1976

 

After the release of "T.N.T." the band embarqued on their first national Australian tour, and left for the UK in April of 1976, where they played numerous club dates and did their first proper UK tour in June. After some festivals dates in the Summer they toured Europe with Rainbow and returned to the UK in October. Their triumphant return to Australia in November for a 3 month tour was entitled "A Giant Dose Of Rock & Roll!" The 1976 set lists given here are indicative and changed slightly from one gig to another. Dates marked TBC are unconfirmed.
