And these came in the mail today!
You're going through quite a phase!!

Sure you didn't mean to post those in this thread?
Yeah, I think he did. I knew exactly where your link was going.

Question....Will Southern Rock ever experience a resurgence in popularity? It seems to be plodding along with it's core of fans, but will it ever return to it's 70's heyday?

Almost forgot I had this.

I'm seeing them in a few weeks - I'll let you know. I slightly disagree with the other poster though; whilst Ian's voice isn't what it was (although it does vary depending on how long he's been on the road) and live they are a different proposition these days (most gigs are pretty much 'unplugged' and usually have guest artists -violinists etc - on stage most of the time) I do still enjoy seeing them. I certainly wouldn't advise for you not to see them - as long as you aren't expect them to be as they were. It'll be interesting to see what they do for this 40th tour though - no violinists on this tour, and hopefully Martin will get the chance to plug in an electric guitar or two.
As I've stated before, Ian sounds better on the early blues based tunes. So that could be good on this 40th anniv. tour. I saw them last in Oct. 2005 and just grew tired of hearing Bouree for the 30th time. Although John Evan(keyboards) and Jeffrey Hammond(bass) from the classic lineup no longer play their respective instruments, it would be nice for Ian to bring them along on the tour and let them introduce the band or something else the fans would appreciate.

cool, thanks for all the pictures. as I said before, Google only shows the CD release versions of the TAAB cover, but I think I can crop that label from the 8-Track that someone posted. Thanks.
I do have another question though, concerning Jethro Tull's summer tour. This is the 40th Anniversary tour, and according to the band's website they'll be doing mostly material from the first 3 or 4 albums. I've never heard Tull live, but have heard they've basically been doing the standard "greatest hits" deal for the past few decades. They're coming pretty close to where I live and I was wondering if anyone thinks they'd be playing good enough to warrant grabbing a ticket and sacrificing a chance to see a couple other bands I like. I figure 40th Anniversary tours only come once, but I'd hate to get to the show and have it be a rather mediocre affair... glad to hear what anyone thinks.
Don't go. Ian's voice is questionable. It IS tempting to hear songs from the first 3-4 LP's, but some of those songs will be converted into instrumentals. What is being called Jethro Tull today, is Ian, Martin and a revolving list of people you've never heard of. It's a sad state of affairs. Oh, the flute is usually more prominent in the mix than the ELECTRIC GUITAR. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I'm just trying to keep it real. BTW, I'm not going.

Here, let me help.

For your sake, I think I'll start referring to them as "movements" instead of just parts. Hopefully, you're scheduled for one sometime before this weekend.
That's better. I was about to place you on my "permanent ignore" list, but your funny post changed my mind.
But you're wrong Steve....You see, it's only solitaire.I KNEW that was the Stevie you were talking about!!
-
A raving Internet lunatic ?
Please....allow me to appease your constant analness on this beautiful Friday morning.....
or perhaps this will unclench your sphincter.....
You and Stevie should get a room.
Sorry, but this was your original post.....TWO SONGS. Please don't quote and then change your original posts, that is troll behavior.
Heh....Well that's a Friday morning flashback. Thanks to my brother, that 8 track was sitting next to the bed when I was 12. With 4 seperate tracks to share two songs, that album didn't lend itself to the 8 track format very well. fade-out....*click*....fade-in. Where's my matchbook ?
-
Actually, one song with two parts.....and irrelevant now, due to bonus tracks.
It is ONE song. ONE, UNO. If you have some bizarre need to split it into parts based on the format it was released in, THAT is your problem. What do bonus tracks have to do with with any of this? Jesus, I'm starting to sound like _ _ _ _ _ _.

Correction...TAAB was one song (as was the follow-up, A Passion Play).

Done know if Ive ever heard anyone mentin Ian Gillians portrayal of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar the album. Back in the 70s. Fabulous job in my opinion.
I've thought about it, but was keeping it a secret.

The woman next door hasn't worked in about 7 years. Her hubby makes big bucks. No children. Neither of them lift a finger inside or outside the house. I come home from WORK for lunch every day and ran into her a couple of weeks ago. She started complaining to me about how "there aren't enough hours in the day". Yeah, there aren't enough hours to shop. I wanted to kick her. It put me in a weird mood for the rest of the day. She one of those people who NEVER listens and is always babbling on about HER life.

Here's one that I like much better than the others:
That is an excellent photo of you!! Nice glasses too.

I went to see the Moody Blues this past Monday the 17th, really good show, I was really impressed, and very annoyed at a woman sitting in front of me, who was sitting looking bored shitless not clapping or getting into the music or anything, I am standing up clapping and shouting, and she turns around and tells me my shouting is hurting her ears, I looked at her and told her I was at a rock concert, not a nursing home!
You sound like a class act yourself. You were "annoyed", because somebody wasn't acting the way you wanted them to act.

love Tull. one of my favorite albums has to be Thick As A Brick. but one thing i've never liked about it is how the cover art seems to change with every release. I'd love be able to put the original cover art for TAAB on my iPod, but have only been able to find one picture of the original art online, and it's a pretty beat up cover. if anyone could point me to a decent pic, that would be really cool.
Have you tried a Google image search on "Thick as a Brick"?

It wasn't a bad LOL, just so you know.
I felt that I needed to clarify that.
I knew that and actually thought the Garth comment was quite funny.
-
LOL
Actually, that other picture that you posted with you and the LP, I thought you looked a little like Garth. ROFL. I was wondering if Mr. Lipitz was the guy in the record store, LOL.
Your recent pictures prove you're not a bad lookin' guy.
Thanks for the compliments and I'm glad you got several LOL's out of my pictures.

Summer of 2004 in Venice, Italy. Or was it Las Vegas?

Tully looks more like Dana Carvey. No?
That is SOOO funny. THAT picture is from 1978. In the past 3-4 years I've had so many people tell me I look like Dana it is not even funny. I'll post a a recent picture soon.

I discovered this American chocolate maker a few years ago. It's gourmet, expensive and extremely good. They are based in Chicago and have chocolate lounges at various locations.
The link has been fixed.

Hey, check out Jack Hicko playing Tull on Youtube. There are loads of his Tull songs on Youtube, plus he is expanding into Van Halen and others.
Post A Picture Of Yourself!
