I was just reading this interview where Blacky says that Voivod opening for Venom at the Ritz was their 25th show, so I figured I'd start building a list of Voivod's early gigs, starting from gig number 1 (6/25/83) to number 25 (4/5/86).
Any additional info/correction is welcome. Please note that dates are converted in your silly american notation standard (m/d/y)  1. 6/25/83* Jonquière, QC (Anachronism demo)
==========================================
11/9/83 Jonquière, QC (opening for Exciter)
11/11/83 Rimouski, QC (opening for Exciter)
1/29/84 Jonquière, QC
4/17/84* Montreal, QC
7/11/84* The Spectrum, Montreal, QC
12/21/84 Montreal, QC
12/22/84* Montreal, QC (Morgöth Invasion demo)
--/--/85 Salon de la jeunesse, Montreal, QC
4/29/85 Polyvalente St-Henry, Montreal, QC
--/--/85* Polyvalente, Jonquière, QC
--/--/85* Québec City, QC
--/--/85 High School(s) shows in Québec (7 dates)
11/30/85* WW3, Montreal, QC
2/7/86* location unknown (date unsure)
==========================================
25. 4/5/86* The Ritz I'm missing 5 or 6 to match the aforementioned 25. The * after dates indicates that a recording exists. Any help much welcome! Maybe from Blacky himself, especially about the 7 high-school shows.

well, I have 460+ records between 6/25/83 and 8/28/03... I have to add about 20 dates from the TOL US tour and I'm still missing a lot of dates for 90 and 95-99...
that would make at least 500+ from the beginning, if you do the math this is only about 25 shows a year but they have had more than a quiet period since 1991...
look below and read as follows:
year...played / recorded (possibly recorded)
83....5 / 2
84....5 / 3
85...13 / 3
86...43 / 20 (5)
87...51 / 24 (8)
88...32 / 11 (2)
89....2 / 1
90...30 / 15 (4)
91....2 / 1 (1)
92....3 / 2
93...42 / 11
94....9 / 4 (4)
95....9 / 3 (1)
96...39 / 28 (1)
97...15 / 9
98....8 / 5 (1)
99...45 / 10 (2)
00...29 / 2 (2)
01....1 / 1
02....5 / 2 (2)
03...61 / 11 years 83-89 and 01-03 are complete.
total played 459+
total recorded 167
total possibly recorded 33 (yet to unveil) -------------------- I hear the things you say but tell me...
what do you mean?

I'll probably hang on to my old Exodus and Slayer tours shirts, they will probably fit better when I get in the retirement home and eat mushy foods.
Nice ring to it, eh?
