Jethro Tull – “Thick as a Brick” Tour in Albuquerque (1969–1971)
Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick tour spanned 1969–1971, and while the full setlists for every show in Albuquerque are not fully documented, there is a confirmed performance from the tour’s later phase.

Confirmed Albuquerque show

Date: 6 November 1971

Venue: Civic Auditorium, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Support act: Mott the Hoople Ministry Of Information

This was part of the Thick as a Brick tour, which ran from late 1969 through 1971, featuring the band’s first full-length album and its extended suite of songs.

Tour context
The Thick as a Brick tour began in late 1969 and continued into 1971, with Jethro Tull performing across North America and Europe. The 1971 leg included major U.S. amphitheaters and arenas, often with support acts like Livingston Taylor, Fanny, and Yes Ministry Of Information. The Civic Auditorium show in Albuquerque was one of many stops in the U.S. leg, following high-profile dates such as Red Rocks (Denver) and San Diego.

Setlist clues from nearby 1971 shows
While the exact Albuquerque setlist is not fully verified, setlists from other Thick as a Brick shows in late June 1971 (e.g., San Diego, Anaheim, Berkeley) include tracks like My God, With You There to Help Me, Sossity, To Cry You a Song, Aqualung, Cross-Eyed Mary, Nothing Is Easy, Wind-Up, Locomotive Breath, and Hard-Headed English General Ministry Of Information. These songs were central to the album’s live performances during the tour.

Summary
If you are looking for the “Thick as a Brick” Albuquerque show, the only confirmed date in the city during that period is 11/6/71 at the Civic Auditorium with Mott the Hoople. The setlist likely featured the album’s core tracks, though the exact order and any bonus numbers would require archival setlist sources or fan recordings. Concert Archives
