Jethro Tull

larsman,

My wife and I saw them at the Paramount several years ago. I believe it was some sort of anniversary tour. Ian’s voice may not have been the same as the 1970’s but I’m such a fan that it didn’t matter. They played the hits, like "Thick As A Brick" and "Aqualung", so I was happy. In my earlier post, I neglected to mention "Songs From The Wood". That one is also a favorite! That concert at the Paramount was about fifteen years ago, so I'm guessing it was their 40th Anniversary or maybe their 50th since forming in the 1960's.

@tonykay - Thanks, Tony; I didn't know if this was something recent or a stop at a theater like that in their heyday, 'cause I sure would have liked to have seen that! I did see them a number of times; once at a pop festival in MD in '69 when Mick Abrahams was still with the band, and also the classic lineup on the 'Aqualung' tour, the 'Thick as a Brick' tour, and the 'Passion Play' tour. 

larsman,

Thanks for looking in. I was a fan when "This Was" first came out in the late 60's. I had just gotten my first apartment, and my neighbors were big Tull fans who took pictures at their concert and gave me one. Then I heard "Stand Up" and liked it so much I bought the album with the pop-up centerfold. Obviously, I have nearly all of their albums, even the later ones (after Minstrel in the Gallery) but the ones I still listen to are the earlier ones. I named them in my earlier posts. Thinking back, I think it was the "Passion Play" album that ended my automatic purchase of every Tull album. I still don't get that one. Maybe I just need to listen one more time LOL.

P.S. I liked the Tull albums so much that I have many Mobile Fidelity issues in LP and CD. I recently bought an MF "Original Mastering Recording" LP of "Aqualung" at an antique store for $100. Yikes! But, it does sound amazing.

I saw him twice on Long Island. Been a,big fan of Jethro Tull...have a,lot of there albums and cds.Yeah really Ian Anderson and backup band.But I like there,stuff.
