Here are two partial recordings from the "Black October Tour" in 1984. As far as I can remember, these have never been seeded here before. First there is a very good soundboard recording of the gig on the 22nd at the Top Rank in Brighton. Unfortunately, the encore is missing entirely. That's why I've added the unique 23-minute (!) medley played at Manchester University on the 13th. This is from a very good audience recording and if anybody would happen to have the full concert in the same quality, I would very much love to hear it!

A SBD recording taken from the silver bootleg CD, Black October (Exile Records CD 4007). The volume of the second part of the disc (tracks 8-14) was slightly raised, and also the sound of the right channel throughout. No other processing was necessary.

The Sisters Of Mercy
Manchester University
13 Oct. 1984

(encore only)

1. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
2. Hey Joe
3. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
4. Purple Haze
5. Stairway To Heaven (instrumental)
6. Ghostrider
7. Louie Louie


This is the best sounding audience recording of this unique medley, infinitely superior to the one that appeared on the "All Along The Watchtower" bootleg EP, the "Afterhours" bootleg LP and the "1983-1986" bootleg CD.
These songs appear as a single track 10 on the silver bootleg CD, Echoes Vol. II (Live Life LL CD 9211). I have split the track into 7 parts using CD Wave Editor. No other editing was done.
