<br/>

A bootleg from one of the very last shows of [[The Sisters of Mercy]] in their [[First And Last And Always (album)|First And Last And Always]] line-up, when [[Gary Marx]] had already left the band. In fact, it was the first gig of the American leg of the [[Gigography#Armageddon_Tour|Armageddon Tour in 1985]]. After these shows, [[The Sisters of Mercy]] returned to England, played the [[Tue, 18-Jun-1985|Royal Albert Hall]], split up a few months later and things developed into those directions we're all used to by now.<br/>
<br/>

The bootleg was originally released in 1990 on vinyl and cd by the famous [[The Swingin' Pig Records]] bootleg label. A year later, a Polish cassette bootleg of similar content surfaced in online auctions. Also the CD-version got bootlegged in 1993. The second CD imitates everything apart from the title "Floorshow", which is replaced by the time and place of the gig.<br/>

'''Remarks'''
* Soundboard recording, excellent sound quality

* The concert is incomplete.
: [[First And Last And Always (song)|First And Last And Always]], [[Walk Away (song)|Walk Away]], [[Emma (song)|Emma]] and [[Amphetamine Logic (song)|Amphetamine Logic]] are missing.

* For some weird reason most of the tracks don't appear in the real order they were played. 
: [[Alice (song)|Alice]] for instance was originally played between [[Floorshow (song)|Floorshow]] and [[Gimme Shelter (song)|Gimme Shelter]].
: This is corrected on the cassette version, but the overall order is still wrong
: for the tracks on side A were the last four songs at the gig.

* Total Duration: 31:44 min. 
: There are minor differences in track times on the cassette.

* The vinyl version has tracks 1 - 4 on side A and tracks 5 - 7 on  side B.
: The same accounts for the cassette.

* Vinyls are known to exist in the following colour versions:
: black, grey, grey marbled, green marbled, darkgreen marbled, yellow, brown, brown marbled, blue marbled.

* As usual the song credits are also mixed up, [[Floorshow (song)|Floorshow]] is credited to some guy called "Jennings".
