What song that hasn't been performed recently would you like to hear again?

[Husek]

The one thing I notice about this thread is that most of us are essentially asking for the same setlist we had back in late 90s/mid 00s. Kiss the Carpet, Flood 2, VT, FALAA, Something Fast, Train, Body Electric.

I'm all for the new songs, and I really love them (On the Beach and Caligula are masterpieces). But I'd take Kiss The Carpet, Come Together, Logic , Fix, or even Anaconda over them any day.

It's just the version they did that mixed in parts of the Phantom guitar line but (as usual) left out half the words.



One of those things where you might initially think it's neat, but you'd really just prefer to hear Floorshow done right.

I don't think Von would be up to doing Floorshow, at least not without major support from backing vocals, these days anyway.

sounds awful to be honest. even Andrew isnt allowed to fuck about with my beloved Sisters songs.

I kinda love the Phantom Riff tho. like andrew’s voice sounds like s**t but that riff goes hard

i must have been feeling particularly jaded when i lstened to this last time as it sounds a whole lot better now! it must have been a real buzz to hear it live after all those years.

[sam1]

Possession would be grand to hear again, along with Neverland...we live in hope!....and while we are on the subject, Driven Like The Snow is well overdue a debut.........

[DJW]

Couldn’t agree more re Driven Lije The Snow. Struggling to imagine why Von has never performed it.

Would make for a very atmospheric set opener with an extended intro IMHO

[ruffers]

Floorshow. He can mumble through it but get the Doctor on song and it's dream come true time for me.

[Jeremiah]

I don't follow all the news about set lists so I'm not sure when they last played it, but Vision Thing would make a great opener for the current set.

[Fallon]

I'm assuming that Slept is permanently retired due to lyrical content that the band can't fully stand by anymore (and to be fair that is a total assumption) but that spaghetti western riff from Pearson was a real 'moment in time' for me in my walk with the Sisters. It'd be nice if they snuck in a reprieve somewhere, even if we don't really need to hear songs that refer to pistol whipping girls in their entirety.

I also think we're probably not going to see too much in the way of major setlist shifts anymore, save for the possibility of adding brand new songs. I'm quite certain that part of the band's business model involves a) minimizing the performance royalties paid to co-writers who were credited on Sisters releases (obviously there's a few hits that can't be avoided, and it's like Lemmy said about Good Golly Miss Molly), and b) maximizing the performance royalties paid to the people who are currently in the band, or who have been in the band after the Sisters stopped releasing records, but whose songwriting contributions might have more affordable contract stipulations around them.

But even so, they could swap out Crash And Burn for a modified version of Slept once in a while, no? It seems to have fallen out of favour among Sisters fans, is it just one of those songs that people think is a bit too on-the-snub-nose or something? Not saying they should've busted it out immediately after Terri Nunn got onstage with them or anything, but it'd be nice if it resurfaced for a minute. I still love it. That riff, and that ominous chorus.
