Empires And Dance Tour 1980
"We're having a pretty hard time on this tour. The audience seems to be real early Genesis fans - age
about 28 to 30, Yes T-shirts - and they're not really interested in any support band.
But it's still good to play again."
- Jim Kerr.
Peter Gabriel came to the band's rescue. Impressed by the experimental edge of
Real To Real Cacophony, he offered them the support on his European
Peter Gabriel III tour. Not only did he offer them support, he also paid their expenses.
The tour was problematic, not only for the relatively unknown Scots band, but also for the organisers, who had to reschedule
several dates (some down to riots at Donovan gigs!)
Simple Minds had also changed, swelling
their numbers to six for the tour. Paul Wishart
from Endgames joined them on the tour as their sax player.
