Complete Devin Live History

I'm a massive fan of Smashing Pumpkins, and their fan community is one of the most active and rabid I've ever seen (they are NOwhere near as fun or funny as Dev fans though!)

Anyway, one of the sites I use to get information on the band's history is this one - www.spfc.org - which has a VERY detailed section containing setlists for just about every live show the band has ever performed, guest artists at the gigs, etc, and yet ANOTHER section detailing every bit of information available for recording sessions. There's also a very comprehensive discography containing pressing information about every offical release and known unofficial release, down to the serial numbers on each release.

I was wondering if anything like this exists for Devin and his related projects, and if such a thing would even be possible if it doesn't exist already.

Does anyone know?

Well, there is setlist.fm of course. Wonderful site!

Our Live Reviews section tries to document things like this, but most of it is dependent on whether someone from these forums was there and wants to write about it (and still has a clear memory of the gig). I'm in the process of making it slightly easier to navigate that section, but real life keeps dragging me off. That said, it's barely a comparison for the archive on the site you linked to.

That section also wasn't around in the pre-DTP era, so its contents are limited. If you're looking for detailed stuff from the 90's era I wouldn't know if records of all of Dev's gigs even exist. Perhaps in time we can start going further back and build a more comprehensive Devin-live database, but for now I should focus on the mess that is the present. :P

Thanks, I wasn't confident it was actually possible, but it's a nice dream! The amount of stuff we do have is great =D
