Trust Andrew to drop Still for the show with perfectly captured vocals.

Danke for the awesome recording

[Brad]

That's exactly what I thought at the show

Why did you have to remind me!?

EDIT -- I was working on that one again yesterday!

I must say that even though I really love that they brought Floorshow back. It is way too short. It almost takes away from my happiness. It sounds so good, and the new arrengement sounds great and then... it ends. No, this is just not good enough, I am sorry.

some people are never happy..

Wow. I'm listening to the recording now, just up to Train.

It really is a different experience with those vocals eh?


Nice one, thanks Katt.

I am now thoroughly convinced that there are always going to be contradictory reports of Sisters shows. Maybe it really does matter where you are standing - I've heard the recording of this show, the vocals are clear as day. But this review (and comments I've seen elsewhere on the web) say otherwise.

It's a good review - but quotes like "And although Andrew’s vocals were buried too low in the mix, we were in for a treat indeed." and "While I’m not convinced that the backing vocals should ever overpower Andrew Eldritch’s, as during the chorus on songs like “This Corrosion� or “Dominion/Mother Russia,� guitarists Ben Christo and Chris Catalyst’s did energize the live show" do have me a bit confused. But then in the comments section there is this: "I must ask where you were standing at the show to not hear the vocals. From my vantage point (one of the black shadows in the front row in front of Andrew), the vocals were loud and overpowering. Definitely the best sound I’ve ever heard at a Sisters gig."

So - it appears no one is ever going to agree with each other on the sound, particularly this tour.

It's Heartland innit?

Well, long time no post...

This has to be the best recording of Von's vocals so far in recent years - i'm utterly impressed! Heads up Kattatonia!

Hope i'll get Floorshow in Hamburg or Cologne...

Yeah, i known, i'm kinda new on this board, even if a visited lot's of gigs in the past years... never posted anythings valueable...

so, any reader(s) going to hamburg AND cologne i'm sure i will...

best wishes to all,

That was me

Seriously gotta wonder if that person ever stepped outside of the can to hear the show.

Should've known that was a Heartlander, from the way people who attended this gig were describing the sound. And we've got recorded proof, thanks to Kattatonia_x that the vocals were loud and clear!

Wonderful bootleg, it is great so hear so well André's voice

[dinky daisy]

Hey, but what's up with them Pagan dudes that should go go go go go...? I mean, i see that Von's no longer into old folk religion, to prove he ain't king of spiritual dudettes like Wayne Hustle, but that must not mean he quits Pagans.

must it?
