19 Jul 2021 Added Greg Norton's 18 Jul 2021 guest appearance with the Posies at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle to the dates page. Also put up a performance stills page (from YouTube video captures) and a setlist page. Thanks to Andy Nystrom.

Maïshka for the flyer image and info.
29 Jun 2021 Put up a gig listing image for the 21 Mar 1982 Hüsker Dü show at Exit in Chicago and updated the 1982 poster index page. Added the gig to the dates page, as it was previously undocumented. (Note: The article misidentifies the club as "No Exit," a coffeehouse that featured folk and occasionally jazz acts, but the address given is for Exit, a punk venue that the Hüskers played on multiple occasions.) Thanks to Nikolai Kostin for the article.
29 Jun 2021 Put up a performance stills page for the 21 Feb 1986 Hüsker Dü show at Amelia's, Iowa City IA. Thanks to Nikolai Kostin for the show review (to be uploaded eventually) published in The Daily Iowan, from which the image was extracted.
28 Jun 2021 Determined from this archived review in The Courier-News (Bridgewater NJ) that the venue for the 25 Mar 1987 Hüsker Dü show at Rutgers University was at the Livingston Gym in Piscataway (not on the main campus in New Brunswick as originally assumed). Adjusted the venue link and put up a venue image page for the Livingston Gym (now renamed the Livingston Recreation Center). Thanks to Nikolai Kostin for the article link.
25 Jun 2021 Put up a performance stills page for the 22 Feb 1985 Hüsker Dü show at EMU Dining Room, University of Oregon, Eugene OR. Thanks to Chris Metzler for providing both the pointer to these Hank Trotter photos and some background info about them.
25 Jun 2021 Added six new images to the existing performance stills page for the 12 May 1985 Hüsker Dü show at the 9:30 Club in DC. Thanks to Ronan Chris Murphy. (For reasons unknown, this show had been listed as the "late" show on the performance dates page, but there was never a corresponding early show listed. The 9:30 Club did run all-ages shows from time to time, but investigation has failed to turn up any evidence of an early show on this date, so the "late" designation has been removed.)
25 Jun 2021 Put up a setlist for the 25 Apr 1987 Hüsker Dü show at Variety Arts Center in Los Angeles (based on a recording recently archived here). Also corrected the setlist and live video entry in the annotated discography for the 16 Apr 1983 Hüsker Dü gig at the West Side Club in Philadelphia, from which "Bricklayer" had been inadvertently omitted. Thanks to Nikolai Kostin for the info.
11 Jun 2021 Put up a performance stills page for the 01 Sep 2012 Grant Hart show at Record Bar in Kansas City.
11 Jun 2021 Added several more newspaper gig listings (and one print ad), some of which identified previously undetermined venues or revealed previously undocumented dates:
    25 Jun 1985, Hüsker Dü, The Brewery, Raleigh NC (makeup date for 14 May show pre-empted by London gig)
    25 Jun 1985, Hüsker Dü, The Brewery, Raleigh NC (alternate)
    30 Oct 1990, Bob Mould Band, Gaston Hall, Georgetown University, Washington DC (previously unidentified DC venue)
    20 Nov 1992, Sugar, University of Utah Union Ballroom, Salt Lake City UT (previously unidentified SLC venue)

30 May 2021 Added an entry to the annotated discography for the prospective Hüsker Dü Longhorn Tonight double album, which will reportedly feature a recording of their first Longhorn show in 1979, plus excerpts from other Longhorn gigs, to be released by MVD. Greg Norton alluded to this project in a recent podcast. Also added the listing to the summary discography.
29 May 2021 Added overdue updates to the annotated discography to account for the latest batch of Demon/Edsel releases related to the Bob Mould Distortion box set series: Put up temporary artwork pages and updated the summary discography.
28 May 2021 Added an entry to the annotated discography for the Hüsker Dü Live At Camden Palace boot 12" and its associated artwork, and added the listing to the summary discography.

Updated the Keystone (Palo Alto) venue info and venue image pages to account for the fact that The Edge was a renamed incarnation of Keystone.
