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.
Wonder if Von realised at the time that his merry band would still be going strong twenty years later?
And does anyone know anything about the gig ?
How long did the Sisters play for? how big was the crowd? Did they go down well with a bunch of Thompson Twins fans? what was the setlist? does a bootleg exist? What about a flyer/poster/photos?
Phew! surely some 'expert' can satiate my thirst for knowledge.

There's one song (Good Things) from the first gig on the "Kenny Giles Demos" cd, which has probably been weeded. The recording came from Eldritch's own collection so I imagine he has the full show.
The set probably only consisted of 5 or 6 songs, probably something similar to the setlist for the May'81 recordings.

More to the point, does that mean that in two years time we can look forward to a still-new-albumless Sisters hobbling onto a Leeds stage to crank out the old favourites again for the silver anniversary?
