| My God or A New Day Yesterday or Live Up
A version of this show, with the closing tracks from 27/1/72 (end of the main set, not the encore), is circulating as A Blues For God. The pre-existing boot of that name is entirely from 27/1/72.
My God (w. flute solo, incl. Soirée, By Kind Permission Of..., Bourée), Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, To Cry You A Song, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary (w. drum solo), Tomorrow Was Today, Hymn 43, Nothing Is Easy, Wind up, Locomotive Breath/Hard-Headed English General, Wind-Up (reprise) |
22/1/72 | Festhalle | Frankfurt, Germany |
| Gentle Giant sources claim that the show was moved to Offenbach (near Frankfurt!), but three audience members who recall the concert clearly, two of whom still have the used ticket stub (not an unused ticket), prove otherwise.
Confusingly, a newspaper review claims to be of the Offenbach show. |

| My God (w. flute solo, incl. Bourée, By Kind Permission Of..., Soirée), Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, To Cry You A Song, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary (w. drum solo), Tomorrow Was Today, Hymn 43, Nothing Is Easy, Wind up, Locomotive Breath/Hard-Headed English General, Wind-Up (reprise)
Italicised tracks unconfirmed. |
25/1/72 | Meistersingerhalle | Nürnburg, Germany |
| Presumably a last-minute replacement for the cancelled 23/1 concert. |
26/1/72 | Frederich-Ebert-Halle | Ludwigshafen, Germany |
27/1/72 | Congress Centrum | Hannover, Germany |
| Hang Over or A Blues For God.
An alternative version of the latter is really from the 21/1/72 show, with only the closing tracks (end of the main set, not the encore) taken from 27/1/72.
This show's venue is generally accepted to have been the Kuppelsaal, but Tull's own records say it was the Niedersachsenhalle, a different auditorium within the same complex.
However, two audience members independently recall it being in the Eilenriedehalle, frequently used for rock concerts. Tull's stage was, unusually, set up in the middle of the rectanguar hall's long side, rather than at one end.
My God (w. flute solo, incl. Soirée, By Kind Permission Of..., Bourée), Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, To Cry You A Song, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary (w. drum solo), Tomorrow Was Today, Hymn 43, Nothing Is Easy, Wind up, Locomotive Breath/Hard-Headed English General, Wind-Up (reprise) |

31/1/72 | ? | Milano, Italy |

| The Poor Man Gets Along
My God (w. flute solo, incl. Soirée, By Kind Permission Of..., Bourée), Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, To Cry You A Song, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary (w. drum solo), Tomorrow Was Today, Hymn 43, Nothing Is Easy, Wind Up, Locomotive Breath/Hard-Headed English General, Wind Up (reprise) |
2/2/72 | Palazzo dello Sport | Bologna, Italy |
| Two shows: 17:30 & 21:00.
The tour schedule puts these show in Napoli, but Gentle Giant sources claim that show was cancelled and this, listed in the Tull schedule for 3/2/72, was brought forward. Confirmation is provided by two different contemporary press sources. |
3/2/72 | Bocciodromo Ovest | Treviso, Italy |
| Bologna concert originally scheduled for this date.

Venue full (sold out?). |

5/2/72 | Palasport | Novara, Italy |
| The original locally-advertised tour schedule lists a show at the Palazzo dello Ghiaccio, Bolzano on this date. However, a corrected version, published a week later listed Novara instead.
Other sources claim that Tull were at the Palais des Sports in Lyon, France on this date, but two audience members and a recording prove otherwise, beyond serious doubt.
My God, Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary, Nothing Is Easy, Wind up, Locomotive Breath |
6/2/72 | Palasport | Novara, Italy |
| The corrected locally-advertised tour schedule states that this was a second concert in Novara. However, other sources claim that Tull performed in Paris, France on this date.
There is a suggestion that the European tour ended in Novara on this date. Subsequent dates are listed in the tour schedule, but neither Tull nor Gentle Giant sources provide confirmation that they went ahead. |
