So successful was the tour that a further set of dates was arranged for the late summer in the US. This time it was a shorter set comprising a selection of songs from both the albums plus the usual encores and a bonus of the recently recorded Mechanics cover of The Beatles’ classic: Revolution which has yet to surface in the UK. I have been unable to obtain exact dates for the second Mechanics US tour, however. There was also a tour of Australia planned which unfortunately failed to materialise but the proposed dates were as follows:
