Here’s an enthralling and fairly complete (although potentially inaccurate) list of the bands that I’ve seen live and when and where I saw them. It doesn’t include cameos/one or two songs as part of a big show, only gigs, festivals and the odd Edinburgh show.
The inclusion of a band here should not be interpreted as a condonement of their music. Definitely not.
