The night The Doors tore it up at the Alexandria Roller Rink Posted by Tom Jackman on June 20, 2013 at 5:03 am Read More: www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/local/wp/2013/06/20/the-night-the-doors-tore-it-up-at-the-alexandria-roller-rink/Many big-name rock bands passed through the Alexandria Roller Rink in the ’60s and ’70s — Janis Joplin, Jeff Beck, Jethro Tull — but maybe the hottest night was when The Doors came to town. The Doors pose with WPGC DJ Jack Alix, holding a copy of GO Magazine between his teeth, before The Doors’ show at the Alexandria Roller Rink on Aug. 18, 1967. Also pictured are members of the Blades of Grass and the Jackettes Go-Go Girls. The show is believed to be the only time that Jim Morrison, who graduated from George Washington High School in Alexandria, played in Alexandria.

More than 100,000 people crammed into the Devonshire Downs fairgrounds and racetrack in Northridge to hear Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, The Byrds, Marvin Gaye, Ike and Tina Turner and two dozen other bands and performers — many of them went on to Woodstock two months later. Today is the 44th anniversary of the opening Friday night when Hendrix played to a packed fairgrounds. His show went so poorly that he agreed to return on Sunday afternoon, leading to a jam session with Buddy Miles and others that's still talked about by rock fans (see video below)

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Throw Bottles At Gigs READ MORE: www.tonedeaf.com.au/news/international-news/316413/throw-bottles-gigs.htmAt a Jethro Tull concert in Madison Square Garden on October 12, 1979, a fan threw a rose onstage, and it hit Ian Anderson, wounding his eye with a thorn. The band was forced to cancel the next two shows while Anderson recovered. When he finally did return, Anderson appeared at subsequent concert dates wearing protective goggles. Great article about the dangers of playing in front of large crowds. Ian..."Damn Flower Power!"Funny; Damn Flower Power! Cheers!

For the tiny Tull mention & for the title... Music and brew tastings at "A Few Brews & A Banjo" Publishing 6/21/2013 www.plumasnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11168:music-and-brew-tastings-at-qa-few-brews-a-a-banjoq&catid=69:-headline-news&Itemid=6The current repertoire includes country-influenced music of all kinds with an emphasis on songs with funny and intelligent lyrics. Along with classic country tunes (like “Mama Tried” and “Folsom Prison Blues”), the band covers such alternative country artists as John Prine, Reckless Kelly, James McMurtry, The Bottle Rockets, Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo and Southern Culture on the Skids. There’s a fair amount of swampy rock material from icons like Bob Dylan, David Lindley, Jethro Tull and The Black Crowes — even Led Zeppelin — thrown in too.

If they change their name to 'A few jews and a banjo', they'd get more bar mitzvah gigs.

Black Sabbath Albums From Worst To Best Jun 21st '13 by Justin M. Norton @ 2:06pm Read more: www.stereogum.com/1379802/black-sabbath-albums-from-worst-to-best/list/The earliest versions of Sabbath were almost derailed when Iommi got an opportunity to play with Jethro Tull. He was poised for success — and even appeared in the Rolling Stones’ Rock N’ Roll Circus — but quickly decided that his future lay elsewhere. We’re all musically richer for Iommi’s decision to go his own direction, as he recounts in his biography Iron Man: After I came back from London I said to the rest of the band: if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it seriously and really work at it, starting with rehearsals at nine o’clock in the morning. Sharp! We booked a place in the Newtown Community Centre in Aston, across the road from a cinema, and started a whole new regime.

Deep Cuts, Progressive rock, Rock Music, Uncategorized — June 25, 2013 at 11:31 am Deep Cuts: Emerson Lake and Palmer’s “Take a Pebble,” “Endless Enigma,” “Affairs of the Heart,” others by Nick DeRiso Read more: somethingelsereviews.com/2013/06/25/deep-cuts-emerson-lake-and-palmers-take-a-pebble-endless-enigma-affairs-of-the-heart-others/“ENDLESS ENIGMA,” (TRILOGY, 1972): A three-part showcase for the compositional and improvisational abilities of Emerson Lake and Palmer, “Endless Enigma” holds so many musical wonders that it’s easy to become consumed with the work of Emerson and Lake. Emerson, after all, starts out spooky and dark, then rushes forward into a thunderous outburst while Lake — his vocal instrument at the peak of its powers — moves from sweet reverie to foundation-shaking retorts. And that’s just their co-written Part 1. Emerson then contributes a roughly two-minute fugue that joins the two segments, as “Endless Enigma” comes crashing to a resounding conclusion. Go back, though, and pay closer attention to Palmer. He’s just as adept at the stick-splintering crashes needed to propel the song to that big finish as he is the song’s angular jazz segments as he is the bass-drum heartbeat that opens “Endless Enigma” — years before the effect became central to albums like Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd and A Passion Play by Jethro Tull.

