Glad to hear they pumped up the volume; couldn't have imagined a Sisters-concert as a lounge experience !

I had secretly hoped for a shift in the setlist though.... silly me.

Hallo to all!
Sisters strikes once more in Thessaloniki today :D
I was there ofcourse :wink:

So, setlist was almost the same with the Athens/Sporting Gig
One difference only "I was wrong" took the place of "Something fast" in extra time... :)
The sound was better than i expected and i was expecting good sound....
Perfect Gig for Video or Sound recording....
The hall was 1/5 the size of Sporting Arena [those who were there will understand the size] and everyone was very close to the stage...
Better sound was undoubtly because this place was built exactly for this purpose, live performances and not basketball games....
Sisters had better performance than the Athens Gig 8) 8)
Excellent quitaristic solos, little bit different in Dominion/Mother Russia and DrJeep/Detonation Boulevard

P.S.1 - Merchandize was an unknown word in Thessaloniki's gig too :innocent:
P.S.2 - Didi music and Big Star promotions still sucks, they didn't have coffee :( only alcohol omg.... :P

it's the same with the Athens concert exception is the city name and the name of the place :)
i will scan it when i will return to Athens and post it here

wow, I Was Wrong would be amazing to hear at a gig! I'm making my Astoria wishlist already from what I've seen of other setlists on the tour!
so far When You Don't See Me, Burn and I Was Wrong are on there...and the obvious Vision Thing!
I suppose it would be silly to wish for Driven Like The Snow or a Rock and a Hard Place despite them not appearing as of yet :innocent:
But I wonder if saving up silly ammounts of money to buy merchandise will be pointless...seems like it from what everyone has been saying :(

Black Planet would be cool aswell but knowing my luck von is hovering around on HL and will note these songs down just so he can be an arse and make sure they aren't in the set! :lol: :lol: :lol:

they didn't play "When you don't see me" :s
and "i was wrong" performed only in 2/4 gig in Thessaloniki :)
as for the tickets.... as you can see it has some holes in it that makes as read numbers like "1177-....."
this is from the ministry of economics....this number is unique per ticket and helps collect the taxes...
to have such number holes you need big paper so.... ;)
