Best & Worst Sisters show you saw

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.

Well, this particular mishap would be corrected by providing me with audio and video recordings of the gig :D

The best for me was Bristol 31st March 1985, as this was my only Sisters gig, and I got to meet Andrew & Wayne after the gig. Andrew was really friendly, and walked out among the crowd after the gig. I handed him one of the tour postcards and a pen to get him to sign this, and he made the fatal error of handing me his can of beer so that he could autograph the card. With a cheeky "Oh, cheers mate!" I took a large swig, whilst he scribbled as quickly a possible in order to get his tinny back. A great night out. :lol: :lol:

Not that I can remember, although I'd had a plentiful supply of ale before the gig.

I've yet to see a good performance from the band, I kept missing their Glasgow gigs until 2003 and it was pish, Leeds 2005 wasn't that bad for being right down the front when Never Land (with extra verse) was played, Glasgow 2006 was a party with some band playing and TGGI :lol: what a day/night :D

I keep watching Wake... been 26 years now...:|

As a newbie to the forum, I am consistently impressed with the lengths that some of the other members here go to in order to see the sisters. I applaud you for that.

I've only seen the sisters a few times, but the best gig was barrowlands in 2000, purely for the set list and the effort put in.

March 06 in Glasgow was not among the best, not sure whether the venue was too big or whether it was "Sisters by numbers".

I don't know if the lack of new recorded material means that Von can become lazy and not actually need to write new material (other than the new material he has been peddling for the last few years).

Still I would imagine the bank balance will be taking a bit of a hit and he'll be due to take the circus on the road again some time soon.

Cheers

Charlie

Hi Charlie, can I assume you're a fellow Weegie? ;D

Nope! Guilty as charged, as well...the only difference being that *I'm* not totally drunk at the time, just mildly tipsy... ;)
