Tour

The tour was scheduled to promote the Too Low for Zero album, released on 30 May 1983. This tour featured the addition of keyboardist and guitarist Fred Mandel (who had recently worked with Davey Johnstone in Alice Cooper’s band) to the traditional line-up of Davey, Dee and Nigel. The tour began at the Addington Showgrounds in Christchurch and covered 22 shows in New Zealand and Australia, ending up with 2 shows in Hong Kong, China, at the Hong Kong Coliseum.[1] Ticket sales were phenomenal - most of the concerts were sold out, breaking all previous records.[2][3]

gollark: You'll memorize stuff naturally if you actually *use* them a lot.
gollark: Well, memorizing things is mostly stupid nowadays.
gollark: They more encourage obeying when anyone is watching and otherwise ignoring the rules.
gollark: Anyway, I don't think instilling more obedience to authority is a particularly *good* thing, and in any case schools are... kind of inconsistent at that.
gollark: We actually had a history teacher who spent a few lessons talking about Brexit (back in 2016), which was interesting.
