Great pictures! I so wish i could have seen that tour, however i was born in 1981 therefore i probably wouldnt have cared much for it at the time!

All of the live footage i've seen and heard from that tour is fantastic, the band had a really great punchy sound and Alice had a really menacing stage persona (not that he doesn't anymore ofcourse!).

I believe this is from a show at the Savoy on Long Island in 1980...

Special Forces tour before the album released? Don't think so. Thanks for the pics though, nice and rare

It's been corrected at 1981 and they definately did songs from Special Forces like "Who Do We Think We Are".

Funnily enough, that is what happened with this tour, apparently. I believe the tour started about two weeks before the album was released.

Actually, I may have got this wrong. Maybe what happened was that the tour was announced only two weeks before the first show (which, in any case, ties in nicely with the other thread - no pun intended).

Not really just a keyboard in close proximity at all times...
