what the hell r u talking about technical problems can't be unless you would count "where the hell r my pills" as a technical one goog old doc is always in good shape

The Girls' longest gig ever still isn't a veeeery long one.

The gig at Rendsburg on 20 July 1997 maybe. That one lasted over 120 minutes.

The one in Brussels in january 1998 was pretty long too in Sisters terms.

Stavenhagen 1998? (incl. 20min. Sister Ray).

Although the gig was originally planned as standard show with 17 songs, but after the set was played and overactive crowd refused to let go, the band returned for two surprise encores and played Confide in Me, which was dropped out of live repertoire early in the tour, Alice, which was by then very rare guest in setlists, Jolene and, to everybody's surprise, slow 18-minute version of song which closed their first gig, was played in most 80s gigs and which was played as surprise encore in the last gig with Tim Bricheno on 1992/08/29 in Pukkelpop festival -- Sister Ray. This version was not so much Sister Ray as long improvisation with Andrew singing his favorite songs over slowish Doktor's beat and guitarists jams. And although later the only reason band gave for playing it was "we were all drunk", fans liked it and -- like in 80s -- the song became standard 'thank you' for top audience...

yeah, supercrash looks like the longest one, poor that we are not anymore great audience enough to hear sister ray or something different from the setlist we know from 3 years or more

Oslo 1985 was the longest

Haha!

PS: Btw, i don't get this myth about Sister Ray having been a thank you for great audiences. They played it practically every night at the time they played it, and then stopped playing it almost completely on Armageddon tour (played it twice iirc). i see no reason to suspect it was any sort of thank you.

three, if you include Oslo

yeah, maybe "thank you deal" wasn't write down with 40 years old virgin blood but it's always nice to hear something unusual on 4 encore
this year there was no even ballads in setlists (except anaconda). where is the mood of 97-98 festivals? gone with hairs?

Gone with Mike & Adam.

so is rensburg 20-7-97 z,y good (recordingwise in the weeds). What about oslo, coulfn't find it although it was a long day cutting wood and we had quit some drinks afterwards

Oslo 1985 doesn't exist. The above post was apparently a joke.

it might not exist in your collection

I thought Adam had to go for a slash during Sister Ray at Rendsburg. I'd say it is a toss between that one and Brussels 1998. Btw. on the tours description it sounds as if Jolene was played before Sister Ray, it wasn't - it came after it.

Paris !!! A long 25 years wait
