Some claim that the band spent 4 days in Knoxville, TN rehearsing the new material, while others claim (with inconsistency) that Jethro Tull concerts were performed and attended. Great confusion exists regarding the next 10 days in Tull history. The next night's show in Maryland was cancelled because the equipment truck broke down. Since the show did not start until 10pm, “A Passion Play” was omitted from the set. The next night in Clemson, SC the equipment truck arrived late and so the soundcheck was performed in front of the audience. Later in the show, the “Hare” film was shown out of context but broke down, as it did on May 30th in Toronto. On May 4th, the performance began in Evansville, Indiana with the opening “Lifebeats” but the accompanying film was not shown. Tull fans then looked to the start of the US tour for the first performance of the new material. The new tour with “A Passion Play” was supposed to begin on April 28th 1973 at the Wembley Empire Pool but this two-night booking was cancelled, despite sold out shows.
