Most of the gigog has come from the work Clark did for the years 1996-2003, before he resigned. I've updated this and added a few shows/setlists which were missing. The 2004-2006 listings are something I've put together, but I'm sure (as you say) that there was a stack of stuff on shows from those years on the old board which unfortunately has disappeared.
arabstrap.co.uk is on archive.org, but the archive (god love 'em) is an incomplete version of the site, sadly.
Any suggestions on sites i could have a trawl through would be much appreciated.

in case people didnt see this on chemikal's site: (looks unreal...cant wait)
Next year sees the reissue of Arab Strap's first two (classic) albums: The Week Never Starts Round Here & Philophobia. Both albums will be reissued as double CDs, augmented by BBC material in the form of Peel Sessions and live recordings and will be preceded by an uber-multiple-dunting box set of unparalleled desirability.
The Box Set (entitled Scenes Of A Sexual Nature) will feature both albums on vinyl (with new liner notes by Aidan and Malcolm); a double album of bonus material (including a brand new Arab Strap - yes, you heard right) called 'Daughters Of Darkness'; a BBC Live CD; Another Bonus CD including rarities an early EP tracks and more surprises besides which we'll announce when it come up our humpf. Scheduled for early February more details will be released/leaked/launched/thrown at you in the fullness of time.

IMO, the Peel session version of 'The Night Before The Funeral' is better than the one on Philophobia. It has a nice guitar part in place of the brass section in the middle, for starters.
