This list is an attempt to build an ultimate reference of all public performances of Nico. However, I won't be able to do this all by myself.
It has been estimated by some that Nico performed over 1,200 concerts between
1980 and 1988!
I am using all references in books, articles and magazines I can find.
There have been a great many public appearances of Nico in Europe. If you have been present on one of these events and still have some record of it
(like an entrance ticket, poster, pictures,..) please send me a mail.
If you have some remembrances to one of these concerts mail me your comments, I will include them on these pages.
The small and signs
mean that there is a cassette or CD recording circulating somewhere. In some cases there is also a video recording
().
