Best Sounding Floodland Era Live 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.

I've got some cracking vinyl bootlegs from the early years and up to 1985, but don't have any from the Floodland era. Any worth checking out? Or perhaps a later boot that contains a lot of Floodland era material?

There aren't any. No live band for Floodland.

I wondered about that. So perhaps a later boot that contains a lot of Floodland era material?

from memory 1990 had the most floodland era stuff, by 1991 were starting to look back a bit more, so Satanic Verses, Live at the Docks, are both good

perhaps 2002 has the 'most' floodland tracks

of course, most is VT stuff despite this

reading festival/wembley 24/1190 & 26/11/90 /amphetamine bootleg are all good examples of the earliest era after floodland and have full length this corrosion, dominion/mother russia, flood II and most importantly i suppose complete lucretia with bassline etc. got bored looking for when flood 1 crept into the set, but it isnt included here, never land is much later and 1959 is this year.
