See links to articles below this photo. This vertical Black & White photo shows Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy singing on stage at Danceteria on April 13, 1984. He wears a black leather jacket, leather pants, gloves, and boots, and holds the microphone to his mouth while standing in thick stage fog beside a microphone stand. A small group of punk fans, one with a mohawk and one with short blonde hair, look up at him from the lower left edge of the stage. Stage lights hang at the top right, and part of another performer is visible at the right edge. A credit reading Photo & Copyright © by Fred Berger runs vertically along the lower right edge.
