Leeds gigs June/July 1981

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Two TSOM Leeds gigs from a crucial time in their career are covered in the latest pair of posts on my blog. Both have been discussed extensively on here over the years so there may be not much new in them for some, but others might find them an interesting trip down memory lane.
The first is the University gig with the Violets and Pink Peg Slax on June 13th 1981 :

The second is the Fan Club gig at the Warehouse at the beginning of the following month, the night Iggy was also in town and came down to the Sisters show. http://sistersfan.blogspot.co.uk/2017/0 ... -1981.html

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
