Had them somewhere too, but they were taken from the video and sounded pretty wobbly. What's your source like?

Ribbons and Come Together are from the video. Flood II, Corrosion and VT are from a bootlleg (called "Friday The 13th") I bought in Camden Market about a week after the gig. Sound is better than "Visions at the Forum" IMHO.

But that one is missing Come Together/Ribbons as well I presume. Isn't the Visions at the Forum recorded with a limiter?

yeah the "Friday The 13th" boot is missing Kiss, Ribbons, Come Together and C.Numb / SKOS. The "Visions..." boot sounds compressed to me - the volume dies away when Von sings loud parts. The sound on the "Friday" boot doesn't do this, and is alot better IMHO.

I don't really have the money but I bought it anyway & it wins hands down for me.

best quality boot I have by a mile & as you say, very very pretty packaging!

Disease or addiction? I can take it or leave it. Anytime. Just like that. Hasn't got me hooked.

Hm. That one is pretty incomplete isn't it?

Hell yes. It was more the circumstances around it that made me enjoy it a great deal. And still do. I had written off the Sisters pretty much as dead, hadn't bought or traded anything Sisters-related for years and found VATF in a scrubby little record shop in Old Town. Going home listening to the new stuff and Comfortably Numb for the first time, watching the first snow falling, it was just one of those magical moments.

Going from memory, Visions at the forum includes Comfortably Numb, War on drugs, Confide in me and one or two more of the new ones.
At about the same time there was another bootleg out, with Andrew on the cover, darkgreenish, that included Come Together, Romeo Down and possibly Summer. What's the name of that one? I got that one just after Visions and it had a similar impact on me. Or am I mixing them up?
I love Come Together and long thought it would be the next single.

My mistake. That lobotomy I undertook haven't improved my memory it seems. I want my money back.

I was mixing it up with Victorian Night, Brixton 97. That one has Confide in me. And that's the one I bought first. Then I got hold of Visions at the forum.

Best 97 boot - Absolute Proof - Manchester, although it misses the last two encores.

But anyway, best boots ever -

Return To Arkham - looks official - a very lush item

Either Leeds 2003, with covers from source

Enjoy The Puppet Show - class recording

Dark Christmas - indeed an amazing performance

but you could go on for quite a while yet...

Early days - The Darks Were In Milan

Mera Luna 2000 ("Bei mir bist du schön")

Great gig, great sound, premiere of "crash & burn"

cannot decide between Before Darkness (Bremen 1984), Disguised in black and Roskilde 1998

the boot from The boot from Glasgow, Barrowlands 2000.09.02 is quite fine also, brilliant performance.

A future weed?

Ignore all previous statements...Smoke & Mirrors (Frankfurt 2003) is the best boot by a country mile. Not only of the Sisters Mk 4 (or whatever version we're on now), but the best boot period. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was pilfered from the band.

Oh, and best 1985 CD is now Chicago Cabaret Metro - top recording and performance, with free Von hissy fit thrown in for good measure.

Black Horizon wrote:The best 1997 bootleg is without a doubt is 'Glauchau 07/06/97'

That one is missing Vision Thing - Dublin '97 is good as is Rensburg (Sister Ray!). Philly '97 is a classic.

I'll have to go for Halloweens Day 'cause it's so damn sought after and I hadn't heard it until some week ago thanks to Markfiend! Though I got two of the record..

For me that is "Holocaust" equal to "Dark X-mas in London"

those are for me the best boots ever (what I try to say is, the recording could be not so good, but the concerts are major)
