a very uneven live record. I find the 1976 stuff largely unlistenable, the 1975 songs mostly pretty good and the 1977 songs wonderful - all the more amazing considering the turmoil surrounding them that week.
As this got me curious, I did this bit of research for my RO breatheren. Source is Wikipedia. Dates are in American.
NB: 6-6-76 is the day Keith's son Tara died. I presume it was that night's show that Keith performed while aware of the tragedy but without telling the band.

I got the impression the band were aware of it. (I also thought he died on 4th june, but maybe you're right).
They played four shows in Paris that week (4,5,6 & 7 June). I think three of them are featured on the "Les Abattoirs" TV concert (all but the 2nd night).
Proof if ever it was needed what a trooper Keith can be in the midst of whatever else is going on in his life.
Oddly enough, I also think Wyman's dad died on the day of their Tokyo concert in 1990 which was being televised. That turned out to be the best show of that tour and one of the greatest stadium gigs theyve ever played.
Not forgetting Mick's round trip of 12,000 miles to see his dad on his death bed after the Phoenix show in November 2006, then arriving back in Las Vegas to be told that Joe had died whilst he had been en route - and then getting on stage a couple of hours later to entertain 15,000 people as normal. Incredible.
