I Can't Await To Meet My Deadly Friends
| This page is Work in Progress and going to be extended as soon as ever possible |
A vinyl LP bootleg that was released in three editions. These releases feature picked live tracks from two Sisters of Mercy's concerts in Bremen, one in '84 and the other in '85. The record opens with the two main songs from their first single The Damage Done.
As they have an identical tracklist and they are titeled the same, they are considered to be different editions of the same record. Nevertheless these variations have totally different covers and at first sight it seems that they are not the same LP at all.
However, the front coverarts of these three unlike designs have one detail in common. All the pictures have a religous background.(See below)

General Remarks
- Same content as the second disc of the 2LP Bootleg Kings And Queen
- Knockin' On Heaven's Door has as intro a short version of Fix. Then, when Doktor Avalanche introduces the main song, sombody of the audience shouts "We will, we will rock you". As the rhythm is very similar to this Queen song[[1]], it has an amusing effect.
