line-up:

This tour supports the LP "In Hearing Of".
Also, it is said that Paul Hammond and John DuCann left the band before this show. These two were on the LP "In Hearing Of", but left soon after the recording of that album (in 1971) to form another band, Daemon. Hammond had actually taken over Parnell's spot in August 1970 (after Parnell took over Carl Palmer's) -- but when Hammond departed, Parnell was brought back into the fold (in the interim Parnell was in a band called Horse).
Ric Parnell later went on to find fame as Mick Shrimpton in the movie 'This Is Spinal Tap'.
Steve Bolton later played in the Who. Pete French (vocals, formerly of Cactus) departed to form Leaf Hound..
