Hi devilla and welcome. 8) Thanks for the info.

As far as I know, Andrew is still smoking (in more ways than one :lol: ) but having said that I never thought I'd quit, and it's now 2 years since I last smoked (tobacco :innocent: )

You might bump into Andrew before a show, but like you say, probably not afterwards (it's always amusing how few people recognise him without his shades).

I don't know Ben but Chris is a great guy (he lives ~1/4 mile form me in Leeds) -- and probably the hardest-working musician on the 'Leeds Scene'.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

As I said, it is really bad quality. I don't know if it is possible to filter out the noise with some audio tools. Probably not

Me too. I was at the far right, straight black hair, bangs, black glasses, little black bubble dress, bf has long black curly hair and was wearing a long, black PVC coat. Next to me was a cute blond and redheaded girl. We were all dancing.

I'm still a smoker. I guess Andrew started up again. I'm sure I read him bashing smokers on the old website years ago though. Ah, well if I ever do meet him at least he won't hate me for that. LOL!

Here's the view I had. I have video from my cell, but it's not great. I'm still waiting for the picture from the girl outside. Hopefully she doesn't blow me off.

This is a photo of Andrews setlist for anyone interested.

I have quite a few more photos from the concert as well, I just don't know if you can post them in these things.

I think you were the girl standing right next to me. I saw that you got some kind of sheet from the stage and was wondering what it was...

I think there were about 4 or 5 people between us. Quite interesting how many of us are here on the forum.

Well then. If we can post photos here... here they are.

Just a word, the quailty isn't excellent as smoke machines are what they are.

I'd love to see what anyone else managed to capture.

No apologies for those photos. Personally, I'd always figured a heavy hand on the hazer/fogger to be a major factor in Sisters visual presentation.

when i first saw the buffalo pictures i thought 'wow that camera must not be that good'

but now i understand why they were blurry

HEAVY SMOKE hahah those pics look pretty good. its weird cause there was a guy standing just in front of me with a bigger silver camera. and i was watching him take pictures..i swear this is the camera. thats were i was standing pretty much. i could be tripping though but it looks like it

No. I'z a lady. With a little silver camera.

I'm glad that you all enjoyed the pictures. I just wish that I could have gotten ONE clear picture of Andrew. Oh well, it just adds to the mystique I suppose.

If anyone else has any photos; I would be very appreciative if they would post them.

And one quick question. What was the name of the opening act? I was very impressed by them.

I am glad you liked your opener... I liked the Warlocks at the 2006 gig! 8)

In Buffalo 2008 we got Bison... um -- some likely local grind core outfit.

All I recall is that I saw big sneakers, tight jeans, ripped t-shirts and crazy hair...

and I heard chunk-chunk-chunk-chunk-brwaaaaa!
and then promptly ran away! :urff:

Time for more beer and another ciggy outside! :lol:
