March Violets 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've just received both of them from the ever-ace Keef, will take a listen ASAP. (Don't worry, I will buy real copies eventually, if they're as good as everyone makes out ;))

Also, I've not forgotten that tape, bananacamel, I just can't find my cassette player. When I get it transferred, you'll be first to know. :lol: ;)

Well now that I am a proud owner of both "Complete Collection 1985 - 1989" and "Sass" I can honestly say that Salvation are a great band, lost it a bit in over production on Sass but their initial output is top notch. Can't wait t see them :notworthy: :D
"Sass" is what happens when a major label are in charge.
very produced but a great pop album. As dan once said "there's a space between the Mishun and Voice of the beehive, and we can fill it". :lol:


Has anyone got plans to tape the evening's entertainment?
Specifically Salvation and March Violets.

I'm trying to decide whether to Take photos, tape it or simply enjoy it.

I'll just be enjoying it. Don't think I'll even bother with a camera.

Besides, there's supposed to be a DVD, and we're morally bound to get as many of us as possible onto that. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I would take my tape recorder, but I'd need a fuckton of batteries, for what would doubtless be a s**t recording. Nevertheless, if someone could tape 25men too, I'd appreciate it very much.

Been looking into buying a Zoom H2 just for that purpose, especially with the 4 m*****n gigs coming up and they're extensive support slots. But like the rest of you, would really like to just enjoy the evening. :D :notworthy:

:idea: Hmmm, maybe girlfriend (who is just along for the ride) will hold da machine, I must ask :wink:

Couldn't help myself, got me a zoom H2 and a 4gb SD card on order (hopefully it'll arive before the 8th), so will endeavour to smuggle it in and get a recording of the gig in question :D

Luckily I look nothing like my avatar, so a covert m!ss!on should still be on, despite broadcasting my intentions. 8)

As it will be the first time I've tried to record a gig since the 1991 reading festival, don't hold your breath that it'll be any good. :roll: :innocent:
But I'll try ;) :D

Now all I have to do is convince my girlfriend to hold it while I jump about :D

I do hope you are dedicated enough to the cause to carry out a Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction style operation..... :innocent:

I've looked into it, and the size of the device will make walking with the Christopher Walken hidy hole a little difficult, unless I'm willing to put up with severe discomfort :eek:

I think my birds handbag will probably surfice. 8)

Anyone know what the security at the Met is likely to be like?

Yeah of course we can work out a deal - I'll pick one up for you and send it over. Deal done, with pleasure (so long as someone reminds me to buy it, in case refreshment has been taken :innocent: ).
