                            The Chicago Shows List
          The only weapons here / Are our mouth, mind, eyes and ears
                         Shows of note as of 02/17/95

 NOTES
     This is a slightly amended version of the Shows List.  I made a few
     corrections in band order and spelling.  The two Tower in-store
     appearances are indeed performances, so all you Lisa Germano fans can
     be hap-hap-happy.  Oh, and I included some Coronet dates that I missed,
     including They Might Be Giants.
 
     Oh, and in case anyone missed it, Avalon closed.
