there's a lot of debate in the silver bullet forum about the length of the current sisters shows which seem to be clocking in at around 80 minutes.

Am I dreaming or have all sisters shows been on the short side.....since way back. I didn't take a stopwatch to the shows in the 80s to confim but that the impression.

plus the boots I've got of shows like the tiffanys newcastle only run to 90 odd minutes.

I think the problem is too much filler and not enough killer in the set lists.....

BTW anyone know what the longest and shortest Sisters gigs were.....?

Some gigs around 1997-1998 were quite long. Some over 2 hours, like Stavenhagen and Rendsburg for example.

Who was it said "real bands release records" again???

A lot of them even clock in at under 60 mins. Presumably whatever lethal concoction Von had ingested was wearing off by then?

Wasn't it said that promotors/venues basically have two options - a long set and a short one? And that there is a difference in cost. The latter is probably the reason they could take it state-side and make it such an extensive tour around Europe. Also, I'd say Ben is a little less expensive then Mr. Whammy...

I´ve been checking my bootleg of U2 in Madrid and they played 22 songs..

and I payd 74 euros

the sisters play about 19 or 20 songs. it´s more o less 80 minutes whit the breaks can be 90.... for me is the normal time for a gig...

every time that i go to one sisters gig,when it finish I´m exhausting!!!!!

Can someone split the crap from this one please (and delete this message)?

One of the Wembley dates on the Vision Thing tour was around 1 hour 40 mins, I'm guessing that is probably as long as any Sisters gig has been? Shortest are presumably the early York/Leeds supports, 3 songs only on some of those boots?

Think some of the 97/98 gigs were the longest. The AB one in '98 clocking close to two hours I believe and the Rensburg one close to that as well. That said the Prague one from '98 is probably one of the shortest ones - but that might have to do with the near riot.

I remember the York racecourse gig in '84 being a bit on the short side..or maybe I'd passed out or fallen asleep at the thought of the Bunnymen playing..ho ho
