I think the crowd and the show was very neat anno 2009

Yep, you're both right. In 2006 (and traditionally) the crowd at a Sisters gig in Berlin is crap, but in 2009 it was fcuking awesome and everybody played along. Great gig, great audience - just as Hamburg should have been but for some strange reason wasn't.

German audiences are just overall not very involved I think. The tendency is to step back, cross your arms, and watch what these clowns on stage are doing. Doesn't have to be like that always of course. But a general tendency.

Didn't go this year, is the Caipirinha bar still there?
I hope so

...neither did I. I retired the hat. It was the only sun protection that would fit in the motorbike luggage. Ghastly.

That bar was ideally placed for sunny-drinking and the odd bout of sniggering at really bad goffs (no insult to the general G. community, but if you've been to Mera Luna, you'll know what I mean.......)

once ( march 2009) i was in Dresden to see Electric Six ( alterschlaablahblah, same venue were t'Sister played) crowd there were utter nutters. Wildest crowd i've ever witnesses, even Mr Dick Valentine said about them, as onliner, "you are f**king idiots". some underpants throwing on stage( it as a joke, but still), wild-wild mosh-pit. Then my picture of German crowd as standing still forest fall apart.

didnt see the 2006 german shows, but i agree about the 2009 berlin (amazing) and hamburg (muted) gigs.

It was the other way round in 2001, Hamburg was rocking good fun.

Yep, both nights. And so was the "after show" at Gretel&Alfons each night...

Posting quickly from an internet cafe in Sibiu, I just wanted to say that I'm very happy about the 2011 tour news!

Wow, I'd love to witness a German audience like that Whenever I'm around they think I am the nutter.

but you are, does this mean I'm German?

Woltest du ein Deutscher sein?

Thanks - I personally don't feel the need to enter any kind of moshpit during a sisters concert. I love the music but it's nothin what I consider "heavy" enough. As a matter of fact the sisters sounds more like industrial flavoured "easy listening" with electric guitars to me

I enjoyed the gig a lot in 2009, the audience was great. Tickets ordered.

well during 2006 Kraków (Cracow) TSOM gig we had a little of mosh pit.

i personally love this kind of sport even that i'm small man ( circa about as ), it gives me chance to drop all energy and just enjoy the show. once i nearly lost my glasses ( stupid me forgot to put off). but i'm trying to not be aggressive and danger to other in the crowd.

I would like to state for the record Dallas 2006 is without a doubt the most dangerous Sisters show I have seen. Ended with bruises and people being carted off to jail!
