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.
great pix!
I always find it strange to see the early live pix, particularly the first few... they're strangely naked? Like the myth or mystic hasn't quite got there yet, which you don't get from the press pix or the records. Needless to say, I appreciate that might sound like pure toss to any who was actually there at the time -

So if it s Leeds it must be 16/03/1985.
I'd concur with that - the circular screens at edge of the stage were from that tour, Leeds Uni being my very first Sisters gig!

Didn't he start wearing the hat in '84? I've got a copy of Smash Hits (!) from around June 1984 with a Sisters interview. Andrew's wearing a hat in the picture and even talks about buying it in (I think) Las Vegas in the interview.
Fantastic pics.....I love it when old photos appear after all these years.
My brother took a couple when Craig & Wayne joined the Cult onstage at Leeds Uni in May 1985. They were technically still 'Sisters' at that time, so I will try & post them up here one day......(might help if we'd spoken to each other inside the last 3 years! )
