This live performance is incredible, much better and deep than the studio version, they did their best in the Royal Albert, I guess it was one the last performances of Wayne Hussey on guitar; This formation opened a new way of making music and they were a huge influence on certain groups; music that was art and took you to other worlds...
saw them here in Southern California about a month after this was taped and just watching this video brings back that excitement that I felt during that time...Sisters were everything to me back then and to me, they were every bit as revolutionary as Sex Pistols or Nirvana and since their time have spawned a multitude of bands walking in their huge footprints...Modern day music owes a great debt to Sisters, Bauhaus and Joy Division...

@Futurist1972 the problem is the sisters never where a goth band, neither did andrew associate him or the sisters as goth, watch some interviews and i mean look at his texts, i cant feel gothic at all haha, sorry
@Castanedaria He may say he's not gothic, but it'd be folly to consider him unimportant to the music it inspired and the culture that surrounds him. I'd support the next wave knowing their roots in just about anything... history is important to progress~
Interesting to note that Sisters fans were doing the "lets all have a disco" arm waving thing five years before acid house and then the whole world embraced it
mother of fuck...this is brilliant.
