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.
The whole set sparkled, the older stuff and the new stuff meshing well. I hadn't heard 'Suzanne' before but it sat between 'Dominion' and 'Anaconda' brilliantly. 'Ribbons' was at its menacing best, and it was good to see everyone onstage enjoying it.
I just realised that it's now just over 20 YEARS (!) since I first saw the Sisters in Manchester (Feb '82), and have seen them loads of times since- but tonight ranks with the best of them.
Let's hope some of tonight's noises make their way onto official releases soon.
where i was the crowd seemed quite happy n dancey. Including one boy who appeared to be having a fit . But looking around there were some sectons who didnt appear interested..
And one loud mouthed annoying women behind me who did nothing but whinge like a spoilt little brat through out 'i was wrong'.
there where a couple of times when i managed to wander down as far as the second row without having to squeeze past anyone
we where about a third that way back, on the "outside" edge (facing adam) and i felt that we where kind of on the edge of the atmospheric part of th crowd. good view though
the problem with that venue is that its like a bloody aircraft hanger and unless its rammed to capacity you always have huge pockets of empty space dotted around
top gig though
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

Good set from where I was standing, notwithstanding some absent classics. Obviously I'd have liked them to still be playing at 4.30 am but they packed up and buggered off at 10.45.
And Alice was rather better than 'quite good', though I bow to your enterprise in listening to the gig on the phone...

There's nine tracks on that setlist i've never heard of I'm hardly a trainspotter myself No, i just never bought 'Vision Thing'
Any of you guy's up for the moshpit? 4 of us kick ass rock n rollers comin from Manc!
Hope it's a tad smaller than the academy this gig. I never thought of going there coz like one of you said "It's like a hanger" although i've been there countless times. I could of had a ticket the last minute but i couldn't miss my beloved UTD.
Guided by the light and by the catholic monochrome
the songs sounded tight (apart from snub nose)
