this is a wierd one:
anyone heard of a bassist by the name name Dave Provost? claims to have filled in for the sisters live (pre-floodland era), at least while they were in the states...
anyone heard of him? and know which dates he played if any?

dont have any. this dave guy is a friend of a friend of a friend, or so i gather - just wondering if his story checks out at all.
i figured maybe he could have been a temporary emergency last minute stand-in while wayne was sick, or something... maybe?

That'd be Craig wouldn't it?
Never heard of him, although John Langford did play at one Sisters gig.

I do know that Craig left the Sisters at one stage to be a photographers assistant only to come back after those US gigs. This might be the stand-in bloke but I've never heard his name mentioned.

Jon Langford played bass York University 5th Feb'82.
Also on a slightly related note, I was told that Ben Gunn left BEFORE the 2nd American tour, so the 2 dates they played (Los Angeles Alexandria Hotel 29.10.83 & San Fransisco I-Beam 31.10.83) were played without Ben Gunn. Listening to those 2 gigs, the sound is a bit thinner, so it sounds like they just played them as a 3-piece (or 4-piece if you include the Doktor).
