MORE live?

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.

It was played a few time while Andreas was still playing in the band. Check out some of the 1992 and 1993 setlists. There are some recordings making the rounds.

I saw them do it at Birmingham in 92.
There is a recording, but it isn't the greatest quality.
Cheers.

I had a little chat with Ben before the Luxembourg gig (Esch-Sur-Alzette) and he told me he would love to play More live but Von wasn't keen on playing it. Maybe Ben is able to convince him and we get it live somewhere in the future? I would love to hear a 2007 live version of it ;D

I wanted to direct you to a nice source for this kind of info, but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH http://db.tsom.org/ is down! :eek: :eek: :cry:
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

i suppose Eldritch doesn't think More works well without female background singers?

Maybe for the 2007 tour he should get some :)

aye, i thought the same thing...

the sheer pompousness and scale of the studio version of more relies on the backing vox and string sections.

i dont think it has enough of an underlying song to work stripped down and guitared-up (certainly the few live versions i have heard sounded pretty ropey), unlike the live version of "this corrosion", which is actually a funky beast even without the chiors :|

The strings and choirs should not pose a problem, if only Andrew would hire the right people with the right equipment! ;)

I've got my only live version of it on that Dark Christmas in London boot from 93. Sounds very ropey to me too. I guess you have to have the female backing but I'd like to hear it without.

The backing singer on that boot makes me cringe when she's doing Come Together :urff:

The recording from the Birmingham NEC gig is pretty good actually.

It was a superb gig that one, and when the strings start up the place went bananas.

It was a top gig and indeed it did go mad when the strings started.... I have a boot of it on good old fashioned cassette.

Wouldnt even know where to start to try and get it uploaded onto my computer though :?

I have three live versions of more, and they're coming to an upload site near you :D

I would love to hear the "disaster" that happened during More at Leysin was it? or Loreley? I heard something went terribly wrong :?

The first time it was played live in the UK was NEC 27.06.92 : there was a massive roar when it started. Last time was the final overbombing date (I think) - 22.12.93 in Birmingham.

Wish it would come back, it's a cracker. Then again, the 02-03 shows where they finally brought back Dr Jeep, When You Don't See Me, I Was Wrong, Lucretia et al. after some fairly vocal comments on Dominion and elsewhere indicates that Eldo does listen.

The Birmingham '92 one is truly brilliant. :D From the exhausted reciting at the start to the utter out-of-control howling, a real masterpiece. :notworthy:
