Best bootleg?

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.

Hi

In my Collection i have some bootlegs, sadly i must say that on the majority of them is the sound really bad. Is there any bootlegs out there with good sound?

If you're looking for the classic 80s line-up, the Nottingham concert recording commonly circulated as "Colours in Carnage" is a good one to start with.

There are some nice 1983 recordings too, with Hamburg Kir being a personal favourite that includes rare outings of the original Temple of Love and Lights.

Typical sound on the best 1983 recordings is rough but serviceable; it's not going to sound as good as an 84/85 soundboard, and you shouldn't expect it to, but at least everything can be upfront and solid.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I like "Live In The Temple of Love", shame FALAA and Lucretia are missing from it.

Eggi's Helsinki 2011 is good.

i really enjoy the Shows in 1985 when gary had left (despite the fact gary is a great guy). and yes there had been fantastic Shows such as newcastle. but wayne played it more clear and faster so it got a more heavy style.

Trans-Europe-Excess is a good example for that last period. Crystal clear Sound. must be kolingsborg or gothenburg, right?

cheers, Oliver

this is a brilliant fan site and very comprehensive to the period 2011

:notworthy: *

as you can see it's rating bootlegs too, so Notts 84 above is a 9 and Newcastle 85 a 10

hope this helps

Personal favourite? Live: probably sister ray or disguised in black.
not live: Entertainment or death. Seriously a great one. Burn is my favourite. Earbleedingly good :lol: :notworthy:
