Leeds Town & Country Club (now o2academy Leeds)


"Off The Street", Town And Country Club, Leeds, UK

This was a benefit event for the Homeless Off The Street Fund where Andrew Eldritch appeared as a guest

singer with the Utah Saints. A good way into their set, he entered the stage and joined the Utah Saints

for their song "New Gold Dream", after which they did Gimme Shelter together.

Later in the year, a Thank You CD and LP was published including songs from all participating acts and

other bands, who supported the cause. The Sisters' contribution to this release was, however, not the

Eldritch live performance of New Gold Dream and Gimme Shelter with the Utah Saints, but the tracks

Sandstorm / Untitled, most likely the version from The Sisters' Dominion CD-single.

T-shirts for the benefit event were also sold at the gig, featuring the names of the participating bands,

see the pictures down below, underneath which you can also find a few photos of Eldritch's appearance

with the Utah Saints as well as some further pictures featuring Cud, The Mission and a few backstage

scenes.

The bands who according to the announcements participated directly in the event and played on this day

were the Utah Saints with Andrew Eldritch joining them, Cud, The Mission, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry,

Ringos High and La Costa Rasa plus DJ David Batty.


The Utah Saints' performance (and probably more of this event) was recorded from the audience. The quality of these recordings seems debatable, though.
