16 February 1981, Alcuin College (University of York) York, England
This was the first show of The Sisters of Mercy. It was at least partly recorded.
The Sisters of Mercy played as support act with the Thompson Twins.
The concerts took place as a benefit event for the British CND movement.
Two decades later, the 20th Anniversary shows were to take place in the same venue, but
had to be moved to Vanbrugh College as Alcuin was rebuilt. This fact caused many people
to think that the first Sisters gig ever, had taken place at Vanbrugh College as well.
Even in the official Sisters Gigography, the venue is wrong.
