Crystal Palace 1993 comments?

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.

When Pip Dann asked Andrew to pick videos for a Postmodern show (was it?) he chose a Depeche song and mentioned he liked Martin Gore, for being very pervy.

I was at Zeebrugge. Moments before Depeche Mode's intro started the heavens opened, thunder & lighning and pissing it down with rain. Then DM's intro started which seemed to include recorded sounds of thunder and lights to simulate lighning, but it was vastly overshadowed by the real thing. I endured the weather for about 2 songs then a bunch of us legged it back to the coach.
Zeebrugge was much better and definitely where the 'day at the beach stuff started'. Weirdest location for a festival though..
And the sight of 30-odd goths in dripping wet leather on the ferry home was f**king hilarious! :twisted:

One of the best things about Zeebrugge Beach festival for the sisters fan was the "sand trowing" at te ABBA look alike group "BJORN AGAIN" and at Hans Otten, who announced the bands... :D

The Best thing for VON was the fact that he did not have to look at his fans, he stared at the ocean for the whole concert.

Yes, I think he said something to the effect that there should be more perverts in the charts. :lol:

Remember this well! The Sisters were bloody brilliant, i loved that show, as for DM, this was the during the period the lead singer was out of his head on Smack, and it really was abysmal watching him (which wasnt for long in my case). As i seem to remember when dm came on there were huge white banners or curtains hanging on stage and the lead singer got his self tangled up in them, im sure it wasnt meant to happen, but anyways when he opened his mouth to sing he sounded crap!

Republica at CP? Nah, I'd have remembered that. :innocent: I don't think they came into existence til later than 93, could be wrong though. They were marv supporting the Fun Lovin Criminals at Leeds Poly in the mid 90s.

CP supports - aye caramba, now you're taxing the memory banks. One of Jah Wobble's outfits on first, can't for the life of me remember their name. Not bad really, they supported U2 at Rounhay in the same year. And some rap s**t. :lol:

I know what you mean. I quite like afew of their songs, but boy did they put me off 'em at CP. :urff: The singer sounded like a bad Ian Astbury tribute, hilariously fake yank accent and all. Naff.

He's definitely got that Astbury habit of bawling out "well, THANK YOU!" at the the end of every number. :|

Musically, I think they can be pretty good :oops:

Black Celebration is one of the greatest albums of the 80's. I'd actually put it marginally ahead of First and Last and Always in my list. However, the Mode have never done anything as good as Floodland.

Of their last three albums, the latest is great, the two before them were, in Von's understated terms, "very dreary".
