Sat, 25-Jun-1983
Sheffield University, Sheffield, England
Part of The Sisters of Mercy's Spring Tour of the UK in 1983. This event was organised by the British Students' Union Entertainments Committees as a free end-of-term event.
Other acts on this evening were Matt Fretton, Time U.K. and Ruby Turner (headliner)
Everything about the proceedings of that day and the circumstances of this free concert has been captured by the lovely blog I Was A Teenage Sisters of Mercy Fan under the entry Sisters for free - part deux and in even further more detail with a lot of additional information and stuff
under TSOM at the Free Concert, The University of Sheffield, Saturday 25th June 1983.
According to our list, a Live Bootleg CD of this show does exist, but we have not yet found any real proof for it. There is however an audience recording converted into data from cassette in circulation among the fanbase.
Thanks to endemoniada, the entire concert - except the encore Body Electric - is available for a listen in individual still videos @YouTube... and here...
