Not too old to Rock-n-Roll and way too young to die!

This is the first concert I ever went to in 1976. It was back in the day of full day festival concerts and there were 4 bands and the famous "Tullavision". I was with a boy I really liked and was so nervous I refused to eat in front of him! I was huge Tull fan then, and after many years and many more concerts I am still a huge Tull fan. I thought I was going to miss this tour as I will be in Kansas on business while they are here in San Diego, but my wonderful husband booked tickets and a room in Indio, CA the day after I return. I have followed this group and it's main man Ian Anderson since the tender young age of 15. Athough the huge hair is gone and he like the rest of us have added many years; he still rocks and can bust a move on one leg whilst playing the flute. The venues are much more intimate and he frequently brings on young local talent to play with him on state. Think he can use a middle aged fan with a pink electric violin? HA! Any other Tull fans out there? Can I get an Amen Sistah'? Any please share with the rest of us, memories of your first concert!

Never heard of them but It sounds fun to follow them around a bit. I think he should definately bring you on stage! That would be fun! I was stopping by to see if you had recieved your Beachcombing sap package yet? I mailed it July 22nd. Talk to you soon!

I am so envious! I love Tull. I killed my casset of Aqualung because I played it over and over and over. Ian Anderson is such an awesome performer. Like you said, anyone who can play the flute, stand on one leg, sing and interact with the crowd is amazing.

I'm sad I didn't see this post back in July. Passion Play was my very first concert! I was 15 years old and it was quite an eye opener. I didn't even know what that funny smelling cigarette was that was being passed around. LOL
