The Sisters Of Mercy - Belga Beach Festival, Zeebrugge, Belgium - 24.07.1993 (Flac)

 And the final treat for today, from Egg_Crisis. A second audio version for the Belga Beach concert. The sound is crispier and less boomy in this version when compared to the other version that it's already on the blog. A HUGE THANK to Egg_Crisis for sharing his master recording.

NOTES:

Cassette(aud,master,TDK SA90,recorded on Saisho PS 35R with built-in mic) > wav > Soundforge(normalise uneven L+R channels) > CDWave(split on sector boundaries) > flac(6)

Tape flip a few seconds into the start of Temple of Love.

The order of bands playing were: Sunscreem, The Wonder Stuff, Van Morrison, The Sisters Of Mercy, Bjorn Again, Vaya Con Dios, Depeche Mode.

Weather was nice earlier in the day.  I had a lie down on the beach and a little sleep during Van Morrison's set.  That's not a criticism of Van, I felt a bit tired and the music was relaxing to listen to.  It'd been a nice day but an epic rain and thunderstorm started, overshadowing by several magnitudes the thunderstorm-effect intro Depeche Mode were starting their set with.  Endured a couple of songs then legged it back to the bus.

I've no idea how this compares to other versions.  This is the first time I've made a digital copy of my tape, although I probably made one or two tape copies back in the day.

Setlist:

01 Ribbons
02 Floorshow
03 Giving Ground
04 More
05 Destination Boulevard
06 Alice
07 Amphetamine Logic
08 Body Electric
09 First And Last And Always

RE-UPLOAD: The Sisters of Mercy - NEC, Birmingham, UK - 22.12.1993 (Flac)

An upgrade to Flac of one of my favorite concerts. HUGE Thanks to DrG for sending me this version to share here, and of course to the original poster on Dime,  gimmetruth.

DrG Notes:  Corrected track 6 mislabeled "Destination...", removed MD5 in favor of FFP from FLAC Frontend.  Shared at Heartland with good grace of gimmetruth!

NOTE FOR DARK CIRLCE ROOM POST: Some bootlegs sound like they were recorded in a tin can, some like they were dropped in a bucket of water. I listen to all my music through Winamp with *flat* EQ. However, with most *iffy* sounding bootlegs, chances are that EQing can help. That is how I remaster some recordings for CD (to play in a car and such). At home, I use Winamp's EQ to make a tinny bootleg have more bass, and a bassy boot have more treble. Try it... experiment. I can send you a screen shot for the preset I made for this TSOM recording if you need... I love it! It's twice as loud and adds punch!!!

Lineage: Trade CDr -> TLH -> Flac

NOTES: Sounds not good, I would rate it 4 on a scale from 0 to 10, so this one is mainly for collector. Some drops are present, probably due to a bad connection on the mic wire. A pity, because the concert is great with a lot of medley and extended versions of songs. First concert with Adam Pearson on guitar. Also one of the few times the band played Hawkwind's Silver Machine.

Setlist:

01. Comfortably Numb / Some Kind Of Stranger
02. Ribbons

The Sisters Of Mercy - Crystal Palace, London, UK - 31.07.1993 (Batmix FLAC)

Excellent sounding version of this recording. Thanks to Steve for his work and fo the share on the now extinct forum Cureconnections,

Original Info File.

Lineage: CD-EAC(WAV)>FLAC level 8>convert to WAV with TLH>adobe audition 3, slight EQ to richen it a bit>FLAC Level 8 with TLH>You

Using the 0 gen version from dime (original text included), I decided to work on making the sound a bit more warm & rich.
I think I got it about right & it's a bit easier to listen to at volume now.
The date is the 31st. I went to see this show. How could I resist the Sisters & Depeche Mode on the same evening?
Thankfully, they didn't murder Comfortably Numb that evening.
Great perfeormance, marred only by the fact that the bass died during Floorshow & Andrew insisted on being extra chatty.
Please don't distribute this as a lossy set. It is a damn good recording & it's a shame to have it messed up like that.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Eissporthalle, Kassel, Germany - 04.12.1993 (Flac)

Another upgrade to Flac. Thanks to the original uploader.

Original Notes:

Part of the SUPERBANG Tour 1993 The Sisters of Mercy were headlining the "Festival". Other bands were  The Ramones, Type O Negative and Monster Magnet. After Monster Magnet we had to leave the venue cause some left wing people told the venue, accusing Tpe-O-Negative for being a right wing nazi band, that  they installed some bombs which they would bring to detonation when Type-O-Negative starts playing. No bombs were found and after one hour in a nice cold december night, we could go in again for our festival without Type-O-Negative of course...

Not my best recording, but the acoustic in a ice hokey stadium is not very perfect.....

The Sisters of Mercy - Crystal Palace, London - 31.07.1993 (MultiCam DVD)

I already posted a DVD of this concert, but this one is something totally diferent! This is a MultiCam made by Sisterstekland Aka Lasyboylive, using the two different video angles from this concert, both cleaned up of  some imperfections on the image, synched with a remastered sound from the "Enjoy The Puppet Show" bootleg. He was kind enough to let me share it, so all thanks go to him for his hard work and generosity.

video is good but shows problems with heavy lightning and fog. set saturation and brightness-values on your device. audio is now very nice, adjust to your device and turn up loud

A nice show and the first of the 1993 Overbombing Tour. Andrew is in more than good mood, which can be made out easily. his vocal performance also shows this circumstance, with both great ups and small downs, especially when it's something fast. andrew is the man to give away his soul to the audience. feel it!

Rise, Reverberate.
