The Sisters of Mercy - The Roxy TV Show Performances - 1987 / 1988 (VOB Video)

The sisters didn't tour during the Floodland era, but they sure promoted it has much as they could, the videoclips had a massive rotation on the music channels and they did various appearances in TV shows. As a result of all of this promotion the image of the band was used until exhaustion. That's probably the reason most people still associate this incarnation of the band (Andrew and Patricia) as being The Sisters of Mercy.

This videos are very 80's, but that's probably why that still maintain their appeal, more that twenty years later...

The Sisters Of Mercy - Kir Club, Hamburg - 31.08.1983

There's a vinyl bootleg of this concert, but misses 6 songs (Kiss, Anaconda, Heartland, Emma, Floorshow and Gimme Shelter), that actually are stated as present in the cover, instead of the last two songs (Lights and Sister Ray) that occupy all of the B-side and are not listed anywhere. Dumb bootleggers... EDIT: Actually, the bootleggers covered the mistake with a Sticker with the correct tracklist, it seems my copy doesn't have that sticker.

This recording was shared by Cyberbio and is taken from a tape.

The Frontcover is "The Phoenix" by Rembrandt, 1658.

Good sound, in FLAC.
