The rock band Blind Faith, composed of Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech played a small number of gigs in England, Scandinavia and the United States between June and August 1969. The first gig, on 7 June at Hyde Park, London was witnessed by 100,000 fans.[1] This was followed by a series of dates in Scandinavia through the rest of the month, followed by a US tour starting in Madison Square Garden on 12 July.[2] The US tour continued until the group's final concert on 24 August in Hawaii, after which the group split.[3]
