Notes

Conventionally understood to be the last Legion of Mary performance, and as of 2024 that does seem likely. It's interesting to wonder how a listing for the Legion at the Music Hall on July 30 came to be, but it probably didn't involve a gig that happened. As for JGMF's "Dating the Legion’s Demise: A Revisionist Account", it rests on a category error, conflating what were actually Aunt Monk events for the closing of the Lion's Share on July 24-25 with Legion events (Tutt drumming). So now it can be said to revise the timeline of Jerry and Merl playing together, but not the LOM as such.
