If I remember right, didn’t he get that GS30 from Peter Ham of Badfinger ??

Absolutely correct he did 
 
 
Francis Rossi “First I had a stereo Gibson and Rick had a 335 on Matchstick Men," he told Total Guitar in 2016, "Then I had this Grimshaw that I got from the guy from Badfinger [Pete Ham].  

“We were touring with Badfinger. Pete Ham had this Grimshaw and he said, ‘Do you want to swap?’ So I swapped my Gibson Stereo for this very average Grimshaw.

Status Quo's Francis Rossi 
On Guitars, Music, and Elusive Success 
     by Elliot Stephen Cohen 
This article originally appeared in VG March 2014 issue. 

When I was very young, my dad bought me a Guild Starfire, then a stereo Gibson. Later, I was doing things with Pete Ham from Badfinger, and he had this black-and-green Grimshaw, which was kind of a Les Paul copy. I loved it, and swapped my cheap guitar in return for his, but then the bridge collapsed and it was no good.

1974年3月3日に William and Mary Hall, Williamsburg, Virginia で上記バンドによるコンサートが開催されたのかよくわからない。Badfinger のサイトや本には前日3月2日の同じVirginia州でのライブは載っているが、この日は書かれていない。Status Quo のサイトには 03/03/1974  USA, Williamsburg - College William & Mary (with Nazareth) と書かれていた。 http://www.setlist.fm/ の Nazareth を調べると、当日はドイツのRock Festivalに出演と書いてある。
