Heartland

Anybody who knows what the line up of that one was? And is it the last gig with Tony James?

Von, Bruhn, Bricheno, James, Avalanche, Backing singer(s).

Not quite TJ's last gig - that was Winterthur Festival the following week.

Didn't they have Dan Donovan on keyboards as well? Or was that earlier in the tour?
Reading '91 was my second Sisters gig, and still the best IMHO. Fond memories of that weekend!

Could the backing singer be Suzanne Josesowicz who also doubled up as the 'Nurse to the Doktor'?

Great gig, though it provoked some friends who hadn't come across The Sisters before to stare open-mouthed for more time than you'd think was humanly possible without a lobotomy. Afterwards, all they could say was, "What the **** was that all about?"

Unfortunately the shirt I bought (Von on the front with light shining from the back) only provokes questions like "Is that a Michael Jackson t-shirt?" so it doesn't get worn so often these days.

Was it this picture by chance?


I ask because I've had the same comment about that picture painted on my leather jacket. Some people, eh?

isn't it more likely to be this one?

I seem to remember seeing a jacket like that around for a while... Don't really remember who was in it though! (Sorry)

Brain + drugs => memory = initialmemory/10

Sounds like it. Apparently she was on a Phillip Boa album after touring with the Sisters. Not been able to find a trace of her since.

First prize to QB.

Was there - can't remember a fricking thing. Up until Von parading around with American football padding chanting "Whole world in his hands"
Great gig though.

I remember alot of Ned's Atomic Dustbin fans had stuck around for The Sisters after the Neds had left the stage, and were chanting "you fat bastard!" at Eldo - he replied "I don't think sooo!"

The boot only has a couple of girls doing the usual (aka screaming Floorshow) - why is that, any of the ladiez present care to elaborate?

Could be this one that courses the confusion. And it ain't even Jacko.

Never seen this pic of Von before. Where d'you get it?

From the internet. He is SUCH a goth isn't he.

Yes- but over the years something seems to have damaged his nose.

Well he's always denied ever having plastic surgery.

Ooh- now you're on REALLY dodgy territory. Some people say he has, some people say he hasn't.

Let's compare.

Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson. Even Justin Timberlake can see that.
