Enhancement Live v2.2

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.

While I was daydreaming in the park yesterday (as I tend to do) I was thinking about the recent Hawkwind gig I went to. While some of the musical content was to be polite, slightly dull, the backdrop visuals kept the attention.

Wouldn't it be a great Sisters show with visuals on a big screen at the back of the stage? I'm assuming cost would stop it ever happening but it's nice to dream. :wink:

For example;

Crash & Burn: Speeded up footage of first person perspective of driving through Arizona interspersed with slow motion Second World War footage.

Ribbons: Vivid colours flashing (Red, blue, Purple) with iconic footage of the Russian revolution.

Flood I: A series of b & w doorways opening and closing with Apocolypse Now footage of the boat moving down the river.

Temple Of Love: Ankor Wat in negative, panaroma of surrounding area etc...

Summer: Slow motion sunset with intimidating fist coming at the camera.

Well, I think it would work anyway. :lol:

Wouldn't it be better if he concentrated on writing some more good songs with decent tunes rather than wasting his/our time on deflecting our attention to backdrop visuals during their slightly dull rehashes of some great songs.

More Walt Whitman and less Walt Disney!

We have new songs, we have old songs. The quality thereof is debatable but we have them.

I think anything to make the show memorable is a bonus. It worked for Dave Gilmour's so called Pink Floyd for years. :innocent:

what we (they) have are old songs, older songs and songs that are written when you people stil ware young pups :innocent:

the biggest question is, who is going to see those vids trough all that smoke? :P
to me the thing about TSOM allways has been, nothing but the basics. drumcomputer, amphs and a place for the smoke machine, that is it. and that is how it should be.

how is :von: gonna feed his cat if he has to pay for vids? :roll: ;D

If they're gonna do that why not just have a video of some smoke for each song?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
