Mon, 20-May-1983: Sheffield - England - Dingwalls

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.

As there seems to be a recording from this gig, is anybody able/willing to
confirm the complete set list beyond Kiss The Carpet, Heartland and Sister Ray ? ... :) ...

I don't think a full audio exists for this one.

Hhm, but it looks like more than only three tracks are known, doesn't it?

Anyway, thanks for your reply ... :) ...

Can't help with the set list here, but I'm 95% certain this gig was a Friday, not a Monday. I'll come back on and apologise if I'm wrong.

A night spent in Sheffield bus station is not something I'd recommend to any gig-goer, however battle hardened
Thanks to Pontiac Detroit and the citizens of Wakefield

Absolutely. I remember being asleep in the photobooth there and getting kicked awake in the middle of the night by those fine upstanding gentlemen of the 1980s South Yorkshire police force and thrown out into the winter night. If you imagine the exact opposite of that scene in Amelie! :eek: :wink:

btw, the worst place to get stranded after a gig I've found so far was Gatwick Airport... :urff: ... just terrible. But maybe things have changed to the better there since 2011.
