Heartland

Just got back, was brilliant!, the sound was great (imho) and i loved the new version of lucretia the songs sounded tight (apart from snub nose)

and starling looked alarmingly like floodland era eldritch.

i would post a set list but i cant remember it.. probably much like the other shows..

TOL
Ribbons

etc :S

im s**t at remember the order of songs.. im sure someone else will post that

I loved "i was wrong" and when you dont see me though, but slept sounded kinda flat somehow..

Gary.

I've just got back too- what a night!

The whole set sparkled, the older stuff and the new stuff meshing well. I hadn't heard 'Suzanne' before but it sat between 'Dominion' and 'Anaconda' brilliantly. 'Ribbons' was at its menacing best, and it was good to see everyone onstage enjoying it.

I just realised that it's now just over 20 YEARS (!) since I first saw the Sisters in Manchester (Feb '82), and have seen them loads of times since- but tonight ranks with the best of them.

Let's hope some of tonight's noises make their way onto official releases soon.

Set list coming soon!

f**king quality gig

...shame about the crowd...

Liked the new Lucretia, Anaconda was co-ol, etc etc

Not entirely convinced Von was actually THERE for the first few songs due to dry ice as never seen before!

Wahoo!

And so to Saturday (or Friday, even...Smurphtastic!)

where i was the crowd seemed quite happy n dancey. Including one boy who appeared to be having a fit . But looking around there were some sectons who didnt appear interested..

And one loud mouthed annoying women behind me who did nothing but whinge like a spoilt little brat through out 'i was wrong'.

there where a couple of times when i managed to wander down as far as the second row without having to squeeze past anyone

we where about a third that way back, on the "outside" edge (facing adam) and i felt that we where kind of on the edge of the atmospheric part of th crowd. good view though

the problem with that venue is that its like a bloody aircraft hanger and unless its rammed to capacity you always have huge pockets of empty space dotted around

top gig though

Knockin on heavens door? Fix? Floorshow? C'mon guys. A friend phoned me in the middle of Alice and it sounded quite good

Good set from where I was standing, notwithstanding some absent classics. Obviously I'd have liked them to still be playing at 4.30 am but they packed up and buggered off at 10.45.
And Alice was rather better than 'quite good', though I bow to your enterprise in listening to the gig on the phone...

Any of you guy's up for the moshpit? 4 of us kick ass rock n rollers comin from Manc!

I dont know whats going on here but I thought they weren't that good, well thats my opinion any way :s

I thought it was a blinking blinder apart from When You Don't Flipping See Me.
Roll on Saturday!