Interview: Robert Plant - Led Zeppelin’s Frontman is Heading Back to the Santa Barbara Bowl Wednesday, June 26, 2013 - By D.J. Palladino Read more: www.independent.com/news/2013/jun/26/interview-robert-plant/My first Robert Plant show was Led Zeppelin, August 1, 1969, at the Earl Warren Showgrounds here in Santa Barbara with Jethro Tull opening. Surely you must remember that show. I remember Jethro Tull. You know, the funny thing I remember was that they had this right-wing management team with this ironclad edict that no one from this band could fraternize with anyone from any other band. The bass player got fired because he came out and played with us after the show when we were out being boys. But God bless Ian Anderson. So can we look forward to a return engagement: Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull can play Santa Barbara in 2019? I’ll book the hall. Wouldn’t it be nice? But I think it would be better if Ian Anderson catered it — we could have salmon, because he has a salmon farm now. Bless him, I shouldn’t tease him for being so British and absurd. I think we’re all absurd in a way and blowing our own horns. I think that’s what it’s all about, blowing your own horn.

Rush savoring renewed street cred BY JEFF ELBEL June 26, 2013 4:28PM southtownstar.suntimes.com/entertainment/music/20967080-421/rush-savoring-renewed-street-cred.htmlNot so long ago, Rush was the Rodney Dangerfield of rock ‘n’ roll. Industry and media famously gave the Canadian power trio no respect, frequently offering either a blind eye or mocking criticism. The band’s challenging progressive rock, however, did receive ample love from an intensely loyal core audience. “We’ve been very fortunate to have such a supportive fan base,” vocalist and bassist Geddy Lee says. “They have enabled us to carry on for so many years, despite largely being ignored by the mainstream.” Another factor in Rush’s vindication is persistence. The group released its debut album in 1974. Its 19th, “Clockwork Angels,” arrived in 2012. “We’ve continued to be a working band,” Lee says. “That makes whatever success we’ve gotten over the years feel very good. We feel like we’ve worked hard to achieve it.” After 15 years of eligibility, Rush (which plays Tinley Park on June 28) was inducted in spring into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Although many fans cried foul during the long wait, Lee was pragmatic. “It’s one of those things that’s out of your control,” he says. That doesn’t mean Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart didn’t relish it when it finally happened. “As Neil said in his acceptance speech, we didn’t make a big deal of it all those years,” Lee says. “But when we got there, it sure felt like a big deal.” Heartfelt responses to the honor were crowned by Lifeson, who managed to give a touching speech while speaking only the words “blah blah blah.” Lee and Peart were as surprised as anyone. “I wish he would’ve warned us,” Lee says, laughing. “We could have thought it was planned, as opposed to feeling like maybe he was losing his marbles.” The moment spoke volumes about Rush. The band’s renowned musical proficiency and heady subjects have always been balanced by humor approaching slapstick silliness. During the Time Machine Tour in 2010, Rush performed its defining song, “Tom Sawyer.” As the trio dug into the difficult arrangement and sang about steadfast individualism, three chimpanzees mimed the song on a video screen. “Left to our own devices, our ideas are usually pretty goofy,” Lee says, describing Rush’s multimedia presentation. “It seemed a shame to not share that goofiness with our fans, who have obviously come to love it.”
“I remember when I first saw Jethro Tull, many years ago,” Lee says. “They used humor in their show. People have this image of prog rock as being deadly serious. If you can poke fun at yourself while you’re doing it, I think it helps.”On the musical front, however, the “Clockwork Angels” album is a formidable mixture of rigorous rock and Peart’s lofty lyrics. Lee says that credibly balancing story and music wasn’t easy. “Trying to make a concept album not feel like an outdated thing was foremost in my mind,” he says. “Neil was really hung up on doing a modern version of [Voltaire’s] ‘Candide,’ ” Lee says, describing an updated, futuristic story about someone raised to believe all is for the best. As the story concludes, its once-optimistic protagonist surveys a lifetime of loss and misadventure. “As in ‘Candide,’ the main character is naive and foolish,” Lee says. “But in the end, he realizes what a crazy, fantastic journey his life has been. He’s left with the residue of what’s important about life.” Jeff Elbel is a local freelance writer.

Looking at the competition I believe Tull should win with Alice Cooper coming in second. Neil Young a strong 3rd.

I'd go: Tull, Neil, Allmans, Alice...the rest are beneath consideration...Joni cuz she's not classic rock, nor is T Rex really...CCR and Steve Miller because they suck eggs.
