Heartland

I came across a load of old ticket stubs today which, together with hazy recollection, leads me to conclude that I've been to one hundred and twenty-five gigs since 1989.
Twenty-three of those were the Sisters and a further three were the Smurphs. Obsessed much, me?

Anyway that means 18.4 % of the gigs I've been to were Sisters' gigs.
I've been to an average of 1.0952 Sisters gigs a year since first seeing them (and I know which ones were 0.0952 of a gig), and a general average of 5.952 gigs a year.

Apparently on 12 February 2000, I went to see Ozric Tentacles, something I have no recollection of whatsoever!
Given the date and who I was hanging out with back then, I'm not terribly surprised.

Yes, I have been very bored this evening, and thought I'd share that boredom out!

well, I have been ceeping track, so here I go.
since 2001 I have seen 203 gigs (must have forgotten quite a few because the number must be higher)
and of those it was 11 times TSOM and one time the smurphs

I'd get competitive, but I know Andrew S can put us both well and truly in the shade.

I know, it does not matter what kind of number we come up with.

No unless we can find somebody who has seen Hawkwind with Lemmy.

I saw Hawkwind with Lemmy.







It was only 7-8 years ago

That's what I get for not being specific.

I did, of course, mean prior to his sacking in '75.

I did see Hawkwind on the Warrior tour but he'd been replaced by Paul Rudolph by then and Stacia had taken her knorks home too

Probably as well, 'cause that would be an embarrassment of riches for one man to have beheld.

I've 177 live performances in noted my Excel file, I won't bore you with the pivot table madness I took it into after that

12 Sisters gigs apparently, 5 times APTBS - that's the range toppers. I've less ticket stubs though as I usually see more than one artist at a festival

UFO with Schenker, Lights Out tour Glasgow Apollo

that is cheating. mine are individual concerts, if I have to count all artists .... lets say I would like to talk to you about that excell file

yeah, I mean Exel files, the boy ain't right!
