The Dark Horse Tour band, autumn (23 October?) 1974 (photos by Ed Caraeff, © Iconic Licensing); George and Olivia in Vancouver on 2 November 1974 (photos by Henry Grossman, screenshots from Living In The Material World, both the book and documentary).

The Dark Horse Tour kicked off on 2 November 1974. Musicians on the tour were: Chuck Findley, Tom Scott, Willie Weeks, Andy Newmark, Billy Preston, Alla Rakha, Ravi Shankar, Satyadev Pawar, Harihar Rao, Robben Ford, L. Subramaniam, Kamalesh Maitra, T.V. Gopalakrishnan, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Viji Shankar, Shivkumar Sharma, Lakshmi Shankar, Gopal Krishan, Kartick Kumar, Emil Richards, Sultan Khan, Rijram Desad, and George.

“He liked the 1974 tour, [George Harrison] said. ‘That is, except for the fact that I had too much work on that year. I was really tired and didn’t have a throat; I wasn’t physically in good condition. I thought the band was great. ‘I found the people who came to see it who didn’t have preconceived ideas enjoyed it. It was the people who came expecting to see the Beatles who didn’t enjoy it. That’s part of what I was trying to say, “I’m not the Beatles. I’m me, you know.”’” - Observer-Reporter, 8 December 1976

“[During] his 1974 tour, when, overworked, Harrison says, he felt at times like ‘a raving lunatic.’ Harrison produced three albums that year, including his own, then hustled to recruit 20 musicians from India and the West to play with him on tour. The crowning blow came when he blew out his voice in rehearsals. The guitarist justifiably notes that his blend of Eastern rhythms with rock ‘was ahead of its time,’ but many critics at the time didn't agree.” - Chicago Tribune, 13 July 1992

“He wasn’t going to quit, it just wasn’t the done thing, so he went on tour and took a lot of flak for not having a voice. He really took a beating, although some of it was self-inflicted. But he was out there. It was very brave to carry on.” - Olivia Harrison, Extra Texture 2014 remaster liner notes

“George was troubled when I met him. Everything in his life had changed at that point: getting divorced, Apple was in turmoil, he had his own personal demons. ‘74 was one of those breaking-through-the-sound barrier periods. You come through and it’s just quiet on the other side.” - Olivia Harrison, MOJO, November 2011

“Yeah, well after I split up from Patti[e], I went on a bit of a bender […]. I wasn’t ready to join Alcoholics Anonymous or anything — I don’t think I was that far gone — but I could put back a bottle of brandy occasionally, plus all the other naughty things that fly around. I just went on a binge, went on the road… all that sort of thing, until it got to the point where I had no voice and almost no body at times. Then I met Olivia and it all worked out fine.” - George Harrison, Rolling Stone, 19 April 1979 (x)

We have seen Roxy Music did the majority of their career without Brian Eno's wild participation, this tends to get forgotten quite a lot. Moreover, they remained true to their laissez-faire ethos, though many would claim their swan song, Avalon, abandoned that. However, I have retorted on a multitude of my posts about the record that the disc represents the perfect ending to their opus, i.e. the LP shows a lyrical speaker achieving his happiness, so where could the group go after this? No surprise they didn't augment their reunion with a platter, they knew Avalon's sumptuous soundscapes function as a fine closure to their story. As you can hear on the title track, he's still visiting parties, but this time he locates what he was always looking for in them.
