The Sisters of Mercy Forum
) is now called Koko and is reported to have one of the Best PA systems in the UK it also has been called the 'Music Machine' and if you remember the TV serise called 'The Paradise Club' staring leslie Grantham (Dirty Den) It was all filmed in there.Now you poeple - with the best intentions - managed to confuse me totally:Camden Palace and The Camden Electric Ballroom are two completely different venues. Camden Palace is near Mornington Crescent tube and was(is?) owned by Steve Strange (vocalist with Visage) the Electric Ballrom is right next to Camden Town tube. During the early 80's both venues were very seedy and smoky and both were great venues.
Basically it's 2 different gigs, but both on the same date. If anyone still has any advertising/posters/ticket stubs for the gigs they'd both say 11th, but the second one started so late (after midnight) that technically it's the 12th, and it causes less confusion if we call it the 12th. (It's supposed to cause less confusion but it looks like it hasn't!)Eva wrote:Now you poeple - with the best intentions - managed to confuse me totally:
There's 2 different gigs so obviously the comments are different. Forget the comments - the tracklists are different. Just look at the tracklist and you'll know what gig it is.Eva wrote:are there different Von-comments on the different gigs or are the comments the same?

The first performance of the evening was at the Electric Ballroom, where The
Sisters, who were supporting The Virgin Prunes, commenced their set at about 9pm.
The second show, at The Camden Palace, did indeed take place after midnight and
was thus the 12th August.
