lorca review

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I must say that i´m a hardcore fan and even i enjoyed the heineken 2003 but yestarday was the worst gig that i´ve seen(and i´ve seen 11)

the festival was good, really good sound and craps bands, when i got the festival i thought the sound is quite loud so i expected a good sisters show

well 21:35 and the fog starts and the intro, the intro sound quite loud so i thought it will be great. something starts wrong more than 10 minutes of intro imagine my nervous

so tha band turn up on stage ribbons starts(whit good sound) and 30 seconds later stops, technical problems i thought

so the gig starts but the sound is not the same. the volumen was lower than the other bands and the andrew´s voice was really LOW
too much bass and crap sound, incredibles mistake whit the echoes in the andrew´s hight notes, flood 2 was horrible. i couldn´t hear the voice of andrte properly.

the set list was quite good:

ribbons, first, crash and burn, doctor/detonation, will i dream, still,giving ground, sussane, dominion, summer, alice, anaconda, flood 2, lucretia, top nite out, temple, vision thing, this corrosion(whitout encores)

in my whole life have been so angry!! THINKING SERIOUSLY IF GO TO ZOTTEGEM(AND I´VE GOT TICKETS, AIRPLANE TICKETS,CAR RENTTED..)

the positive thing that the crowd respect the band and try to enjoy(there were about 6000 or 7000 people) if this happen in madrid for instance,it would be an autentic caos...

nice to see there to x-ray,eggy,eva,tomas,indrek,jens

THE SISTERS HAVE REAL PROBLEMS WHIT THEYR SOUND(TECHNICIANS OR WHAT EVER)

after the sisters i saw marilin manson a bit whit an incredible souns. all my friend saying me this is the band that you waste your money PLEASE STOP DOING IT(imagine how i fell???)

IT´S MY PERSONAL OPINION(I TALKED WHIT THE HEARTLANDERS AND THEY ENJOYED)

It is a real problem as I said several times on this forum. They really need to hire a new live sound engineer ...

Other bad news is that the setlist is still the same, Eldritch is getting more and more lazy, sad :(

i can´t imagine the sound in zottegem that the gig will be in a tent....

I agree with all that Diego said, the sound wasn´t as good as others shows, I tried to get to the first rows where the sound was a little bit better. I enjoy myself dancing and singing. People´s attitude to the band was really good. It was another sisters show, nothing special but good setlist. I wish the sound could had been better. Hope solve sound problems for the rest of the tour.

It was nice to see many heartlanders!!

Sorry to hear the gig was so crap, especially if other bands' sound was good. But don't let it put you off Zottegem Diego - The Sisters are just one of these bands who can be s**t one gig and utterly stunning the day after. I was fuming that I had to miss a great Bristol gig in 2003, so I negotiated time off with my boss and headed down to Manchester for the next one - and it was s**t! No particular reason - sound was OK, no techincal problems, but neither the band nor the crowd seemed up for it that night. Just luck I suppose.

Well, i'd rather have a great show with bad sound and tech problems instead of a great sounding gig without glitches but with marilyn manson :D

Nice to see some people liked it regardless!

Thanks to everyone for reviews and such.

And do you think a great show with a great sound would be possible, or is it too much to ask ? That would be the best for sure ;)

Sound problem similar to Bielefeld 2006, for me it was something to laugh about, technicians and band slightly helpless and confused of course. But it was funny. And yes, sound could have been better - I couldn't hear ben's guitar very well, but Von's voice was on top, and I completely agree with Xray: Best Giving Ground ever. In fact I had the impression that Von was trying some minor changes in the way he usually sings certain songs, and that was interesting to listen to. Besides the band had fund and enjoyed the moshpit about as much as the moshpit enjoyed itself. Oh, the the long angry faces of the (mixed gender) MM kiddies who couldn't cope with the movement let alone expected any such thing as a lively crowd for a band they didn't have a clue of. Some bickering was exchanged, some kicking and pushing.... :lol:

All in all: I really enjoyed myself a lot at the edge of the moshpit, seeing all those people joining in, and it was great to see that the moshpit didn't only consist of the usual suspects...

Setlist: Yes, the usual stuff, but the usual best stuff. And the ending 3 songs were a great finish...:D

Greetings to everyone we met. And yes, Diego, you seemed very disappointed, but I hope you'll make up your mind and join us in Zottegem. As Andrew said: Sometimes the Sissies are great some other times they're crap, and individual experiences of one and the same gig may differ hugely anyway. Maybe you expected more than I... :wink:
You can't fix stupid.
