20th Century Gigs

When I started going to gigs it, simply, never occurred to me that I would actually need to, or want to, revisit the events some 30 years down the line. Going to gigs was just part of what I did with my mates and we went, had a good time (give or take the odd Def Leppard, or KISS, concert), bought a T-shirt and Programme, then went home and played the relevant album at ear-splitting volume, much to the indescribable joy of our parental units.

So, when I decided to try and actually put some content to these older gigs, I realised that, whilst I remembered the experience quite clearly in each case, the detail was a little lacking; well, it was a long time ago. Back in 1998 when I first started my website, the Internet just did not have that much available, useful information (believe it or not). Today, however, I have been able to scour cyberspace for setlists and have been fairly successful. In some cases, I could find an actual setlist for specific gigs I attended. For others, they are PBSWR (Played Before Setlists Were Recorded). I have assembled setlists that reflect the material that the bands were playing around that time. Take a trip down memory lane and revisit the days of your callow youth...
