In 1976 just as the Too Old to Rock n Roll LP was being released in America, Tull were coming off a brief European tour. This tour was very different from the 1976 USA Tour which followed.
As PaulHartXYZ points out
This would be the last time Ian wore the famous minstrel outfit.
(The USA 76 “Tullavision” tour saw Ian with the blue motocross suite,
and for the first time sporting a much shorter haircut.)
For the Thick as a Brick opener, Ian wore a short silver jacket over his Minstrel outfit.
The setlist was dramatically different from the American tour, or any other tour for that matter.
Songs were played that were never played before or ever again. Rainbow Blues, Chequered Flag, Big Dipper, Quizz Kid, Requiem etc..to name a few
The last show of this tour was in Madrid, Spain.
The existing circulated but rare video footage from this show is silent and very scattered
For some reason takes are not in any kind of order, chronological or otherwise.
From what we can gather this is 8mm footage but also A pro-shot Spanish TV feed, taped off a TV screen in 1976.
Trying to make it even youtube watchable, I cut every take and then started piecing them back as I could. while adding sound.
What turned out is just a string of quick clips (some are very brief) for those who are interested.
Somewhere out there is a pro recording of this concert.
Until we find it, here’s a very small preview.
Thanks to Pete for the upgrades and to PaulHartXYZ for bringing awarness to this show.
