My favorite live concert footage of all time. Top of their game here, per performance, no video backdrop or gimmicks, just a band rocking out turning a venue into a church. Perfection.
I disagree. In fact, even as a SoM gig it’s pretty weak. They were only a 3 piece at this point, Eldritch seems tethered to the mic stand and Wayne is lost in the corner. Even the set list was mediocre. There are people who claim the encore of the Ghostrider/Sister Ray medley was a lot looser and livelier, but the main show here is pretty lame. Compare this to the Tour Thing gigs with Eldritch howling the lyrics to Ribbons and the blistering lights. Back before he went too far and became a parody of himself as seen in the most recent tour.
@@tylerskissI saw them in the mid 90s in Philadelphia. Hands down one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. Lifeless, dull. Why not have a real drummer for shows? They may as well have been just lip syncing. Being there was a blast seeing all the goth weirdness, but yeah. SoM is a joke live
@@tylerskiss I never saw any better performance of either the mission or the sisters live or on youtube anywhere. But i guess you can have your opinion. Whats wrong with the setlist? The first album is where it's at, the 2nd album could never interest me. This was at the time when they didn't fill their setlist with later stuff, all the better if you ask me.
Indeed, Timeless. And nowdays with the pandemic cloud all over, it seems that what they saw in advance forced them to sing not for the happy blind but for the unfortunate visionaries...
From peaking it usually goes downhill. Sad to say. Totally agree that after this he/they hasn't met up to those standards, but there has also been some major ups and downs. Hoping for the best next time!
Cheers for putting the set list up, enjoying a Lemon and Mint Shisha and have a fireplace on whilst watching from Western Sydney Australia✓✓✓,last days of Winter
I raise a glass to all my fellow aged Goths...and in these Covid times as we struggle to pay off our mortgages and we see our kids go off to university and to work and out to face the capitalist and superficial world...remember to light a candle and 'keep the faith'... blast out the old tunes...the Sisters, Bauhaus, The Mish, Nephilim, Soiuxsie and those who followed.
Hahaha. I’ve got a few on Eldritch, my kids are are grown with kids of their own, mortgage and all else paid, it’s 2am, I have a 500w olds cool system hooked up to my desktop which include a pair of NS10’s and sharing with the neighbour’s... tired enough to sleep but can’t bring myself to turn it down.. Amazing how many young un’s wish they grew up earlier because of the music: sometimes I think it’s just nostalgia but it’s real, it really was the shit. Stay safe.
@@id10tcertified hey...my kids are 26, 22, 19...my mortgage and all debts will be cleared in three years time. Then, assuming they're all independent, I'm thinking of reliving my youth: music, motorbikes, gigs maybe goth up big time and head to Whitby. Party on!
I know a lot of original fans of the band aren't massive fans of Wake and by accounts it wasn't their best performance or whatever - but being only 48 I never got to see the band in their early incarnations. But FARK ME this is so so so good. I first watched this back in ... 1986? On VHS. I've never tired of it. It gets better with age. I think as a 3 piece they slayed (no disrespect to Marx). Hussey and Adams are on fire here. Von is wired, immaculate. Love it. It builds and builds. By Floorshow and Alice it's apocalyptic. Just what you want to watch as the world falls to pieces.
@@jamesmoriarty5113 Agreed.They were just as entertaining.I was a little concerned when learned Marx had quit but Hussey did a great job.I too was there and the only difference I found was the venue size(the arena's where you want to be ideally).Every gig I'd been to before were more intimate.
I was baby years old when this took place, but godamn! it it’s the best thing that ever happened to music, legendary! Andrew’s voice sending shivers down my spine 🧡 wish I could have been there.
It’s an octave or and in some parts a fifth higher that the original recording cause I guess Andrew straggles a lot with E2 and F#2 being a baritone and not a bass but yeah it was a pretty cool alternative version.
WE WERE SO LUCKY TO HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MANY INNOVATIVE AND INFLUENTIAL BANDS LIKE JOY DIVISION , SISTERS OR THE SMITHS !!! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS TODAY!!!!
When I saw them live, they were super loud. I wasn’t expecting that loud, amazing. Eldritch was very elegant as Mr Darkness, and Dr Avalanche was at its best!
so much more emotion , devastating... when compared to Hot Chocolate's original , the emma scream at the end conveying all that emotion of finding a loved one dead from suicide
Was gonna post it, coming back to this concert every once in a while you can see him in complete trance during Emma almost howling at the moon above. Makes the song sound so much more haunting than the original.
Strange to me : I was 10 in 1985 but go to know them in 1990 When I was ... 15 from a cassette from friend at school (one side first & last & always / other floodland) ... later learned that alot of people knew them at 15 years of age and are still fan :)
Oh to those GOTH DAZE OF MY YOUTH....Kensington Market, Camden Lock, The Great Gear Market King's Road......The Sisters....Siouxsie, Bauhaus, Echo, The Cocteaus, The Fields of the Nephilim
The days of good speed, burning nasal passages, black hair dye, paisley shirts, patchoully oil and living in squats around London. Now married, kids left home and working a 6 day week watching youtube videos of days that were and gigs that I had gone to and wished I had gone to
7:50 -12:40 is quintessential S.O.M. - quintessential Goth -era music, style and nuance. The very best the UK - or anywhere else for that matter - had to offer. A bygone era with great memories and near-misses.
Yeah, I still have the original VHS Cassette somewhere and it feels like it´s been only 10 years ago. I´m still closer to this music/feeling/looks than to everything that came after, although I´m really open to new music.
I agree, it's most importantly smartphones and internet raising's fault, and of course their misuse of these instruments got things even worse. Back in the fabulous 1980s, there were heavy metal, rock, new wave and first efforts to create the modern techno music. All heart-made music, in few words. Now, what do we have? Trap and reggaeton, hideous and vile music created only for money. The oncoming generation, that of the late 2010s, is probably the most ignorant and meaningless so far. Hopefully the things will not be improving in the next decades, but I know I'm probably daydreaming.
Wow absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this excellent top-notch & sound quality Sisters of Mercy concert. Amazing out of this world voice. Mesmerizing Hypnotizing.
This reminds me of my youth....I was only 15 and still at high school when this was filmed.......sadly I’ve never been to a Sisters concert but I’ve spent many a hazy night with friends listening to their albums over the decades.......special times
It is and was, but sadly it was also the swan song of a great lineup of a great band that was crumbling to bits even as it got some real momentum going. Most bands don't break up just as their first big major label album comes out! But that's what happened. I'm almost shocked that Elektra gave Andy the go ahead to do Floodland given that there was no band left after this. I guess they signed the contract and had to deliver albums! But what Sisters would deliver them? That remained to be seen. But what resulted had almost nothing to do with the earlier incarnations of the band.
It might have crumbled but thats when you get the best out of it, should be on every musical curriculum, seen a few great bands a few times over the decades this is one I would have loved to be in the middle of if they invent a time machine 1st stop for me, brilliant
Just wanted to say that I'm here enjoying this kind of stuff to discover new music and then, when I like what I hear, SUPPORT THE ARTIST. When I discover a great album online I then go purchase it.
cara! que perfomance foda! Andrew é um vocalista foda e também a cara tapa de todo o projeto, ele faz a aura do lugar mudar totalmente. Eldritch é um nome muito forte e ele consegue ter isso, ter aquilo que faz essa show ser mais do que incrível. os riffs deles, o baixo que trás a atmosfera de WAKE. jesus eu me arrepio toda vez que vejo kkkkk sem contar das músicas que pqp minha predileta é walk away mas a perfomance de first last and always … UAU!!!! Massa também é ver a plateia realmente curtindo…
eu conheci sister of mercy , bahaus , she past away, the mission etc..em 2019..de lá pra cá escuto sister of mercy todos os dias , graças a deus !.. olha o som desse baixo , a guitarra e a voz então..é de uma uma elegância de outro planeta, eu fico hipnotizado de assistir um espetáculo desse, sou de 1979, como que eu vivi esse tempo todo sem conhecer essa banda, imagina a adrenalina de quem assistiu um show de uma magnitude dessa.
I brought this vhs in 1986 and my mum wanted to see what i was watching (i was 15), she starting having fu*king kittens, its so mesmerising to me even now, I don't know any band that has this visual power now, sends shivers down the spine, sisters 2024!!!
3 роки тому+6
I´m Portuguese and I was there. Great concert! Great times!
For me, the original and best line up. Until today it's never be the same as it was back then. I started to follow Hussey and Adams, Saw the sisters twice in Brussels in 2018 and always wonder what it would be like to have them back in the band.
Can we just turn back time?! 😭😭😭 This is too perfect to be true. Everything is absolutely marvelous: music, Eldritch's voice and just, admit it, breathtaking looks. What a vibe.
@@bradleyclarke4432 Each to their own. Technically, Wayne is a better singer, part of the reason his voice has improved with age, whereas Andrew has permanently damaged his vocal chords through bad technique and can't sing well, very sadly, any more.
Still love this - "Marian" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" are especially good. Wonder if Wayne and Craig realised the significance of Andrew's final words: "Thank you ... and Goodbye."
First Gary Marx, then Craig & Wayne leaving. Who would have thought that Eldritch and his massive ego would have carried on? Well he did and still performs as the Sisters, like him or not Eldritch preserves..
@@midnightbiker9175 pleased to announce that they have. When Tim Bricheno was in the band, he made a point of reintroducing Wayne to Andrew: who after a few civil niceties assured Wayne he was the best guitarist he’d worked with. And they shared a hug. Source: Wayne’s autobiography Salad Days.
When you just think you'll give this a go, and then see it's 56 minutes, and think, bugger, I'll just try the first couple of tracks..... And then find yourself at the end wanting more..........sheesh, how did that happen??
This is about me and my work for the African National Congress in the eighties in Johannesburg as Colonel for their unit known as Politica or Solznet by the Beatles for I am leading the ANC now and i am proud to know your name, Sisters of Mercy and you are on my guestlist.
Sisters of Mercy is a British rock music group. I don't remember this group having any political ties and I have been around a long time. Sisters of Mercy was taken from a British convent of nuns.
This Sisters concert is .. This magic moment So different, and so new.. This magic moment Sweeter than wine Softer than a summer's night So please, baby So please Save the last dance for me.. (Lou Reed ) it sticks so well with my feelings at listenning this moment, and it's the last magic moment of the Sisters's band , in my opinion.
I love the 80's Sisters of Mercy so much and this concert is a treasure, for sure. Marian is a desert Island song of mine but one thing is apparent, and really only in this song, is how Marx was missed. That said, this concert sounds sounds fantastic and I greatly appreciate uploading it.
Gary Marx had left earlier on the tour-they did surprisingly well (there was speculation how they'd do w'out him).Old friend of mine drove transport for them and got me on guest list when they played in England;great times.
As I understand it, Gary was out of the band at that time but invited to play the show since he was there from the beginning. He went to a bar instead. It was his 25th birthday I think.
Absolutely. Apparently at the big venues like Wembley, you're expected to sit on a chair throughout and not do anything rowdy at the big concert halls these days. Probably why I give ALL of my gig money to the smaller, more intimate venues where you can actually enjoy yourself. If I wan to clap politely, I'll go to watch opera.
The fog machine was working on overtime when my friend of mine and I saw them at The Ritz in lower Manhattan back in 1985. We both got excellent recordings of that show and it remains one of my favorite live shows of all time.
ich hatte gehofft, Sisters of Mercy bei Mera Luna zu sehen ,aber alle haben abgesagt ich hoffe ,sie können immer noch ein gute Show machen . Es ist eine Weile her , seit ich si gesehen habe
Much as I'd like to, I don't go to Sisters gigs now. Andrew's voice is embarrassingly shot, and has been the last three times I've seen them play live. It's a bit of a piss take now, sadly. I'll stick with gigs like this and see The Mish live as they can still deliver.
After reading Salad Daze and Another War I no longer see this performance as a master at work, I understand him so much better. He's a madman who calculated so much and, lack of a better term, bullshitted his way to the top. I see him as a calculated young man who planned so much and driven by dedication. This is him at his best, at the end of the facade. The moment before the "true" sisters died, as was intended. He's a normal man like any of us and the uncertain future to come after this show must have been terrifying to anyone, especially a 25 year old. Wish I had his insight at that age. Keep rocking Andy. Thanks for the music \m/
The first time I heard "A slight case of overbombing" I was BLOWN AWAY!!!" Confirmed goth super fan ever since. I bought every cd, this was the 90's. Sisters of mercy are timeless IMO.
Three men and a drum machine have never created such a spectral sound experience ever since. One of a kind and timeless.
My favorite live concert footage of all time. Top of their game here, per performance, no video backdrop or gimmicks, just a band rocking out turning a venue into a church. Perfection.

got my first tat listening to that gem , still shivers me too

Beats Wayne Pussies later attempts stick to the guitar mate.
Think the best ever was Black Halloween at The Lyceum.
@@bradleyclarke4432 Each to their own. Technically, Wayne is a better singer, part of the reason his voice has improved with age, whereas Andrew has permanently damaged his vocal chords through bad technique and can't sing well, very sadly, any more.
The best band in the world!
Great times. Actual goosebumps watching this 💀
Still love this - "Marian" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" are especially good.
Wonder if Wayne and Craig realised the significance of Andrew's final words: "Thank you ... and Goodbye."
I heard somewhere that Wayne and Andrew haven’t spoken to each other since 1985……..it’s pretty sad if true as they are both great musicians.
I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure this was advertised as their final ever gig. Either way Adam’s and Hussey already knew the band was splitting
First Gary Marx, then Craig & Wayne leaving. Who would have thought that Eldritch and his massive ego would have carried on? Well he did and still performs as the Sisters, like him or not Eldritch preserves..
@@midnightbiker9175 pleased to announce that they have. When Tim Bricheno was in the band, he made a point of reintroducing Wayne to Andrew: who after a few civil niceties assured Wayne he was the best guitarist he’d worked with. And they shared a hug. Source: Wayne’s autobiography Salad Days.
36 years later - still priceless
When you just think you'll give this a go, and then see it's 56 minutes, and think, bugger, I'll just try the first couple of tracks.....
And then find yourself at the end wanting more..........sheesh, how did that happen??
This is about me and my work for the African National Congress in the eighties in Johannesburg as Colonel for their unit known as Politica or Solznet by the Beatles for I am leading the ANC now and i am proud to know your name, Sisters of Mercy and you are on my guestlist.
Sisters of Mercy is a British rock music group. I don't remember this group having any political ties and I have been around a long time. Sisters of Mercy was taken from a British convent of nuns.
Best wishes Bruce, but I doubt anyone here knows what the hell you're on about.
Last show ever with this lineup....and they had just gotten their live sound right.
Craig's legendary sparkly shirt! :-)
I was in a rising of a shy friendShIp
With him and he did his cutie&braVE outfit with me!
CooL you likes it!!!
This Sisters concert is ..
This magic moment
So different, and so new..
This magic moment
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
So please, baby
So please
Save the last dance for me..
(Lou Reed )
it sticks so well with my feelings at listenning this moment,
and it's the last magic moment
of the Sisters's band , in my opinion.
I love the 80's Sisters of Mercy so much and this concert is a treasure, for sure. Marian is a desert Island song of mine but one thing is apparent, and really only in this song, is how Marx was missed. That said, this concert sounds sounds fantastic and I greatly appreciate uploading it.
Gary Marx had left earlier on the tour-they did surprisingly well (there was speculation how they'd do w'out him).Old friend of mine drove transport for them and got me on guest list when they played in England;great times.
As I understand it, Gary was out of the band at that time but invited to play the show since he was there from the beginning. He went to a bar instead. It was his 25th birthday I think.
Fantásticos! Eu adoro o Sisters of Mercy!
I got my wife really into the Sisters thanks, she truly loves this too
This is how a rock show looks like. Thank you!
Absolutely. Apparently at the big venues like Wembley, you're expected to sit on a chair throughout and not do anything rowdy at the big concert halls these days. Probably why I give ALL of my gig money to the smaller, more intimate venues where you can actually enjoy yourself. If I wan to clap politely, I'll go to watch opera.
March 1985 Leeds University. I was on a working holiday in England.
I saw them 11 March 1985 at Lower Refrectory Sheffield University.. it was Amazing Gig
2024 and still hunting...
The fog machine was working on overtime when my friend of mine and I saw them at The Ritz in lower Manhattan back in 1985. We both got excellent recordings of that show and it remains one of my favorite live shows of all time.
30 year fan! I love Sisters of mercy💙💫
Não me canso de assistir esse vídeo, fantástico!!!!!

É nóis 😎
@@andremacleod1375 Aí cara, já somos mais então. Aqui de Portugal, também sou viciado nesta autêntica pérola.
andrew, hussey, adams, gary marx são magnificos..eles eram pra frente do seu tempo, imagina quem assistiu esse show em 1985 .
They were great in the 80s unfortunately after 93 they faded . Andrew never seemed the same .
A great time to be a goth
Did you check their 2020 concerts on UA-cam? They’re surprisingly good! A lot of new songs and the new songs are great!
ich hatte gehofft, Sisters of Mercy bei Mera Luna zu sehen ,aber alle haben abgesagt ich hoffe ,sie können immer noch ein gute Show machen . Es ist eine Weile her , seit ich si gesehen habe
Much as I'd like to, I don't go to Sisters gigs now. Andrew's voice is embarrassingly shot, and has been the last three times I've seen them play live. It's a bit of a piss take now, sadly. I'll stick with gigs like this and see The Mish live as they can still deliver.
I personally prefer the Mission now
I was there !
I saw the Sisters a week later 25th or 26th June 85 at the Albert hall there last show with that line up, brilliant show
Yeah!!!
Just wish I’d seen them live during this era.......in many ways this was them at their best🎸
Sisters, my start into rock, goth, metal in the early 90s
Thx 🤘🖤
This version of Emma kills.
Listening right now - heard this version for the first time back in... ooh 1986... It never ever gets old. Love it.
Absolutely devastating
Emma @ The Paradiso in Amsterdam in 1983 is a very intense version, too. “For those without tears, prepare to shed them now...”
Absolutely nailed.
a real piece of treasure!!
Recuerdo cuando vi este video por primera vez... exactamente en VHS, en el año 1995... pensé que es esto que me gusta... encontré mi sentir
❤
After reading Salad Daze and Another War I no longer see this performance as a master at work, I understand him so much better. He's a madman who calculated so much and, lack of a better term, bullshitted his way to the top. I see him as a calculated young man who planned so much and driven by dedication. This is him at his best, at the end of the facade. The moment before the "true" sisters died, as was intended.
He's a normal man like any of us and the uncertain future to come after this show must have been terrifying to anyone, especially a 25 year old. Wish I had his insight at that age. Keep rocking Andy. Thanks for the music \m/
I love The Sisters of M. Watching this Reminded me. Why I have always loved this Band: Forever and influenced so much as Who I am Today.
Nice sound on this video.Well mixed.
The first time I heard "A slight case of overbombing" I was BLOWN AWAY!!!" Confirmed goth super fan ever since. I bought every cd, this was the 90's. Sisters of mercy are timeless IMO.
Timeless...
My first Live Concert in the Blue Moon in Germany .....Memories :)
And mine at The Powerhouse in Birmingham a few months prior to this...
I believe I saw this same tour in Boston. It's was a great show.
The most significant band in my life for decades .
HAHA! Those streaky moments that remind you this came from TAPE!!! Love it! ...the kids'll never understand!
I loved this and still love it that beat is awesome all 2gether 💥💥💥💥💥💥
thanks for uploading.
👍🏻
Wayne is magical on guitar !!!!
Just perfection...and that was the end of the real Sisters of Mercy :'(
Had to wait until 91 to see them in Montreal Canada. Great memorable show. Top 3 for sure.
I saw Sister's way back in 1983 in a little hole in the wall club in San Francisco and have loved them from that night on.
