Tape cover for a recording of The Sisters of Mercy's gig at Blackburn, King George's Hall


Stairway To Heaven is a bootleg from The Sisters' gig at King George Hall, Blackburn in 1985.

The LP bootleg of this concert, "Heaven Can Wait", is an incomplete version.

This was the only occasion where The Sisters of Mercy performed Stairway To Heaven

live with lyrics. They had played the song a few times before, but only as an instrumental

introduction to their Sister Ray / Ghostrider medleys.

However, after this concert, maybe since Eldritch forgot (or just didn't know) the words,

they never performed Stairway To Heavenas a separate song again.

Unfortunately, we do not have a picture of the CD bootleg described here.

Though, most likely a cassette like the one you see here on the right is

the origin of the recording used for this CD production.
