Long Beach 85, longer recording ?

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.

Floorshow bootleg from TSP has 7 tracks only in disorder and I never managed to find more, only heard of the video made by a fan.

Is the more complete soundboard recording of this Long Beach around ?


Looks like this is the full set :

• First And Last And Always
• Body And Soul
• Marian
• No Time To Cry
• Walk Away
• Emma
• Amphetamine Logic
• A Rock And A Hard Place
• Floorshow
• Alice
• Gimme Shelter

I think that the only complete recording circulating is an audience one:

The video exists, you can find it in compilations on the weeding section, not sure if it's complete.

The soundboard recording failed part way thru the gig - hence there are only the 7 complete tracks.

The 7 tracks were re ordered to fit on the 2 x 7 inch ep's of the Silence Is Platinum box set. (Too short for an LP and to much content for a single 7 inch).

The master tape for that production was the same one used by TSP for Floorshow, lack of focus meant they never bothered re instating the correct running order.

There has to be a little more to it than that, because otherwise there would be gaps in the running order. At the very least, assuming that the sbd recording ran continuously, Walk Away, Emma and Amphetamine Logic should also exist.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Eldo's mic failed during No Time To Cry and in the video you can see that there was a delay while roadies came on stage to fix things. It's my guess that someone stopped the tape at this point then forgot to start it again when the gig resumed. (Also there's the incomplete F+L+A as mentioned earlier, starts in the middle of the song, so we already know the person was a little sloppy at tape recording!) I'd expect the original source tape to have a little more after Walk Away before the tape was stopped, and maybe a little bit more before A Rock & A Hard Place depending on when they thought "WOOPS!" and started the tape.
