THE SISTERS OF MERCY - LYCEUM 25.3.85
An essential piece of underground gothic history, this Lyceum 25.3.85 bootleg cassette preserves the most electric hour of The Sisters of Mercy’s final stand. Bookended by the haunting precision of 'First and Last and Always' and the raw, unbridled power of their 'Gimme Shelter' cover, this tape offers a visceral alternative to the sanitized official releases. It captures the heavy atmosphere of a band on the brink of collapse, delivering a performance that is as tense as it is brilliant. For those who want the definitive '85 Lyceum experience without the official edits, this nocturnal time capsule is the gold standard of darkwave bootlegging.
Bootleg cassette from UK, likely of edited/condensed set (last song is Gimme Shelter cover which was the first encore, though Gimme Shelter and the rest of the encore was not included on the official VHS of the concert due to copyrighting). The TDK90 tape used for this recording was manufactured in early/mid 1980s, likely dating this bootleg to the mid/late 1980s (obviously made after the 1985 show date).
