A guest for The Sisters of Mercy at Sonisphere 2014 festival, Knebworth on Fri, 04 Jul 2014
Too much smoke, could hardly see the stage! Awesome performance and coming straight after Iron Maiden, and having been blown away by them, it shows how good SoM performance was. Absolutely not disappointing.!
