Do people who were there think the sound was adequate? Can they finish the tour with only one guitar in such a way that people will still have a great time?

yes the setlist paper planes that didn't fly properly 
what a f**king brilliant gig even without Dylan.
the boys were having fun on stage without a doubt.
our audience was delightful
von pulled his weight as front man he was good to hear but I was right up front.
Ben was brilliant as always and my daughter sent him a hand heart that she got back from him which made me so happy.
Chris i love you man. kudos for how you hold yourself tried to get a smile,.
sorry i left in such a hurry without saying goodbye to you favourite friends who i was around !
see you all tomorrow
mh ~ always a pleasure sharing drinks with you
thank you Andrew always giving me that *wibble * watching you

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Sounds like everyone got something out of this gig - brilliant to have Chris back, he's a solid unit 
Sad for Dylan, he's obvs NQR at the moment but massive kudos to Ben and Andy for continuing. Class.
Wish I was there, have a blast everyone...

SUMMER
WHEN YOU DON‘T SEE ME BEING ON FIRE … erm, „When I‘m On Fire“ then
Two more videos will follow. Still glowing after a very good gig. And for those who wondered if it will still work with one guitarist short: It did. Yes, some songs are now good candidates for not being played. Apart from this, Ben was doing his usual, which is very good.
It was nice to meet everyone, really enjoyed reconnecting after some time
Those who will be in Utrecht: Enjoy, you will

I was just irritated, it said „no filming no video“ at the door — surely this must’ve been a leftover from the previous gig "For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet.

I know when Siouxsie played Paradiso a few months ago there were various notices about no pictures or filming. But i believe that was at Siouxsie's request.
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy

it's sad to see him go just because he contributed to the band so well, (not that i like everything) and they did seem to get along also, on the other hand, he just had to pick up his guitar at the second night, he did'n't, that just stupid. As a guitar player I prefer someone else with better skills and less clowny actions, that just not suits the band, but as a person i really like Dylan over anyone else, it's just stupid the way it's escalated, shame he' s gone and I wonder if he's okay, on the other hand it's been somewhile ago since I saw the Sisters this powerfull like yesterday. All respect to Dylan but he wasted this himselfs,Fodderstompf wrote: ↑26 Sep 2023, 20:18 You people seem to find the collapse of the current line-up funny?

Watching Jans excellent videos from last night (thank you so much for sharing them! 
)
Von sings GREAT all by himself on Summer, his voice sounds strong and distinct. So I just don’t get why they insist on having Ben sing so many of the songs in their entirety. Ben is a great backing vocalist, but this thing with having two lead singers just baffle me.
With all due respect to Ben, but when I go to a Sisters gig I want to hear the songs sung by Von (who clearly still can do it, as heard in that video of Summer).

So much depends on the venue. In 2006, I took a week off work and went to every gig in the Sisters' UK tour.
What I learned then was that the venues's PA system, micing desk and acoustics are just as important as what the band is doing.
There were gigs that were bad, ane gigs that were great. Von and the band did the same thing everytime. A lot is purely down to the venue.
I don't really care about Dylan leaving. To be honest, his Barbie-style look always seemed to me to jar with The Sisters. If he can't take the heat – here's the door.

I'm glad you enjoyed the 2006 tour, it's widely been regarded as pretty s**t. The Nottingham date was pretty dire.darkerandbolder wrote: ↑27 Sep 2023, 23:19 So much depends on the venue. In 2006, I took a week off work and went to every gig in the Sisters' UK tour.

As to the venue acoustics, while I'm sure it plays a part, the Sisters can sound great one night, and bad on the next IN THE SAME VENUE.

Personally I suspect it's to try and preserve his voice. Having witnessed AE completely loose his voice in Barcelona (Sept 2016 ) and get boo'd at, then come back on stage to offer ticket holders another gig, don't think it's something they want to make a habit ofTheGoodSon wrote: ↑27 Sep 2023, 16:29 Watching Jans excellent videos from last night (thank you so much for sharing them!
