The Sisters of Mercy - Festival Marés Vivas, Vila Nova de Gaia - 17.07.2008 (Flac)


The concert that made a lot of fans fear for the worst... I was there with my friends and for 15 days we were still discussing what happened...

During Flood II you can hear that mostly Andrew mumbles instead of singing, making this one of the worst versions of the song I ever heard... Followed by:

Apparently a technical problem with Andrew's mic turned This Corrosion into a miserable affair with only the instruments and the background voices, very sad indeed. Andrew disappeared in the smoke only to return for the last verses of the song. The general opinion on the ground was that he had lost his voice or didn't give a damn about singing the lyrics anymore. The fact that the entire band seemed lost after that and all the songs were rushed didn't help also.

Peter Murphy closed the night with a brilliant performance afterwards, wich made things even worse and left a bad taste in the mouth of every Sisters fan. In defence of the band we can state that this was the first concert of 2008 after a break of several months and soon after they played a stonking gig in Suikerrock Festival.

    A strong feeling of dissatisfaction. It was, for me, the beginning of the end of world but without the fun in it!

    Fuck! This post should be banished!
