Actually, your comment around the Sisters distancing themselves from the whole 'goth' thing reminded me of the first time I took the missus to see them. She was mortified to find that most of the blokes in the audience had done their make-up better than she had and reprimanded me for not having warned her so she could have put more effort in.
I know Andrew would not thank me for saying this, but he should really think about who his audience is, which is not to say that necessitates an artistic compromise. He has always claimed to be making music for himself, but an entertainer without an audience has no raison d'etre.
I long ago realised that being a musician has to be a hobby, even when I was gigging regularly, equipment and rehearsals cost more than we ever made. I've often wondered how Andrew and his merry crew make a living.
...but now you've mentioned it, I can't help but allow myself a little daydream

Never thought if it like that. I've been to so many Sisters shows I lose count & the goth element becomes almost invisible to me. I mean that in that to me it just seems normal. & yes, I have never noticed a swing toward any other genre really within the audience.
for me it is other problem: no matter what musical instruments the band uses, but if this band like the play this concert, if this band enjoy this concert. If my favourite band enjoy concert, I enjoy concert too.
But I can write other think. I wanted to write it at the end of my report and I forgot. (little morality, if I can).- it's more of a general problem
More and more people going to concerts to talk. They want to speak louder than band on stage, because they want to talk about stupid informations (who is pregnant, who broke up with whom....) If this people want do this, they can to go to bar – in bar is music too and for talking it is the better place. Talking and hysteric screaming can spoil concerts to other people who want to listen music or dancing. I hate this type of animals – especialy if they do it close to my microphone.

I agree with your point about people talking at gigs, I also occasionally go to jazz shows where there are frequently very quite and subtle passages and it is really annoying when you are losing yourself in what is happening on stage to have the mood shattered by someone around you having a catch up with their friends. I have to say though, that this has never happened to me at a Sisters gig, they have always been way too loud for anyone to hold a conversation that I could hear!

Same here. I saw the 2 shows on the A38 in Budapest & they were superb.
The 2009 show there was after the postponement when they got food poisoning & that was probably one of the best shows of the tour. Eldritch's voice was outstanding that night.
i recorded it in Prague Edirol 24bit/48 kHz, but because I had "mixed feelings" I still not listen it (not to mention to editing), SD card is still insert in my Edirol............. Forest
