Probably the best way to start this, as it is the definitive list of gigs that I have attended. I’ll add hyperlinks to detailed posts as and when I get them up. As you might be aware, it’s a very long, slow process involving me wracking my brain and hunting down old images and information on the internet, so please bear with me. And… I’ve lost all of my tickets up to the Yes gig of 1998, so any that you see on the posts prior to that date are not mine: I found them online.
You’ll also note that there are a few others which I haven’t managed to pin down just yet; if you can help, please get in touch. 👍
