A Word

***Wacken 2018 - view from the Jägermeister Deer

Live gigs are essential. Remembering them is sometimes even more fun (but writing tedious ;-). Short stories about great gigs - and the others as well. This is strictly non-commercial and just my humble taste/opinion.

The Mission

Location: Szene Wien, Hauffgasse 26, 1110 Vienna, Austria
This is a fast follow-up to The Sisters Of Mercy gig, but it was no match in any way, not even closely.



Buddies: Claudia, David, Frantischek, Herb
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Another gig? Probably not.

Frankly, I have never been so much into The Mission. Compared to The Sisters Of Mercy, The Mission always had something too theatrical, and of course, there is only one voice like Mr. Eldritch has. Just a few highlights (e.g. Wasteland), but much lament. Nothing more in my memory so far.

The Sisters Of Mercy II

Location: Arena, Industriegebiet Erdberg, 1030 Vienna, Austria
This gig comes long after their fabulous gig in Wien Stadthalle during their 'Vision Thing' tour and offered a range of nice surprises.




Buddies: Cloudy, Frantischek
Score: 4 out of 5 stars
Another gig? Only with new songs.
