General Tour Notes: Tour dates, venues, set list and opening act Jimmy Spheeris reported in Official Fan Club Newsletters, October 1979 and December 1979. A boot of the November 4 Wembley concert, reported by Colin Cody, has the positions of "Gypsy" and "I'll Be Level With You" reversed, so perhaps this was a switch the band occasionally made. This change would make the set list identical to those reported for the Fall 1978 and Summer 1979 Octave tours. |
