2007
A SXSW appearance in Austin, European festival dates, and a September UK club run. The announced July US West Coast dates were postponed, with the revised tour due to begin on 26 September. Robert Williams was confirmed on drums for the US dates and UK electric shows, with Caroline "Caz" Campbell on bass for the US dates. The limited-edition tour-only CD *Beyond Acoustic Fields* (HISCD005) presented nine *Beyond Elysian Fields* songs as acoustic guitar-and-vocal performances originally recorded by Tony Visconti at Looking Glass Studios, New York, to demonstrate the material before the full-band album sessions: Cadiz, Beauty on the Beach, The Land of a Thousand Kisses, 24/7, Henry Moore, The Story of Harry Power, Picked up by the Wind, Do Right Bayou and Under Her Spell.
