Berlin August 1983

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.

...is the subject of my latest blogpost.

For more info about the shirt Von wore that night and for details of the "mini punk" who makes an appearance in the famous live footage from the gig, head over to the 8085 FB group, a great haven for TSOM nostalgia freaks!

That video is one of my favourites, so great to get more background on it - thank you! :D

I wonder if we will ever get to see the whole thing one day...

Hey man, thanks again! Like always a fascinating read....
These 1983 European Performances are among the greatest ever. Just classic. They reached a pinnacle there....

Note aside: So they did play Emma there? Meaning the echoes sampler from this date is incomplete?....

Thanks anyway
