Here is my first pass at a complete listing of all USA Nikwind dates.
I would greatly appreciate any confirmation(s) that list members could
make regarding actual dates and venues, as I understand that a number
of shows that were advertised did not take place (?).

What I suggest is this:  if you can confirm any info on this page
that has not already been confirmed (confirmed is marked with an "*"),
then please _privately_ Email me with a brief "Yeah, I know Nik played
at XXXXX on YY/YY/YY, because ...."  You don't need any length on
your input (unless you just feel like it ;-) ), but the facts are
what is certainly needed.  My Email addr is:

First Draft of Nik Turner USA Tour Dates
========================================
I have pulled the following selection of tour dates from different
sources (which are listed).  The shows that I have completely confirmed
as having taken place are marked with an "*" following the date.

I have confirmed some shows by people that I know who actually attended
these shows.  Others I confirm by the presence of live tapes circulating
that list a venue and date that matches this list.  Either method is
acceptable at this time (or any other method you can think of).

I would like any help with confirming that each and every show on this
list did indeed take place.  If any information is not completely correct,
or any shows actually took place on a different date or at a different
venue, then please contact me with such information.

     1995 USA Tour

for much of the 1995 tour; I will also be sending a copy of this list to
Jim for his input.  I expect that Jim will have much of this
info in his forthcoming tribute to Nik Turner.

Any item marked with a "?" means that the information has only
come from one source, whereas another source may not mention it at
all or will even strongly contradict it "???".


I will be happy to try to compile a longer list that includes the
European tour dates (say, since 1993?), if anyone wishes to contribute
more info.  Right now, not much for Europe from me except:

(one of the big festivals, Glastonbury or Reading 94 or 95?)

Feel free to take a quick minute to send me a one-line Email telling
me which shows that you may have attended, or that may have played
in your town.  Thanks for all help.
