Hand filmed version of Ghost Rider/Louie Louie from Wake

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.

I have the thing on VHS, but alas no way to transfer it.
Bought it at a record fair in Brighton back in 85/86 time.
Willing to post it to anyone who would like to make a transfer to DVD, as long as I can have a copy :wink: .
Maybe properly authored with a better quality soundtrack???
Cheers.

Yeah-I thought the story was the band took so long to return for the encore that the camera crew had already packed up and gone. :?

Just watching the VHS now.
Same source, but Train's pretty munched.
The rest seems intact

such things as this are part of my religion, as soon as they appear - I'm on it! ;D

From the official site (http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/gen/fa ... aqnorm.htm):
"Why isn't the last encore included on 'Wake', the film of the Royal Albert Hall concert in 1985?
By the time we hit the stage for the last encore, some of the necessary machines had been switched off. Various film technicians had decided that we'd finished. Andrew had been performing with a couple of cracked ribs, and he had indeed decided to finish, but Lemmy was in the dressing room to convince him that another encore was in order. After a short discussion and a multilateral assessment of all the available pharmaceuticals, the band hit the stage again - but too speedily for the aforementioned technicians. There was some audio-visual material from the last encore, but Polygram "lost it" shortly after the film was edited and released."

Presumably enough of the cameras were packed away by the time encore happened for what was filmed to be deemend not worth including, though from memory the omissions* mean that the video runs for just under an hour (could that make it more sellable to TV companies?). Again, from memory Gimme Shelter was cut from the release due to copyright restrictions, but as it was played earlier in the set it must have been filmed with all cameras rolling.

Should that read "om*****ns"? :innocent:

genetrujillo's vids are probably the best quality version of the missing songs i've seen (audio at least) :notworthy:

i think i will pop a thread in the sisters faqs section with links to all 3 vids 8)
