Hello all!

Just a question to try out your knowledge
As far as I know Black Planet has never been played live. Are there any other songs by The Sisters that never have been included in a live set? I mean official songs not demo songs.

Yours

Phantom

Black planet
poison door

1959 (fully)
Driven like the snow
torch
colours

untitled, sandstorm, ozymandias
you could be the one
i was wrong

Thank you very much! Now I have a follow up question. Why have those songs never been played live?

>>cos it only lasts 4 seconds or so

Phantom

>>cos it is an instrumental

Black planet
poison door

>> cos gary marx has the rights to the songs

1959 (fully)
Driven like the snow
torch


cos he'd need to sit behind a big piano in a white dinner suit. Natch

colours

coz it's dull

untitled, sandstorm, ozymandias


see phantom


you could be the one

cos it's too rock & roll for the new band and involves a portly German character

i was wrong

don't know, i love this song to death

"Thank you very much! Now I have a follow up question. Why have those songs never been played live?"

Hmmm...maybe because ol' Von hates us?

Thank you again Paint it Black!

Even if Gary Marx has the rights to Poison Door and Black planet I think it's strange that they weren't played live at the time he was in the band. At least Poison Door is quite catchy and would be a great live number!

perhaps Andrew thinks that Poison Door is to g*th

Rights to songs wouldn't be a problem, they still play (butcher) First and Last and that was a Marx tune, also the Blackplanet video was shot after Marx departed.

Basic law is you can re-record or play any song, but you have to ask the copyright holder if you wish to change the lyrics, or tune distinctly

Just to be pedantic, I'll say that AE did perform 'I Was Wrong' live once on Belgian TV (with a drummer!) in 1993.

ahh, yes! peter's pop show. but wasn't that german? not belgian?

all references i can find on the web about the series say it was filmed in durtmund, and shown on ZDF...

and what a drummer he was.

well, it was mimed live.

I think we'll all agree that is was the sisters' finest hour.

They should use that chain effect more often.

it was the heavy metal axemen i like the most!

such hair to behold! splendid!

i loved those little animated guitars whizzing around the screen too...

I've never seen a video of this legendary performance on Peter's Pop Show - I take it it's not really worth tracking down?

I'm sure they played "I was wrong" at one of the 10th Birthday gigs at Leeds Uni/Poly.
I'll check though, coz I nabbed the set-lists. I'll probably find out I was wrong. ho ho!

"worth tracking down" Of course it is - what sort of Sisters fan are you

Seriously tho, it's really funny - Andrew, Adam, and what looks like most of whitesnake camping it up in a fully lit studio.

Classic.

oh yes it is. It's "special". I could watch it all day. With the volume down.

The yellow smokers jacket, short, short hair, UtG era sunglasses, backing singers, awful stage... I could go on and on.

I would really like to "liberate" (read as obtain) this live rendidtion of "I Was Wrong" - do any of the learned masters on this forum have a URL i could possibly be able to download it from - or any other Sisters on Video for that matter - I would be eternally greatfull!

How ironic would it be if they performed it on this upcoming tour.

Pray tell - why would the playing of "Bury Me Deep" be Ironic? - I am being a Schlepp or something - (apart from its GOTH feel, of course)

'Fraid my copy of Peters pop is a dodgy old vhs, and despite my techy leanings I've never had the kit to turn my vids digital.

I'm pretty sure that (beyond that new live vid) theres no sisters movs on the web - there was a whole page of em for a while but they went - sharey-type programs are no use either :-(

I've never seen it wither.
But regarding Sisters videos on the web, well, i currently have on my computer (all this was d/l from kazaa):

* all the wake set, which is divided into seven parts
1- falaa, body and soul
2- marian, no time to cry
3- walk away, possession
4- emma, amphetamine logic
5- a rock and a hard place, floorshow
6 - alice, fix
7- knocking on heavens door
* 1959
* detonation boulevard
* dr jeep
* dominion
* lucretia my reflection
* more
* temple of love 1992 (the complete video, most people on kazza don't have the whole thing)
* temple of love live on totp in 1992 i think
* this corrosion
* under the gun
and a few mov. files which are not that great regrding quality but anyway
* black planet
* body and soul
* falaa
* marian
* no time to cry
* walk away
and more recently, from a french website which was posted here in heartland
* we are the same suzanne, live St. Vith

All this was gathered through the web, so there are at least a few running around.

has MORE ever been done live? i haven't seen a bootleg with it yet...
would also like to hear WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ME live.

Well, and what about, ahem... You Could Be the One?

They should play this one live if they haven't already

Maybe they could have a whole gig with only the songs they never played live.

At risk of being shown as wrong again


more was aired a lot around 1992 and abit in '93

and when you don't see me was played for the speed kings warm up gig in 1990

a rather nice gentleman from South Africa has a rather cool tool for checking what songs have been played when
