Night Two of The Sisters of Mercy at Brixton Academy. Night One had been fantastic, the best Sisters gig I'd ever seen. Could Night Two compete in any way to what had occurred under 24 hours earlier? We opted to stay for an extra pint in the pre-gig pub as opposed to see La Costa … Continue reading GIG 144: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 21st December 1993

GIG 143: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 20th December 1993
This was the fourth time I'd seen The Sisters of Mercy. The first two were at Wembley Arena (GIG 069 and GIG 070) and then outside at Crystal Palace supporting Depeche Mode (GIG 124). But tonight was at one of my favourite venues - Brixton Academy. Much smaller than an arena gig, so this was … Continue reading GIG 143: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 20th December 1993
GIG 124: Depeche Mode / The Sisters of Mercy / Marxman / Dub Syndicate – Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, 13th July 1993
Crystal Palace was the scene of the finale of the European leg of Depeche Mode's "Devotional Tour". Having played their 1990 'Violator' album to death they were a band I'd long wanted to see live - and the bonus at Crystal Palace was that The Sisters of Mercy were supporting them! So wild horses weren't … Continue reading GIG 124: Depeche Mode / The Sisters of Mercy / Marxman / Dub Syndicate – Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, 13th July 1993
GIG 070: Sisters of Mercy / The Mothers – Wembley Arena, 26th November 1990
This was the second time in three days that I was at Wembley Arena to see what was probably my favourite band of the time (and still among my favourites today). I was the only one of the group who had been to the gig on Saturday that also had tickets for Monday night too, … Continue reading GIG 070: Sisters of Mercy / The Mothers – Wembley Arena, 26th November 1990
GIG 069: Sisters of Mercy / The Mothers – Wembley Arena, 24th November 1990
This was a big moment for me. The Sisters of Mercy were one of my favourite bands at the time (along with The Mission, Ghost Dance and Fields of the Nephilim) and the only one of those I hadn't yet seen. They were playing Wembley Arena on their Vision Thing tour. Many people didn't think … Continue reading GIG 069: Sisters of Mercy / The Mothers – Wembley Arena, 24th November 1990
