Mallemunt Festival Poster by Belgian Illustrator Ever Meulen

Tour Logo

Mallemunt Festival, Muntplein, Brussels, Belgium

NOTE:
There has been quite some confusion for decades over the correct date
of this performance:

According to The Sisters of Mercy's Official Gigography, this was the starting

gig of the Trans-Europe Excess Tour in 1983.

The Official Gigography and other sources detail, however, the 24th of August 1983

as the date of this gig.

The information about the live compilation bootleg The Acid Rain mentions

the same date, while its back cover merely states Brussels 8-83.

Another live bootleg titled Razorblades gives the 5th of August 1983 for the show.

Pictures from the concert can be viewed at: New Wave Photos by Philippe Carly.

These pictures as well are marked as of August 5, 1983.

Anyway, the festival poster here on the left, which was done by Belgian Illustrator Ever Meulen,
notes 28 Juli to 12 August as the festival period.

In addition, there is - eventually - the still video down on the right side which shows an announcement
of The Sisters of Mercy's concert during the festival and features a great recording of Anaconda.

This concert was recorded from the audience and is in circulation among the fanbase.
