Heartland

I got at the show in Paris 2011 a set of 9 free postcards from various tour of the Sisters (Sisters on cake 16/02/01 - Exxile on Euphoria York - Sisters Europe 2005 - Sisters to the planet edge 1999 etc.)
Does anyone have info about that set, what it was exactly ? (there is no info on the back of these postcards)

IIRC they were given out for free during the XXX tour.
I have a few packs in a box somewhere that I picked up from the Budapest shows

Thanx, I think that's it
There was also one postcard with a "Thank you" and signed by Andrew.

Aye, that's right

Ah, these wonderful tour postcards for the 30th Stage Anniversary Tour SISTERS XXX. I love them.
That was really kind of The Sisters to give a pack to every visitor at the entrance of the first gigs of that tour ... ...

Yes, and I think it says a great deal about the man, and his sense of occasion, appreciation of the loyal fan base.

He means it and it is true not a joke

oh yes, it's absolutely true! thats how it was at Leeds anyway on the actual birthday- half of the members of this forum were there including myself. it may not have been a lot, but these were free gifts, paid for out of his own pocket, that showed a little bit of thought and a lot of love.

it flies in the face of this idea that Eldritch thinks nothing of his fans, which as any of us who have actually met him know is bullshit. he's a private and shy individual who doesn't suffer fools gladly or want to be constantly harangued by obsessive's; but should you get the chance to respectfully shake him by the hand and thank-him for all the pleasure he's given you over the years he will genuinely tell tell you that it was his pleasure to have done so and thank-you for saying it.

Another example; During tour thing in Germany 91, at one date, he invited fans that spent the night sleeping in the train station to eat breakfast with him.

These postcards are referenced somewhere here ? Cause I've scanned/photoshopped all of them if it might be interesting.

Perhaps put them in the Gallery

yes i heard that story. how cool is that?

And these postcards were given to all the shows finally?

Not sure about all the XXX shows, but at most of them.
You can check the gigography in the awesome Sisters wiki
It'll tell you which shows.

I got mine in Paris (Le Trianon) concert, in Helsinki same year there were no postcards and no cupcakes

I think I'll add these postcards to the wiki then. For the sake of history

They will however sell you a new record.

I've finally uploaded them on the wiki and Being645 did a precise introductory line : http://sisterswiki.org/Sisters_XXX_Tour_Postcards
