Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

yah, if it still fits. I've got a cupboard full of old T's, compulsive gig-shirt-purchaser, but i'm a bit taller nowadays, and my navel isn't pierced so there's a certain reluctance to wearing them in public

and although there's 3 1/2 hours in the rush set they apparently very decently let us have an intermission to empty our catheter bags

I have the same shirt-buying problem, but I wear this one regularly, so I know it still fits. :) And apparently I'm done growing (vertically, at least), so I don't have to worry about that. But just in case, I actually have the exact same shirt in the next size up as well because I love it so much.

Hope you're close to the bathrooms or the intermission's long enough to get to the front of the line--one of the downsides of being female. :(

:lol: I usually spent all my money at the bar. Think the worst was buying 2 pints of wine at the Manchester Acadamy , which buggered me from buying anything else or even being able to speak for the entire gig.

Yes, Rush. Saw them in 78, my first gig. It was fckin LOUD, couldn't hear much for 2 days after, just.........shhhhhhhhhhh. I lost interest after around 1980. Recently bought the Rio gig on dvd as it was going cheap. Very good and 3 hours long. Excellent band live, they sound heavier on stage. I know Geddy Lee sings at the opposite end of the spectrum to Eldritch but they do have that something about them even though they sound a lot like old school rock. Respect

Yes, 2112 came out around 75 I think. I saw them at Colston Hall, Bristol. Met some of their road crew in a pub round the corner before the gig.
