Hi kids!
OK, a bit late, but as I told you, I've been away for a while. And it's real hard to find Net access (or to feel up to it) when you are walking 25-30 kms per day, with an 8kgs backpack...
Anyway, my two cents...
I NEEDED THAT
I REALLY enjoyed the gig. A LOT. The setlist was great (OK, nothing new. But I like this one a lot, so...) Having last seen them at Lorca last year, I was a bit worried about the way they were going to sound... And the sound, from the right of the stage this time, was very good. I'd have loved to get closer to the moshpit, for what I saw you pple were having fun... But after dragging 3 friends to the gig, I couldn't leave them there, so I had to stay closer to them. Which meant that I was the only one moving in my area. A pity.
Those two girls who hadn't heard of the Sisters at all left before the gig was finished. Their loss, anyway. I didn't see them leave, I was too busy shouting and jumping.
About the problems, I am with Diego. I think he lost his voice. If it had been a technical problem, Ben and Chris' singing during this corrosion would not have been heard either.. (I remind myself of my English teacher, with all these would and have beens...
)
I didn't see him smoking at all. I think he was drinking water (or whatever it was he was drinking was colourless this time). And he's put on some weight (Quitting smoking makes you fat). He's bald. So what? My boyfriend's bald since he turned 25... Even if I like to analyze the way he looks or what he does on stage (nothing, in this case
), those are not the reasons I go to the gigs, or why I like the Sisters. If you don't understand that, you're in the wrong forum.
All that said, Peter Murphy rocked too. A great performance, that left me a bit angry with Von... 'Cause he made absolutely no concession to us! I am not sure if he even said hello... I am not asking him to sing hanging from the stage like a monkey, as Pete did (altouhgh that was really funny), but maybe a couple of words to the audience woudn't kill him?
Oh well... Off to read the Tienen reviews. I know about Good Things (
), though, so they are bound to be good!
Oh, and sorry I didn't see anybody. Diego, I think I saw you from afar, but beer is bad for my memory, and I wasn't sure if it was you...
Be good,
Ganith
