16 February 1981, Alcuin College (University of York), England
This was the first show of The Sisters of Mercy - as support act with the Thompson Twins.
According to the official gigography, the concerts were a benefit event for the British CND movement.
The Sisters' gig was at least partly recorded. Good Things, for example, can be found on the Kenny Giles Walks On Water Bootleg.
Remarks:
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.
Setlist
