Hello,
I'm a new member of this community! I'm Nuno and I'm based in Portugal.
I've seen Sisters of Mercy 4 times here, my first time was in 91 and I'm still a big fan of SOM!
Casually, I was watching the video of "You could be mine" (GN'R) and I noticed at 3'23" the drummer Matt Sorum with this T-shirt (below).
Does this refer to the 1st gig held by Sisters?
cheers

It's not exactly the same, is it. Note the difference?

The G'nR drummer wears a shirt with "Sisters" in bold, white.
The other shirt is in bold, white lining, black 'filling'.
If I'm wrong I need glasses or it's the light in the photo or something.

yeah, it's the same shirt, if you watch the video in a normal playing mode you realize it. Although the shirt only appears during...1 sec...

Bem-vindo, Nuno
é bom saber que há mais portugueses interessados nos TSOM.
Quais foram os quatro concertos que viste em Portugal?

Boas!
Vi TSOM pela 1ª vez em 91 (salvo erro em 26.03.1991 ??) no concerto no Coliseu dos Recreios em Lisboa.
Depois vi em 1998 na Ilha do Ermal na primeira edição deste festival, onde também esteve Iggy Pop.
Já no séc XXI, vi um concerto dado no Coliseu do Porto no SBSR em 2001 e em 2006 vi o concerto do Coliseu de Lisboa.
Os dois últimos decepcionaram-me um pouco, não gostei da prestação, especialmente o último.

It wasn't free, cost a tenner as I recall. Still got one, considering wearing it for the XXX gig next year (if I can find it)
Oh and hi
Nuno!

Thank you all.
sorry for the portuguese reply to a portuguese member.
I was told to refer the TSOM shows I've attended.
To summarize my answer to him:
Lisbon, 26.3.1991
Ilha do Ermal, 1998
Porto, 2001
Lisbon, 2006.

Had it been free, I'm sure I would have obtained one actually at the gig, rather than having to get one second hand later.

I got mine for free at the Leeds Uni Refectory gig. Can't remember what the case was for the second night at the Leeds Poly gig though.
You had to present a Reptile House card and gig ticket as you walked in and the shirt was handed out in exchange for the ticket.

On a side note I met Matt S. after a Cult gig and he is much shorter than he looks in this video:)
