Watch ‘Wake’—the final ‘First and Last and Always’ era Sisters of Mercy concert

The end of an Era

Right after guitarist Gary Marx had left The Sisters of Mercy mid-tour to form Ghost Dance with Anne Marie Hurst of Skeletal Family, the remaining trio of Andrew Eldritch, Wayne Hussey, and Craig Adams performed a farewell concert on June 18th, 1985, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The concert was Produced and directed by Mike Mansfield (also known for New Order at The Academy) with the video running at 57 minutes long (with the omission of a few songs such as the Rolling Stones’ ‘Gimme Shelter’). Warner Music passed on the release of the VHS due to budgetary concerns, so the film was released via Polygram instead.

Andrew Eldritch apparently was performing with a few cracked ribs, but whether his voice is pained from the injury is kind of hard to tell here. Regardless, this is one of the greatest Gothic Rock concerts of all time.

Tracklist:

  1. First And Last And Always
  2. Body And Soul
  3. Marian
  4. No Time To Cry
  5. Walk Away
  6. Possession
  7. Emma
  8. Amphetamine Logic
  9. A Rock And A Hard Place
  10. Floorshow
  11. Alice
  12. Fix
  13. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
