My favorite Von shout is...

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 agree. Floorshow shouts are by far the better. :)

The Dominion 12" version of "Emma" gets my first vote (the cover having been recorded live - in one take! :eek: ).

My second vote also goes to the mighty "Floorshow" :von:

I still think the version of Emma from the Lyceum 31st Ocober 1984 is still one of the better versions. Mind you, could be bias, that was the first time I heard that song.

I'm not a huge fan of Vision Thing but I do like it when Von shouts the sing in "what does it take to make us... SING!" when they do it live...
