As an aside, between October 25 and November 5, 1977, Rory and his band played seven gigs in Japan in venues at Nagoya, Hiroshima, Tokyo, and Osaka. Shortly after the band’s final concert at the Nakano Sun-Plaza Hall in Tokyo on November 5, 1977, the band flew to LA to record a new album which remained unreleased until 2011. The album was eventually called Notes From San Francisco. The 1977 Japan gigs were to promote the Calling Card album, which was released in 1976.
