I guess this one is for regular Sisters gig go-ers. I voted for 1998 - superb performances, some relatively new songs and the Sister Ray thingy as 3rd encore at most summer festival gigs.

well....1998 should be the best year be it only for the brilliant AB gig in Brussels....maybe one of the best sisters gigs ever imho

Trip the lights fantastic.
M'era Luna 2000 was amazing (and it was the last time I thought, The Sisters could really get into the 21st century) and "Crash & Burn" kicked ass!

Impossible to say, Simon, having only been to one gig per tour (usually). Best gig was NEC 92, so I'll say that one. Not so impossible after all.

That tour in '92 was the only year I didn't get to see the Sisters at all (I was at Glastonbury while the NEC gig was on). <sigh>

I only have weeds and purchased boots to go by so my top nite out would be Philadelphia 1997, saw them at The Barrowlands this year but, much as I enjoyed it, I don't think they were firing on all six.

I was going to say exactly the same. The Philli gig (kindly weeded by zaltys7) is superb. Eldritch sounds like he is back into 'logic' in a big way, if you know what I mean. Hilarious and highly entertaining.

I wish I could say 2003 but when I went to The Dam to see them I became so enamoured with the Dutch way of life I was incapable of finding The Heineken Music Hall.

Lurking at the back by the bar were we?

Oan the right hand side of the stage, drinking cans of Miller at £2 a pop! and sitting down cause I'm such a lard ass. I think the gig woulda been better at the Carling Academy, ambience and beer wise

I thought the NEC Overbombing date really kicked ass.
Other than that - M'era Luna 2000.

I know people who have been - the Academy is a rip off! Warm overpriced beer, and overzealous bouncers

By ra way, I was one of the nutter's in the moshpit, centre stage all night!

Ya Bam!

I voted for to the planet edge.. cos it was the first tour i ever saw, and also my first ever live show! and i loved it

thankyou mr eldritch...

Also the logo was pretty cool...

If you think £2 a can is bad the astoria is now charging £3 fooking quid a can!

For London that's probably still very cheap!

Gotta agree with you on that. NEC 93 is a stormng gig. Was listening to it yesterday as it happens!

Heh. It ain't easy is it. I was far happier this October, knowing I didn't have any such 'troublesome' burdens to overcome.

Scardy, who was at Glast in 92? That wasn't a Happy Mondays / scallyfest was it?

And yeah, NEC93 was also highly stonking, though if I remember right the whole hall wasn't open for the gig.

That's right, but at least they didn't insist on removing all studded items like the preious year.

The 1990 tour - it wasn't virtually identical to the previous one.

God yeah, I remember the queue to retrieve such 'items'. Fortunately I think bangles were about as accessorised as I could manage. I still miss my white 92 t-shirt as well. In 93, our lift back to Leeds insisted on turning the wrong way down the M42 on the way back. That added a good coupla hours onto the journey. Nice.

I saw him leaning on the front barrier on at least one occasion

That is very, very true Derek, it was for Neverland (a fragment) though. As I'm sure you are all aware of by now, my most very favourite Sisters track.

I just had a brief vision of Peter Steele standing in the front row at a Sisters concert, singing along to "Neverland". Beautiful.

I wish to bloody hell ide been to the 93 tour...

woe is me

After this thread, i reckon the Smurphs might do the Overbombing set!
