Reading Festival 91

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 are bootleg audio recordings- not seen any video footage, sorry.

Great gig :notworthy:

I had a hand on the gun

Thanks for the quick reply. I have the audio but it is minus the last two songs 1969 and whole world in his hands.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

"He's got the whole world in his hands" was on youtube a while ago. So there must be video footage.
I have it as flash video on my pooter, if I can't find it on the Tube (currently seeking) to link you to it I'll upload it somehow. You'll require a player that can handle .flv files, though.

I had a VHS of the whole thing from a record fair, crappy visuals, but fine audio, and kinda captures the whole feel. - my mate Bob in Sheffield borrowed it about ten years ago. Baaah.

Got it from an old school boolteg VHS compiler on the goff scene called "Count 0rlock" ahem. I imagine he's a lawyer by now or summat, so frig knows where you'dd find one, but yes the whole show was filmed, quite badly, it's out there... Somwhere...

Linky-dink-dink!
For Windows users and Mac VLC LAN player should be the weapon of choice, my MPlayer handles .flv nicely as well. And yes, it's in lousy quality, but you see some.

Edit: "Kill yourself, bollox!"? Who was that? :lol:

The bootleg video is bad quality, however ''the Neon Dream'' CD bootleg is really good quality and features the best live version of ''Ribbons'' ever !

I've got a VHS which is taken from the crowd. The sound is good but the visuals are a bit iffy. As stated above, it brings the atmosphere across really well though. It was absolutely mental!

Got the same one too. Has a 90 minute MTV special at the end of it which is alright.

Isn't the dvd up as a weed?

There's also the very bizzare 7" picture disc box set bootleg, which is nice...
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
