Your ideal Sisters Of MERCY setlist......

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.

:eek: Blimey! Seconded.. I somehow missed the nicely grotesque yet most entertaining and genius cover section during the silver bullet tour. I still think Ballroom Blitz would be a nice one, too. Maybe for finishing the concert:

Firestarter
Top Night Out
Ballroom Blitz

then lights on, the ambulance entering to collect the victims of the wild party.

Tricky this, Motz was closest so far,

Afterhours(intro)
Comfortably Numb/Some Kind of stranger (the best opening song by some distance)
FALAA (the 2nd best ...)
Ribbons
Alice
Dominion (getting too many 'big numbers' played early?)
BodyElectric (this is the same as the NEC '92 so far)
Summer
Suzanne
Crash+Burn (although this would be a good last song)
Lucretia (with live bass)
Emma (well if the bass is out ...)
Rome Down
Marian
Vision Thing
------------------
Top Nite Out
This Corrosion
TOL
------------
Floorshow (possibly swap in order with C+B)


I'm surprised Romeo Down and Marian got in. I must have missed some I really like out. I'd add Jolene, but playing that AND Emma is probably too much.

Bugger, I forgot Lucretia and On The Wire.

Okay here's my attempt, difficult with only 19 tracks (Sorry had to ditch Adrenochrome, would have fitted it in if I had another 2 tracks)

Intro - Jihad

1 - Kiss The Carpet
2 - Crash & Burn
3 - Body Electric
4 - Ribbons
5 - Body & Soul
6 - Valentine
7 - Summer
8 - (We Are The Same) Susanne
9 - More
10 - Blood Money
11 - Burn
12 - Marian
13 - Alice
14 - Temple Of Love
15 - Lucreta My Reflection

16 - I Was Wrong (The version with no drums)
17 - First & Last & Always
18 - Vision Thing

19 - Jolene

Constructed with the mosh pit in mind, it should allow for adequate jumping around, with some slower tracks at intervals so you can get your breath back. I've replaced newer tracks and tracks from Floodland with older ones, but there is a good spread of tracks from all era's.

[With a larger set list I'd have included, On The Wire/Teachers, Floorshow, Dominion, Adrenochrome, Confide In Me, Top Nite Out]

I'm tempted to make a compilation of this now :lol:

Did I not mention that all setlists sans Never Land (whatever version) were also disqualified?

No Adrenochrome. Disqualified!!!

(Otherwise it's major groovy)
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Any songs, in any order, where you can hear the singer. So that there Novarock gig will do, maybe with a Heartland or an Adrenochrome thrown in for good measure.

None of which are Sisters songs, all of which Never[Characters inserted to embolden for emphasis in lieu of a method for highlighting spaces]Land (a fragmented jazz-funk odyssey) thoroughly pummels into the ground.

I would much rather have those three than Will I Dream, Alice and FALAA. Though Never Land (a fragment) would be nice.

Pass. Borderline. Provided a lack of Mr Christo.
Fail. A Sisters gig without Alice is like a neutron lacking a Quark.
Fail. Quite possibly the most uber g0ff sing-along until Flood 1.
