5 THE
NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES
The Never-Ending Tour rolled on with 94 new shows, all pretty much the same as in 1995, 1994 and 1993. Guitarist John Jackson quit after the Tour of Japan and was replaced by Larry Campbell.
The 1997 part of The Never-Ending Tour consisted of no less than 6 new "legs" in spite of the cancelled European Summer Tour.
