Our 25 year old daughter is named after this brilliant song

I remember dancing to this in our local punk club, back in the 80s. Used to take me over two hours to get ready for the night. Hard rock hairspray on my long black crimped and back combed hair, purple lippy, heavy black eyeliner/eyeshadow, black painted fingernails and a lace outfit I knocked up on the sewing machine. Aah those were the days. 😍🤩Xx

​@@nicolejttmom6061 how did the meeting go ?

I had the VHS of this back in the 90s and used to wait until my parents went to bed, light a doob, relax with the Sisters of Mercy. This track always stood out to me, especially that scream at the end.

Great bass line

My teenage dream CAME true as I gave the lighter to Andrews cigarette in 1989 in Berlin. After that I saw Sisters 3 more times and it was always really stunning!

Every time I work at Leeds or Wakefield, the first name I mention is the Sisters !! Even after 30 years. This band will be iconic in 200 years !

I was at this gig. This was, in my opinion the height of their career.

I think that they were better with Gary Marx who had left prior to this show, but I agree that the "First, Last, and Always" rendition of Sisters was their peak. Boy do I envy you getting to see this gig.

I'd say the Gary Marx years were when they wrote their best stuff and he was arguably a better guitarist than Hussey.

Hussey, Adams and Eldritch - love those witchfinder hats and Hussey's black poncho, goth as fuck. Love this live version, such a good rendition. Classic Sisters line-up, the best IMO.

Goths didn't exist in 1985. They weren't "goth"

This track reminds me, I need to return some video tapes

My favourite Sisters song. I still remember the excitement of dancing to this the first time I went to a goth club in the ‘80s. This Wake concert is amazing, especially when you realise they were a 4 piece until immediately before this performance, so Wayne and Craig had to carry the whole gig at the last minute. If there was one gig I could’ve been at in my entire life, it was this one. Unfortunately I was 16, poor and on the other side of the world. Sisters changed my life.

Pure 80s Brit Goth-Rock Anthem, ladies and gentlemen. Refuse imitations, fakes or mediocrity.

A melhor versão de Alice. Vi os caras ao vivo duas vezes. Sensacional !!! Tenho muita saudades dos anos 80.

When Craig hits those ringing, solitary low bass notes in the break between the verses………goddam that awesome!

1980-1985. Meilleure période de Sisters of mercy. Marian, Alice, et bien d'autres. J'avais la K7 vidéo de ce concert, acheté dans les années 80, jamais sortie en dvd, je crois. Le sister of merci des années 90, et après, j'aime beaucoup moins, voir pas du tout.

Gothic legends awesome band look at who they have influenced

The King of Goth!

Highest moment of their live shows. Few could guess this was nearly the end.

Best Version ! ♥️ Cryptic Flowers

Danced to death thanks to The Sisters..Love always..x

beautiful concert

Un single oscuro, tétrico y con ese toque de buen rock, sin duda que Alice es un single que ha quedado para la posteridad... Eternamente The Sister of Mercy... Saludos desde Lima, Perú.

Splendidi!

Época underground muito boa!!!!!!😎

simply beautiful!

Simplesmente alucinante Sirters of Mercy é a Banda ÚNICA dos anos 80 nenhuma outra banda se compara a essa é ENSURDECEDOR A 😎

Super groupe

Whenever I watch videos from this concert, or Bauhaus live, and of course Joy Division, I always think of something Malcolm McLaren once said. He thought it was part of the nature of English (or was it British?) bands to "take a story and step out with it." So many British bands I've watched over the years could create such compelling drama when playing live. Images you never, ever forget. I'm trying to think of some American bands that could do this. I'm not talking about rock bombast, but visually stunning drama. Maybe Suicide? The Cars? Some of the live Stooges tapes I've seen fit the bill.

Interesting , the words of their music has more meaning now. Its very difficult for bands to create an overall feeling of society today, as there are too many restrictions. There was something mystic yet magical about dancing to Goth in the 80s that cannot be captured these days. I do think bands are more cautious and restricted these days which is sad .

and Andrew Eldritch CLAIMS he was "never Goth" and the band "Is not a Goth Band" LOL *smh* this performance of Alice sure seems to help show many of their songs and performances were pretty "gothy" back in the early 80's to '85 . . . .

I prefer Marianne ...

A classic case of right time, right place. If Eldritch was to recreate his persona in the frozen isle of Morrisons, Id chastise him for opening all the doors, just to recreate his cold and lonely atmosphere. It's not all about you mate, there's a cost of living crisis going on.
