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.

This rendition is my all time favourite...

Having heard just before the gig at NEC '92 that they were opening with More I was really looking forward to it. When they came on stage and opened with Numb / SKOS I had goosebumps when the song finished. I know doing that version SKOS would be very hard to do on its own but I do wish they would try one day

Thats it indeed. Having been to this one was simply an experience of a higher kind. And the whispering end of gimme shelter also belongs to the all time favourites.

This also is among the best ever.
Let me conquer the thread. Anybody does have a real good version to share? Did a trade for it with paul which was better than the widely spread version, but cd2 is full of jumps/glitches.
Happy christmas

I believe there are 2 sources for this gig...the commonly available one & a better quality version possibly?
