Stairway To Heaven - CD Cover (front)
Stairway To Heaven - CD Cover (back)



Stairway To Heaven is a bootleg from The Sisters of Mercy's gig at King George Hall, Blackburn in 1985.

A LP bootleg of this concert does also exist and is titled "Heaven Can Wait". The recording on there is, however, an incomplete version.

This was the only occasion where The Sisters of Mercy performed Stairway To Heaven

live with lyrics. They had played the song a few times before, but only as an instrumental

introduction to their Sister Ray / Ghostrider medleys.

Tape cover for a recording of The Sisters of Mercy's gig at Blackburn, King George's Hall


However, after this concert, maybe since Eldritch forgot (or just didn't know) the words,

they never performed Stairway To Heavenas a separate song again.

Most likely a cassette like the one you see here on the right is

the origin of the recording used for this CD production.
