This tour supports the LP "Made in England".
Also, it is said that Paul Hammond and John DuCann left the band before the January 8, 1972 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). Also John DuCann and Paul Hammond formed Hard Stuff after Rooster.
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, came from a band called Leafhound) departed to join Cactus. Leafhound evolved out of the Black Cat Bones.
