number of gigs?

How close of a figure is there to the number of gigs which the Sisters have performed? Sure, include Speed Kings and similar practice gigs. Even count Sabina's living room.
Granted, some gigs are in doubt, but how many are confirmed, and how many are probable?
No snide comments about how many more to expect is necessary or even requested.

What about, how many good gigs?

Well, there are 396 gigs listed on the
official gigography so that's a decent ballpark figure to start at...
And no, before anyone accuses me of being sad, I didn't count them, a handy copy-and-paste into a spreadsheet and look at the row number of the last one.

How did the term ballpark figure originate? It sounds like a US phrase.

Less sad than going down the list, "one, two, three, .... three hundred and ninety four, three hundred and ninety five, three hundred and ninety six."?
Jeez, I'm only trying to help out Martin with his question, what's wrong with that?

I make it 1981-1985: 204 gigs
1990-2003: 218 gigs
A grand total of 422.

My ballpark figure was less than 1% out then.

Thanks, Dan.
I assume that your tally comes from
1) the gigs listed at the official site
2) the ones mentioned in this thread
http://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4771, and
3) the December 1993 ones which are not on the offical site.
Did you include any others?

Yes

Yes, except the cancelled ones (obviously) and one or two of the unconfirmed ones which I think seem unlikely.

Yes.

The Utah Saints thing. Not strictly a Sisters gig but Andrew Eldritch
IS the Sisters Of Mercy.
