Tour Blurbs:
Early Godflesh dates (1989-1990) had Paul playing guitars, but not always during every song. Typically, the band would play half a set and then Paul would come out and play the tracks from Streetcleaner that he played on. This included Streetcleaner, Mighty Trust Krusher, Life is Easy and Locust Furnace: The encore generally would be Pulp, even though Paul doesn't play on the album version of that song.
I haven't been able to verify this, but Mick Harris may have played live drums for the band some time in the early 90's.
In 1992, Godflesh toured the US with Skinny Puppy. Unfortunately, they encountered problems entering the US due to customs problems. In July of 1992, Godflesh made up 6 dates that they missed. Currently, I have 3 of those dates listed, but I am unsure as to when the original Skinny Puppy tour was.
Dates in June of 1996 may have been the first to feature drummer Brian (brain) Mantia. He appeared on the SoLaH record which came out 2 months later. I have read though that he may have played with them some time during the Selfless tour as well.
The Nov/Dec 1996 US tour saw Ted Parsons playing drums for the band.
The summer 1999 tour featured Dermot Dalton (Cable Regime, Final, Line, Saskwatch, Solaris BC) on samples, tapes and moog. Steve Hough (Cable Regime, Line, Torque) played guitar with the band live. Later, during the November European tour, Ted Parsons and Dermot Dalton joined them, but Steve Hough did not.
Notes:
This is by far an incomplete chronicle of all live Godflesh tour dates throughout the years. Some information here may be incorrect. If you know of any dates not listed here, or of any inaccuracies, please let me know.
All the reviews and setlists before 1996 are courtesy of Andreas Vondran who saw the band dozens of times in the early/mid 90's. Thanks once again!
Any recording follwed by an asterisk is not verified. One person had sent me their listing of Godflesh bootlegs and the asterisked dates were listed. I've never been able to most of their existence, though certain ones seem valid.
The Nov/Dec 1994 tour dates were found here
Finally, this is a completely worthless section. My friend Doug calls me obsessive. Perhaps he is right!
