Where did you get that date from ? From the hair and shirt, I'd be guessing late '77/early'78.

There are also some dings in the paint so it wasn't a fresh paint job.

Great pic, we don't get new ones very often.

I always thought that was from this '78 TV appearance.

You would be right wjamflan , that would be from the Japan `78 TV appearance and due to the clothing, hairstyle ect.. I`d bet the farm the first photo in this thread is from that also.

Well, the disco mirrors used as stage backdrops in both photos would confirm that, for sure!

Yeah, there's something kind of "throwed off" about going into that kind of detail.
