I remember a friend, 14 years old at the time as a preface, carefully wrapping in saran wrap and saving, a cigarette butt Ian tossed in 73......don't know where the butt or the pal are these days....he was last seen marrying a woman from montreal who spoke no english and he no french...ideal marriage, no?

Somewhere I've got one of these salmon packets/wrappers. I ate the salmon though before the cat got it Anyone else saved any Tull trivia of a questionable/dubious/funny nature which they'd just love to share with everybody on this forum?

As a rather sheltered and unreligious boy in provincial Denver, the very words 'A Passion Play' on a pamphlet for the annual religious play in South Dakota, earned it a trip to the Tull shoebox, where it still resides.....anyone collecting adverts for mid-west church plays? No, I didn't keep any bricks nor scuba gear, smart-asses!

Dipping my toes into this Tull collectable thing - the nights are drawing in ........ A record fair does it's tour of Ireland and yesterday came to my neck o' the woods and I went for the first time - result - TAAB original vinyl with newspaper in good condition - £3 Steel Monkey shaped picture disc - never played - £6 Jack in the Green DVD new £6 50 I do have some original items myself however I could get into this as 3 of the dealers wil now look out for me for next time - reckon prices will increase... Footnote - one of the dealers is the tour manager for none other than Jan Akermann - had a good long chinwag about the ace guitarist who is touring in a UK acoustic tour this month I said I would pass this on ........www.janakkermann.com Speaking of collectables any ideas on this ..(it's not Tull -sorry ) I have a shaped picture disc of Freaks Marillion - which was given to me by Fish before general release (He knew my ex from playing gigs in Scotland ) It is stamped Not For Release..never played on account of the fact that I was not a great Marillion fan LOL

Sold a couple myself in the past for a similar amount but I haven't seen many around recently. I always wondered if they were juke box issues or a marketing ploy by US Chrysalis. Certainly there are/were a cheap entry into collecting Tull items. If they were for juke boxes, I've always wondered what condition the majority were - fair to good?

Man those are a nice find Maddog, including a rare shot of him on Strathaird, mighty nice. I have seen those Look magazine ones before, they just might be the best shots of Tull in that period, excellent stuff.

Brewer and Shipley opening for Tull on Passion Play Tour....must have been torture for all involved...I am so lucky that the opening act in Denver was Steeleye Span.....one of the few, few bands worthy of a place on that bill! They went down so well that they came back a few months later to play a cool club called 'Ebbets Field'...whose recent nostalgia release includes a Steeleye Span song that kicked ass ( can't remember the name of the song...heard it in a car last week) The SS song shined amongst contributions form: Spirit, Flo and Eddie, The Outlaws, Ambrosia (!),Leo Sayer, Frampton's camel and a few other club size acts from 1974. More joy from reading the poster....my tenth row seat only cost $4.50.....I spent the whole night in a record store parking lot to earn that space!

More joy from reading the poster....my tenth row seat only cost $4.50.....I spent the whole night in a record store parking lot to earn that space! That Steeleye Span show is on Sugar Megs, sounds pretty good too. The Steeleye songs that bordered on popular,( for that nostalgia release thing), as you probably know are All Around My Hat and Gaudete. Gaudete hardly kicks ass but is a beautiful chorale thing, maybe they used Seven Hundred Elves or Thomas the Rhymer which were both new at the time and are fairly rollicking. O wo is me the farmer cried, the elves will be my guest. I would like if Steeleye or Fairport would be had been offered the opening Tull slot in perpetuity, we got Livingston Taylor in Chicago, and the tone was set for bad energy with the boorish behavior of the crowd, I think he ended his set early. Steeleye and Captain Beefheart were also booed opening for Tull. To be frank much of Tull's audience in their very popular years was peopled with alot of disagreeable and extremely intoxicated people, I will never wish for a return in popularity to the stadium years, regularly I was seated next to or near total a holes. Ian deserves some stick too for the amount of god awful opening acts he has invited I presume, ala Yes imitators Starcastle, even John Glascocks band has been over praised, It Bites, Honeymoon Suite, Whitesnake all things to be endured but not booed for chrissakes. The Grateful Dead's audience will always be the last word in how anaudience should embrace an opener, there again the Dead regularly had great and challenging opening acts, when Tull was popular their audience was probably not much different from Zep's or Sabbath, all kinds of low grade operators around.

Saga...has anyone else not been able to erase all memory of Saga?
yeah...Fairport/Tull was a nice era like New Riders/Dead in the mid seventies. The Dead, when they had opening acts, always had the crowd's attention or at least politeness...probably cuz the audience knew the Dead had the last word in co-billed acts and could be trusted......uh...did i mention Saga?
