Your ideal Sisters Of MERCY setlist......

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.

Blimey... no Temple of Love. That'd cause uproar, eh?
And I can't find room for Fix or Gimme Shelter. I'm sure I've missed some other stuff out too. So, my ideal Sisters' set list would even disappoint me! Bugger!

And Body and Soul as well. Have they ever played these songs live? Not likely, right?

Also, my ideal setlist would never be without Driven like the Snow, but I somehow think that's even less likely than Adrenachrome :sad:

Nah, these days the sisters seems to work fine live without a female involved. Perhaps Eldritch thinks the music is less c**k rock live these days comparing to the years of 91-93 :wink:
