It’s true
The first ever live Jandek concert took place in Scotland in
October 2004. It was unannounced.
There have been 56 concerts total so far: 1 in 2004, 10 in 2005, 9
in 2006, 10 in 2007, 10 in 2008, and 16 so far in 2009, including the
first-ever Jandek tour, of Northern Ireland. 3 more shows have been
announced.
So far twelve shows are available from Corwood on CD, nine of them
on DVD as well, with more CD’s and DVD’s believed to be on
the way.
To the best of my knowledge, authorized recordings of all the shows
are in the Corwood vaults. Nearly all of the shows were also
officially videotaped.
Booking info
Corwood handles their own booking. They have a post office box and
are listed in the phone book.
