Tanz Der Youth — 17 September 1978
A strong contemporary booking/listing record for Tanz Der Youth at Chancellor Hall, Chelmsford on Sunday 17 September 1978.
Contemporary evidence
Record Mirror, 16 September 1978, reports that Tanz Der Youth were due to play Retford on Friday, Nottingham on Saturday, Chelmsford Chancellor Hall on Sunday, and Newport on Wednesday. The sequence matches Sunday 17 September 1978.
Status: strong contemporary evidence; not ticket-backed.
Independent venue record
The Punk Music Catalogue Chancellor Hall chronology also lists Tanz Der Youth at Chancellor Hall on 17 September 1978.
The two sources agree on the date and venue. A surviving Chelmsford ticket, poster, local-paper report, photograph or first-hand audience memory would still strengthen the local record.
Archive decision
The date is promoted from a bare venue-list lead to strong contemporary evidence, but it is not described as ticket-confirmed. The archive keeps the evidence level visible rather than treating all source types as equal.
