| 28/10/75 | Dane County Coliseum | Madison, Wi. USA |
| 29/10/75 | ? | Omaha, Ne. USA |
The University of Nebraska (in Omaha) has no record of this concert. A crew member recalls a concert in Green Bay, Wi. at about this time; this date seems credible. | ||

| 2/11/75 | Elliott Hall of Music, Purdue U. | West Lafayette, In. USA |
Venue capacity: 7000. Set began with 'Thick As A Brick (excerpt)'. | ||
| 3/11/75 | St. John Arena | Columbus, Oh. USA |
Some confusion. At least one source puts this show at Ohio University, Athens. The discrepancy is easily explained: Ohio State University is in Columbus. However, it seems strange for there to have been two shows in Columbus within a week - one is presumably incorrect. An audience member is sure it was in November. Presumably Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond's last Tull show, at which he was apparently given real horse sh*t to juggle, but the audience member doesn't remember that. Maybe the West Lafayette concert was Jeffrey's last scheduled show, and the stunt was performed there. | ||
| 5-20 Dec | ? | Montreux, Switzerland |
Staying at the Palace Hotel whilst working on 'Too Old To Rock'N'Roll...', maybe using the Maison Rouge Mobile Studio. The album sleeve says it was recorded in Monte Carlo, so: | ||
| Late Dec? | RTV Studio | Monte Carlo, Monaco |
Recording 'Too Old To Rock'N'Roll...', using the Maison Rouge Mobile Studio. | ||
