Getting there with my gigography now, the list of every gig I remember going to, from 1987 up to about now.
It's a natural step from my Best Gigs Ever post.
Well that's the theory, so there's A LOT missing.
I have chucked in details from the big bag of old gig tickets that I gathered while I was in London, + a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum and Dad's loft.
Also got lots of gaps regarding festival lineups, they'll prob'ly stay missing, it's so hard to remember. There's a stack missing where I've lost tickets or never had them, most of the guestlist actions during my NME and Popex years and that.
Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
Probably I've not started scanning the tickets in yet Of course I have scanned the tickets now[^But I've lost the bag of tickets before I scanned them all in!]...

I was definitely at this gig^Removed old gorillaz-unofficial.com/gigography/fabric_1.htm link here.], but I was definitely at that [David Devant gig too, perhaps one of the dates is wrong, or maybe the times worked out...
