Rubbing Elbows tour ... at the end of the show Kazoo's were passed out to varies attendees to "play along" with Locomotive Breath. My question is, were the kazoos labeled "Jethro Tull" or anything? If so, I am going to hunt one down for my collection or were they just generic non-labeled kazoos?

I seem to remember quite generic. plastic kazoos....the kind you but ten for a buck for birthday party grab bags. The popped balloons were great keepsakes and Doane was pretty good about tossing drum sticks but I'm afraid Ian didn't invest in heirloom kazoos. They were yellow and green, in case someone tries to sell you one !

Ian Anderson Rubbing Elbows at Los Angeles Ford Theatre September 29, 2003. The setlist includes seven pieces from Ian's recent album Rupi's Dance (RD) and two from Jethro Tull's soon to be released Christmas Album.
The band is Ian Anderson vocals flute, John O'Hara keyboards accordion, Kit Morgan guitar, David Goodier bass, James Duncan drums. Jim Ladd from KLOS is the mc.
Ian Anderson takes patter to a new level - By Ernesto Lechner Los Angeles Times OCT. 1, 2003: Anybody who has seen Jethro Tull in concert knows the venerable British group has a frustrated stand-up comedian in leading man Ian Anderson. Through the years, the singer-songwriter-flutist’s notoriously crass onstage behavior and extended storytelling sessions have provided eccentric counterpoint to the group’s flavorful fusion of heavyish classic rock and lilting Celtic folk. A mixture of unplugged concert and imaginary radio show, Anderson’s latest solo tour -- which stopped at the Ford Amphitheatre on Monday -- attempts to take the singer’s narrative talents a step further.
Titled “Rubbing Elbows,” the show is moderated by a different radio personality in each stop (in this case, KLOS-FM’s Jim Ladd) and includes Q&A; sessions with the crowd, appearances by surprise musical guests and plenty of opportunities for Anderson to indulge in his fixation with jokes about the male anatomy. When he wasn’t shocking the audience (and, most notably, a visibly flustered Ladd) with his barrage of increasingly racy innuendo, Anderson performed a handful of semi-acoustic tunes, backed by a younger -- and somewhat under-rehearsed -- band. Anderson deserves credit for wanting to disrupt the status quo of the standard concert format. But after a while, the forced jokes and insipid questions had you pining for more of Anderson’s better-known achievement -- namely, his music. Time has been surprisingly kind to the Tull repertoire, particularly those songs that draw heavily from traditional English idioms. Performed early in the evening, the bewitching “Life Is a Long Song” was a stunning reminder of Anderson’s ability to place his Dionysian persona aside and conjure up moments of deeply affecting beauty.
