What counts as agreement?
“Agrees” means the surviving source wording supports the same artist and date/venue combination. It does not mean that every part of the selected event record has been independently verified.
A working evidence ledger for the selected event layer. It records what the surviving Where & When wording actually supports, what remains different or incomplete, and where further research would be most useful.
| Event | Selected record | Source-index evidence | Evidence state | Research priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Who | 23 Jan 1965 · Corn Exchange | “The Who — Chelmsford Corn Exchange - 28.11.64” | CONFLICT Date differs materially. | High — locate the underlying contemporary source for each date. |
| Jimmy Nicol | 3 Apr 1965 · Corn Exchange | “Jimmie Nicol — Chelmsford Corn Exchange Saturday” | PARTIAL Artist/venue supported; date absent. | Medium — programme, advert or contemporary listing. |
| Alex Harvey Soul Band | 4 Sep 1965 · Corn Exchange | “Alex Harvey Soul Band — Chelmsford Corn Exchange -” | PARTIAL Artist/venue only. | Medium — contemporary listing if available. |
| Jimi Hendrix / Soul Trinity | 25 Feb 1967 · Corn Exchange | “Jimi Hendrix — Chelmsford Corn Exchange - 25.02.1967” | AGREES Date/venue wording agrees. | Low — preserve existing provenance. |
| Pink Floyd | 23 Sep 1967 · Corn Exchange | “Pink Floyd — Chelmsford Corn Exchange - 23.09.1966” | CONFLICT Source says 1966. | High — seek contemporary programme, poster or press evidence. |
| The Clash | 29 May 1977 · Chancellor Hall | “Clash — Chelmsford Chancellor Hall - 29.0577” | LIKELY TYPO Numeric pattern strongly resembles 29.05.77, but the source remains quoted as found. | Medium — verify against ticket/poster. |
| The Damned + 999 | 6 Nov 1977 · Chancellor Hall | “Damned — Chelmsford Chancellor Hall 06.11.77” | PARTIAL Date/venue/Damned supported; 999 not named. | Medium — preserve ticket/bill evidence for the support act. |
| The Vibrators | 26 Jun 1977 · Chancellor Hall | “Vibrators — 07.07.77 - Chancellor Hall” plus a separate 26 June entry elsewhere in the surviving index. | CONFLICT / MULTIPLE ENTRIES Do not collapse the two records. | High — the supplied tour poster now corroborates 26 June; retain the separate 7 July entry and compare the two against contemporary bills/source copies. |
| Buzzcocks / The Slits / John Cooper Clarke | 12 Mar 1978 · Chancellor Hall | “The Buzzcocks — Chancellor Hall Chelmsford 12.03.78 & …” | PARTIAL Buzzcocks/date/venue supported; remaining wording incomplete. | Medium — inspect surviving ticket/poster or full index context. |
| Generation X | 2 Apr 1978 · Chancellor Hall | “Generation X — Chancellor Hall - 1978” | PARTIAL Year/venue supported; exact date not supplied. | Medium — contemporary listing. |
| The Undertones | 3 Jun 1979 · Chancellor Hall | “Undertones / Rezillos- Chancellor Hall — 03.06.79” | AGREES + ADDITIONAL ACT Date/venue agree; source adds Rezillos. | Low — preserve both act names in provenance. |
| Adam & The Ants | 13 Dec 1980 · Odeon | “Adam& The Ants / Gods Toys — 04.02.79 - Chancellor” | DIFFERENT RECORD Source points to a 1979 Chancellor Hall entry, not the selected 1980 Odeon record. | High — treat as two possible records until independently resolved. |
| Ozzy Osbourne + Budgie | 22 Oct 1980 · Odeon | “Ozzy Osbourne — Chelmsford Odeon - 22/10/1980” | AGREES Date/venue wording agrees. | Low — retain supporting material. |
“Agrees” means the surviving source wording supports the same artist and date/venue combination. It does not mean that every part of the selected event record has been independently verified.
“Conflict” is reserved for a material difference such as a different year or date. The archive does not silently choose a preferred version merely because one looks more plausible.
Partial evidence is useful evidence. A source naming an artist and venue but omitting a date should remain exactly that rather than being upgraded into a complete event record.
The strongest targets are contemporary programmes, posters, tickets and press listings for the high-priority conflicts. Where the archive already contains such material, it remains the preferred route over general web recollection.
