Armageddon Tour Logo 1985

Teatro Espero, Rome, Italy

Part of the Italian leg of The Sisters of Mercy's Armageddon Tour in 1985.

For a lovely read about the venue and the circumstances of this show see Armageddon in Italia 3 - Home in Rome

at the I Was A Teenage Sisters of Mercy Fan blog.

The concert was recorded and is in circulation among the fanbase. Existing live bootlegs from this show

are Black Planet (CD) and We're All Aware Of That (vinyl), recently surfacing on CD as well.

Beyond these, a further release titled Reverberation Across The Nation was planned, but never saw the light of day.

Ticket stub  * if we remember correctly, this was sent to us a long time ago by Heartland Forum member brunobossier, so thanks for that.
