19.04.1974 - to promote Quo's next US tour, Status Quo performed "Big Fat Mama" at the famous NBC TV show "The Midnight Special". Other musical guests were Glady's Knight, Phil Ochs, Sugarloaf and The Impressions.

A few weeks after their successful UK tour, Quo once again found themself flying across the Atlantic for some gigs in North America. This visit was due to last for six weeks, including dates as support act for Rory Gallagher. In addition the band were also booked as headliners, albeit in small club venues.

27.07.1974 - Status Quo's gear didn't show up at the Vancouver,Canada gig, so Rory ended up entertaining the audience for almost three hours.
