1ST AMERICAN TOUR (8-Weeks)

09 APR 1969 Fillmore East, New York City, NY w/ The Nice and Ten Years After; the Bill Graham incident

Roger Chapman (in Oldie-Markt, circa 1990): “I just made one of my numbers with the microphone stand, when Bill Graham appeared to see the last part of the show. Obviously he was shocked when he saw how I dealt with the microphone; it was absolutely unusual and he was totally startled. So he ran down the corridor and pulled down all of our posters. Well, we understood one another afterwards in spite of that, and we did several concerts for Graham later, but I think several other concert organizers and other people in the music business followed Bill’s example because he was an important person in the business, and expelled us.”

14-17 APR 1969 Steve Paul’s Scene, New York City, NY w/ RavenFamily 41069scene_edited

Billboard Magazine Concert Review April 26, 1969 – The difference in Family was striking. Where the group had been loose, they were together. Where they had been languid, they where sharp. Where they were unsure, they were comfortable. The Reprise artists displayed the high degree of musicianship that had raised expectations for their first U.S. tour. They were especially good in driving material, such as “The Weaver’s Answer” and “Observations From A Hill.” Among the strong points were the strange, strong, tremulous voice of Roger Chapman, Rob Townsend on drums, Jim King on saxophone and recorder, Ric Grech on violin and bass guitar and John Whitney on lead guitar. FRED KIRBY

25 APR 1969 Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI w/ Canned Heat, Stooges

Peter Grant recommended him to Family and despite being only a guitar and violin player, picked up the bass without any warmups for a few dates in the New York area.
