Getting there with my gig history now, the list of all the gigs 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 + 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 this stuff.
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!]...

Saw on our first day of our first Edinburgh Fringe + it gave us a taste of loads of acts. We would go + see Fascinating Aida again on the strength of their performance here, just managed to get return tickets a day or two later.Also saw Alan Davies at this same venue on the same day!…
