Royal Albert Hall, 1985 - were you there?

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.

Curious to know how AE managed to have cracked ribs at the RAH? Any clues?
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!

I'd always assumed it had happened prior to RAH? Perhaps someone objected to his 'verbal violence' and gave him a good kicking ..?
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

...And the broken nose. Got a kicking off a groupie's boyfriend (reading between the lines anyway).

Or maybe that was the cover story and it was really Gary, Wayne and Craig that roughed him up? :lol:

Gary had already gone by then hadn't he? :doh:

Maybe the kicking was Gary's leaving present for :von: ? ;D

He had a busted nose, too? A friend who was at the gig said all Andy did was stand at his microphone, taking three steps forward and three steps back all through the gig. I've seen the Wake video and he seemed to move a little more than that. Not much, though.

For years, Wake was the only Sisters footage I'd ever seen. So I always assumed Andy was immobile throughout every show. Perhaps not. Or not anymore. Too old for groupies and their jealous boyfriends, I guess. Fewer occupational hazards. Music is a hard game, me thinks.

He was immobile on the "tune in turn on burn out" tour. I always assumed he didn't move because he needed the mike stand to remain upright.
