gibsonfan159 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I've read the books and seen almost every photo, but I don't recall reading or seeing anything about how the band traveled in the early days. Did they have a bus? Are there pics of the bus or the band on it? Did they magically teleport from show to show? Can someone give a reference to something about their early touring that describes their road experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Per Richard Cole's book(s), they predominately used commercial aircraft in the US prior to leasing The Starship. They also used a station wagon rather extensively on that first US tour, which he discusses in his book(s). In Europe and Japan they tended to use the trains often.

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I don't think they were able to teleport until after Jimmy purchased Boleskine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
