A Shirt on Sunday: Sisters of Mercy - 20/09/19 - Roundhouse

I was a fan back in the day but never got around to see them until early 2000 ish at Rock City in Nottingham and it's still up there as one of the worst gigs I've been to. They'd remixed all the songs into some dirge so nobody knew what song was what and only in the encore did they played a couple of songs the right way. Eldritch then moaned about people only wanting to hear the same old stuff which was a bit rich as they'd not released anything since Vision Thing in 1990.
I still listen to the old stuff sometimes but wouldn't go see them as he's still dining out on songs from over 30 years ago and it's clear from the newer unreleased stuff they play he wasn't the creative power behind the classics he liked to claim he was.

Good points, well made. The songs were certainly recognisable this time but agree that the new ones didn’t feel very epic.
