Electric Ballroom 24-5-84??????????

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.

Recently recieved the above gig from cell3 and i think it was originally weeded by Solitude.After a request from Big Si asking if it was complete i checked and found it to have one track too many , namely this has the addition of body electric after alice, where as the gig of the above date doesnt

May 24 1984
Electric Ballroom, London, England
Burn / Heartland / Body and Soul / Anaconda / Walk Away / Emma / Floorshow / Adrenochrome / Alice / Sister Ray

So did

a....The gig listings for this date are wrong
b....its a different gig and if so which?

Some clues, inbetween alice and sister ray the mc of the gig announces"All right me old fruits lets get ourselves together and lets have another one from the sisters of mercy"I would guess this makes it a UK gig,and the only matching setlist from this year is at Bristol trinity Hall , 6 days earlier


May 19 1984
Trinity Hall, Bristol, England
Burn / Heartland / Body and Soul / Anaconda / Walk Away / Emma / Floorshow / Adrenochrome / Alice / Body Electric / Sister Ray

Other clues.....gimme Shelter is not played , pretty rare for this period,assuming the gig is complete.....

Before first track Von says "at least im not as hot as you are fella"

Before body and soul says "besides im the one with a large piece of metal"

before Floorshow says "This is called Adrenochrome"

So any ideas.............

Hmm, if it is wrong then I apologise! The track listing is shorter on Hals page, buts the same track listing is on the Sisters Trading page:

http://www.sisterstrading.com/Audio/198 ... 05-24.html

I'm sure someone will be able to verify it!

:eek:

no , Electric Ballroom

I've listened to my tape and i'm sure i can hear a needle hitting a record, just before Emma. Can't find this listed as a boot LP anywhere, but SR is, so maybe it's spliced from two records :roll:

mostly you see the gig listed as Christer's site but i have seen one or two with GS also included :von:

My Electric Ballroom 24.5.84 has Body Electric. Don't pay too much attention to tracklists you find on sites, as many of them have songs missing. I think its cos many of the cassettes don't have all the song titles written down, and people just copy the tracklist onto the site.

for some reason GS is often the fall guy. See for example Dienze 1984 :von:
