NOTE: Special thanks to A.C. for taking the time to help us compile this timeline. Thanks also to Sandy West for helping to verify dates and recording information. Obviously, we have not included every single concert and similar events because it would be next to impossible to track down all of that information. But this serves as a fairly detailed timeline of events of great portent in the band's history for the first 30 years. From here we will add some major events but to really keep up with the current flow, make sure to check out the official solo sites.
