NEC 92 was my first Sisters gig and I liked it. I'll defer to anyone who saw them earlier, but it was my benchmark up to now.
No, I misread..... It is the pins in my head. They play havoc with my thought process.

I think it was any of the big stadium type venues that I tended to not like, which is probably my thought about the NEC and others like it. I just think that the band suit small, dark, places which contain dry ice well.... like Rock City....

600 mile round trip, four hour flight delay (cheers for that, LBA!) and finally home - photos etc to follow: a few quality ones from the dry dock! - but just to say thank you to all for making me (and my +1) feel so welcome - two cracking gigs: roll on next time

The best two gigs I've seen the last 10 years, at least. I want more.
First night better than the second IMHO.

I have to agree a little here...
'92 NEC was the last time I saw them, and at the time I thought it was an excellent gig especially as I had managed to get back stage, (acidentally getting lost) meeting MrE having a lengthy convo with him about football, The m*****n, That Guitarist and The Nephilim (of which he said "they took our early sound and did it better although the flour was a bit dodgy") . I then asked him to wear his "Top of The Pops Coat", so imagine my surprise when he appeared out of the smoke singing Comfortably Numb wearing it, I was on a right high!
Those memories stayed with me foe 19yrs odd, and now being that much older, and seeing them in a small venue in Leeds, again being fortunate enough to of had a conversation with MrE, this time about my choice of clothes, I feel that I have finally seen the Sisters as they should be seen, small dingy, smokey and reminiscent of their beginnings, excellent!!

Going through similar delays as Batty ( & requiring an overnight stay in Toronto), I finally managed to arrive home safe & sound
Through all the pain of travelling back (with major lack of sleep) it all seems to be worth it for the two cracking nights with The Sisters on the 16th & 17th
I had hoped they would play Rain From Heaven & got my wish on the second night (which I recorded on my camera!) & Neverland! That was a pleasant surprise - I believe my face looked like this ->
once they started playing it.
Meeting Chris, Ben(wow) & Simon(thanks muchly for your hat) briefly, it was a pleasure
And I want to thank those Heartlanders I met for making my very first & second Sisters gig experiences two wonderful nights

Huge thanks to all the Heartlanders for making a trip to Leeds to remember.
The dry dock was a blast and it was great to meet so many of you at once.
Extra special hello to Quiffy, Mh , Lex 3000 and Hom Corleone you guys are great.
Has our friend from new zealand posted that picture yet
Loved both shows, Gift that shines is a new favourite although pipeline I'm not so sure about.
Hope to see you all again soon.

I certainly enjoyed Wednesday more than Thursday but that may have been due to levels of intoxication.
I fell in love with blonde cupcake girl and regards an earlier post, yep Weebs, it was me who left the poster at your house!

Nope, just forgot! Though "Bon Jovi pish" is about right. It's not like I'm gonna stick it on the wall like a kid is it so I don't really know why I bought it!

finally unpacked - back to the real world!
Have really enjoyed reading everyones reviews and its great to see the setlists - we were very far to stage right so while we were spoiled with a wall of sound, had missed a few of the onstage goings on
bighugethanks to the lovely Weebles (I ammmm the passengerrrr!), Tim Sinister + Natasha, Quiffboy and Welsh tony, Stella, The Beautiful Gerlinde and Hollylicious, Hellboy and everyone else who made it such fun
Smash really isn't a very good hangover cure as it turns out, despite my best attempts to convinve everyone :/ I want to be part of the tower next time!

Not as loud, sure...
Ah, the NEC 92! What a gig, what a night! I convinced myself that Leeds wins but then I think of Fix, hearing Comfortably Numb/Stranger for the first time... but.... Kiss the carpet, more... okay - it's a tie!

Cracking to see so many of you last week. Gigs were outstanding, which in and of itself was a bloody surprise, but that's the view from the pit, where a good time is guaranteed no matter.
Enjoy the rest of the tour, cheers Von & co, back to the jobs section...

You don't win a prize, unfortunately...
