New (old) sisters fan query....

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

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...

That's why I chose the word "later"

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.
