I apologize if this has already been covered, but I’m new to the board and figured this is the best place to ask!

I’m trying to determine the “complete” list of available early demos and live club days recordings. The vhboots.com website is fantastic, but there are so many duplicates and known mislabeling of dates that is gets confusing. I’m not sure if someone has already “done the homework” on this, so I gave it my best shot!

For early demos, it seems to me that “The Demography” has everything. Is this correct?

For the live club days, I think the list is something like:
* 1974-1975 – The Gazzari’s songs (the Gazzari’s Dance Contest disc)
* Early 1975 – The “high school” recordings (the School’s Out disc)
* 6/13/75 – Pasadena Hilton
* 5/9/76 – Goldenwest Ballroom (maybe some tracks on the Goldenwest Ballroom Deluxe disc are from 5/27/76?)
* 5/29/76 – Pasadena Convention Center
* 5/30/76 – Pasadena Community College (from the Eyes Of The Night disc)
* 6/1/76 – Starwood
* 6/12/76 – either the Starwood or Gazzari’s (from the Slummin’ It disc)
* 6/29/76 – Starwood
* 6/30/76 – Starwood
* 9/18/76 – Aero’s Bogart
* 1/18/77 – Starwood
* 6/10/77 – Whiskey
* 10/?/77 – Magic Mountain
* 10/15/77 – Pasadena Civic Center
* 12/31/77 – Whiskey
* 2/8/78 – Pasadena Civic
* 2/25/78 – Whiskey

Does that about cover it? Anything obvious I’m missing?

I appreciate the help…trying to fill in the blanks in my collection and the “Club Days” portion of the timeline has always confused me a bit!

I’ll try to help with the live stuff.

2/75 and 4/75 – Pasadena HS (Schools Out)
4/25/75 – Pasadena HS (1 song just released by Greg)
6/13/75 – Pasadena Hilton
12/75 – John Muir HS
1975-76 – Gazzaris (Gazzaris Dance Contest)
1976 – Gazzaris (2 songs just released by Greg)
1976 – Goldenwest Ballroom (Man On The Silver Mtn released by Jeff)
@4/76 – Goldenwest Ballroom (Club Days 2)
5/29/76 – Pasadena Convention Center
9/18/76 – Aeros Bogarts
11/19/76 – Pasadena Civic (ADAAOTN-could be from a later date and different venue)
1/18/77 – Starwood (6/29/76 is the wrong date)
1/19/77 – Starwood (6/30/76 is the wrong date)
2/18/77 – Pasadena Civic (1/18/77 is the wrong date)
3/13/77 – Goldenwest Ballroom (could be 2/10/77-Club Days 1)
6/10/77 – Whisky
8/1/77 – Magic Mountain
@8/20/77 – Whisky (2/25/78 is the wrong date)
@9/17/77 – Whisky (2/25/78 is the wrong date)
10/15/77 – Pasadena Civic (Nightmare)
12/31/77 – Whisky

Obviously there’s more that hasn’t been released widely so we’ll hopefully hear more once Greg’s book is officially released. Hope that helps.

This is going to be a long post but I’ve tried to specify not only dates and locations but also the songs that were played. Of course far (infact VERY far…) from being complete or perfect but maybe we could use this list as a starting point in order to have a correct list at the end?

Thanks a lot guys…very helpful! Looks like I have almost all of it with the stuff I thought was “missing” most likely being duplicates.

I forgot to add the songs Greg has been sharing….excellent stuff!

jorge: Of course far (infact VERY far…) from being complete or perfect but maybe we could use this list as a starting point in order to have a correct list at the end?

Thank you Jorge for the comprehensive list. Just so you know, we have talked about many of these over the years. The problem is that the conversations haven’t been compiled in one place and we lost almost all of them with the server change. The fact is that many of those dates that you posted are not accurate. I tried to provide a summary of what has been discussed on and off the board. I did do it quickly last night, but the important stuff is there. You might want to consider using what I posted as a starting point. Also, check out Greg’s book for more info.
