Hi All,

I'm curious why this happened:)

Thanks:)

Now for the straightforward answer...

The hiatus occured between 10/20/74 and 6/3/76. They were tired.
They had been touring without much downtime for years, plus they had
taken on the extra challenges of running their own record company in
'73 and lugging around the Wall of Sound in '74.
