

Suprised, considering they're doing Scotland that they haven't added Belfast when last years gig there was an absolute belter...

Torn between doing this and Belgium. Never seen a great Sisters gig in London but any Belgian have been fantastic...

Accommodation booked - and this time, might bring the kids! You might as well as 12 euros each ... http://suikerrock.tickoweb.be Accommodation seems clearly more difficult. Yes, and if you're not driving it makes sense to get somewhere in or as near to Tienen as possible. Last time, we made the mis...

Fabulous find!

Whatever about the merits or reasons, it's funny to see that if you replace the attitude about doing gigs to releasing records, very little has changed over the intervening years!

While I have loved every incarnation of the band, to me the greatest incarnation is Gary, Craig & Benn. But without Mr Marx - there is nothing. I personally admire that Eldritch has - so far anyway - The Sisters have never drifted backwards into the nostalgia market of classic album tours or origina...

It's crashing hard on the end of Feb and there hasn't been any gig speculation? (Or was it somewhere else and i missed it?)

I doubt there'll be a significant tour (at least i Europe) but maybe the odd Belgian, German or further afield festival would be nice...

Any know or at least care to guess?!

Great piece! I really enjoyed that. Funny to think of them playing their respective 'Alice's' too each other! I was always curious if there was any overlap between the two. Nice to hear him talk so generous about those times and Andrew, especially when there's no obvious mention of him getting a pr...

Nick Cave 08ish? No Blixa - no point!

I like it But then I like anything by BOWIE - I even like "Tonight" But I especially like stuff that is a bit on the edge - a bit Outside Same here ... I like everything from Young Americans to Baal and from The Man Who Sold The World to Reality or more recently The Next Day ... ;D ... This track i...

I like it But then I like anything by BOWIE - I even like "Tonight" But I especially like stuff that is a bit on the edge - a bit Outside I like, no love, everything too. Absolutely everything he's ever done - but this... I liked it to a point - the 60's soundtrack-ish jazz feel wasn't too bad unti...

Dont think its been mentioned before but the 7" of Lucretia is an edit. Most obviously at the fadeout but the also the line '... a long, long, long train (train)" is cut...

Saw these when they supported The Sisters on the 09 jaunt around Europe. Very good band and very nice guys...

Sounds an interesting project too

Yes, I understand that. Actually the Sisters also compose some new music (though not very often) and they play it live… exclusively live. I’ve been thinking about it recently… e.g. DM releases a new album every 4th year with, let's be honest, 2 good songs, otherwise they live from the songs o...

It was fun :D I've only slept a very few hours so gonna keep it short, but the things to remember about this one was the return of Lisa on backings for some songs (Arms, Corrosion, Temple, maybe some more?) and the fact that Andrew seemed happy as a schoolboy because of that (how he picked up her m...

I tend to lurk rather than post here, but its clear from lurking for a while that the fans over 44 who knew the Sisters when they were a functioning band pre Floodland are consistently disappointed by the current product, where as the younger fans are pretty happy. Not saying one is wrong or right,...
