I will call you.

Very loud, good sound. Vocals up in the mix.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Nothing surprising, they're very good.

On the beach definitely had some new keyboard parts. Not that Chris was playing them but you know what I mean.

No FALAA, but otherwise the same.

They started about 10 or 15 minutes later than usual. I'm not familiar with this venue, but I've seen before where a venue has a club night so gigs have to finish earlier, so maybe that was the case here? Or maybe they were just feeling it didn't work well with only Ben's guitar?

So, when Ben did his move to front of stage for guitar solo thing, as he often does, this is the first time I've heard what sounded like fangirl screams of adulation every time

I'm sure I didn't imagine this, and I'm equally sure he was loving it ..

Yes, there was a group of quite young fans, locals I'd guess, nearby; done up in full goth gear and doing the "cobweb pulling" dance to every single song. Really getting into it.

They also didn't pause before the encore and just went straight into Temple, they were up against it time wise I think

oh what a night and once again fantastic gig! :notworthy: :notworthy:
the energy on stage once again excellent you can see von pulling his weight as lead singer and enjoying himself with Ben and they are just doing it.
von had a fag on stage holding onto it unlit and starts looking at us who wants it? didn't see me lift up my hand as i am a smoker and then just curls it at the audience hitting Martin in the face :lol:
was definitely more chatter on stage than in A'dam.
Ben was just doing what he does and love and respect to him. Chris was solid tipped the shades to have a look see which added to Chris being himself.
crowd was more younger generation than what i saw in Paradiso but awesome that they are there..the power of awesome music :wink:
loved hearing the new songs really dynamic hearing live so kudos to Dylan's input to the band. my respect to him will always be bringing in that other dynamic to the band.
singing and dancing to the rest of the older songs sent me to that nostalgic place where i was a teenager again i thought the world was my oyster where one thing was for sure i would go to Europe and see TSOM live and that happened and have been seeing them play live for over a decade and still love them as much now as then.
*bubble burst...
so it was an awesome gig again Paradiso was better but indeed because of the intimate feeling it gives but Utrecht was just as fun.
the finding of you dear friends that mostly don't post on here anymore, was easy and it was awesome catching up with you and the drinks and laughs and sheer enjoyment of a good evening always feels like being around a family from all parts of the world and that within itself is just bliss :notworthy:
to those carrying on the tour have an epic time go with good vibes and energy and you will receive!
thank you to the band :notworthy: :kiss: :notworthy:
love forever and always 💜🖤💜🖤 :notworthy:

It would have been so lovely to meet you! Hopefully there will be a next time!!
I had THE most amazing trip. Still can't quite believe I've seen The Sisters at Paradiso and Tivoli. Bucket list ticked for sure 8)
And everyone I encountered was so lovely and helpful :notworthy:
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy
With massive thanks to Ruffers for his company and help.

So, my first overseas trip to see The Sisters (or any band) was amazing!
Not just for the shows, but for the whole experience. Beautiful cities and lovely people.
The trip took me way out of my comfort zone, and I have @ruffers to thank for being there for me
Fingers crossed there's a next time

It's easy to be nice to a nice person. :notworthy:

I was so delighted to see you having such a good time, there's something special about this band and these occasions that brings us all together. I'll never grow tired of this feeling.
