Hey there, newbie here!

I recently found this bootleg online, and it is quite interesting, but I am wondering: what show(s) is this from? "Louie Louie" is a trip on this one.

Hey there! Welcome!
Should be 1985, think Leeds University but I'm not enterely sure (please, all of yous that have greater knowledge than me , do not shoot me if I'm not correct! )
Anyway, yes, the version of Louie Louie is fantastic!

It seems a s**t of the bootlegs my friend gave me were from '85... all of them pretty good.

Welcome to the zoo, Andrei!

Yup yup, I'm a young'un, but 21 years old, but have been a massive Sisters fan since discovering them online back when I was 14. Saw them in 2006 and was one of the most amazing nights of my life, especially considering I got to kick it with Ben and Chris afterward. Good to finally see a comprehensive Sisters forum, especially since it seems most of the really good older Sisters websites seem to be dying one-by-one ;_;

Also: there is one song on "Burn Out" that is called "Ghostrider" that I've never heard before. Anyone know the origins of this song?

That'd be Ghostrider by the mighty Suicide (I recommend checking out their second LP for some classy synth-sleaze).

Welkom!

You know, this is quite shameful but I don't know much about Suicide except in passing. Wikipedia says they're pretty influential?

The name of the boot is actually Tune In ... Turn Off ... Burn Out ...

But welcome anyways

Yes, they were!

Pretty much any synth/vocal duo owes them a debt. Other notable influencees include Soft Cell, Henry Rollins, Spacemen 3, Loop, The Cars, Fatima Mansions, pretty much the entire NY punk scene, and - of course - the Sisters.

First LP is the best known, with Rocket USA, Ghostrider, Che, Frankie Teardrop and all the rest on it. Second LP is miles better, though.

Sounds like my kind of band!

Also, I found out that Tune In, Turn Off... Burn Out is indeed a Leeds show, 16 March 1985 @ Leeds University.

I also found out there are 2 other copies of this show, one of which is, in fact, named Ghostriderz!

It seems like "Tune In" is incomplete though...

Nope, same setlist ...

Only 8 tracks on it though, the entire midsection from Marian to Floorshow (presumably) is missing.

... and both incomplete

The only one.

And welcome - Stick around. The barman will be taking orders soon...

Hey Andrei. Suicide are a great band. First album has some stonking, yet simplistic, synthwork. Go get.

Second is the one.

Or I could get BOTH...

Well of course.

If you get the first one, get the reissued double-album. The live version of "Harlem" is incredible, I downloaded the studio version and was a bit disappointed.

And you can get the reissue on 2LP or 2CD. I have both.

aren't you confusing Suicide with The Human League?!

Right you, out back.

Welcome Andrei

doubt it, t'Human League had two keyboard players, a singist and a projectionist - a different beast altogether
