Top Nite Out

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.

Criminally, this barnstormer has so far avoided my compo cds. Obviously unacceptable, so, who better to ask....which is the best quality, energy/atmos/recording-wise boot of this unsung Sisters classic?

IMO i.e. what comes to mind at once.

Smoke On Mirrors boot
Amsterdam 2003 recording
Brussels 2006 second gig

Others as well....

They're all pretty effing stonking, so go for sound quality instead. :)

The excellent quality Near Meth recording from 2006 would get my vote.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It's a pretty safe bet whichever gigs they were played at you'll have them anyway. :wink:

anyone who was in Lokeren in 2005 will agree that was the best version ever (I don't now about the bootleg)
