Being the season of goodwill and all that, which recording would people prefer to be able to get their mitts on ?
Whichever gig is voted the most popular will be put up on my webspace for people to download for a limited period - the URL will be posted as soon as the poll is closed (Monday 29th December).
Gotta be the Mondays at the NEC, the first band I ever saw LIVE!!!
I'd love this gig Timbo;)
None of em of particular interest.
I have the Mondays at The Free Trade Hall, 18th Nov 1989 on dvd, if anyone is interested.
I can copy for price of a blank dvd and postage
Seasons Greetingzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nothing to do with this thread Mike, but can you stick with that avatar for a while?
Nice...... very, very, VERY nice! 
I went for the Sisters of Mercy gig... they were really ON during the Italian leg of their 1985 tour. I have recordings of May 2 and May 4, and they are both fantastic!!
Anyway, I hope y'all had a great Christmastime.
Beloved 85! even though i know it won´t win :(
i love this band and i´ve always been curious to listen how they used to sound before Hapiness. well, if you ever decide to upload it let me know, tim 
I'm going with the mondays...simply cuz I ain't got any of their stuff live...and I'd like to see what it was like!!!
Hard decision. I already have the Smiths live and a Happy Mondays live and Fall as well. So I voted for Echo. Second pick would be Mondays.
I voted for the Bunnymen because I'm still on a Bunnymen mood, after watching their gig last month. Though the Mondays concert would be nice as well.
I haven't got any of them so any one will do me. However, I've always had a soft spot for Ian McCulloch 
so Echo gets the vote
Not that I want to sway anyone's judgement, but.....
The Smiths gig is widely available on bootlegs, and is nothing special, an average gig from an average live band.
The Mondays set was basically little more than a soundcheck for the first ten minutes, as the volumes were terrible at the gig (they hadn't soundchecked) - it's the worst quality of all of the recordings.
The Bunnymen set is fabulous - includes an orchestra and a version of Lou Reed's "Heroin".
The Sisters set is a band on top form, includes some quality Eldritch quips.
The House of Love gig is low-key and very rare.
The Inspirals set is ok, nothing more.
The Fall show was a better gig to be there than to listen to.
The Beloved set is only interesting because they were supporting the Order.
For me, it was basically a tie between the Fall and the Bunnymen, and went for the latter, due to the fact that I've seen a lot of fond remembrances of for the Royal Albert Hall show in a few places, wasn't the version of Do It Clean that showed up on that US EP of Never Stop from that show?
She did a film in 2002 with Jean Reno, called Jet Lag, and is currently working on a film with Samuel Jackson.
She also popping round my house later
Mike
Why is she popping round to your house later, are you directing her next film, because if your not S Jackson will kick your head in, know what i mean? mate.
Just checked out your member profile, i must say that is a brilliant photo of juliette you have my good man.

I don't care - I still want it.
Nudge Nudge, wink wink, say no more:D
Bunnymen for me too. The Smiths gig is indeed a bit of a disappointing one - I was tempted by The Fall though...
Well, the poll is now over, and guess what, I've decided to completely ignore the results. All eight will be put up for your delectation, one per week.
Check back here later today to find out which gig has gone up first (and where it can be found).
And check back tomorrow to see who has burned the first offering onto CD-R (no postmiddlemen to bother with) and is hocking their rarity on ebay...

I shan't give a toss about that - none of these are New Order gigs for that very reason.
i would have gone with the HOL one, enjoyed them live - still remmeber the hairs on the back of my neck the 1st time i heard christine; wasnt that impressed with the mondays to be honest when saw them at the nec, though that may have been more due to unfimiliarity (& maybe the lack of bez) with the material, only having heard 24hpp, kuff dam & a couple of other tracks at the time.
but i cant download stuff as have slow connection & no disc space so doesnt really matter anyway.
