Please also let us know if you can identify either of the 2 unidentified venues.

An audience member tentatively recalls that a "third band appearing that night before 'Ten Years After' was 'Stone The Crows'". This implies Tull played first. |
17/5/69 | Gala Ballroom (Melody Rooms?) | Norwich, UK |
| A member of 'Blue Ulysses' recalls supporting Tull in Norwich in 1969/70; this seems the most likely date. The planned running order was BU,JT,BU,JT, but BU felt outclassed, so didn't go back on; Tull played three sets.
Note: Glenn doesn't recall this! |

| Capacity: 800, audience: ~1,500 (double the venue's record), and hundreds more were turned away. Tull had to access the stage via a fire door from the car park, and couldn't go back on for an encore as they couldn't get through the crowd.
Six songs were played in a 40 min. set:
