Non-notable tour. Article consists primarily of a setlist and list of dates. Fails WP:NOTINHERITED Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 14:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Tour generated substantial press coverage at the time, and should be able to meet the general notability guideline with ease if one looks in a suitable place (i.e., contemporary newspapers and music magazines). JulesH (talk) 20:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, a non-notable tour that fails to satisfy the general notability guideline with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Just an indiscriminate collection of fancruft.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: trivial coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 02:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: nothing inherently notable about this tour, a list of dates without explanation or rationale. A-Kartoffel (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - lots of non-trivial press coverage which is not available on the net, but it is reflected in the standard secondary literature. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa  Chord 2  22:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tour got a two-page review in the Los Angeles Times (calling it the band's "most spectacularly staged and finely honed show yet"), and was reviewed in The Washington Post. And I have no reason to doubt JulesH and hexaChord that even more press coverage exists from 1977 and 1978, but thanks to FUTON bias it probably won't be found in a Google search.
