I've only seen SoM once (2006 I think) which makes me something less of an expert. Eldritch was the only 'proper' member of the band by then of course. I think I'm a little younger than you guys - that's my excuse! Except maybe on Damage Done, the Sisters was always a one man show. That's why most people left! In fairness, being somewhat younger than Kermie, I didn't see the Sisters until 1988 but I have seen them about 12 times. I did have some bootlegs of their very early gigs, hopefully its the quality of the bootlegs that make them sound terrible live. The live attempt at Gimme Gimme Gimme must be a highlight? We need a Sisters of Mercy thread in Gold Talk. My answer to all the music related questions on here tends to be 'Sisters of Mercy'.
They do a stonking version of Jolene, Comfortably Numb (that runs into Some kind of Stranger). But for me, the finest cover has to be Kylie Minogues 'Confide in Me' which blew the roof off Brixton Academy. Simply astonishing. Its up there with the Emma cover (if you can get a decent quality copy of it). They always did a good cover (1969, Emma, Gimme Shelter etc).

As my wife pointed out to me, I left 'The Cure' off the list, who quite possibly are the most under-rated British band in history.
