Getting there with my gig history 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, but 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 + things from Mum and Dad's loft.
Also got lots of gaps regarding festival lineups, they'll probably 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 enjoying remembering these things.
At least 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!]...

Their annual christmas outing, with Shane McGowan + everything…
plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went + did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really.…
Something involving Frankie Machine anyway, + prob'ly MJ Hibbett as I wrote about it... Aha found it here too it is actually MJ Hibbett at the 12 Bar Club.…
Free show! Plus Jon The White Rapper "and guests", so don't remember who.…
James Marsters' band out of Buffy The Vampire Slayer... ooh, a stinker! I think he even knows the band are not good so everyone's enjoying.…
Charity gig that Channelfly were running. All staff went into a draw for tickets. I think I might have legitimately won the Darkness tickets (the following day) and was last minute allowed in to The Cure (previous day) so this day friend John won these and I went with him. Terrible photo below.…
Amazing, we got in to the Barfly, read my Cure review.…
I've got a tiny bit of video footage of this one somewhere.…
