Walter Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That's pretty cool, Sam. 3 days of rehearsals before the 1st show? Interesting. Thanks for sharing all of the documents you've been digging up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I was aware of those rehearsal dates but it's always great to see further confirmation! I am intrigued by the itinerary book for the third leg. Unsure if it's contents were scanned but it may reveal all of the cancelled dates, cities, venues. For example, I show Denver and San Diego were to be included but I do not have dates or venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I show Denver and San Diego were to be included but I do not have dates or venues. I thought the same thing when reading the cover of the third leg. Plus I was wondering how much they actually rehearsed during those three days - since it's widely known they shipped everything over before postponing the start of the tour.

It ends with August dates in Chicago (two nights), Buffalo (8/6), Pittsburgh (two nights) & Philadelphia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have confirmed dates, cites and venues to match that but had thought there were more as it was only a two week stint. Perhaps anything beyond these dates was still tentative and I actually don't have anything noted to attribute where "Denver" came from, while San Diego is attributed to "recollections of a ticket holder". It would seem that recollection is false, as there's no way a San Diego '77 date went on sale without press coverage or some tickets still being in existence.

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted December 1, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah, I would consider those other dates you mention very tentative and probably just rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Avenger Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Very interesting, thanks! Am I right to assume though that these rehearsals didn't actually take place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledpoison1 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) They obviously had some rehearsals before the tour. Edited December 4, 2015 by ledpoison1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Avenger Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yes, absolutely. Those pics are from January 77, before the start of the tour was postponed. What's interesting is that the shot in the OP shows three whole days of rehearsals at the start of the tour in March, as originally planned. I'm wondering how much they did when they eventually got to the US in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
