nice, thank you

one more i found

According to the official gigography they played Leeds twice in 84, both times at The University.

Thanks for sharing QB. Probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing them live (photo & video)

you hadn't lost something worth your time and money.

great pix!
I always find it strange to see the early live pix, particularly the first few... they're strangely naked? Like the myth or mystic hasn't quite got there yet, which you don't get from the press pix or the records. Needless to say, I appreciate that might sound like pure toss to any who was actually there at the time -

Nice one.

The other pics are almost definitely 84 aren't they? Just going by the smoke, the hat and Mark's shirt.

No smoke.

One of Markfiend's stripey ones? Aye!

I reckon the ones from '84 might be the Riley Smith hall at Leeds Uni.

If i m not mistaken he started wearing the hat at the "tune in , turn on..." 1985 tour.
So if it s Leeds it must be 16/03/1985.

Looks very much like the tiny room at the top of the Student Union building.

I'd concur with that - the circular screens at edge of the stage were from that tour, Leeds Uni being my very first Sisters gig!

Flagg

the support band were Salvation and done this

Didn't he start wearing the hat in '84? I've got a copy of Smash Hits (!) from around June 1984 with a Sisters interview. Andrew's wearing a hat in the picture and even talks about buying it in (I think) Las Vegas in the interview.

Salvation weren't the support band that was the Scientists, Salvation happened to play in the same building on the same day.

dont knew this

Fantastic pics.....I love it when old photos appear after all these years.

My brother took a couple when Craig & Wayne joined the Cult onstage at Leeds Uni in May 1985. They were technically still 'Sisters' at that time, so I will try & post them up here one day......(might help if we'd spoken to each other inside the last 3 years! )

Quite ironic, given the subject.

Make it up. Life is too short.
