Have MORE ever been played live by The Sisters?
Any recordings available?

It was played a few time while Andreas was still playing in the band. Check out some of the 1992 and 1993 setlists. There are some recordings making the rounds.

I saw them do it at Birmingham in 92.
There is a recording, but it isn't the greatest quality.

I had a little chat with Ben before the Luxembourg gig (Esch-Sur-Alzette) and he told me he would love to play More live but Von wasn't keen on playing it. Maybe Ben is able to convince him and we get it live somewhere in the future? I would love to hear a 2007 live version of it

i suppose Eldritch doesn't think More works well without female background singers?
Maybe for the 2007 tour he should get some

aye, i thought the same thing...
the sheer pompousness and scale of the studio version of
more relies on the backing vox and string sections.
i dont think it has enough of an underlying song to work stripped down and
guitared-up (certainly the few live versions i have heard sounded pretty ropey), unlike the live version of "this corrosion", which is actually a funky beast even without the chiors

The strings and choirs should not pose a problem, if only Andrew would hire
the right people with the right equipment!

We'd just get people whining about "the concert's all pre-recorded"...

Indeed, my dear Watson...
Mebbies I'm the only one doing something live, who knows?

I've got my only live version of it on that Dark Christmas in London boot from 93. Sounds
very ropey to me too. I guess you have to have the female backing but I'd like to hear it without.
The backing singer on that boot makes me cringe when she's doing Come Together

The recording from the Birmingham NEC gig is pretty good actually.
It was a superb gig that one, and when the strings start up the place went bananas.

It was a top gig and indeed it did go mad when the strings started.... I have a boot of it on good old fashioned cassette.
Wouldnt even know where to start to try and get it uploaded onto my computer though

I have three live versions of more, and they're coming to an upload site near you
I would love to hear the "disaster" that happened during More at Leysin was it? or Loreley? I heard something went terribly wrong

The first time it was played live in the UK was NEC 27.06.92 : there was a massive roar when it started. Last time was the final overbombing date (I think) - 22.12.93 in Birmingham.
Wish it would come back, it's a cracker. Then again, the 02-03 shows where they finally brought back Dr Jeep, When You Don't See Me, I Was Wrong, Lucretia et al. after some fairly vocal comments on Dominion and elsewhere indicates that Eldo does listen.

More @ Lorelei 1992
sorry but it's mp3, and it sounds ok

The Birmingham '92 one is truly brilliant.
From the exhausted reciting at the start to the utter out-of-control howling, a real masterpiece.
(Apart from the tape skipping, of course..)
