We are The Sisters of Mercy and we are a rock and roll band

I'm looking for a stonking recent (post-96) version of Body Electric, where Von says at the beginning "We are the Sisters..." I have no idea which gig it is, but BE apparently was the opener that night.
Any idea folks ?

One of the London gigs probably. But he did say that quite often...

Come to think of it - it probably is Philly '97.

I have an '82 boot where Eldritch says "We're the Sisters Of Mercy! This one *mumbles for about 10 seconds* FLOORSHOW!!!"

So energetic. :lol:

Didn't he start that show by saying "We are The Verve"?

Since they were flown in to replace The Verve...
