A collection of live VHS tapes owned by The Fishmans Movie team.
Over their career, Fishmans performed hundreds of concerts, a number of which are available to listen to. It is unknown how many of these concerts were recorded. This is a comprehensive guide of every known concert Fishmans performed since their inception. A (?) symbol will be placed next to any word a translator is unsure about.
Much of the information present here is acquired through the Fishmans compendium Fishmans Chronicle (1988-), as well as through the Fishmans Movie team, setlist.fm and other resources. Setlists are acquired through Fishmans Chronicle (1988-) except where noted.
Attached images to years are only approximations of appropriate years, although they are matched as accurately as possible.
