New (old) sisters fan query....

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.

I'm seeing the Sisters at the upcoming Manchester date but I could do with some homework!!

By the early 90's I was a more casual fan and although I was at reading 91 I never saw them/him again and in fact I have not heard anything after Temple of love....

So could some kind soul tell me where I should look/search on the later material? I understand the later/newer songs have only been performed live?

Oh don't worry I didn't get swallowed up by 90's brit pop, I was still keen enough on music to be into Vendemmian, Stun, Suspiria and others...

Hello & welcome :)

Well, first point of call would be here

You should find all the later songs knocking about in some form or other.
Youtube's also worth a gander, although the quality will vary quite a bit.

All that being said......YCBTO.
Yes or no?
;D
Cheers.

Trying to listen at work, no good (not on this tinny speaker). I'll listen at home later.

I went to the Mish/Blood Brothers gig a few weeks back at Gorrilla, great night. I hope for something approaching that from Mr Eldritch

I'm keeping my expectation low(ish) I'm thinking some young musicians, lots of dry ice and at the back a man on a bar stool in a Jogging suit/Hawaiian shirt.

Hi,
I haven't seen them for years due to circumstances far beyond my control but it was on my bucket list. I can't wait to see them this time round and I couldn't believe my luck when this tour came up.
The Blood Brothers/Mish gig in The Tiv was great but this is going to be really special for me.
Youtube and maybe bootlegs if you can get your hands on some.

A damn fine source of all things Sisters related and more... but here's a great live compilation of most of the new* unreleased stuff...

For a reasonable idea of what to expect, @Grufti, just type "Sisters of Mercy" and "Linz" in the search bar on YouTube and you will see some great vids (many by HLers :notworthy: ) of one of the recent (2014) gigs generally agreed to have had the best sound quality, with not too much dry ice ! There are a few of the more recent songs ("Still", "Crash and Burn" etc) amongst them.
