This page is separated in two parts.
The first part lists all dates that we know of.
This part is largely (99%) due to the hard work of Richard Miles,
who spent hours and hours going through old The Age 'Weekender' gig guides
for Melbourne, as well as through the Herald Newspaper.
Some other dates are thanks to Hans (From The Archives) and Kim Beissel.
There still have been many more dates, especially outside Melbourne.
Note that The Boys Next Door had a Tuesday night residency at the
Tiger Lounge/Royal Oak Hotel in Richmond, Melbourne starting July 18, 1978.
The gigs in other Australian cities have not been researched yet!
Any volunteers? :-)
The second part lists only the dates of which some recording
is circulating, or for which the setlist is known.

There are only a few live tapes circulating, and consequently only a few setlists are known.
Comments: 19/08/77 is the famous Swinburne college gig, available
on several bootlegs. The setlist for 2/78 comes from the
Robert Brokenmouth book. 18/11/78 info comes from Clinton Walker's "Inner City
Sound" book. The B/78 concert, only partially documented, is from an
unknown date. I suspect that the song "Show Me A Sign" is the same
as "Whatever It Means" (that line appears prominently in the latter song).

Comments: The late 79 gigs of which the setlists are listed below

There is tape ciculating that is by some claimed to be from Boys Next Door, 9/2/1980,
Melbourne, Polaris Inn/Hearts and by some claimed to be from Birthday Party 10/12/80.
