How many gigs have you seen?....

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.

Only three so far,

1990 Wembley Arena, was quite a good gig sound-wise but I got well p!ssed off cos some cnut in fron of me held his arm up all through the gig, obviously taping it (I hope the quality was SH!T!) As if it wasn't bad enough being seated in the back section miles from the action!

1997 Brixton Academy, sound was great, I was in great company and had a great ninght but the Academy is one of my favourite venues.

2006 UEA Narrichh, small but fantastic venue, a little too pissed, danced (read p!ssed bobbing!) through most of the set and had a fantastic time. There were a few songs I didn't recognise but overall, to be in the live experience again was excellent!

Just looking forward to a new album and tour!

No, numero 150! His 100th was a few years ago now I think. Speedy Dave's been touring on a regular basis since the 80s and I think he's done almost as many dates as the band :notworthy:
Dave´s 100th was in munich 03-03-2001.
Hmm, then we had the wrong cake, or I remember it wrongly, I'll have to check with the pics :lol:

It must be great - 150+ gigs he must have saved a lot of money. Perhaps now he's independently wealthy :lol:

Actually, I'm wondering that, myself. He's a bit of a legendary figure on the Dominion list - one of the old guard, if I'm not mistaken...

@Eldo69: how is ol' SpeedyD these days, anyway?

They were by far the best band I have seen in years. I was fortunate to be in London on the day. It should have lasted hours and hours :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
