GWAR @ Rock City (1992)
Got the details from a full page advert in the Melody Maker, the image is cut down as it showed all the gigs for the entire month. Rock City seems like a good venue.

Bongwater @ Camden Underworld (1991)
Looking through piles of the old music press for scrapbook cuttings I am happy to say there were very few special gigs that escaped my roving eye, this alas was one gig that I somehow missed. Looks like you could not buy advance tickets, but that was quite common at the time.
Probably missed through pressures of work as I would certainly have noted this one as a 'must see', Bongwater were very special on LP.

Can somebody who attended the gig please confirm the date since the advert lists it as Sunday 23rd.

The One @ The Astoria (1994)
The One, here, was Peter Perrett's band. Headless Chickens were probably not Thom Yorke's earlier band, just in case anybody asks, well maybe they were but Thom had left by then ;)
Checking other gigs I see that there was another band 'The One' who played in 1975, and a band just called 'One' or '1' who played gigs around 1989 in London and featured Steve Hovington from B-Movie. Confusing.

Pere Ubu @ Royal Festival Hall (2000)
Spotted an advert for this in an old NME and was quite surprised to see 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) played support. Advert under "Outro" banner.

Live Music
New York Dolls @ Malcolm's Club (1972)
Apparently one of the first UK dates for the band, they were in the UK recording demos - this predates any proper record releases, and although they were well established in New York the band hadn't really stepped out of their home town.
They did some bigger dates in London and around, and a UK tour was meant to include support slots for Lou Reed but I don't know if that happened. So the Dolls were big in NY and in Hull.

Buxton Festival @ Booth Farm (1974)
New York Dolls were billed but might not have played.

New York Dolls played this gig, apparently Mick Jagger came to watch, and then band played another gig in the late evening at the Mile End Sundown.

Roxy Music @ Hardrock (1972)
New York Dolls did not play, they had to cancel because Billy Murcia had died just days earlier.

The Slits @ Electric Circus (1977)
Just added this event so that I could add a link to The Worst site and to tie in this documentary which is about the Manchester scene and has footage of The Electric Circus (mainly Vibrators playing)

Sex Pistols @ Lesser Free Trade Hall (1976)
Info from David Nolan's great book of quotes which tells the story "I Swear I Was There".
I wasn't there but I know that in 1976 spending 50p was worth nearly 2 pints, or at least a pint and a half.

La Femme @ O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire (2016)
The support band were called 'Loose Meat' and sounded like they'd been studious pupils of terrible TV show Rockschool

The Merseybeats @ Cavern Club (1964)
Suspect that The Merseybeats may have been there to draw an audience.
Pathe News was there, some great footage of the original Cavern Club, NEMS record shop, Liverpool...
[YouTube Video]
In the footage I think they say the other bands are The Codells, The Drovers, and The Jynx.

The Animals @ Tiles Club (1966)
July 2012, a last look at where Tiles was before it got demolished to build a railway for the very rich. (note the URL is likely to change)

The Animals @ Tiles Club (1966)
Tiles nightclub opened on Monday 28 February 1966, note also that the address is also listed "and 1 Dean Street", the venue was apparently called Beat City before it opened as Tiles.
Pathe News was there, note the fake street below ground for late night shopping:

Incredible String Band @ Middle Earth (1967)
Added the event so that I could add Middle Earth, but it seems like those hippies didn't get the postcode right, Royal Mail's postcode finder puts it as WC2E 8JS.
Middle Earth supposed to have been in a sprawling basement which you got to down a fire escape.

New Electrics @ The Camden Falcon (1999)
Quite a fab night, New Electrics did some great gigs in their day and Drop Bears were one of those rare bands where the drummer was the lead singer - and pretty good too as far as I remember.
