Tomorrow

Tomorrow was originally called The In Crowd. Michelangelo Antonioni originally wanted to feature the band in his 1966 film Blowup. He later decided to use The Yardbirds. In 1967, they appeared in the Swingin' London film Smashing Time as The Snarks. Since John "Junior" Wood was ill during the filming of the movie, he was replaced by a clothes dealer named John Pearce. Tomorrow played at a handfull of venues, all of which were in London except where noted. This list was compiled from information on Steven Sullivan's Yes Gigs 1966-1980.
