So far I've managed to put up venue image pages for Playmakers/House of Rock (Fargo ND) and the Jeschke Fine Arts Center (University of Sioux Falls SD). Plenty of live performance shots to sort through too (along with other interesting stuff).
25 Aug 2007 While sorting through old correspondence recently I identified a bunch of people who at one time or another provided useful information that's been incorporated into the database, but who never received credit because their contributions predated the website's existence.

   16 Aug, House of Rock, Fargo ND (G-Fest)
   18 Aug, Louise's Downtown, Lawrence KS ( North vs. South Music Festival)
Found a lousy image of the House of Rock (which is just a subspace of Playmakers; I have to look around and see if I have a better photo someplace), and flyer images for both shows. Added the new info and links to the dates page and updated the 2007 flyer index page.
02 Aug 2007 Stumbled, during the course of a routine image-google, across a flyer image for the 24 Jun 1984 Newton Theatre (Washington DC) Hüsker gig. Also dug up a better (or at least unique) flyer image for the 10 Aug 2003 Higher Ground (Winooski VT) Mould gig (saved from an old eBay listing).

17 Jul 2007 Argh! I'm an imbecile. I really should have listened to the recording of that Watt show with Grant on piano (14 Dec 2005, 1st Ave) before blindly deciding that "Freight Train" was the Libba Cotten song. Sorry, it's the 1987 one by Sister Double Happiness, which Kraig Johnson has apparently sort of adopted. Fixed the songs covered page.

14 Jul 2007 Put up gig photo and setlist pages for Bob's 12 Jul 2007 gig at the Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn MI) and added their links to the dates page. Looks as if Bob either debuted a couple of new songs — "Find A Way Out" and "City Lights" — or at least divulged their titles, which were added to the Hüsker Dü song titles page. Thanks to Jeremy Frey.
14 Jul 2007 Added "Chout" to the acknowledgments list as credit for uploading much of the YouTube video recently embedded on various pages of the annotated discography.

04 Jun 2007 Added another poor-quality Hüsker flyer image, lifted from an eBay listing: 12 Mar 1987 Phantasy Theater Lakewood (Cleveland) OH. Updated the dates page and the 1987 poster index page.
28 May 2007 Added Robert Palmer's cover of "New Day Rising" to the Hüsker Dü Covers & Tributes page and updated the Hüsker covers cross-reference page. Put up an artwork page for the Superstar Concert Series radio show 3x12" LP on which a disappointingly brief version of the song appears.
26 May 2007 Added Grant's gig tonight at the Terminal Bar in Minneapolis to the dates page and linked to a venue photo. Thanks to James Lindbloom.
25 May 2007 Sad news, learned two years after the fact: Omaha's beloved Ranch Bowl is no more, having shut down in April 2005. Put up a brief venue description page to replace what's left of the former official site and linked it to the dates page.
25 May 2007 A minor point, perhaps, but correspondent Matt Westfield confirms that Hüsker Dü did in fact play at the Brown University gym in May 1985, but casts doubt on the purported Living Room date at that time. Tweaked the dates page accordingly.
25 May 2007 Gary Goldfinch has resurrected his excellent Hüsker Dü site, long a favorite. Added the link to the Hüsker Dü links page.

03 Apr 2007 Put up a flyer image for the 21-22 Apr 2007 NYC Gang Font gigs; created a 2007 flyer index page (who would have guessed that the first flyer image of 2007 would be for a Greg show?) and added the link to the dates page.

Also linked the various "Clownmaster" entries (the US If I Can't Change Your Mind and Besides) to the John Wayne Gacy Wikipedia page, and the "MTC" entry ( Land Speed Record) to the Metro Transit home page.

Monroe for the info and image of the ticket stub for the show. (One of these days maybe I'll throw together a ticket-stub collage.)
03 Mar 2007 Added Richmond Fontaine's cover of "Pink Turns To Blue" to the Hüsker Dü Covers & Tributes page and updated the Hüsker covers cross-reference page. Put up an artwork page for the Obliteration By Time CD, on which the song appears. Blame the recent spate of cover song additions on the iTunes Music Store, an insidiously useful resource.
