Is there anybody out there who actually went to any of the UK or Belgian concerts in november of 1976? I'm trying to get some first hand info, regarding the correct dates and venues. New info came in today and it's just made the existing lists out of date.

Andy, I was at the infamous decibel pounding Croydon Fairfield Halls gig in '76. Bizarrely my seat was on stage, perched up high, looking down on the band from very close.
I'd have to check my diary for the date, but usually Fairfield Halls favoured 'rock' gigs on Sundays in those years.
