I think the crowd and the show was very neat anno 2009
Yep, you're both right. In 2006 (and traditionally) the crowd at a Sisters gig in Berlin is crap, but in 2009 it was fcuking awesome and everybody played along. Great gig, great audience - just as Hamburg should have been but for some strange reason wasn't. :eek:

German audiences are just overall not very involved I think. The tendency is to step back, cross your arms, and watch what these clowns on stage are doing. Doesn't have to be like that always of course. But a general tendency.

The shorts were retired with honour, I still have the shirt though. I may even have some photo's of your good self wearing a ridiculous hat.

Didn't go this year, is the Caipirinha bar still there?
I hope so 8)
...neither did I. I retired the hat. It was the only sun protection that would fit in the motorbike luggage. Ghastly.

That bar was ideally placed for sunny-drinking and the odd bout of sniggering at really bad goffs (no insult to the general G. community, but if you've been to Mera Luna, you'll know what I mean.......)

once ( march 2009) i was in Dresden to see Electric Six ( alterschlaablahblah, same venue were t'Sister played) crowd there were utter nutters. Wildest crowd i've ever witnesses, even Mr Dick Valentine said about them, as onliner, "you are f**king idiots". some underpants throwing on stage( it as a joke, but still), wild-wild mosh-pit. Then my picture of German crowd as standing still forest fall apart.

Thanks - I personally don't feel the need to enter any kind of moshpit during a sisters concert. I love the music but it's nothin what I consider "heavy" enough. As a matter of fact the sisters sounds more like industrial flavoured "easy listening" with electric guitars to me :lol:

well during 2006 Kraków (Cracow) TSOM gig we had a little of mosh pit. :wink:

i personally love this kind of sport even that i'm small man ( circa about as :von:), it gives me chance to drop all energy and just enjoy the show. once i nearly lost my glasses ( stupid me forgot to put off). but i'm trying to not be aggressive and danger to other in the crowd.

I would like to state for the record Dallas 2006 is without a doubt the most dangerous Sisters show I have seen. Ended with bruises and people being carted off to jail!

I didn't realize anyone got arrested. In fact, I didn't realize it even got that exciting 8)
