Christopher Bishop replaced Holman on bass as of the 1973 release Spring Suite. Some of their music ventured into avante-garde or experimental territory, such as "God Bless the Conspiracy" from their album 3, with its violin/viola/synthesizer solo by Dreyfuss. Steve Anderson (bass and vocals) and Alan Stoker (drums and vocals) were added for the "Live at the Beachland" 2007 release. In addition, Dave Morrison (harmonica) also played on the live album. In the summer of 2010, Christopher Bishop (bass and vocals) rejoined the group for the recording of 5 songs for "McKendree Spring: Recording No. 9". This recording also featured Alan Stoker (drums/percussion/vocals), Paul Hollowell (keys) and Fred Mollin (synth).

Place I first saw Tull, three days after Lincoln, NE. gig. They also played there the next night ( I went to work and have yet to forgive myself) and the year before on Brick tour. Denver was skipped in '75 and when Tull finally returned, in 1976, it was to a newer place, built for sports events and concerts, not rodeos and stock shows like the Coliseum,,,which was near the railroad tracks and stockyards and smelled like cow offload. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/DenverColiseum.JPG |

16 May 1973
Cambria County War Memorial
Johnstown, Pa. USA Support: Brewer and Shipley. Three PA failures interrupted 'Thick As A Brick'. Circus magazine and three audience members claim this was 7 May, but three other audience members with specific memories, one also with a ticket stub dated 7/5/73, confirm otherwise. There is no doubt that there was a concert in Johnstown; this is the most likely date, but unconfirmed. Featured the 'A Passion Play' masks and possibly the 'Lifebeats' film, but 'A Passion Play' itself wasn't performed. Thick As A Brick, Cross-Eyed Mary, Left Right, Audition, Aqualung, Wind Up, Instrumental, No Rehearsal, Locomotive Breath, Hard-Headed English General , Wind-Up (reprise) www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambria_County_War_Memorial_Arena

Not a venue picture...but an anniversary...41 years ago today, 2-6-75, I saw my best Tull concert ever, in El Paso, Texas.....a ballsy road trip, 700 miles due south of my home in Denver, in a broken car during a winter snowstorm.
Didn't know till years later that the El Paso gig was shoe-horned inbetween the first three nights and the addedd extra 2 nights of the famous LA Forum run that set attendance records and produced Supercharged bootleg. Very peak moments for Tull and 17 year old me.

 Ian and the band visited London's Capital Radio on numerous occasions when it was situated at their original studios in Euston, mainly for publicity purposes but also mini concerts such as the one they did on the Richard Digance show back in 1980. Capital Radio is now housed in studios in Leicester Square and are only a shadow of their former self imo.  |

www.barkinganddagenhampost.co.uk/Dagenham Roundhouse relaunch prompts Led Zeppelin memories15:00 05 February 2016 Iain Burns linkLed Zeppelin, Taste, Free, Jethro Tull, Queen, Thin Lizzy – we all know the list of era-defining bands to have played the Roundhouse. But to mark its rebirth as a major music venue after a recent change of management, one music-lover who saw the pub in its ‘70s prime has spoken of his memories. Stuart McCreddie, 61, said he recalls his first visit in 1970 to see a then-obscure band. “It was a Saturday night, the night after the unknown Led Zeppelin had been on a TV show called How Late It Is. “They said this band would be the new Rolling Stones – so me and my friend decided to go and see them. “It was just a spectacular performance – one I will never forget. The Roundhouse is the equivalent of the Cavern in Liverpool.” Many years later, Stuart met the band’s guitarist, Jimmy Page, and mentioned 1970. “He of course remembered the gig as it was one of their early appearances,” he said. jethrotull.proboards.com/post/58960

This is a great thread Mr Dog. I love popping in the morning at seeing your new posts. Colston Hall Bristol is the venue I have seen Tull/IA the most times. Started going through Ministry website to find out exactly how many times Ive been. - brought back some great memories. Also (as previously mentioned) some right dodgy ones - Newport Centre, Hereford Leisure Centre, Dome Doncaster and that truely dreadful Swindon Leisure Centre to name a few. Keep up the great work - really appreciated. PS. Colston Hall refurbishment is top notch. PPS Capitol Theatre Cardiff was apparently a great venue although I was obviously too young too see Tull there!! (That wasn't a hint) |

The Beatles' last live U.K. tour concluded with two performances at the theatre on 12 December 1965. The Rank Organisation closed the theatre in 1978 and it was demolished in 1979.[2] The Capitol Centre now occupies the site.

I've included GLR in this thread because at one time it supported Ian Anderson and the band either with on air interviews or, in a least a couple of cases, some live studio sets. Greater London Radio (GLR), 35 Marylebone High St, London The building which housed GLR is now expensive/executive flats and the entrance is at the bottom right hand side of the building. Also in the building was a large basement which was a studio for visiting artists and from where many live recordings were made. I had the opportunity of a guided tour of the studios in around '95/'96 from Phil Kennedy, now hosting a weekday show on BBC Radio Berkshire. Some GLR appearences by IA: 15 April 1995: IA interview with Bob Harris 26 April 1992: IA interview 30 September 1991: Live studio set 27 May 1991: IA interview 3 July 1990: IA interview GLR closed in 2000 after 12 years to be replaced by BBC London Live which was terrible crap awful   |
