Fix

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Once upon a time in a car far far away...

...I had a tape of a live Sisters gig that had an encore including 'Fix' that was very industrial. Was from the early to mid '90's. The tape case had a bluish sleeve picture of Von.

Sadly the car's* tape player chewed it up after a while, so I am now trying to track down said live recording - any clues ? Date/location ??

Thanks.


* The car was sent on a way trip to the crusher shortly afterwards which was only fitting.

Yes, I think that is the one - I don't remember the 'Stop Dragging my Heart Around' bit' but then 15+ years ingesting does make one forget things.

Thanks.

Hmm, now off to the Sharing part...

Wow, that Youtube clip brings back memories...
I was at the NEC 92 & have to say the Stop Dragging My Heart Around bit is still the most surreal moment of any Sisters gig ever! From when :von: started & then kept going... Just utterly fantastic! He should ditch Ben, Chris & the Doc, & just go it alone!

Well, on the evidence of Fix - maybe not the doc!
