I thought it might be a good idea to look back over the Brixton Ace gigs of 1983 so that @Being isn't left in the Wiki with any of the false dates which have been circulating. She does an amazing job because the site is so enormous, and she has tried to find as much information and as many possible gig dates as possible, but unfortunately there are have been many fake gig dates doing the rounds for years. So to help her with the incredible job she has done (without her the Wiki gigography would be empty) ...
Why are there so many wrong gig dates ? Well, there are several reasons. On some 'live' audio cassettes and videos, just the location of the gig is given, but not the date. So people put down what they think the date must have been and others then accept that this must be true. Others want to have the biggest live audio list possible, and put down fake dates and swap these tapes for genuine rarities, allowing other fake dates to be constantly repeated everywhere.
So this is what I have in my collection for the Brixton Ace in 1983, but I think that it's possible that there are other gig dates and/or audio and video recordings of the gigs I have listed here which I haven't yet managed to track down.
To help to identify the different versions I've included short snippets of each recording, indicating where exactly it's from - bits where people are talking, making noise etc which will make them easy to identify.
If anyone knows of any other Brixton gigs, or has other recordings of the gigs I have listed, I would love to hear from them.
