James Ray live in '89?

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.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for some time. Enjoy browsing through this forum a lot. This must be my first post though.
I saw James Ray live in 1989 (I think it was in late August) at the Camden Palace in London - or was it in 1988?
I think it was advertised as James Ray & the Performance, but I seem to remember that the tickets were sold at the entrance as a James Rays Gangwar show.
Was anybody there and has got clearer memories than mine?
I remember finding the show quite intense but short. I only knew Mexico Sundown Blues at the mine and didn't recognise a single song at the gig.

Hello and welcome. Can't help with your question but there are several JR fans around who might.

Thanks for the info, iesus!
So I was right, it was actually James Rays Gangwar.
Now I've got to try and track down the recording!

No sign of Mexico on it though, Texas is though.

Might be a few days but I'll get it sorted. In the meantime the 1993 bootleg is available on this forum somewhere.

I uploaded a couple of bootlegs of JRGangwar here:

I think they are still avaiable. There's also a good bootleg of Frankfurt 1992 here:
