To the Planet Edge 1999

1998 March: britpoppers Oasis end their American tour in Palacio de los Deportes.
1999 October: britrockers The Sisters of Mercy end their American tour in Palacio
de los Deportes. Must be pure coincidence, as was the earthquake a couple of weeks before
the first Sisters Mexican show ever.
The setlist was the standard one, with two interesting exceptions: included before the two standard encores was one-song encore of Comfortably Numb/Some Kind of Stranger, and the show was finished with the second Sister Ray monster this tour. Oh, those lucky Mexicans. |

After a long, long wait (since 1991 the first rumor) finally TSOM played in
Mexico City, the venue was the East Pavilion at the sport palace, a big area
(like a warehouse).
I arrived at 7:30 one hour before the programming
schedule, a lot of "darky" people was arriving, I expect an opening act (the
Tube) but when I saw the staff preparing the stage with the setlist, towels,
spring water bottles in the middle, and "corona" beers at the right side of
the stage, I forgot about the opening act.
At 8:45 the lights were off and the
intro music started as the smoke and the lights did. I saw a tiny figure
coming from the center of the stage with a silver shirt and black pants, when
the first notes of Ribbons started all the crowd become wild, jumping, singing
and moving from one side to the other, originally I was at the 10th row but
as the music advanced I moved to the third row in the front! I could not
believe to seeing Andrew so close, during the first three songs the sound was
so loud, when Amphetamine started the sound got better.
When they played
Temple, one of my shoes was off I needed too get it back, because in the
front the crowd didn't stop jumping, body surfing and moving wildly. During
Dominion I felt an earthquake down my feet, for all the people jumping and
jumping! Till Romeo the environment became little bit quite, Flood II was
great (in my personal opinion the best of the night), after the first encore
an excellent Comfortably Numb with Strange Kind of Stranger made me feel out
of this world, on Vision Thing I was so exited an did body surfing, but when I
arrived to the stage, Andrew moved to the left side! I saw the rest of the
concert at the right side just in front of the speakers wall - so loud.
Andrew was in very good mood, smiling and sending kisses, the rhythm base by
the Doktor was completely amazing! Adam and Mike are maybe the best lineup,
since First and Last and Always.
I don't know what was the name of the last song after the third
encore (this one was not included in the original set list) but was mixed with
a little fragment of Lucretia.
At 10:20 they left the stage, lights up and
lovely madly from the doors starting to sound, there was a lot of shoes,
watches, and plastic glasses at the floor, all looked so dirty. I could get
one original setlist from one technician in the master console.
Definitely was an orgasmic night!!!
