Question about the 1971 tour

The University of Leeds, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK - 13 March 1971

As you can see, Stu is very close to Nicky in that picture; as far as I know only Nicky played keyboards on that tour, Stu was managing the tour as well but now I have a question for those who attended that tour "Goodbye Britain" Did Stu played live too?

Well, Stu's only standing in the wings in that photo - as are a few others - he's clearly not playing.

Maybe his proximity to Nicky is more to do with the fact that he's a pianist himself, and whatever roadie duties he had on that tour included tech work with the keyboards? Just a thought.

Nicky was the only piano player on the '71 tour

Thank you very much LOL

I thought he was playing with crossed arms, that's the coolest way to play Smiley

Thank you! (now seriously) that was my question and my guess too but I really had second thoughts

He was there in ’62 – the Oxford St Marquee, though – so I guess it was more fitting him have him tinkering away rather than Nicky Hopkins.
