Looking for a particular version of Vision Thing

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.

Hi there!

Few years ago during a gig, Von had to stop singing due some throat ache or something like that, but Ben and Chris returned to the stage and explained the situation and offered to play Vision Thing without Von if the audience wanted to, and of course people accepted.

When and where it was? Does we have a recording or bootleg of that?

Cheers!

wow! is this perhaps the ONLY time that the sisters have been on stage without Andrew?
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

what eastmidswhizzkid should have wrote:wow! is this perhaps the ONLY time that the sisters have played without Andrew and with someone else singing?

And I knew the words to every song.
