Martin recalls that the last gig before Stockholm was at the Students Union, Manchester, supporting Manfred Mann. However, there's documentary proof of the Tolworth gig. Perhaps he was confusing it with the 18/1 Manchester show?

Set as early show, with 'Dharma for One' after 'Nothing Is Easy'.

Two shows, supporting Jimi Hendrix (18:30 & 21:00).

The 'Disc & Music Echo', 1/2/69, mentioned that Tull recorded 'Love Story' for Top Of The Pops, to be broadcast if the single reached the top 30 whilst the band were touring in the USA and hence unable to appear on TOTP in person. The article strongly suggests it was in London, on the same day as a 'Birmingham' show (must have meant Wolverhampton), and directly quotes Ian. However, Ian, Martin & Glenn don't remember this at all! It was thought that at most they rehearsed such an appearance, and not in London - but see the following entry.

The band were delayed by fog until ~23:30. The club's MC announced that they had travelled from London that day, following a TV recording/ filming session - see previous entry.

Possibly supporting Manfred Mann - see 8/1.
