I have a passion sweet Lord... and it just won't go away www.spacemen3.co.uk | main | misc |spacemen 3 gigs |
After a discusion on the sp mailing list, a few of us tried to put out knowledge together and produce a list of Spacemen 3 gigs. This is the best we can do for now. Please send any additions or corrections to dronemaster@spacemen3.co.uk. If you can give a source for any info, that would be really helpful.

Is
this Revolution Or Heroin? Christopher E Rose’s List says 1/8/1986, and M’s list says that was sometime in
August 1986, but that’s far too early to be playing Revolution. |

Well,
it’s not impossible, but I have my doubts. The rest of the European
dates are so close together, why go over one week early for one date? And
why not mention it in the pre-publicity material? |
