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.
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!]...

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) + was last minute allowed in to The Cure (previous day) so this day friend John won these + I went with him. Terrible photo below.…
