Jen you must've read this from the same site that I did. I have been checking the setlist on another site (ministry-of-information) but it hasn't been updated yet. I would tend to believe this one for accuracy. Google Jethro Tull setlist and click the link.

This is what they'll be playing when I go along:
1 warchild 2 crazed institution 3 big riff and mando 4 warm sporran 5 the whistler 6 up to me 7 rocks on the road 8 sossity 9 fallen on hard time 10 roll yer own 11 requiem 12 queen and country 14 paradise steakhouse 15 harry's bar 16 orion 17 moths 18 strange avenues
Now that would be worth seeing! And that could be just one of a hundred interesting set lists. It makes you realise how many great songs there are so why is it that the same 5% of songs have made up the bulk of the set list for years.

This set list leaves me feeling ....... I am beginning to doubt the wisdom of attending one show let alone three.
Increasingly frustrated with Ians lack of creativity

Just got in from the Oxford show, wow, I loved it. It was better than the 40th anniversary show, I think for 2 reasons:
(1) John O'Hara and David Goodier have a much better stage presence now. (2) The set-list better suited Ians' voice.
With the vast body of work Tull have generated over the years, the lack of new material didn't seem to matter so much. Anyway, this is what they played:
(1) Dun Ringill. (2) The Water Carrier. (3) Life Is A Long Song. (4) Eurology. (5) Nothing Is Easy. (6) New Day Yesterday. (7) Songs From The Wood. (8) Fatman. (9) Bouree. (10) Too Old To Rock........ (11) Birthday Card At Christmas. (12) A Change of Horses. (13) A track from Martins' solo album A Trick Of Memory, I think it's called Bug. (14) Budapest. (15) Aqualung. (16) Locomotive Breath as an encore.
The support act was Saori Jo, now she is megga talented, joined for a couple of her songs by Tull. The place was packed, but the crowd was a bit restrained - for Gods' sake people, let yourself go.
All 5 of them played superbly and there was excellent on-stage humour, especially when Doane came to the front to bash his bongoes for The Water Carrier.
One ever so slightly sour note was that the anti-photograph theatre police were on patrol - "Oy you, don't use flash" - last few times at the same theatre never been a problem. If what I took is any good, they'll be posted here in the fullness of time.
Ians' guitar lead packed up part way through Budapest - handled with great humour and the balloons are back.

Glad to hear about O'Hara and Goodier that stood out a bit last year - or not if you see what I mean Was it a good crowd? Any support? Thanks for posting Broadsword

That setlist looks like fun to me....2 minutes ago I posted on another thread that SFTW might get the full song treatment like HH did two years ago....okay, I'm not God anymore...but maybe a minor prophet?

What I find disappointing about that set list is that there isn't anything to surprise or delight the long term fan. I'm sure the show will be enjoyable and expertly performed, as usual, but I just wish Ian would slip in the occasional leftfield choice....something that hasn't been played live for a very long time, perhaps, or a complete reworking of a very familiar song that's been played to death on recent tours. And I know that Ian thinks Aqualung and Locomotive Breath have to be included in the setlist - I don't agree, but if they've got to be in, don't play 'em as the last 2 songs for the millionth time! Open the show with one of 'em! Play the other one in the middle! Mix it up a bit!

I think on one hand it's tricky on the other - simple If, say, your a new fan and instructed to listen to Tull prior to the concert you would want to hear Loco/Aqua. If you are a returnee you crave to hear Loco/Aqua. If you are a slightly jaded regular fan and your fed up you should take a break for a year. It must be easier to compile a set list if your a new band starting out all you have to do is present your music to a new audience whereas if your a veteran band who isn't coming out of retirement you have a wider range of audience to cater for.

Ian should visit a Fairport Convention gig. The setlist for this year´s winter tour saw 2 new songs, a lot of re-arrangements of old songs and a surprise for Matty Groves, a song they have to play every night. During the last 20 years Matty became - hmmm - strange. Sometimes funky, sometimes heavy metal, somtimes reaggae, you never knew what was coming. And this year? Straight into the song, no intro, just the classical Matty. I did not hear that version in 22 years.
I wish I could see a Tull gig without Aqualung and Loco, but I understand that I am in a minority and most fans expect the songs to be played at the end of the show. So I go to the toilet when it comes to this songs, because there is no queue during that time of the evening ;D

I'm not sure I agree with you. When I first got into Tull, Aqua/Loco were never my favourite songs. They were enjoyable, but weren't representative of why Tull seemed to be a band I could really grow to love. I'm sure that there are plenty of newcomers to the band who, for example, are much more interested in the folkier side of Tull than the AOR, rockier side and can take or leave Aqua/Loco. Anyway, either way, if those songs HAVE to be played, why do they have to be played as the last song/encore? For example, I'd be thrilled to hear the Aqualung riff as the 1st thing in a Tull concert.

Personally I think I'm spolit by being a Springsteen fan - which means every concert has a different set list and although a few standards like Born to Run and Badlands will always feature, you never quite no wear. Of course, being 3 hour concerts helps too.
I don't think the current Tull set list is all that bad but I would like to see a couple of 'surprises' for the long time fans (and let's face it, how many people will be going to see them for the first time? It's not as though there's a new album out attracting a new generation of fans!) and for the last 25 minutes not to be almost always exactly the same. Play Budapest, Loco Breathe and Aqualung by all means. But not always as the last 3 songs of the set!

Personally, I would like to see Tull touring on the back of a new album and I would like to hear at least 7 songs from that new album, 5 songs from the last 5 albums and then perhaps 2-5 songs from the classic era.
If you look at a Tull audience 80% of them are old farts who have been following the band forever. Why Ian continues to ignore his fan base in favour of the 20% of under 30's who might like to hear Aqualung is beyond me. Its not as if Aqualung is that big a deal anyway, I mean in terms of success. I bet if you survey 100 random people in the street only 1% might have heard the band Jethro Tull let alone the song Aqualung.

the first few songs are what ian openned his fall acoustic tour with. how many of us would prefer wind up to breath? i for one wouldn't miss aqualung either. also only 14 songs? i imagine the setlist won't change much when they come to the states but i hope it will. i am planning to attend the ny show because you never know when ian will pull the plug on tull tours but this set is too close to the solo tour last fall.
