Eight month tour November 1975 - June 1976: two months England, then Europe, While there, Rick, who always sported a heavy beard decided to save it off. At the next show, frontman John Helliwell, introduced Rick to the audience as "The Turk" and the headlines charged "Turkish piano player is great".
After a farewell concert, in their homeland, at the famed Royal Albert Hall, Supertramp again crossed the Ocean to America.
The American and Canadian tours that followed were extensive.
But the tour didn't end here. Deciding to spread their music even farther, their next stops were Japan, Australia and finally New Zealand in June 1976.
