Sorry if this has been discussed already but from which gig is that picture?

Must a Black October gig or not?

No hat and the smoke dates it to perhaps early/mid 84?

Not many clues to go on, but is that the ex-Gun Club cloak draped over :von: 's shoulder (arguably the most valuable thing he purloined from that ensemble) ? He used to wear it at the start of gigs then take it off part way through IIRC. Is he retrieving it at the end of a gig ? And judging from the spacing of the monitors, a reasonably big stage from the May 84 tour might be likely.

Do we have any pics of him wearing this cloak? Or are you referring to the velvet frock coat ala "Wake"?

I think this is the cloak in question:

Should be fixed now - I've uploaded the pic to my own server rather than hotlinking to it.

Yep, same photo I think. 8)

Edit to add: The Peel Sessions cover looks like it's from the same session. I'm pretty sure they were taken in St George's Fields

Isn't this session also used for the "through the years" box set ?

:lol: ... and hanging around at the back looking rather embarrassed (that phase didn't last long !) - he clearly hadn't researched the Sisters' dress code.
Looks a bit parky an' all that day.

I blame the bad influence of backcombing and Maisey.

...and what is that huge building on the left?

Posted: 21 Nov 2011, 11:07

As I said, it's St George's Field in Leeds, and the big building at the left is the Henry Price building (student flats).

...where Maisey and Shelley (former Legion synth-player) both lived and nearly died, many times.

Thanks, it looks like a soviet union style building, never fancy them, didn't know they build one in Leeds too.

I heard (although it's probably an urban legend) that the design of the Henry Price building was based on that of a Swedish prison...

Large chunks of Leeds went for the Brutalist style which actually appears to be slightly worse than Stalinist.
