Train Live- What gig?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

there's REALLY that much to mark it out from any other 85 gig, but the sound quality is good, the gig performance is good - and its one of my faves from that period :)

and its got a similar feel to the wake gig, but its got gary marx on guitars too ;)

Nah you can't. I have it on CD meself and it's definitely only one. The FALAA and Gimme Shelter intros are always a giveaway. A very good recording, aside from a glitch in FALAA. Like a lot of the 85 stuff I've heard, the sound is unbalanced with drums way up front and guitars well back, but that's so common that it's not really the fault of the bootleg.
