Brussels gig in 1983

Mallemont Festival Brussels.

The official site says 24th August 1983.

The bootleg and Black Planet website both have the dates down as 5th August 1983.

Which is right?

and also on the same sort of thread (I'm going through my bootlegs, checking dates etc.)

My copy of Barcelona 09-09-00 is missing Anaconda and On The Wire / Teachers / On The Wire. Does anyone have those tracks and would be kind enough to post them?

After much research I've decided the 5th is right, though many traders list both dates in their collection :roll:

also there are at least three versions of this gig knocking around, so make sure its the one with Jolene trapped in the middle for completeness.

I'm sure i read somewhere that the last song played was body electric and the Ghostrider/Sister Ray medoly does sound very polished @ '84ish IMHO

I have 11 tracks with Jolene track 7 and Body Electric track 11.

Oh also, is there a full version of the Forum 98 gig floating about. I have got a copy at home of Event Horizon (can't remember the track listing) and I have Vision from the forum. Both are missing tracks.

And one last thing. Is there a bootleg of the Sept 2000 Nottingham gig? I went to it and wanna track it down.

And whilst I can also promote the premier Australian Sisters site: http://www.geocities.com/tsom_trading/trades.html

I am as yet unable to promote the Isle Of Man's premier sisters site.

Wasn't Eldritch arrested at one of the earlier Brussel's gig? Might be the reason for the confusion (I presume the gig was cancelled).

see Jame's earlier post for photos of the arrest :)

There was also a story about the photos posted on either HL or Dominion recently. I should have it somewhere at home if it wasn't posted here.

In the afternoon the Sisters of Mercy had played an open air festival in
downtown Brussels.
We were taking the pictures in a nearby street while some rioting started at
the festival. So the
cops closed down all the streets leading to the square and started areesting
everybody looking
slighthly menacing.... and that included the Sisters of Mercy members. My
wife and I, not being dressed
totally in black managed not to be arrested.....

Nottingham 2000 was a rough affair. Thought from time to time that eldritch was on his way out in the mosh pit armed with his mike stand to beat some g***s up. The bastard who got eldritch irritated during something fast was right behind me, so i was afraid to get some too of the mike stand, lol.

Yeah, he did seem to get pissed off towards the end of the gig. The gig certainly wasn't as good as some previous shows I've seen.
