"Christian Vander On Tour" is intended for those 'trainspotters' who are curious about when and where Christian Vander has performed. The following list is undoubtedly full of mistakes and omissions, but perhaps you "cher lecteur" can correct some of those for us? However, it may be of use to you to know if an official or "unofficial" recording of a show was made, so we have devised a simple legend. No attempt has been made to grade these recordings, since obviously only a few people could have a master tape for each concert, but the world wide network of such collectors could possess anything from a 1st generation copy to a 10th generation one. Neither is it a complete list. Obviously we only know about the recordings that are in general circulation. "New" recordings are constantly appearing
Please contact Ork Alarm! if you have any information that could be useful for future updates. Photographs probably exist for every concert. It would be great to set up a photographic concert history to compliment "CHRISTIAN VANDER ON TOUR". We would be delighted to publish them with your permission.
