On March 24, 1976, glam icons Sweet played the last show on the US leg of their Give Us A Wink world tour at the 3000-capacity Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA, less than six weeks after the release of the album that gave the tour its name.
The show took place just five days after the death of former Free guitarist Paul Kossoff, whose body had been found in the bathroom of a flight from Los Angeles to New York. Kossoff had been due to support Sweet in Santa Monica with his band Back Street Crawler, and the headliners took the opportunity to pay tribute.
