There were 55 scheduled Jethro Tull concerts in 1974.

18/8/74Nagoya-city KoukaidoNagoya, Japan
 
Listed in 1974 tour programme, though that only indicates that a concert had been booked when the programme was printed, not necessarily that it was played. Tull tour programmes have been known to list dates subsequently cancelled or rescheduled.

See 18/8 note.

See 18/8 note.
21/8/74Kousei Nenkin Kaikan Dai HallOsaka, Japan

There was doubt that this show even occurred, but an audience member recalls it.

Set featured most (all?) of 'Warchild'. Additional songs included 'Locomotive Breath'.

14/10/74US release of 'Warchild' Highest chart position: 2
14/10/74Voorst NationaalBruxelles, Belgium
16/10/74?Marseille, France
 
The tour schedule lists a second concert in Grenoble on this date, and this Marseille show on 18 Oct. However, an audience member clearly recalls attending a Tull concert at the Palais des Sports in Besançon (between Grenoble and Colmar) on 18 Oct. It is most likely that one of the Grenoble concerts was cancelled (this one) and Marseille was played earlier.
Note: unconfirmed! A newspaper review claims to be of the 16/10 Grenoble show.
17/10/74Palais des SportsGrenoble, France
 
An audience member confirms this show went ahead.
18/10/74Palais des SportsBesançon, France
 
The tour schedule lists the Marseille concert as having been on this date, but see 16 Oct.

An audience member suggests the intro was 'Locomotive Breath', rather than 'Aqualung, and doesn't recall 'Pan Dance' intro
