Irving Plaza, New York 6/8/1984

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.

Have added some info about this gig to my TSOM blog which might interest some of you, summarising some stuff which came out on FB recently plus a few other bits and pieces.
Any more info gratefully received.
Will be blogging about the Italian gigs on the Armageddon Tour '85 next week if anyone's interested.

Nice work @NVL :notworthy: ,good to see someone looking for informations regarding the old gigs. :)
For the Irving Plaza gig the 06.08.84 , i haven't got a lot of informations to give you .
All I know is that this date appear well on the Merciful Release booklet communication on the time.
I included 3 scans , they talk about 2 nights in New York ("Irving Plaza" 06.08 and "The Ritz" 09.08 ) .
But they do not talk about the 2 USA dates ,10.04.84 New York "Danceteria" and 7.08.84 Chicago "Exit Club", that i see everywhere on websites (except on the official Sisters website).
If someone can prove these 2 dates, I'm very interested.
It's not easy to find informations on USA gigs, but I have recently bought on ebay the 1983 press cuttings that I have posted here .

Another great find, @spiggymr7, :notworthy:
I like the reference to the "memorable shambles" at Aylesbury, one of Dr Avalanche's many indiscretions during that era !

Suitably awesome stuff as usual. :notworthy:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
