Amsterdam 1983 video

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'm assuming that this must have been discussed here before.....but a quick forum search didn't bring anything up.

I was flicking through YouTube earlier today & came accross what claims to be a version of Emma, from the soundcheck at Amsterdam Paradiso in August 1983. Not a filmed gig that I've ever seen on anyones bootleg list (and the uploader claims that this is the only footage from the date). So for anyone else like me who hasn't seen this before 8)

not sure why? some insider joke you'd care to share :?

the french guy has it listed as M1 and Luca M3 & ?? the lists are from 2005 when i was still bothered - it's not fair to share them so i won't :(

personally i think the fact i have the paris riots set as the ring tone on my phone but no bugger ever calls is :lol: :lol:

whats this in comparison with those two or three pro-shot videos from 85 tour...i mean, i would probably be willing to give one kidney for the newcastle 1985 video. but i will never have a chance to do so, cause no one is ever gonna trade that. hehe
