Where Spirits Fly

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.

This is really a gem but never heard a proper version.I can't remember this one to be ever issued on a bootleg or something but might be wrong.
Good one anyway :)

I would love to have heard a finished version of Where Spirits Fly by the 84/85 version of the Sisters. I think only two versions exist from soundchecks (Guilford & Hamburg?) both in 84 & according to Gary it was never anything like a completed song, just a jam in soundchecks.

I know that Ghost Dance eventually recorded a good version but the Sisters could have recorded a great version IMO.
Give me one good reason

I recall Gary saying somewhere (might have been the Ghost Dance forum) that there were no lyrics to Spirits, and that they hadn't thought of it as a song in that sense, until he decided to record it with GD.
