Well, I immediately had the same impression Euphoria of Ben being very bored.
Look how he wrinkles his forehead :lol:

It's very nice to see the band in this rather unusual situation.
Did you notice how clear the pictures are? :lol:

Thank you very much, tailao, for sharing this with us :notworthy:

This Is My Favourite Place On The Planet
So declared Eldritch last night in Sao Paulo.

And there were thousands there to respond with gratitude and love to his words.

Never, in the last 16 years, have I seen a Sisters audience so ready to party. 5000 black clad Brazilians waiting in a line we jumped on Via Funchal for the return of a band that had crashed through the city 15 years previously, but were happy enough to be seen drinking in a bar in Vila Madelena the night before, in the winter here in altitudinous Brazil, where the night-time temperature can drop to 10 degrees.

Every movement by the roadcrew, observed through the ever increasing smoke billowing from the stage was met by hugely ecstatic cheers, until, finally, about 55 minutes since the first Brazilian devotees filed up the stairs to the huge dancefloor, the lights above us went out and the band hit the stage, bathed in blue and purple light.

Crash And Burn greeted the assembled throng - which caused slight problems in that it has never been released officially, so has the quality of a "fans only" tune, having the need to be identified on and downloaded off the net. "Do I Drive - Or Am I Driven?" is a fantastic line, combing angst, melody and a hard rock edge, but isn't necessarily the crowd pleaser to open up with - though to old hands like me it becomes more awesome every time I hear it.

The Sister's current set combines a great deal of 1990's Vision Thing album (Dr Jeep, Detonation Boulevard, When You Don't See Me, Ribbons and Something Fast - 5 out of 8 album tracks played) with a lot of never released stuff paraded in front of live audiences from 97 onwards - Romeo Down (this time a hugely powerful, screaming, demanding, soothing dream of a tune) Summer, Will I Dream, a gorgeous - every bit as good as the download- Susanne, Slept and Still.

A few of the regular enormously crowdpleasing Floodland tracks made it in - Flood, Dominion/Mother Russia, This Corrosion, which, although unnanounced and very unheralded - remember the days of the screaming guitar intro - really got the crowd moving and singing This Corrosion to him, and a version of Lucretia that sounds increasingly like the Love Like Blood version, with a bit of Rock Guitar thrown in over the chorus, but extremly muddy opening which should be all booming bass and whisper.

Not a single song from FALAA. Not one. Even the title track gets excluded, which in the past has been the herald of the show.

A hugely fat and rocky Anaconda, increasingly becoming a staple, an as usual shorn off Temple Of Love,and Alice in her party dress, from the Sisterhood's Gift to us a beautifully slow Giving Ground, the thrash instrumental Top Nite Out which the new guitarists seem to love to death, and they were off after the 80 minute two encore performance into the darkness behind the lines.

Smoky enough, but not anywhere loud as it should be. I never want to hear as I buy a bootleg TShirt outside of a gig.

Strangely unsatisfying.

Which, in the light of another cold day here just under the Equator, is probably exactly as it should be.

Tailão of mercy say...
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing ...

On daze, like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to haunch on bended knees
Living on if and if I tried,
Somebody send me ... please ...
Dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in
Selling the don't belong
Well, what do you say
D'you have a word fro Giving Away?
Got a song for me?

Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing ...

I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, i won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold
The highered hand
On heart
hand of God
Floodland and Driven Apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold
Burn
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand

Tailao, I love the band too, ever since the first jangle of Temple of Love, and the first crashing chord of Afterhours.
But I can't just close my brain and say every show is as good as every other show.
In parts, Sexta Feira was fantastic, a real party, good modern set list, still that of a band in progress rather than a greatest hits cabaret act, and personnel who are obviously having a great time.
But it wasn't the best gig I've ever seen them play. Gotta be honest. Definitely not loud enough. I don't expect them to be Motorhead, and my ears should not be raw inside and rattling like after a double whammy encore of Orgasmatron and The Ace of Spades, but I do not want to hear the bloke next to me either.
All round, a good night, but I can't wait to see them again.

I think that's a new record for digital cameras and phones in a venue :)

Once again, can someone post a link for a downloadable version of the vid?

Cheers,
