Tickets are on their way. Let me know if it did work out.
That's awesome - thank you, @LucyFurr! Tickets have arrived (and yes, TicketBastard are a bunch of shitehawks!).

@merrisl Can pregame or go direct to the add-on - I may need a stiffener before braving the crowds! :lol: I'll PM you my number, text me if you like and we can meet up somewhere, otherwise if you see a guy with a silver bat in his left ear come and say Hello!

Edit: turns out I can still fit into my NEC shirt, so look for the old logo and "27-6-92" on the back - my suspicion is that there won't be too many of them about!

A top night out! Great to meet @merrisl, not entirely sure how I got home or where I left my voice, but I'm sure it will show up at some point! :lol:

Thanks Peter KJ for uploading the videos - that's great of you once again! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: And yes, Europeans (here: one particular person from Belgium) are simply quicker at uploading videos. Therefore: No need for patience 8)
Andrew sounds really, really good. Much better than in June. Overall better sound and mix now.
Kai has become a perfect fit for the band (I also liked Dylan - totally different personality, but also really good).
I regret more and more that I didn't make it there. I enjoy the videos all the more (thanks especially for Ribbons - love that song the most I guess)
@merrisl! I hope you didn't end up on Venus :lol: (damn autocorrect, I changed it to venue 3 times and still ... )
@EvilBastard! Glad you enjoyed the evening! Found your voice again yet? If not, then it must have been a really exceptionally good evening. :P

Thanks for posting my video, it really was a good show.
I didn't want anyone here to feel left out or forgotten since I didn't post my video here
Someone beat me to it
enjoy it, but read my description on the youtube before you watch

If you didn't see my post in The Sisters Of Mercy Facebook group, well then think about this for a second:

I wonder, how it would have been, if at last night's show in Brooklyn, New York, as a "tribute" to New York,
that they would have had an unplanned encore of Ghostrider/Sister Ray.
That would have brought that theatre down to the ground, just saying...
it would have been E.P.I.C. to say the least

@stefansonic

Thanks so much for the video
Watching it right now. It may not be the quality you wanted, but wow... Andrew sounds great 😎

And Kai's additional vocals really work
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy
With massive thanks to Ruffers for his company and help.

Just read a quote from Von saying he is feeling "chipper" and ready to rock. Gotta love it. Don't know if I believe that he's never heard "Nebraska" though. Really, Andrew?

I'm seeing him this evening and an really jacked for it after seeing clips from the previous shows.

SEEKING OUT THE GUY WHO INSISTED I LOOKED LIKE JG THIRLWELL AND GAVE ME A FREE BOOK AFTER THE SHOW:

Thanks for the "Waiting for Another War" book, I read it and found it to be very good. I also did go and listen to some JG Thirlwell music and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I'm hooked. Both he and the Sisters have got great covers of "Ghost Rider," don't they?

Hey, great to see you here. That was me. I think you had a terrific look and yes, JG Thirlwell is a hero of mine. Check out his Clint Ruin look; that's what I meant. Feel free to email me: trevorristow (at) gmail. I don't live in NYC anymore but love to hear from you.

I'm a big fan of his work, but I thought he really just phoned it in on this one.
