I hear the roar of the big machines

I will post a more detailed review of the Sisters of Mercy show later, but yes, what everyone else has said is true: the fog machine was cranked into overdrive, thus hiding the band, and the sound was crap. However, thanks to a wacky chain of events, I was standing on the side of the stage when they started playing "Dominion/Mother Russia". And I was ushered past security to stand in front of the barricades for a couple of songs. So while the show was nowhere near the best it could have been (and that is an understatement of gigantic proportions), *I* had oodles of fun.


(Yes, the rumors are true: Andrew Eldritch now looks like an older, drug-ravaged Spider Jerusalem. Which yes, means he also looks like a drug-ravaged elder brother to stroppy_baggage. I find this amusing AND unnerving.)
