Show Notes:
Some sources list this concert as having taken place at the Hara Center in Dayton, Ohio. This may have been an early proposed date included on a draft itinerary while the tour was being planned. However, documentary evidence — including ticket stubs and photographs (by Paul Natkin / WireImage and Getty Images) — confirms that the show took place at the MetroCentre in Rockford, Illinois. The local presenting sponsor printed on the concert tickets was WZOK, a radio station licensed to Rockford. Broadcasting at 97.5 FM, it went on the air in 1949 and adopted the call letters WZOK in 1976.
Set List:
Unknown but most likely similar to those performed after 22 February
