And what a find! great and groovy articles - I will take great pleasure in posting all Tull/Ian Anderson related material sifting through such gems as;
1969
" Jimmy Page, who has a strong fear of earthquakes
when touring the States, read that the safest
place to be in case of a tremor was in a bath,
because the pipes and suchlike hold the bath
upright even if the walls cave in. So his Led
Zeppelin room mates are barred from using the
motel bathrooms on their current US tour, as
Jimmy wants to be sure of a quick cop out
Which must make them the smelliest group in
America...."

ROADIES
The sad Fairport Convention accident this week
brought home to many people the fact that an
incredible amount of resilience and understanding
is expected of Road Managers. Schlepping up
and down the Motorways and lugging bloody
great heaps of equipment around tiny stages
and up steep staircases is far from being an
easy life. We hope that this will be remembered
during the following weeks, should police action
ensue.
"TULL TAKES IT
Jethro Tull were far and away the most exciting
act at the Chrysalis Concert on Thursday May 8
at the Albert HalL. Ian Anderson looked and
indeed almost performed like a hairy ballet
dancer, moving about the stage with a kind of
staccato grace and blowing a very throaty
flute. In fact his stage act, full of witty intro-
ductions and Groucho Marx-like asides to the
audience, proved that progressive music doesn't
have to be presented in an atmosphere of moody
sullenness. Tull's music relies heavily on the
flute since Mick Abraham's departure and I
hope that in months to come the band will be
able to introduce new sounds and avoid stagna-
tion but right now they swing, as the enthusiasm
of the Albert's audience showed..."
