The Sisters of Mercy - 30th Anniversary - The Stage, Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds UK - 16.02.2011 (Flac)




Excellent audio document of the first gig of the 30th anniversary celebration. The band premiered two new cover versions, Gift That Shines (Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) and Pipeline (Dick Dale) and played More for the first time since 1993, the slow version of Body Electric was also played, like in Leamington last year, but the audience didn't seemed to enjoy it as much as the rest of the songs. Andrew was in a particulary good mood (as expected)and talked a little bit more than usual. The best line is after the Doktor crashes at the end od Suszanne as you'll be able to hear inthe recording. Extra special Thanks to rbose1 for sharing his recording. Artwork by me. Special thanks to everybody who shared their photos on Heartland and FB, they were so many that I lost track of who the photographers were, my apologies for that and if you're the photographer and want to receive credit just send me a messageand I'll update the post.

There was a real party atmosphere for this special show. We were entertained by fire
breathers outside while we queuing up, given a present of a pack of postcards and had abirthday cupcake. Andrew seemed to be enjoying the spontaneous renditions of "Happy Birthday". The emotion got to Dr Avalanche who had a brief pause from duties at the end of Susanne.
