- Wembley Empire Pool, 18th March 1972 (Matinee Concert)

On 18 March 1972 performed two sell-out concerts at the Empire Pool, Wembley (capacity 10,000 per show). They were only the second group to play there – the first having been Led Zeppelin in November 1971 – other than for multi-artist NME awards and charity shows in the 1960s. The Empire Pool was originally just that – a swimming pool built for the 1934 Empire Games. Having had three number one singles (with two more at number two) and the Electric Warrior album at number one for eight weeks either side of Christmas 1971, were the hottest group in the UK.
