Hi All,

the line-up of the 1983 Money and Cigarettes US tour (1st leg) included
Roger Hawkins as drummer, at least for a couple of shows. Hawkins quit the
band to return to studio work, and was replaced by Jamie Oldaker.

I'm currently researching this topic to complete the Slowhand Tourography
(http://www.ectours.de),  so I'm looking for the exact date when Hawkins
definitely was replaced by Oldaker? The diverse recordings having surfaced
since are questionable as sources, as they say one thing, then another.
Besides, a newspaper review from 1983 mentions Oldaker, whereas a concert
goer says Hawkins for the same concert...

Does anyone remember the exact date of the Hawkins/Oldaker replacement?

Thanks
Ekkehard
