Here!

Setlist (not in that order):

Ribbons
Crash and Burn
Train-D.Boulevard
Summer
Romeo Down
Suzanne
Will I Dream
Flood I
Flood II
Alice
First & Last
Marian
Anaconda
Giving Ground
Vision Thing

Something Fast
Snob Nose
Lucreatia
Temple


The gig was outstanding!!!!!! From the first song on I felt like on a trip, better than any drug I've had so far.

Best version of Ribbons I've ever heard!!!!! And that was just the start.

Excellent sound quality, and you can hear they've got somebody else at the mixing desk, and you haven't heard the Sisters like that before.
Sound was clear, precise, minimalistic - stonking and different.

This gig alone was worth the trip to the States. And if you have the chance to see them anywhere near you, go for it, they're far better than 2006. They're like new. :eek: :eek: :eek: :notworthy: :notworthy:
:idea: :idea: :idea:

Er... there's nothing more to say. Or yes, there is: No tour shirt. A new-ish hoodie with "Sisters" printed on the front in grey, a benie (kind of hat) with grey Sisters on front, a girlie "Utterly Bastard Groovy", Buttons! :eek: :eek: :eek: I think, that's it.

Need to go, I'm still high and want to enjoy it.

Oh, haven't seen Von in such a good mood for ages. Very talkative, and SMILING from ear to ear! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Over and out

:lol: Just one Marian. But she's back, and she's grown synthesizers.

The Sisters put on a fantastic, fantastic rock show. All the people I was with noticed Andrew smiling and making... eyebrow gestures at the audience the whole show. The band was full of energy and seemed to be having a great time. A great time was had by all. I was in the second row back from the stage for the whole thing, and it was glorious.

Bollocks to it, then - I'm not going to bother going.

Sounds like a Top Nite Out indeed - thanks for the heads up, Ms. Sockworth of Stripy - looking forward to seeing The Girls (and you lovely people of course!) a week tonight!!! :notworthy:

Alas no, just the one. I've blown my vacation this year on wine and loose women, and can't get the time off :oops:

Did you get my post about the mic over on t'other thread?

The didn't play Still?? (IMHO the best of the new songs)

Let's hope we will hear it tomorrow in Toronto.

Train must have been awesome. When was the last time they played that one?

The reviews confirm what we said after the gig in Tienen, the band is back in top form with top key points:
- AE finding again his voice
- a good sound engineer (I hope they will keep him for the european dates)

Writing a review for my guitar forum, and I remembered (consulting here for the setlist; I forget the order...) they played Dominion and Giving Ground as well.

Back home in Rochester... great trip!

Due to manual and perhaps technical difficulties... we have a partial recording.

Sorry Eva... I started to record, put the recorder in my pocket and pulled out the mic... so no Ribbons. :(

Also, lost Someting Fast while changing discs (they were quick!) and then may have f***ed up the whole last part by accidentally copy-protecting the disc... sorry, really my first time manning the rig! :?

We got an hour or so recorded... with luck you'll hear it! :wink:

P.S.: Where were you guys!?! Lost in the smoke!? :lol:
wah-hoo

DrG: I was front row between Chris and Von (tall red head). And Don't worry about the recording, we've all goone through that (and still do from time to time)> Besides. There is a complete one, too. ;D Don't know yet about the quality though. However, see you where? Look out for the tall red head that's the easiest... :wink:

forgot to tell you all: The original lighting is back!!! Especially for Summer, the correct order and all colours needed - blue, yellow and red, showing up at the perfect moment. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

How much was the merchandise? A friend of mine will be at one of the US shows and I might ask him to buy me a shirt.
