  1. Tonight I played two hours of full court basketball. I scored a couple of off balance points and received some odd looks from fellow teammates. A couple of other guys patted me on the butt and that felt good too.

  2. .....Bill Krutzman...was the original drummer, and pretty good, I thought. Why they recruited a second drummer, Hart, and what he was up to - was strange to me...

    That type of stuff goes on all the time in the corporate world.

  3. I had "pit" seating for this show, meaning the first several rows in front of the stage were removed for standing room only. This works fine provided the area isn't oversold, which in this case it was. It was also learned after the fact that some Modest Mouse fans Photoshopped lawn seats to read as "Pit" seats so they could gain entrance to that area. It was so packed people couldn't move. Some people such as myself were even denied re-entry once we left the pit area and tried to return. So I paid in excess of 80 fucking dollars for fanclub seating only to be denied the privilege of being able to stand in the area I paid so much for. Great show but definitely an unpleasant experience on the seating front, one I hope I never have to repeat.

    Modest Mouse fans suck!! Springsteen has a pit section at his GA shows. My first preference is a seat ANY WHERE. If I am forced to buy GA, I don't even bother attempting to get into the pit. You get these self annointed dicks who maintain "lists" of first arrivals outside the venue. I find those people extremely irritating.

  4. Couple of three weeks ago there were a bunch of ELO posts. I'm finally getting around to posting my ticket stub. The good news is I have some of the older stubs on this site, the bad news is I am one of the older bags around here.

    This was a stellar show, long before the large arenas and elaborate stage gear. A small venue at William Paterson College in Wayne, NJ, just up the street from my home. This show....I Just Can't Get It Out of My Head....Eldorado..dorado..dorado..dorado.....

    Had my friend test his camera on me.

    Bad picture of me, blah blah I'm ugly, blah blah blah

    Are you serious? I would love to look like you. I'm always seeing good looking babes with similar looking men. I just always figured the guy must be a lot of fun to be around, funny, interesting, a good cook, low key, etc, etc.

  6. I wanna buy some Jethro DVD... What is your recommendation Jethro?

    Sadly, there is NO start to finish concert released. There is NO quality footage from the classic Tull line-ups of the Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick(1972), A Passion Play(1973) or War Child (1974 and 1975) tours. Can you believe it?? Let's add 1976, 1977 and 1978 in the mix too. There is some decent stuff from 76 and 77 on youtube. The 1970 Isle of Wite DVD was released a couple of years ago. I only own the audio and quite enjoy it, warts and all. Everything Tull seems to release on DVD gets spliced and diced with added commentary by band members injected in the middle of a song. Ian thinks it would be boring to watch a performance start to finish. Back to your question, I would stick to the 20 or 25 year anniversay collections and I'm not even sure if both are on DVD. I suspect they are not easy to get.

  7. Message to alwizard03 and dzldoc, Ian wore the red top hat in 1977 during the Songs From the Wood tour. Barrie Barlow wore a kilt. Regarding that tickets stub of al's, 1975 was the War Child tour. Here is a great video, probably posted before, but worth a second look.

    Three Nights of filming 1973 reviews or posted on the main site.Will have to post the other one when I get Home it is actually posted on the sight.

    Hey Al,

    Where you stationed in NYC when tickets for these shows went on sale? I attended the first night on Friday. My friend went to the Garden and bought 4 tickets. Tickets must have sold out in minutes.

    How on earth did you attend so many out of state shows?

    Thanks,

    JT

  9. which clips did you watch?

    I watched Kick Out the Jams, Rambling Rose and Looking at You. They were all excellent.

    I also watched a long version of Louie, Louie recorded in Stockholm in the early 70's. It was horrible and according to some of the comments, Wayne Kramer admitted being drunk during the performance.

    Did you know Handsome Dick Manitoba from The Dictators is currently touring with them (at least the ones that are left) and singing?

  10. Was surgery performed by Dr. Brogenbroom? If so, Ian's voice was shot in 1993 so the good doctor must've missed a few ties on the sutures.

    Since my username is a play on a Jethro Tull song I felt I needed to post in this thread.

    Thank you, and HELLO!

    Thanks Joel.

  11. Does he just not have his singing voice anymore? Thats why i just listen to the CD's now, you can't go wrong!!

    It's touch and go. Depends on the song. Somewhere around 1984 Ian's had some throat problems and his singing voice changed. Some say it's was due to years of cigarette/pipe smoking. Ian says it is in part due to playing the flute and it's impact on the vocal chords.

  12. I love listening to Tull, but I went watching them the other year in Liverpool and was soooo disappointed. I don't know if it was the sound system or his voice, but it was all up and down and no consistency. It hasn't made me not listen to them anymore, I think they are fantastic, I'm just not in a hurry to go and watch again...

    "Meanwhile back in the year, one......" Genius!

    It was the voice.
