We are The Sisters of Mercy and we are a rock and roll band

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'm looking for a stonking recent (post-96) version of Body Electric, where Von says at the beginning "We are the Sisters..." I have no idea which gig it is, but BE apparently was the opener that night.
Any idea folks ?

I have an '82 boot where Eldritch says "We're the Sisters Of Mercy! This one *mumbles for about 10 seconds* FLOORSHOW!!!"

So energetic. :lol:

Didn't he start that show by saying "We are The Verve"?

Since they were flown in to replace The Verve...

I'll upload this particular version to megaupload.com so that a kind soul can try to recognize it. :innocent:
