As I only went to one gig I can't really vote fairly ;)

Oh no, sam1, don't, Leeds was ace!
Remember all the cookie and fire girls in their little panties, and the get together, and that the band mingled with the crowd, and... really I think in terms of before+after Leeds rules.
I was just so under the impression of Eldritch's backward roll on stage, that for a second I forgot how lovely Leeds was and clicked "Paris" :oops:

Let's swap: we'll count my vote for Paris as yours, and you'll vote Leeds for me, o.k.?

why must there be a best one for everything :|
like I said before I had the most fun at the Paris gig, and Brussels2 was just brilliant, but I liked every one of those shows.
yeah some of them sucked but we know that before we leave don't we? :lol:

nah, you won't get a vote from me :wink:

Well I'm voting! ;D

I've seen 4 gigs this tour: the 2 Brussels gigs, Esch/Alzette & Paris.
It's Paris or Brussels 2... and in the end the Brussels gig might 've had the better setlist of those and the crowd was great on both, but Paris is Paris yu know. Every trip downthere is such a pleasure and this time was even better!

So yeah, Paris it is for me :D

I loved all the shows I've been to: both in Leeds, Tilburg, Vienna, Berlin and Paris ...

For me it's been so wonderful and a dream of a lifetime to see The Sisters play in their hometown ...
and that gig was absolutely great !!! New covers, great atmosphere, everything the way it should be ... ;D ;D ;D

Also enjoyed Nic Turner's whatever thing and the Filmic Delights quite a lot ...
and the cupcakes and firegirls ... and the postcards ... a very nice gesture ...
So having encountered this for the first time, I'd be quite tempted to say that this was my favourite gig, but ...

The second night had other aspects and highlights that I enjoyed
no less for it seemed somewhat more open ... to some incredible party ... :lol: :lol: :lol: ...

and the 013 gig in Tilburg with John, I'm Only Dancing and versions of Doctor Jeep and
Flood II we surely never ever had before ... pah, that was absolutely wonderful as well ... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

and then Vienna, which was great for me anyway, since for once in my lifetime I felt quite relaxed
at a Sisters gig and had great fun with the music and the riffs and the order of the setlist ...
at times I love terrible joking and there was pretty enough of that in it ... :lol: ;D ;D ;D ...

For Berlin, I think it's not been worse than the other gigs, although
I had said and thought so shortly afterwards ... but hell, that venue
and audience were a lovely excerpt from our daily hell in Germany ...
and surely by far not the worst part, just another sort of echo ...
However, The Sisters did the trick and cooked them up ... :lol: ...

... while I've been busy to kiss the wall for a fiftymillionththreehundredthtwentyseventh time ... :lol: ...
Hell, I can do with that, even need it somehow to know where I'm at ...

And then after all that, the gig in Paris ... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ... I'm incredibly content with that,
with all the tour, with myself and with everyone and everything I've seen and met ...
it was all a hell of a lot and mostly adventurous ... and I love adventure ... loads of laughter and fun ... and astonishment included ... :eek: :lol: ...

It's hard to vote for one single concert if one enjoys every step underway ... :D ...

and this final gig was surely the best it could be ... with everything included ... :lol: ...
and insofar I shall vote for it ... everything seemed to be at it's peek over there ...
and with even the unavoidable fall included ... hah, just lovely and great ...


Now back home and sick with quite a cold, I definitely enjoy the silence.
No more fun, no more laughter, coming down from all the euphoric occurences ...
I'm, yeah, slowly becoming very, very glad, I did undertake all these travels ...
it's been an entire pleasure to me to see The Sisters play so often and in so different places
and to meet with so many partly different and partly likeminded people ... I won't regrett a quarter of a second ... ;D :notworthy:
