Hi,
I'm really in a mess.
I'm listenning carrefully 3 sisters bootleg and I can't really be sure of the date and the venues.

1 : Live at the trojan horse (Speed over 2% in Adobe Audition (stretch/high precision + resample))
2 : 1984.05.26 - The Sisters Of Mercy Den Haag Mixing desk M1 (from Spiggy)
3 : Echo (BC 019/2) first CD (labelled as Melkweg 1984.06.02)

I obviously trust the Spiggy notes, but :

Source 2 & 3 look to my ears from the same gig from me (but not the same source) : so I presume that the Echo silver CD is wrong labelled and is from den Haag.

BUT 1 & 2 differs on some points (the announce of body electric for example : on 1 is on the guitar riff and on 2 it is on the fifth beat from doktor avalanche first verse. It can't be an edit. So, wich one is from Den Haag for sure ?

So, could somebody be kindly enough to help me fill my blanks.
Sorry if this looks newbie.
Thanks in advance.

Don't sweat being 'new'* - we're (mostly) civil, and rarely eat anyone alive. :wink:

I'm not able to answer your question, but I'm going to suggest that you post it in the Sisters Chat forum as well - it's got a better chance of being answered there. :)

"This is called Burn... eventually"/"It's his birthday so he's gotta be indulged"/"You've got Scottish written all over your bum" is Den Haag. I haven't listened to Melkweg in years, so don't remember any standout from that.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Back here from a long time, and I even had to check an old mail account to retrieve my login information. :|

In fact, you all seem to be so experts that it seems difficult for me to post something that might help :?

Thanxs anyways for beeing my n°1 sisters information source.

i've got echo cd1 and it's melkweg for sure. check out track 12, it should be 11:54 and it's ghostrider/ sister ray medley. on den haag track 12 is just sister ray. if this not work it mean that your echo is not really echo :innocent: :wink:

you're wrong again. i've got silver "trojan horse" and Spiggythecat recording shared on dime, announce of body electric is exacly the same on both, at fifth doctor's kick. :? looks that your "live in the trojan horse" is not what you think :roll:
