Great that Extreme has started the next leg of their tour. Did they begin your show with an image of a gorilla and a track with chanting?

The Piston setlists were assigned to a duplicate of the US group Pist.On. I've corrected these now to the correct MBID: af644750-6fc6-44fb-b771-8bf618c7dba2.

I've just found this newspaper article with more of those tour dates - I'll add them to our database with the same caveat.

I'm so sorry, I thought I got back to you already with how to edit the artist of a setlist. Next time, you can click the "Edit setlist" link and follow the "Edit venue & date option", which also allows you to edit the artist.

Unfortunately, musicbrainz rejected my edit on the Fourplay album:
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/78331228
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/78369752

They deem it a release by "'The Sensational Alex Harvey Band' performing as 'SAHB (without Alex)'".

Our protocol is to follow the musicbrainz database, and unfortunately setlist.fm doesn't offer a feature of "[artist 1] performing as [artist 2]".

What we can do is add an Info tag to each setlist explaining this. I've done this for the 6x Jan-Feb 1977 gigs that we have - here's yours for reference:

Thanks for the SABH comment.

I edited the setlist as the "SABH (without Alex)" artist was redirected on musicbrainz to "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band", as we take our artist details directly from mb.

I see that you've created "S.A.H.B. (without Alex)" on musicbrainz:
https://musicbrainz.org/artist/f3ea4a30-0e16-4a00-b7a5-0891c47a3976/edits

I've added some aliases there to make it easier to find. In a couple of days those changes will be reflected on the setlist.fm artist:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/sahb-without-alex-73c59ae1.html

I've also edited the Fourplay release to be attributed to the other artist:
https://musicbrainz.org/release/73ca83f7-48c2-47e2-a12f-af62e1215b31/edits

You should be able to edit the 6x 1977 gigs to "S.A.H.B. (without Alex)" yourself. If the musicbrainz team come back and reject my album edit and merge the two artists on their site, we can revisit our solution.

Hope that all makes sense! Let me know.
James

All fixed. Thanks.
