These photos were taken by Mercury Tour bass player Glenn Lucas during the spring and early summer of 1972. They were taken at several different theaters that the Mercury Tour stopped in at that time, primarily in Corning and Rochester, New York, although a few shots are from different shows. They have been arranged in the order of the show, so there are ocassional differences in the cast from one photo to the next.
