Some have sensed that the recording of the Oldies (on the 2 side of Now and Then) was a grab at an album fill. My thoughts are that it was not a fill at all, but rather was a brilliant move to theme the new album with touring and showcase one of their biggest hits.
I believe that Tony broke his leg from a motorcycle accident towards the end of 1975 (newsletter #46). You may be thinking of one of the later shows you saw unless he broke it twice. I recall Richard had a motorcycle accident (or dirt bike?) at the end of January 1973 and broke his leg and wrist. That may have been have been closer to the tour you saw in '73.The children’s choir for Sing, was only on the ‘73 tour here. I think Tony Peluso was on crutches on that tour too. I believe he broke his leg?
They really did drum well togetherMy favorite part of the concert was the Help/Mr. Guder medley with Karen & Cubby drumming in perfect synch together.

You're welcome! It really is a great memory for me, one that still shines bright.^^^ What a great memory, thanks for sharing!
Richard still had his cast on his hand/wrist at the show I attended, which makes sense because it was only 3 months after his motorcycle accident.
This little audio snippet comes from a concert at Valley Forge Music Fair in 1973. Rather than my trying to explain where Tony Peluso was, I'll let Richard tell you!

i am thrilled to read this article !!That has to be the best audio quality of this clip that I have heard, thanks Harry!
I have a feeling that it's a faint giggle by Karen that caused Richard to interrupt his speech and ask about that good time
That last bit always cracks me up, but very admirable how Karen contains herself just before she starts to sing

Tony Peluso's DJ shtick was actually pre-recorded for this part of the tour.
There was an actual reel tape recorder on stage that one of the band turned on when the DJ was needed.
