"Something Fast" -also Ingo

"Don't Drive On Ice" -Ingo again

"Eyes Of Caligula" -by Ingo

They fired a guitarist, cancelled 2 gigs, pulled a new guitarist of their hats mid tour.... I wouldn't be surprised if they would play Possession next.

I wonder if Ben approached him earlier or if it was agreed in Budapest? In which case Kai's had four days to learn the set, in-between playing his own gig in Barcelona on the 12th and then hot-footing it back to Wurzburg!

Well, whatever happened they sound fantastic, cannot wait for one of eggi's masterful recordings of these shows. Or several.

That's better.

Würzburg is just one of those totally un-hip places to have this happen.

But to be honest: I, at least, didn‘t expect it.

looks like Wurzburg (sry I've no idea how to umlaut that u) just made itself hip, in Sisters History at the very least plenty of welcoming whooping and hollering for Kai on these videos of Ingo's and Mr Blonde's (cheers as ever guys ). The show sounds awesome, roll on Nottingham! (and all gigs inbetween for everyone going to them )

And as Sabine rightly says, welcome to The Sisters Kai

This probably calls for an updated tour image, just in case any bootleggers haven't bootlegged their t-shirts yet ...

... ... cool ...

Btw, thanks again to all for the videos. They're intergrated ... ...

Wowzas, did not see that coming. Sounding good… thanks for sharing the vids!

Ooh that new ending to On The Beach is tasty innit!

Nods of approval from the boss. You can see Andrew stifling a cough, can't be easy recovering on tour, fair play to him. Sounds great.

Wow....videos from this one are great!
Thank you Ingo and Mr Blonde

Just noticed from Kai's FB page that he attended at least one of the Roundhouse shows. Make of that what you will

Can I ask: it sounds to me like what were perpetual sound troubles have now cleared up? Like: maybe Dylan was the problem all along, not Von's voice?!

ALSO: so now The Sisters of Mercy have had both queers and non-binary people in the band

Nah, Von's voice has been dodgy for years.

Yes. I know. I repeat: the sound problems seem to have cleared up now and Von's voice hasn't miraculously de-aged.

Bloody hell, they sound good here.

Time for an album …

On the Beach sounds fantastic.

Honestly, I would like to be able to blame Dylan, but I went to Sisters gigs before he joined that had terrible sound. The Sisters are one of the very few headline bands that I've seen that had a worse sound than their own support act, and I've been going to gigs for 40 years.

did you do that Dave? thats absolutely brilliant! told you that boot t-shirt I got from the Roundhouse with Dylan on would be a collector's item. Now i need one of these for the set!

@MrBlonde & @Ingo Thanks & kudos!
