Just got home
What an absolutely stunning show
I hardly can believe anyone was complaining, you should've been there, everyone joined in, even way up the back in the seats people were stomping with their feet to make some noise.
Wonderful setlist, no surprises, but extremely well worked out, highlights from each and every Sisters era.
Obviously all the HLers were top people once and again too. Debs and Jos are still on their way home (we drove together but split up right before Antwerp), was an honest joy travelling together with you guys. Travelling to Paris with the two of you and Pat & Leo (lovely car guys, really!) was great too, very sorry we didn't get to say goodbye to the two of you Pat! (Make Leo to get his arse up here
). The other Belgian boys were great too, as ever
Then there's the others, Johnny, you're a great man, lovely to get to meet you again
Would've been great if you would've been able to join us in our picknick this morning, but then again you were in more of a rush than we were
Great to meet Lucien too, you're a very fine person too, should come over to Europe more often (or will the next HL-do be in SA?
).
Great to stand next to Quiffy and Jo during the gig too! We spotted they were just Milli Vanilli all the way, didn't we
Top folks
The great doc P was obviously his lovely enthousiast self again, great to meet your wife too
Very nice to meet PiB as well, you're a nice man, and the Snoweys were great too obviously! And then obviously Badlander and doctoravalance, you're both nice guys
(thanks for posting the fur coat pic, BTW, bloody hilarious
)
So, let me see, did I
everyone?
Ah, go on, have another one
> goes out to all of you!
Then the gig, as mentioned, was great, everyone was really into it, some goths annoy everyone, but hey, that's life at a Sisters gig I'm affraid
Support was rubbish, but then that only made the Sisters themself even better. The two slow songs were really magic! You could hear Von had a bit of a sore throat, but he managed it really quite well!
Actually, I like it better, this way he has to manage it much more when he howls, and can't get too high - which usually is the part I don't like him doing
Ben, the new guitarist was lovely too, and he was really enjoying himself! Just the way I like it
Ladies: Stand at the left side of the stage
There was quite some smoke too, hardly saw Von while I was standing right in front of Ben, but I didn't mind, it really added to the overall experience, and lessened after one or two songs.
I
need more
