 Walle had impressed the other members of the band during Flying Norwegians shows as opening act, and they requested that he join them for the US leg of their 1976 tour.He accepted the offer, and played his first show with the group at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on July 23, 1976 on a bill that also included The Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers, Jeff Beck and Firefall.This did, however, mean that touring and recording was put on halt for Flying Norwegians.
