OOh I'm all excited about the Sisters gig in Leeds, it will be only the second time I've got to see them (1st was in Manc in 2000 - yeah, I know, I'm newbie scum)

Was just wondering wot was the first Sisters gig youse all went to? Was anyone lucky enough to see them in the FALAA days?

you are not the only one - this time in Berlin will be also for me the 2nd Sisters gig. the first was last year in Hildesheim (M'era Luna Fest).
although i've been their fan until 1990.
i wish i could see them in 1983
(but... to be true - i was 12 then. and behind the iron curtain - i mean the ussr)

Yeah, I wish I could have seen them in 1983, but I was three. and more of a Wham! fan

My first and only was in Stockholm, Sweden 1991. I can't get rid of the thought that see them again might break the magic memory of that night...

First time I saw them was Hamburg Dock's, 16 and 17 Nov 1990. On 16th I stayed a little further back and enjoyed watching the show, 17th I was right down the front and lasted until Gimme Shelter when I had to move back and get a drink of water of I'd have passed out. Oh happy days!

Wembley 1990 Sat.

Down the front all night

Spent a day on the phone tracking down standing tickets, twas well worth it

Manchester 2000 was my first sisters gig

If I can get to the London gig in a couple of weeks it'll be my 4th Sisters gig.

Made it to :
Brixton 97
Forum 98
Nottingham 00 so far.

I had tickets for the NEC in 92, but transport fell through.

1983... i was minus one
wolverhampton's gonna be my first sisters gig
eeeeek! cannae wait!

I'm not even going to post on this thread, since i've never been to a Sisters gig

1991, in Hultsfred. It was a good show and a magical drive there.

My first Sisters' gig was in Milan (10-03-1991) and it was a very very nice show. Unfortunately, I had to wait til last June to see them again on stage...

Ditto for me Ed, although I only managed to get seated tix...
The gig as I remember, was fabulous, although the Reading Festival performance the following year (my 2nd gig) surpassed it, and I was right down the front for that one. It's still my favourite gig.

The first Wemberlee night...

Have to admit I was unimpressed somehow...

Think the venue was just soooooo 'big' and I was so far back that it lost summat.

Also I was in the seated bit (I do remember there was a standy uppy bit at the front) which always kills the atmos.

The support (The Mothers if I remember correctly - who the fook were they?) were cr*p I seem to recollect...

And generally it was a bit of a disappointment...

Plus I remember wheezing all the way back up to Leeds cuz of all the cigarette smoke I'd had the misfortune to passively inhale...bl**dy g*ths, eh???

They HAVE improved since then.

Here's to Manchester 'n' Leeds in April...

The Mothers indeed!

It was so quiet during their set that I was able to heckle at will.

My constant enquiries before each tune as to whether was to be the last song, resulted in the sing repeatedly bashing his head on the mike till it bled.

I seam to remember barracking them about a shiny blue acoustic guitar, too. Why? I forget

But the best think was when the vocalist finally said 'This is the last song' It nearly lifted the roof off Wembley!!!

I lost my Sisters "Cheery" at Reading 91 - I was only 3 rows from the front, in the middle, when my girlfriend at the time fell over - not a goodthing (sic) to do with 45,000 people behind you - all pushing forward.

My personal fave gig (so far) was June 92 in the NEC (Brum!) - standing tiks - down the front! Woot Woot!!

Very much looking forward to Bristol in a few weeks

Boston, March, 1991.

After the show, I met (or at least said hello to/was acknowledged by) all of the band members, save one. Guess which one that was? I did have a personal "revelation" a bit later, though, hehehe...

The show and its aftermath was, for me, what I'd assume an out-of body experience might be like... *Sigh*

oh you'll see my lot... tiaras, feather boas, afro wigs, legwarmers... can't miss us

1992 I *think*...Leeds...liked them since '86 as a result of getting into them thro' the 'other lot'...

They were great...& then I left it 10 years to go & see them again (not sure why - probably combination of '91-94, running bar at small music venue, snooty about Big Rock Gigs, & 96'-'99, running a pub in the arse end of nowhere, unable to get to anything more rock'n'roll than Sheringham Seaside Carnival...don't ask). Saw them at Leeds & Brum last year & was monumentally underwhelmed - still going to see them 4 times this year, but that's mostly because I'm easily led & Ed tells me there'll be beer on sale...

There will.

4 times? Lightweight!!!!

5 times is what you want to be doing!!!!!

The Saturday night at Wembeley in 1990 was my first time.
Favourites since include Reading '91, Mer'a Luna in 2000 and
York Vanbrugh 16/02/01.
