Where do you stand at a Sisters gig?

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.

I have only being twice to a Gig and I always stood left in front of the stage.
Do you guys really want to stand someplace or doesn’t it matter?

At my first (and last) one (Glasgow 2003) I was Centre Stage. At one point :von: held the microphone stand over my head. I could have reached up and pulled him into the mosh pit :twisted:

Either at the front or back at the mixing desk, depending on what mood I´m in and what gear I have with me :P

For the first night in Leeds last year, I stood right at the back, with my back to the wall.

Have I mentioned already that the gig was a huge letdown? oh, I have? OK, I won't mention it again.

As near to the front as possible, without impending the view.

Of course not BeeP - I'm a gentleman. You can go on my shoulders if you like and do that ridiculous arm waving dance.

As near to the back as possible: it becomes very difficult to find one's footing the nearer the front one goes.

Not telling, in case someone tries to stand there sometime.

Obviously not in the near future.

'Small' gig - in the pit.

'Big' gig - quite far back to admire the lightshow.

Sorted every time.

Nope it was me :innocent: if you where in Belgium. :)

I have a simple question.
Do you see anything when you stand at the back? Even if you stand in front the smoke is blinding everything.

If it's a big gig, then yes, you see the 'Bladerunner on LSD' lightshow in all its glory. Well worth it.

If it's a small gig, you see f**k all period. Which is why it makes sense to dive into the mosh.

As far away from the p*ssed up tw*t we were next to at the Forum last year. Going to a gig and standing there going "aaaaaaeeeeeeeuuurrgghhh" isn't an endearing quality. All though he did shout "let's do The Sisters of MERcy-aaaaa" a few times, which was quite funny.

But only quite.
