Heaven Can Wait features an incomplete bootleg recording from
The Sisters of Mercy's concert at King George's Hall, Blackburn in 1985.
This was the only gig where The Sisters of Mercy performed Stairway To Heaven with lyrics.
On a few other occasions, Stairway To Heaven was played as an instrumental introduction
to their Sister Ray / Ghostrider medleys.
After this gig, since Andrew Eldritch had forgotten (or just didn't know) the words,
The Sisters of Mercy never performed this song live again.
The concert ended, however, in one of The Sisters' famous medleys.
