The Sisters On This Day

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.

Preserved forever as the probably the finest (audio) record of the classic line-up live. Pisses all over The RAH gig and al the fabulous soundboards of the european leg of the tour (stockolm, milan etc) because Marx is on it as well. i f**king LOVE the way the tempo of the Doktor gets turned up at the start of FALAA -amphetamines were clearly working well that night. :von:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

Pity as I tried listening to the copy I had of the show. If this is the only source, it was unlistenable. I scrapped it before getting to those two.

March 18th has three known shows:

1985, Hull https://sisterswiki.org/Mon,_18-Mar-1985

2006, Anaheim https://sisterswiki.org/Sat,_18-Mar-2006

2016, Tilburg https://sisterswiki.org/Fri,_18-Mar-2016

Only known source, security was insane - no idea why but there were police on the door too..
I was taking pictures but ran out of film before :von: came out for the encores in a textbook fashion atrocity which hasn't appeared since. :lol:

Seems that the Hastings gig is now a bit closer to being confirmed as a definite:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1704379 ... 312365503/. For those of you that aren't members of the group:

******* Gig confirmed ! but the exact place is "Hastings Rumours" ? ******* Thanks to a testimony from a contact of Robin. Thank you very much Robin ;)
"Hi Robin, sorry for the sluggish reply. I'm afraid I've got almost no information for you. I'm not a huge Sisters of Mercy fan and was just there because it was on; all I remember was an amazing Jolene. And I didn't see them again for another thirty five years, when they played a festival in Portugal, where I now live. Sorry not to be more help..."
Robin last information : "I did speak with someone else who worked on the door in later years and he thought it was called "Rumours" until 1984 when it changed it's name to the "Crypt" "
