There were 161 scheduled Jethro Tull concerts in 1972. |
We're still unsure of several setlists - can you help? | ||

| 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. | ||
| 23/1/72 | Meistersingerhalle | Nürnburg, Germany |

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. | ||

Cancelled | ||
| 26/1/72 | Frederich Eberthalle | Ludwigshafen, Germany |
| 27/1/72 | Kuppelsaal | 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. 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) | ||

Possibly a last-minute replacement for a scheduled concert at the Palazzo dello Sport in Torino, cancelled due to local regulations. | ||
| 1/2/72 | Palasport | Roma, 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 | Palazzo dello Sport | Treviso, Italy |
Very confused. The tour schedule claims this was the date of the Bologna concert. Local advertising originally stated the venue of the Treviso show (whatever the correct date!) as Bocciodromo Ovest, but that was changed in later adverts. Could this venue change be a side-effect of the overall rescheduling of the Italian tour? | ||
| 4/2/72 | Palazzo dello Sport | Varese, Italy |
My God (w. flute solo, incl. Bourée, By Kind Permission Of..., Soirée), Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, A New Day Yesterday, Cross-Eyed Mary, Nothing Is Easy Incomplete? | ||
| 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. | ||
