Hi!

Does anyone know when in 1961 this concert took place? Given that the sleevenotes refer to FBI as their current single, and they had several more singles released in South Africa that year, I'd guess it was no later than around April - but if anyone knows the date of the concert, or the dates of their South African tour, that would be very helpful.

Many thanks!

Many thanks, Iain - that's really helpful.
