during the concert he was in heart-shaped glasses
and passing to the car he wore just a bit coloured ones
HE STILL GOT EYES, I SAW THEM :eek:
i asked Ben whether he ever seen Von without glasses and the answer was "yes"
but it was said that he takes them off only at the special occasions, Christmas, for example

And hopefully when he goes to bed too, when he hits the shower...

If he does such things at all. :twisted:

hmm, i wonder: what's more important for The Sisters Of Mercy fan - to see Von's eyes or to see his underpants?

btw there was a dj playing after the gig - about an hour or less
there were tracks from The Cure (Jumping Someone Else's Train), Joy Division (Love Will Tear Us Apart), Siouxsie and The Banshees (Happy House), TSOM tracks (Heartland, Lucretia My Reflection, something else - almost all remixed)
but the funniest fact is that the first song to play was by The m*****n :lol:

the crowd was hot - as always - we're wild Russians, remember that :wink:
Ben said that was an amazing show, one of the best this year
Europeans are usually cold and sleepy
only Spanish and Italians got the similar reaction :notworthy:
well, Eldrew Von Andritch even applaused at the end
that was considered to be a rare reaction from him
the sound was OK, but some people at our forums claim it wasn't
anyway, i was satisfied
we could hear all the mumbling and singing
great
but everyone agrees that the light was fantastic
as i know there was own band's light technician, so it was operated perfectly
i should thank him, too
the venue is large
i liked it
the beer costed 200 RUR (about 6 EU), so there were much sober people :lol:
the venue is planned for 4000 people and there were 1000-1500, i guess
Andrew's voice is OK
even mumbling was the juicy baritone, so we really enjoyed it
the only disappointment was that he vonned us off, but we can probably stand that
i repeat: the show was great
it was hard to understand any liners, they were almost "thank you" and song annoucements kinda "Aliccccccccce..."
in the beginning he said "Welcome to the...", but didn't say to what :lol:
Ben once said "Spasibo" ('thanks' in Russian)
btw they guessed my wish (yeah, it's mysterious...): i don't like "sheeeee wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill" in Anaconda
my ears prefer an original variant
and they sung "she will she will she will she will" as in the older days
and only couple times the long line
also: when the band departed, Chris went down the stairs to us and we thought he'll pass immediately, so i asked him only 5 seconds to take a pic
he told then: "one... two... three... four... five... i go!" and went somewhere :lol:
of course, he returned
damn funny ;D
yeah, and i should say Ben is a very kind person
we had a conversation before and after the gig
it seems i was the only person to recognize him, when he walked in the audience :lol:
so he seems to be antiVon :innocent:

No, skin coloured :lol:

anyway, a venue that can allow 4000 people to go mad and welcome 1500 - wasn't it very empty ?
