the live screams, most notably during Sister Ray or at the end of Emma

The live version of giving ground... probably. Our little Vonny hit some notes (more like slapped em lightly) that tony never could.

That too!


The good Doktor when Burn starts.

And back in the early nineties when Tim Bricheno unleashed his guitar on Gimme Shelter and at the end of Ribbons. Immense...

etc etc etc

Tim's Shelter and his Corrosion intro were both highlights
Andreas was always trying out different bits of business for the Ribbons intro and the 2 of them doing the extended Temple was also a wonderful thing.

Guitar slide in the beginning of When you don't see me

Yeah yeah yeah's in the YCBTO chorus

End of Marian(Maariaaaannnnnn)

That is my SMS tone... ...Dominion first few bars my ringtone.

For me the lead-in bass in Lucretia still makes me tingle all over every time.

The lines "and were it not so black and not so hard to see, what use to you then any fire?" sometimes lingers in my head for days on end.

oh and the very very last drum roll in walk away!

INCOMING! At the end of Ribbons. Still my ringtone.

Seconded - the version of Shelter in the NEC 92 is particulary jaw dropping.

Live screams in Body Electric & Floorshow

Sister Ray/Louie Louie/ Ghostrider medely in 83

Silver Machine with UTG lyrics

Pretty much the whole of Body Electric - especially the descending bassline

the 'shimmering' keyboard line towards end of full version of Neverland - sent shivers, always reminds me of sitting in the dark, listening to this loud and watching the ember of the cigarette I was smoking going down and down (goes misty eyed at this point.....!!!)

Until you posted this, I'd never realised just how many of the SGWBM era songs ended in a scream (or two). Adrenochrome, Alice, Floorshow, Good Things, 1969, Kiss the Carpet are just a few examples from the top of my head as I type. A natural climax to a song or just a lazy way of bringing things to an end for a novice songsmith ?[/i]

Oh and UTG "love is fine but you can't hold it like a ..." Brilliantly cruel.
Bass - Romeo Down
Drums - Flood II
Fav live scream Floorshow 28 Aug 1983

Backing vocals in the When You Don't See Me chorus, especially the remix. The last "when you don't see me" refrain when the chorus ends. The clean guitar playing the pretty major chords of the prechorus. The whole damn song really.

The moment in the live shows when I finally work out what song they're playing.

The moment in the live shows where you finally work out where the band are standing.

'Alice' - when the bass gets it's full rumble on - around 0.27. And then again when the vocal starts around the 1 minute mark, to complete your realisation that you are indeed listening to something fairly remarkable.

Otherwise, my all time favourite Sisters record moment was on 7th October 1983 (a couple of days out from my 17th birthday) when I got my copy of the 12" 'Temple of Love' home from the local record shop, and first put needle to the groove.

That exact moment will stay with me forever.

I'm quite fond of the bit near the beginning of Kiss The Carpet where it starts to rattle the windows.

The moment when you work out what end the stage is when you're lost in the smoke?

That moment in the live shows when you realise you're actually just standing in the smokers lounge.

The moment when you realise that you've paid £20 for the ticket and can't see the singer never mind the bloody drummer

In This Corrosion all lives when there is the 1- 2- 3- 4 moment before the hell break lose in refrain favorite moment

Also i would like to add the moment when there is someone un-experienced from Sisters and asks his friends "where is the drummer?" or "omg, they are playing playback", always someone asks in 2-3 meters from you in any live

The start of giving ground

The Marian area

'Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me'

the beautiful drowning?

on the subject of Marian...

all of it (version)

Has anybody mentioned the 'stuck inside of Memphis' line. That's always my favourite bit of any gig.
