NOTES: Bunnymen hero Lou Reed also played this festival, and his setlist included "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Sweet Jane" - songs which have turned up as covers on many a Bunnymen/McCulloch setlist. "Twist and Shout" is a cover of the Isley Brothers song (which is probably best known in its Beatles version).

I took as my starting point Steve Doughty's excellent and comprehensive Bunnymen Recordings site, and have filled in gaps using the Seven Seas Archive (which went back to January 1st, 1999 at the time I copied it all into text files), as well as the various other web pages and articles cited in my listings. This is still very much a work in progress. I have received a good deal of help from members of the Seven Seas and Bunnymen.com communities -- thank you all!
