New songs (old question, I'm sure)

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I realize this has probably been asked to death, but for the sake of convenience, can someone add to or confirm this list of new songs the Sisters have been playing for the past few years?

Summer
We are the Same, Susanne
War on Drugs
Romeo Down
Will I Dream?
Top Nite Out/Snub Nose
Crash and Burn
Slept
Emma/Uptown Ranking
Come Together (Not a cover! Not! Not! Not!)
Comfortably Numb/Some Kind of Stranger (cover/original combo)

Did I miss anything? I'm trying to just assemble a single disc from a few different live sources to tide me over until the new album comes out (you know, when we're all dead and someone finds the DAT in Andy's coffin or something).

Edit: Okay, I added the suggested tracks. I will add some quality recordings of said songs as I find them. I know a few are on the superior Visions at the Forum, but I'm not sure which right this second.[/b][/b]

I've been tryin' to compile these songs too for a "new CD" wet dream. I'm too lazy, however. Could anyone be so extremely nice to post what are the best available versions?

Thanks a lot!!!

I've been thinking about this too actually. I know there are quite a few people on here who know most of the recordings from recent years.
A list of which are the best versions of the best songs would be great.

[I won't mention that there are also some who fiddle about with cleaning up said recordings and a nice "re-mastered" collection in the weeding section would be even greater]

I'll bump this just for Andy's sake.

Does anyone know where some of the better versions of these songs are available? Just add them to the thread and I'll edit them to the original post. Example:
Will I Dream? - Visions at the Forum
Romeo Down - 8 August 2005 at Belgium

Those are arbitrary, but you get the idea.

Best version of Slept is from Frankfurt 2003 according to me. Though I haven't heard all bootlegs from that tour..


Btw, Come Together is not a cover.

Slept at Frankfurt 03 is still the best to me too.
In fact, its still the best sounding boot (apart from Visions At The Forum... again) of all the new stuff I think.
Crash & Burn so sounds so clean its unreal, same for Romeo Down.

Best boot I've heard, as I've said before, is "Exile On Euphoria" from 2000. Top Nite Out (Numbers Called) is the best I've ever heard it.

How much of a cover is Bei Mir Bist Du Schön really? Can it be counted as a new song.. ?

Never heard the original, but to me it seems as much a Sisters song as Under the Gun, sort of.

What about Teachers - does it sound as a cover for you?

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön sure is a cover (Andrew Sisters)! It's still on the radio every now and then.

Von himself doesn't regard UTG a cover. In an interview I read that he regards it as being re-written by himself.

I think some pretty good versions of the new songs can be found on Amsterdam 2003. An almost perfect clear sound IMO. I think it's "remastered" though.
I love the combi-cover Emma/Uptown Top Ranking. It's a must have as I doubt that they will ever perform it again.

I kind of regard Giving Ground a new song. I know it's performed by the Sisterhood but written by Eldritch. It's his song and not released on a Sisters' thingy (yet?).

Of course he's going to say UTG isn't a cover. If it was, he'd have to pay them for it.

Which is why he cunningly credited the song to the writers of Two Worlds Apart and himself :roll:

*gasping for air*

"Bei mir bist du schön" is (as ozpat pointed out) of course and by all means a cover. IMHO even the most stunning and style-wise furthest away TSOM cover. I knew the Andrews Sister version long before I heard sissies cover.

have a look:

lovely, innit?

Cripes! They've got 'Sisters Backing Vocalists' written all over them.

Although they may need digging up first.

The "second part" of the song is great IMO.

Pay? For releasing it? What about 1669 (SGWBM), Emma (B-side Dominion), Knocking On Heaven's Door (Live bootleg version on Dr.Jeep)
Did he have to pay?

wot Mr. Fiend said. Cover songs dont generate any income on royalities, because the money is paid to the orginal composers/writers and their publisher.
