  1. Ahhh, here it is. Summer of 1978 at the age of 22. How many accountants do you know with longish hair and shaded eyeglasses? That's my somewhat older cousin on the right in our backyard. The shaded eyeglasses, they came in handy or so I thought.

  2. Gee, scanning stuff can be a bit tricky. Anyway this should be a better glimpse of my Who tix. There was a lot of demand for the 1976 show. You had to mail a SASE containing a money order to a P.O. Box in NYC. Some people mailed theirs directly across the street from the post office. Sure enough, my envelope came a day or two later - UNOPENED. I repacked it and mailed it in a second time. My thought was that they were just trying to clear out the post office from the deluge of requests. Not a great seat but I made it. The original show was cancelled due to Keith Moon issues. The actual show was I think the next day. It's on the Who's official site (or somewhere else).

  3. OK Mr Tull. Do you have a list of dates of his concerts? I saw him in the 70s in Rochester NY. Do you have a record of the date? It was fabulous. I am quite sure it was late 70's, 99% sure. But perhaps it could have been early 80s but I really dont think so. I believe it was between 75 and 80. I have been to so many concerts it is unimaginable. But I can only remember certain yrs and dates. How could anyone not remember when they saw Led Zeppelin? And Im surprized at myself for not remembering the exact dates of the Rolling stones (75 and after Some Girls) and the Who Indoors in Buffalo. Saw them outdoors in Toronto also but indoors was acoustically superior.Tull was ON the night I saw him. Never saw anyone play the flute like that, just as I never saw anyone play the keyboards quite like Emerson.

    His? Him? What does that mean? Quit being stupid.

    The internet is a beautiful thing. Learn how to use google!! You'd be surpised at the number of bands whose tour dates are listed somewhere. NO, I, I, I, I DON'T HAVE A LIST OF TOUR DATES. Tull dates are at http://www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/. I've mentioned this site several time already. Get with it.

  4. My first concert in 1972. I was going with two friends. One friend (the driver) didn't like the other and bailed out. My father drove me and the other friend down the shore to see a 10 pm ELP show. My sister came for the ride and hung out with dad during the show. It was Asbury Park so there was plenty to do.

    I'm sorry about these scans, tinypic is very slow and I tried something diff. I'l get it fixed.

  5. What would you say is the best live tull you have ever heard

    I would have to say in 1973 A Passion Play and in 1975 War Child. I went to two shows on each tour. I've been to other great shows, but I love the old days with bassist Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond. Jeffrey really wasn't a musician, he was a childhood friend of Ian's and quit the band in 1975 to pursue his love of painting.

  6. About 40 fans were invited to the XM Satellite studios in DC for this live Aqualung event. I was there. Image Tull playing in your living room. Too bad the resulting CD didn't sound as good.

  7. Here's a couple of really good ac dc shows .One with Bon Scott one with Brian Johnson AC DC Rocks.

    My Favorite lp is Back in Black and my favorite song is You shook me all night long

    after that Whole lotta Rosie .I just love that a guy as old as Angus can look decent wearing those shorts and he never slows down.

    You have a great collection of ticket stubs. If I have time, I'll post more of mine tonight.

    I've always enjoyed AC/DC. I enjoy bands with a bit of a stage gimmick(for lack of a better word). That schoolboy persona works.

  8. Managed to get a few million more ticket stubs and pictures scanned into my photobucket so heres a few more of my Tull tickets

    I'm having some trouble scanning my Shea Stadium ticket. Go you YOUTUBE and search on Tull Tampa. You will find some great video from that show.

  10. If there's anyone here attempting to force their own rules on people, it's YOU. Show a little respect and put a lid on it already.

    Don't tell me about respect. You're the one always swearing at people in your posts. Plus, your avatar appears to be directly towards everybody on this board. Plus, I've noticed you always have to get the last word in with the numerous fights you get into here.

    BTW, I cut and pasted an article about the death of a singer. I'm not on here constantly cutting and pasting articles that I can just as easily read on www.allmusic.com.
