I was in front row, on the side of the stage. I remember he sweated on me.

But not as impressive as when I was side stage at Who concert. Townsend cut is hand on the strings and I got bled on.

That's why I don't go to concerts no more. I can't afford the laundry bill - that, and my hearing ain't too good from going to all those concerts and sitting in front of speakers. I know I lost hearing in front of speakers at The Who in Hampton, Va.

And being that close to Ian Anderson! Tull and the Who - timeless music. Thanks!

Rodney Dangerfield.

Several concerts, I would be in the first or second row and Annie Liebowitz would be in the pit, taking hundreds of photos.n She hand a bandolier of film canisters which means she took about 500 photos of each concert.

Thanks 3HotDogs! (I hope she didn't sweat or bleed on you.)

...at the biggest high school in the city where I grew up.
'74 or '75. I was in college at the time.
They were as good as I expected them to be.
We had backstage passes, but when we got there we realized we had left them at home. Since we were in, we no longer had the ticket to get in. So, out of luck
That was dumb, huh?

We remembered the tickets, just forgot the passes.
I usually remember the opening acts, but I don't remember who opened for Tull.

That album was epic.
Every song is great. No weak links.
The studio version of this has one of most underrated guitar solos ever.
It's melodic; it builds as it goes; forms a cogent thought. Plus it's executed flawlessly & it was a first take.
Fun Tull Fact: Martin Barre, the guitarist, played flute, just like Ian. The internal agreement was Ian was better at flue, Martin was better at guitar (especially lead), so they stayed in their respective lanes for the good of the band.
But, on some rough demos, Martin played a flute solo, but then passed the baton to Ian for the album.

Together, rounded out by the others, the band made memorable music. "Wond'ring Aloud" is one of my favorites.

Thanks Professor!

...I'm very partial to this one.
I love the way the song builds layers as it goes.
BTW: the sing actually starts at around 28 seconds
