One day I'll be able to read one of these threads without the grim foreboding that the gig was cancelled.

One day.

Sorry to have missed this show, sounds like it was a good one! Incidentally, Amenra, who were hand-picked to open for the SIsters a few years back, were playing at the same venue on Monday night (9/16), and the timing for me to see them was better than the Sisters the following night. They put on an amazing show - I highly recommend them for the Sisters fans with heavy metal leanings.

Anyway, back to the Sisters, I am glad that this tour seems to have gotten off to a strong start and that those who have gone to see them seem very pleased with the presentation!

Amenra supported at The Roundhouse a few years ago, musically I thought they were really good but the singer spent most of the gig with his back to the audience so that put me off I'm afraid.

Yes, but could you hear the singer? Haha, sorry, I couldn't resist, even though it seems like people have been able to hear Andrew just fine during the current tour, and the videos sound good. I didn't have an issue with his positioning - the Amenra singer seemed to be facing the drummer when he was screaming, but was facing the crowd during quiet passages. And he seemed to be putting every ounce of his energy into the performance.

Anyway, I know that the setlist seems pretty much set, but I wish, for those in attendance, that the Sisters had done Something Fast in Baltimore.

For everyone moaning about a lack of videos, paraphrasing Von from the Roundhouse in 2021, as Sisters people you'd think you'd have learned a little patience :wink: ;D

And lo .....



Massive thanks to the filmer, though not on YT as comments are turned off.

I'm busy with a medication administration course at the mo, well, that and Call Of Duty, so covers may be a while. Also, somewhat selfishly, I'm less inspired to physically make the bootlegs these days as I've simply ran out of room on the shelves for CDs and almost for DVDs. There's around 360 Sisters bootleg CDs in our living room :lol:

I found that very affective for some reason, when he finally turned round it was like phwoaaaar look at this nutters face

I'll quote you instead to make up for that one minute?

Anybody catch why Von said "we're not playing that song" before the encore?

Anyway, We would need some hi-res download of the video from YT, which seems not that easy this year, I've noticed. I can download only minimum quality stuff with the programme I use. And I don't know any other to do it better. Otherwise I could create some stuff, if necessary...

Aye I'd noticed that too whilst downloading the Metallica Seattle shows the other week. In fairness 720p is fine by me, but I get that maybe not for others. Anyway it's a good front row recording of the show, which sounds like they've picked up where they left off on the UK tour last year, ie banging 8) :notworthy:

I went to both shows. The Amenra gig was much better. Better audience and sound.

Any interpretations of what Von is saying before "Here"? It may be a secret clue

Chris hit the wrong button on the Doktor and there was a stuttery snare-drum roll for a few seconds. An intro to "Panic Is An Option"???

It could be one of any number of titles teased at us but so far not realised... Either way, exciting things are coming

Yeah he's definitely introducing the song as Satellite Of Love. I think it's just a joke about the vaguely similar piano parts between Here and SoL
