If any of you fine folks here actually attended, & if so what it was like?

On the same subject, was R.A.H. gig a sell out?

I was there. Thought it was crap at the time, thin sound without Mr Marx, but watching on video it seems really good. Must have been having a bad day.

No, it wasn't sold out.

It also shows the difference between the actual event, a bootleg and an official live recording. Just compare the WYDSM b-sides and the Hamburg 90 boot (I don't have a boot version of RAH 85 so I can't say).

It was a poor gig, I only went to one other SISTERS gig in 1985 at the Lyceum and that was bloody brilliant, I wish I had gone to the Brighton gig as I was offered a lift and a ticket on the day, oh well. I remember looking at my ticket and various other fliers I had for the gig as i was leaving the RAH and they resembled used tissues! which wasn't as annoying as finding my fags looked similar but brown!

Wasn't there but I've never heard anyone say anything nice about that gig

Did the Sisters ever sounded good at all onstage?

Next...!

Bloody brilliant in 1984 going by bootlegs and reports from folks who were there.

By 1985 the band was dead, everybody knew it, and the hearts just didn't seem to be in it anymore.

I was at that, and it was. Supported by the Blow Monkeys iirc.

I went to the Lyceum, I think The Scientists supported as well. Didn't go to RAH becasue I was revising for my 'A' Levels. Might as well have gone to RAH.

I could have written that Hello clearing....

Yep. They were, in the opinion of someone who has only seen bootlegs, good live until Marx left.

Ditto.
