Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The set list makes me weep

Also read the shows were recorded for possible release
Yeah, it really was ace... I went after getting lucky and getting some tickets off Gumtree and definitely don't regret it for one minute... it was the kind of gig I never thought I'd see... Jim Kerr restrained his stadium histrionics enough to make it a pretty impressive performance.. Setlist was phenomenal n'all.. I also managed to get away with one of Mel's drum skins and a setlist that I got Jim and Charlie to sign at Sister Ray on Record Shop Day a few weeks ago..
Not sure about the ex-members thing though, from what I've heard there's a lot of bad blood between Burchill & kerr and Forbes and McGee and the others are playing under the X-SM brandname on their own accord (they did release a version of the American that's not quite up to it IMO..)
The rumour I heard (not sure how kosher) was that they were looking to work with Steve Hillage again.. now that would be very interesting...
I give you the finger but you want the whole hand...

You lucky, lucky git
I was aware of the bad blood, I read about the "negotiations" such as it was in last month's Mojo I think.
Kinda surprised Kerr would have an issue with them as he pretty disowned the early catalogue for the longest time but whatever.
Now just release this on blu-ray so I can annoy the neighbours
Oh man, after listening to that and the one from Dublin that's floating around I'm even more
What ticks me off is I had $4K to burn in Jan and had I known if would have been this set list I would have packed my bags and flown across the pond for this.
I didn't because the info I had was they would play just 5 songs from the 5 albums during the tour like a medley or something and then the usual ... stuff
Dammit
dtsom: Your gig sounded like I was sitting in your lap . I mean that in a good way
