In the Beginning.....

The first 'MMEB' concert was in March 1971 at the Piper Club in Rome. In May 1971 they played in two gigs in Australia - one of them together with Deep Purple. In August 1971 they had a televison debut in Paris. All these gigs were played as Manfred Mann Chapter Three.

October 1971 a concert in Ireland. While waiting for an aeroplane the name Earth Band was suggested by Chris Slade - until then the band´s name was still Chapter Three.

On October 17, 1971 London`s Roundhouse. Also October 1971 a BBC radio show" Sounds Of The 70`s " was their first radio show.
