He had a personal connection to Beatles history — as a teenager working in a Cardiff music shop, he had visited The Beatles backstage at the Capitol Cinema in Cardiff on 27 May 1963 and given Paul McCartney a set of bass strings.

Jack Bruce (1943–2014) was a Scottish musician, best known as the bassist, vocalist, and primary songwriter of Cream, the supergroup he formed with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker in 1966. Cream's hits included 'Sunshine Of Your Love', 'White Room', and 'I Feel Free', all performed on this tour.

Eric Carmen (1949–2024) was an American singer-songwriter, best known as the lead singer of The Raspberries and for his solo hits 'All By Myself' (1975), 'Hungry Eyes' (1987), and 'Go All The Way' (1972).

Simon Kirke (born 1949) is a British drummer, best known as a member of Free and Bad Company. Free's 'All Right Now' (1970) was one of the defining rock singles of the era.
