Notes

After the very successful US tour in spring, a second tour in summer took place, but this one was cancelled after only four gigs. The dates above were taken from an additional insert page in the 1977 US tour book.
 

 

It is common belief that a fan tape exists of the August 4 concert, but the American version of this date (4/8/77) was probably confused with the European version (8/4/77) so this concert most likely took place on 8 April. It is highly unlikely that the band returned to Canada for only one date. There is no evidence at the time of writing that any of the planned August 77 dates actually took place.
 

 

Edgar Froese about the cancelled tour: "The first part went very well but the second half was knocked down after three concerts. We always said I broke my arm falling off a horse, which was b*******. I can hardly ride a horse." Chris Franke: "That's probably why you fell off it." Edgar Froese: "The real reason was that all the concert promoters went bankrupt because Emerson, Lake and Palmer had just cancelled their massive tour with a 120 piece orchestra. We were part of the disaster and we lost a lot of money on the tour."
