The Sisters of Mercy - 2002 - Summer 2002 Europe

In the interview to German magazine "Sonic Seducer" Andrew promised new songs, but none were heard in Bex. The outing did feature return of Lucretia, My Reflection after 10 years of absence, rework of Snub Nose (the name of the guitarists show-off is now seems to be settled on Top Nite Out) and - out of nowhere - oldie goldie Never Land.

The return might be explained by its success as part of Sister Ray medleys from 1997/99). I do hope that Never Land's introduction has nothing to do with its last line's similarity with the apparent current Sisters state.

Another summer, another festival tour AND  yet another t-shirt. Here's its description by Jürg Hochuli (tune_in_turn_on_burn_out@hotmail.com):

Front: Left half of a ring/circle in orange with yellow lettering "summer 2002 europe" and an inner half toothed ring in white, like the new logo/shut the fuck up shirt logo. The half ring is closed by some white lines.
Back: circle that reads The Sisters of Mercy Summer 2002 Europe. In the middle of the ring a quarter divides in 5 horizontal lines that read: sisters (white on black)/bex/st vith/hildesheim/and a star

All of the above yellow on orange.

The t-shirt is crap. Even more crap than the last one. Looks like the Reptile House did not provide enough money to the printing company and in order to that, the printing machine stopped after it finished 1/4 of the front ;)) The 2001 shirt had a complete front print at least.
