Peter Murphy corrections

There are some corrections for the Peter Murphy dates. First of all, you have 1990-04-12 listed as a date in Norfolk, VA. This is not correct. As per both NIN Historian and that Bauhaus site:

http://www.theninhotline.net/nin_histor ... dates.html
http://bauhausgigguide.info/tour.php?tid=41

this date is supposed to be in Philly.

You also have the April 6 and April 7 shows listed incorrectly. April 6 is supposed to be a show in Minneapolis, and April 7 is supposed to be two shows in one night in Chicago (one at 7 PM and one at 11 PM).

Next, there are still 2 Norfolk dates remaining, Mar. 30 and Apr. 30. I think that's a mistake. It doesn't make any sense that the Apr. 30 performance would happen 9 days after the rest of the tour is finished, and to a place they had already been. In fact, if you look at the two dates, Mar. 30 and Apr. 30, the more likely explanation is that a some point, someone got the month wrong, they meant to write March, but wrote April instead, and thus, two shows were born. So, really, there was only one Norfolk show, on Mar. 30, and it would be perfectly reasonable for you to remove the Apr. 30 date. Also, the Bauhaus guide linked above does not list the Apr. 30 date.

Finally, looking at the two Montreal shows, I think this is another instance of date mixups. It doesn't make sense that they would play Montreal on Apr 8, and then again on Apr 18. If you look at the map, it also doesn't make sense that they would travel 3 days in a row from Chicago > Montreal > Detroit, crossing the border twice, especially after having just played 2 shows in one night in Chicago. No, I think the more likely explanation again is that someone wrote down Apr. 8, when they meant to write Apr. 18, and so the Apr 8 show does not actually exist.

I also found another Peter Murphy date. Nine Inch Nails opened for him for:

1990-03-18 Tulsa, OK @ Cain's Ballroom

I found a news article that confirms NIN:
