Sisters played Suikerrock

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.

One of my top-5 songs of all time, and, from what I hear in the recordings (thanks, btw), they butcher it beyond comprehension. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Glad I missed it.

So am I last to check -in? :lol: figures.

Sorry to have missed meeting up, sounds like you had a good time despite my absence :P .

Saw some poncy outfit wailing away and the lame ass presidents who impressed no-one, the tiny bits of Scabs I saw was good before I was blown away by The Sisters show, as my 1st time seeing them live I can't compare shows this was rock & roll. I went to find the attitude I hear in songs on stage so no dissapointments on that score

Did some kind of dummy or rubbish get kicked off the stage by Chris or Ben? I couldn't see :von: then thought he was sat/crouched on the edge of the stage before someone kicked whatever it was off :eek:

This being my first won't be my last, though I don't think it will be always :innocent: definitely worth repeating/singing along too

I was despairing that there would be no proper version of the legendary moment of this gig... but you did it :notworthy: Now every Sisters fan in the world can be blown off their seats by the proof that the modern Good Things was actually played :notworthy:

EDIT: noticed a twitch at 3:31, checked with my recording, there's about 27 seconds missing in yours between "good th-" after the "profit's higher" part and the last "-ings" and fadeout :|
yes i know. it was a mistake from my computer in my md the show is complete

This concert was indeed a fantastic moment, it seems that Eldritch has a special connection with the belgian crowd, maybe because this is the only country where the Sisters are still considered as a potential headliner for a festival, so maybe it is a way to thank Belgium when he makes the special efforts to re-visit Good Things after 27 years and put back the Capricorn / I Did not know ... in the setlist.
The sound conditions were top, the sound was trully perfect and well balanced (did they have a new sound engineer ? LOL), we could hear everything well and most of all Andrew's voice, a thing that has become quite unusually in the recent years.
A real pleasure also to meet to nice people too at Raf Ahrayeph's place before the concert :)
See you next year in Belgium ;)

Hi all,

it was indeed a memorable concert !!

To be honest... i saw them the last time at the Brielpoort Deinze a few years ago. The sound was awful and the show didn't feel that magical as it did at other shows they did in belgium.

When I saw them on saturday I was blown away by the bad's enthousiasm. They seemed to have fun.. and I could actually hear him sing.
It was so great to see all the fans gathering as the day slowly crept towards it's climax.

it's amazing to see that I still gets these chills when they enter the stage and play their first notes!

Now I'm happy to have the Docsummer recording to relive the concert over and over again.

on that parent, teaching his kid the right music at that age..

He was completely dressed in sisters outfit.. T-shirt and trouser with logo!

That's indeed the proper education

Doesn't look like a riff he's trying to squeeze out there, does it? :lol:

Listening to Good Things it sounds a bit different to the original. How long did it take you lot to figure out that it was infact Good Things?

I took me quite a while because it was so utterly unexpected. And I can imagine how funny it must have been to watch us all from the stage, how our faces first all went blank and then lighted up like candles when we finally recognized the song. And what a stunning version it was!!!! :notworthy:

@zero01...prayer has been said, candle lit, sacrifice coming up at the next full moon :)

@Obviousman...I agree, that is a great pic. Could almost be the new cover for an updated Floorshow or Possession cd. I mean that in the nicest way...it's just what the pic reminded me of at first glance!
