SISTERS - MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL 1988

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.

How many songs did the sisters perform in Montreux 1988? I know about Lucretia but there's a couple of pictures from exactly the same stage where Eldritch has worn different glasses and also Patsy's in other clothes unlike the black dress she appears on in Lucretia's performance. See if you can help me, thanx in advance

June 3 1988, Montreux Festival, BBC1 (UK), broadcast version
"Lucretia My Reflection" played live. (2.30)

June 3 1988, Montreux Festival, BBC1 (UK)
Longer recording than the one broadcast on TV. Includes "Lucretia My Reflection", "This Corrosion", as well as backstage footage. (14.20)

How come the performance of this corrosion can't be found anywhere?

Where does that info come from?

I remember not long after their appearance I was told they'd also done This Corrosion. Nobody ever admitted to having a copy though. I once saw a bootleg video that looked like it might contain both songs but the labelling was a complete mess and I wasn't willing to pay £15 for the slim odds of possibly getting one song when it would probably turn out to be the This Corrosion promo video instead.

Odds on bet it's languishing somewhere in the Beeb's archives and will never see the light of day. :(

Now there's an idea for a superb DVD release - Wake + all TV appearances + all promos. One can but dream.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.
