                 From beyond the scenes of hopes and dreams
                      where things are really hot, it's
                           The Chicago Shows List
                                      
                         Shows of note as of 7/11/96

 CORRECTIONS & UPDATES
 ---------------------
 The Saturday show down at Channing-Murray w/the Invalids has been canceled
 because the Invalids broke up, and that Hi-Fives show is all different, too.
 
 Avail will not be at Fireside, but at Hemensway.
 
 A List reader informs me that the ELO II / Little River Band at Star Plaza
 show has been canceled, but I don't have confirmation.  Gosh, I hope not.
 
 Not only did the Seven Mary Three / Poe show get moved to the Vic, it
 changed to July 31st.
 
 Cibo Matto at Double Door on 7/17 is canceled.
 
 
 STEVE WYNN
 ----------
 Some of you noticed that Steve Wynn was listed at both Empty Bottle and
 Martyr's on the 18th.  Empty Bottle assures me that he will only be at
 Empty Bottle, but the Martyrs' print ad still lists him.  Phone first, kids.
 
 
 SMASHING PUMPKINS
 -----------------
 Yes, that's three dates for the Spumpkins at the Horizon in October.  Yes,
 I'll be sure to mention when I find out about tickets going on sale.
