February 1970

Here is a scan of the front of the Music Now paper with a FM colour photo and interesting article showing where Peter's head was at. This is courtesy of Sunbeam Records co-founder and Flashback Magazine editor Richard Morton Jack. Thank you Richard!

Thanks for posting this, becca!

Yep, thanks for posting. I took a look at Dinky Dawsons tourlist because of Austria march 13 and Vienna march 25. Dinky states march 13 as Amsterdam which is probably right because after that they went to Belgium (lousy 200 km) on march 14 and back to Holland on march 15 (Rotterdam (I WAS THERE )).
So I guess Jim Watson made a slip of the pen .

Is Dinky different from this? His site is wonderful but confusing.

Side note:
May 28th, London: Peter's last official appearance with the band.

Okay,
Using the article posted by Becca (thank you) and comparing the info found in Celmins’ biography, Dawson’s “Life on the Road” and Christopher Hjort’s “Strange Brew” and the FM Legacy tour listings, I think the band’s itinerary in March and April of 1970 might have looked something like this:

Highlighted shows are those for which bootleg recordings are available.

March:

March 07, 1970 Paris - France, L’Olympia
March 08, 1970 Basle - Switzerland, Limmathaus
March 09, 1970 Zurich – Switzerland, Limmathaus
March 13, 1970 Amsterdam – Holland, Het Concertgebouw
March 14, 1970 Londerzeel – Belgium, venue not known
March 15, 1970 Rotterdam – Holland, venue not known
March 18, 1970 Hannover, West Germany, Kuppelsaal
March 19, 1970 West Berlin, West Germany, Sportspalast
March 20, 1970 Hamburg, West Germany, Musikalle
March 21, 1970 Dusseldorf, West Germany, Rheinhalle
March 22, 1970 Munich, West Germany, Circus Krone Bau
March 23, 1970 Frankfurt, West Germany, venue not known
March 24, 1970 Nuremburg, West Germany, venue not known
March 25, 1970 Vienna, Austria, Konzerthaus
March 26, 1970 Boblingen / Stuttgart, West Germany, Liederhalle
March 28, 1970 Copenhagen, Denmark, Falkoner Centret
March 30, 1970 Odense, Denmark, Fyens Forum

April:

April 01, 1970 Stockholm, Sweden, Konserthuset
April 02, 1970 Gothenburg, Sweden, Cue Room
April 03, 1970 Helsinki, Finland, Kultuuritaalo

No one lists the show in Frankfurt (the day after Munich) so the chances are good that it was canceled. More interestingly, no one listed Gothenburg (in April) either, yet a tape exists for that show - unless of course the location is incorrect…

I think Wouter Vuijk might remember the venue in Rotterdam? I have seen some films of outdoor events in a park by the water from around then, wonder if it was one of those?

Thanks for your research and for the list, BklynBlue. That's probably the best guess yet as to the actual dates for that tour.

Thanks, great list. Why do you figure Frankfurt was cancelled though? Most of those listings are guesswork anyway. It's pretty well documented Green and at least one additional band member only stayed at the commune one night.
