:: THE STORIES :: THE SHOWS :: CONTRIBUTORS :: |
HUGE thanks to Steve Koepke from The List, also known as www.foopee.com, an excellent Bay Area concert guide. He compiled this awesome slice o’ history! Here are shows that were advertised via the The List from 1993-1999, at the notorious Tom Guido’s Purple Onion. Seeing as there are shows that were on The List... and flyers that don’t match... what can I say? That’s the Purple Onion for you!
