The Sisters of Mercy - Artmania, Sibiu, Romania - 13.08.2010 (DVD)

I wasn't intending to share this one here in the DCR, but after I posted the DIME link at Heartland, I got some PMs and e-mails from HLers asking me to post this one because they didn't had a DIME account.

All credit for taping and sharing goes to Satanic/ www.bloodbath.ro . It's a excellent audience recording, even if the taper is very far from stage and with the zoom almost always at the max, he still keeps a steady image dispite the fact that he didn't had a tripod, so an extra Shout Out Loud for his skills, Respect!

Was the first visit of the SoM in Romania, at one of the best festivals from here (Artmania). This version (i think exist more two - i see the videocameras in the venue) is a handy record. To put my tripod somewhere was to much for the promoters :)).

This dvd is not for sale. Was made by a fan for others fans so please, keep the original format, don't reencode, don't split (dual layers dvd's is very cheap and almost all dvd writers recognize this format), trade for free and go to concerts and buy official products!

Salvation - Great Northern Rock Session, 02.11.1987 (Flac)

A the second contribution og Egg_Crisis to the blog today. I already had been asked for more stuff from this band, unfortunately I had nothing worthy of posting, so this one fits as a glove. Again Thanks to Egg_Crisis for sharing this session here on DCR.

02 Pearl Necklace

04 The Happening
05 Thunderbird
06 Listen To Her Heart
07 Interview (Incomplete)

Length - 25:34

Great Northern Rock was a radio show broadcast on various BBC local radio stations in the Yorkshire area, BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio Leeds, BBC Radio Humberside being 3 of them.

It's probably only 1st gen although it sounds a lot worse due to poor radio reception.  Recorded by a friend in York, unless she got it from someone else in which case it's 2nd gen. I received the tape in December'87 so it hadn't had time to go a lot of generations.

There's a weird sound at 2:53 on track 2, 0:57 on track 4, 2:40 of track 5, and 2:08 of track 6 that's present on the original tape, not a processing artifact.  Sounds like maybe the record button was pressed instead of stop at some point before I got it. The right channel was noticeably worse than the left, and normally I'd have thrown the right channel away and just used the left, but the stereo is quite noticeable in parts so I had to keep both.

The Sisters of Mercy - Belgium TV Interview 1985 (Video)

I've been asked by Florian to post this interview and I delayed it on porpuse, since I was trying to get a better source than this one. I have a second source but it's very grainy and in B/W, so this one, as awful as it is, it's still a little better since it's in colour, but the picture has lots of fluctuations. Even so it's a classic, with Andrew being very much himself, as the reporter tries some dumb questions.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Inter Stadion, Bratislava - 11.06.2006 (Flac)
