Yup, I think it's one from the last US tour? Either way they also brought it along on the XXX tour, either Koen or Andrew has a copy of it...Suleiman wrote:The clock poster was an ad for a gig. Couldn't tell you what year though.

In completely unrelated news, some Sisters memorabilia is on show at 'Where Were You?: Leeds Music History Exhibition' at Leeds Museum this month. It starts on Thursday 11th August and finishes on Saturday 27th August.
And the official blurb:
Where Were You? Leeds Music History Exhibition
Leeds Town Hall Crypt (downstairs, under the Hall, enter via the side entrance)
Preview: Thursday 11th August 2011 5pm to 7pm with performance from Gary Stewart
Exhibition opening times: Friday 12th August 2011 to Saturday 27th August 2011. 9am to 5pm every day except Sundays.
Fundraiser gig Friday 19th August at the Brudenell Social Club, all Leeds bands including covers of Leeds songs. Featuring members of Pale Saints, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Three Johns and other familiar faces from the Leeds scene.
This exhibition celebrates the music culture of Leeds through a unique collection of memorabilia, records, programmes, posters, t-shirts, instruments, awards and artworks that tell some of the stories of the Leeds music scene over the last sixty years. It's been put together in true DIY spirit that fans of the Leeds scene will recognise, and aims to make some noise about the great music that is made and played in Leeds. We have been overwhelmed at the generosity of fans, promoters and musicians that have sent their memorabilia from the far flung corners of the globe - there are some real treasures here. Come and have a look and share your memories of great Leeds bands, gigs and venues. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this collection of stuff - don't miss it!

Aaaah, it was the amp then!the-happening wrote:Amp used on Damage Done:
Andrew had a very cheap guitar and a three-watt practice amp - the kind of equipment you might find in a packet of cornflakes ..... The guitar parts were played upon the guitar, but that three-watt practice amp sounded ... like a three-watt practice amp.
at the moment, btw) ...
