Unfortunately, the promoters pulled the entire tour -- probably due to poor ticket sales -- but I remember Eldritch saying something about how promoters were afraid to take risks on line-ups that would cross-pollinate audiences from very different musical territories, etc..
and then a year or so later, along came the first Lollapalooza.
(Not saying a Sisters/Public Enemy tour would be the first atypical tour, but I thought it was a cool gesture on both bands' parts to try it.)

...with Gang of Four as openers.I saw it roll through Radio City Music Hall. Andy came out for the encore wearing a PE baseball jersey, which was dead cool, i thought.

I just can't summon up a desire to listen to them now, although that Sisterhood record was extraordinary and I wouldn't mind hearing that again at all.

The Reptile House record was my favourite, if I recall correctly, although Temple of Love 12" really blew my mind when I first heard it.

Does anyone remember James Ray & The Performance?

For me, when the Sisters ceased being a "band" per se and just became Andrew and whomever else he happened to have recently befriended, I sort've lost interest a bit. Once Wayne and Craig left, they took much of the mystique with them (only to squander it in a very silly fashion in the Mission who, I must confess, I was a rather large fan of for a while).

Most of what James Ray did was sub-Sisters piss but Texas is a fine single and is pretty much everything you should ever own by him (says the guy with Gangwar albums stagnating around here somewhere).
I went to see them a Bath Moles around 1991/2 just to convince myself James Ray wasn't just a guise under which Eldritch could release any crap he wanted. 16 people turned up, it was shite.

I stand by what I said upthread though, it was all downhill after Adrenochrome.

Actually, that's when I start loving them.
I the fake-rock Steinman stuff and only like the I'm-too-gloomy-for-my-leathers gothy stuff.

I didn't see the video until way after the fact.....and it's embarassing (though not as embarassing as the Mission's clip for "Stay with Me", which -- I believe -- was intended to be silly and over the top). Not sure if "This Corrosion" is supposed to be taken seriousy or not as a video, but it was dire.

Although the Reading Festival appearance with Tony James that someone else alluded to above, when they came back out and did a camped up version of 'He's Got The Whole World In His Hands' was one the worst five minutes I've ever stood through at a live gig.
