If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Worth going for Rain From Heaven alone, simply awesome. Body Electric & NTTC were welcome surprises too. Performance wise, better than most of the 2006-09 outings. Eldritch's vocals weren't too bad, obviously the rest has done him some good. Sound quality was reasonable, smoke aplenty, lighting minimal, in fact pretty poor, altho prob limited by the small stage. Some new merch...tour tees (B+W), one with Slept lyrics (red + black). Overall, not bad.

What a cracking gig! Down the front the sound was good and loud, as was Eldritch.

Rain From Heaven was amazing, best Sisters gig I've seen so far :D

Just got back home, show was great, Rain From Heaven was fuckin awesome too. Voice was in fine form, seriously hoping a recording appears soon.
Great setlist......way better than any of the 06-09 shows I've seen.

As the reviews are quite good I'd say the old

some try to convince us otherwise! :P 8)

Still on a high from last nights gig, and am I so glad i got a ticket, by far the best indoors* Sisters gig I've seen in the last ten years, great venue/PA system, real clarity in Von's vocals and i was really cynical of what to expect from this one, great set list, Logic, Floorshow, Arms, and a superb industrial mix of Rain From Heaven. Von was really chatty tonight, wired and on form, i think he was really happy he could smoke on stage. Just twice did he lapse into the 'fog me and mumble me numb' be i'll forgive him for that.

*the Euro jaunts always seem to produce good gigs soundwise.

Cool. That was probably the best Sisters gig I've been to in the last 8-10 years. Felt quite let down the last few times, but that was totally enthralling.

I'm not overly keen on some of the souped up new versions of the oldes like Anaconda and Temple Of Love, but the slowed down Body Electric and the warped Rain From Heaven were fantastic!

Loved the minimal back-lighting - it suits him! And the amount of dry ice was great - the crowd looked like a psychedelic version of the Dore pic used for the cover of B&S - just a few heads peeking out of the swirling miasma.

More please Mr Andrew sir.....

I was surprised by the choice of support band - Ulterior sound rather trad early 90s goth (like Dream Disciples or Merry Thoughts), which I thought Eldo always shied well away from 'cos of the whole 'we are not goth' issue. They were pretty damn good too.

Oh yes... and I was stone cold sober in the gig!
