Hi hi,
Here some information about a gig Porno for Pyros did which isn't mentioned in the tour dates section. It's a gig they did in The Netherlands on juli 5th 1993 in support of Neil Young. Underneath some information about the show.
I think they were a last minute addition because there was almost zero promotion. I heard only afterwards about the gig. Supposedly the gig wasn't very succesful. Makes sense. Probably only Neil Young fans which is a different cup of tea. The gig took place in Ahoy which is a big place. About 12000 people.
See some information including a part of the dutch popmusic encyclopedia about Martyn. Maybe you can add this to the list?

1992 - 1997
Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction) asks the bassist to join the band Porno For Pyros. The expectations in the American music press are high, and their untitled debut album enters the Billboard charts at number 1 in 1993. The band's only Dutch gig is as support act to Neil Young at the Rotterdam Ahoy' in 1993. LeNoble buys a house in Malibu and starts living a life of excess that seem to come with the success. When his drug addiction runs out of control he has to leave Porno For Pyros during the recording of their second album Good God's Urge (1996). It takes the bassist a couple of years to get his life back on track. 'I had to go to jail a couple of times, had to spend time in a number of mental institutions, had to become homeless and live in a cardboard box under the freeway before I was finally clean,' is how LeNoble describes it in an interview with the Dutch music magazine FRET (May 2002).
