NEC 27.6.92
Camden 11.2011

Many times inbetween...

1st time: Clermont-Ferrand 29 Nov. 2011 (celebrated the anniversary 2 days ago by watching the videos available on youtube)
last time: Amphi Festival 21 Jul. 2012

It took me 27 years of appreciation and patience + a costly transatlantic flight to finally get to see them in what used to be my home town... I still don't regret it a slightest bit. And Amphi was great too i.m.o..
And I would definitely go and see them again. Even if it's obviously not the same as seeing them in the 80's, but they wouldn't play France at the time and I was too young to travel abroad on my own...

Last gig was that same Amphi Thing in Cologne...

Seconded...on all parts!

Great minds & all that

First was Wembley 1992. Last was probably Glasgow Barrowlands in 2000.
edit - also saw them in 2003 at Barrowlands

First : Gent Sportpaleis 16.05.1991
Last : Köln Amphi 21.07.2012
Total : 77 in 13 different countries
Best : Almost all of them and far too many to mention, but absolute top gigs were Gent 1991, Amsterdam 2006, Leamington 2010 and Budapest both nights 2011
Worst : Nothing in particular but Paris 2006 could have been better
Missed chance : AE could have done "Under the gun" with Lisa at Amphi
Next : the first one that will be announced in Europe or Middle East
T-shirt collection : 125, original as well as bootleg
Meeting Andrew : Vienna (2005), Leeds (2011) and Helsinki Airport between Helsinki gig and flight to Japan (2011)

Yes, indeed while we're waiting for the next one to arrive

First was by accident (wasn't a fan then, was just on a night out with a friend) 83 or 84 ish (can't remember) Nottingham
First proper NEC '92
Last Leeds '11 (both nights)

San Francisco Kabuki 01 June 1985
Philahelphia Roundhouse 31 Oct 2008

(the Kabuki tape everyone's got was my recording... nothing to brag about quality wise)

Yeah good question wait a little while for my reply okay thanks

First: Detmold, 29/05/1984
Last: Amphi Cologne, 21/07/2012
Best: Detmold '84 and RAH '85
Worst: I don't know, but presumably one the late 1990's gigs I've attended

First - Birmingham NEC 1993
Last - Manchester Academy 2003
Best - Manchester Apollo 1997. Great,great night and AE seemed to genuinely enjoy the gig. Perfect sized venue. He was crystal clear vocally too...big difference from 2003.

Did anyone see a comment from Chris the other day, where he used their appearance as a question on Pointless as partial justification for The Sisters continued relevance to the world at large. (That and increased attendance at gigs in the last year - which i concede he probably has a point on)

Must have missed that

So their appearance on a quiz show about obscurity proves their relevance to the world at large... You get the impression Chris hasn't actually got the hang of Pointless yet, don't you?
