Great band. The Paul McCartney penned hit 'Come and Get It' was a double edged sword for them. It was/they were successful but I think it made people think of them as a cover band. They were also signed to the Beatles' ill-fated Apple label which didn't help as it went bust. Badfinger were exploited/ripped off by their manager. Pete Ham commited suicide in 1975. Tom Evans followed suit in 1983.
A no-luck-at-all band, I read some of their sad story some time ago. The Straight Up album, which this tour refers to, was produced by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren.
