Curved Air had just released Airborne in the Spring of 1976 when they played this gig at the Roundhouse and their career as a band was on its last legs. Airborne didn’t chart and although live shows were always popular, they drifted apart. Drummer Stewart Copeland formed the Police, of course. It would be 2014 before the would release new material.
Brand X on the other hand were just getting started as a primo jazz-fusion band and would release their debut album ‘Unorthodox Behaviour’ on June 18th 1976, just a couple of weeks after this gig.
A Band Called O would soon after this show become The O Band. They’d started out as a prodigy sort of outfit in 1974 for two albums but moved into more AOR on their third release ‘Within Reach’ released in 1976.
