The date was the 9th of October 1978. Jethro Tull was live at the Madison Square Gardens in New York USA, and the show was on BBC TV and in tandem with Radio One. I was nursing in a hospital near Hereford and living in the nurses home. A young female student nurse friend (purely platonic by the way, though I had gone out with her sister a few times) was with me in my room to watch the Bursting Out live concert. It was great to hear Jethro Tull in stereo while watching them live, and I recorded the concert on a cassette tape. Just across the border in Powys Wales, in the small village of Llangattock by the River Usk near the town of Crickhowell a young lady was celebrating her 18th birthday. This was the girl I met in March 1979 and who became my wife in the October of that year. Now whenever I listen to that tape I recorded of the concert, it brings back fond memories for me is the connection between my wife's birthday and Jethro Tull. My wife Jenny shares her birthday with John Lennon, another of my music legend heroes.

Great idea for a thread Whistler. Off the top of my head the most recent fond Tull memory for me happened six years ago when I linked up with fellow Tull fans and was able to talk Tull something that I hadn't been able to in the past as I didn't choose my friends in the correct way ie for the love of Tull By the way, I still have forty odd years of Tull wilderness to talk out.... edited check out the post numbers next to some of the Forum veterans

ha ha...I lost my virginity to the tune of less than two songs on side two of Aqualung ( no, Slipstream wasn't one of them).
