All Sisters gigs are enjoyable as far as I’m concerned but not a classic in my opinion. Vocals to low in the mix especially mid show and feedback. The band were tight and all seemed to enjoy it. Fun watching the security trying to stop the towers. Good venue and a high stage which always helps for the vertically challenged. Enjoyed both new tracks on first listen, But Genevieve perhaps more so than Black Sail. Onwards to Rock City next.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Von mostly communicates by mime, yes, but it was still a great gig. He seemed pretty chipper, messing about, having a daft laugh. And the mass singalong was cracking.
That was fun. First half up front was definitely better than second half down back, but what's a middle-aged man to do when nature calls? But Geneveive is fantastic, Black Sail reminded me of I Was Wrong too.
Fantastic to catch up with some faces I've not seen in years. John Robb was there too, always a pleasure. Not a bad start to this round at all!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
Listening back to the new tracks, I think I prefer But Genevieve of the two.
I really liked the guitar harmonies Ben and Dylan played during the track. It just seemed a more coherent track than Black Sail.

It's easy to forget how long it is since we had new songs... last year excepting (and the odd bone they’ve thrown to us over the years). That these new songs are good is quite a thing. I mean, it's been over 30 years since I've been this excited by new Sisters material. Whether a new album happens or not, Gawd bless 'em for trying. Genevieve might not be the Sisters' very finest moment, but I'd listen to it all day long over most of what I listen to these days. It's quite gorgeous.
Found it a solid enough gig, although the sound could have been better at times.
For me, I preferred Black Sail to But Genevieve. But not much in it IMO.
Love the fact they're sort of working these songs as they play them.
Think there's a good chance they'll debut another couple in the course of the tour.

Must admit I didn't look at much else.
Scardy has a photo he might well post here.
But Genevieve sounds great... but this really needs to be recorded in a studio (please God)
As has been said earlier Dylan has definetely a Chris Holmes vibe...I can see him now sitting in a swimming pool pouring a bottle of vodka over his head.
