    NOTES: "[My] Second gig was … Bunnymen, Lancaster Uni on the OCEAN RAIN tour. The Triffids supporting. I never knew people jumped at gigs and the feeling of being part of a crowd all jumping in time, and the way everyone helped each other up when they fell and stuff was a great sense of belonging ... life changin'!" -

    I took as my starting point Steve Doughty's excellent and comprehensive Bunnymen Recordings site, and have filled in gaps using the Seven Seas Archive (which went back to January 1st, 1999 at the time I copied it all into text files), as well as the various other web pages and articles cited in my listings. This is still very much a work in progress. I have received a good deal of help from members of the Seven Seas and Bunnymen.com communities -- thank you all!
