Thanks Dog...that very issue of Circus raves included the tour date info that started one of the best Tull adventures of my life ( so far...ever the optimist!). Perusing that issue I learned that Tull was playing El Paso, Texas in 24 hours...so me and three friends told our parents we were going skiing and drove 700 miles, on icy roads, in a snowstorm, in a convertible with a torn roof and no winshield wipers...and managed to see Tull in El Paso...this amazing gig was at their peak....the night after the first 3 days in the LA Forum ( Supercharged bootleg) and right before they returned to LA to play two more nights, added on due to record breaking demand.

I'd like to see the weird 4 armed bloke holding up the 1970 utterly truly sexist poster or was it the equivalent of the pantomine horse? Yes, you see even our musical heros had their manic/odd moments but as an historical artifact to show future generations how not to do things it is priceless. Can't remember what the poster was promoting. As for the pantomine horse, it has retired and is now living out the rest of its days basking in the fresh air and wondering what the hell it thought it was doing with the poster ;D

Not sure if we've ever posted the Tull memorabilia from Sunbury festival in 1968, so appologies if this is duplicated but it's worth seeing. Unfortunately it's a bit thin on the ground. Review of someone who was there. We went to the 1967 bash at Windor but missed this one unfortunately. Jethro Tull were an unknown factor as at the time they had no album out . Fresh from a residency at the Marquee Club , I had read glowing reviews of their act from the MM and was most interested to see them. They blew us all away !. At this time afar more blues based outfit , they really had a huge asset in Ian Anderson, who it has to be said , was one of the most original and outrageous front men of the era. He of the rubber face, loopy one legged flute playing and strange body postures was completely to the fore in this breathtaking performance . This was a totally ON set as the guys flew wildly through their act with numbers like My Sunday Feeling , Martin's Tune , Back to the Family ,Nothing is Easy and Song for Jeffrey really capturing the audience from the word go.
It was all fresh and exciting, bolstered by the excellent Blues guitar of Mick Abrahams- later of Blodwyn Pig- and I was an instant Tull fan, an infatuation that lasted for a couple of albums and then waned somewhat as I discovered Anderson had ripped off the breathy flute playing style of the great blind sax player Roland Kirk. I must admit that I just got fed up with his facial expressions and as the material got more complex but less raw and bluesy.
However, at the time I loved them to distraction. Abrahams was in particular a real gem of a player, his slide work was exquisite and he really let rip on Song For Jeffrey. Anderson's vocals were of course most memorable , his flute playing gave a great jazzy and distinctive feel to the music and the rhythm section of Bunker and Cornick were driving and inventive. A band at the peak of their powers, apparently this gig was instrumental in their gaining a recording contract, which would result in the debut album This Was in late 68.
Bassist Glenn Cornick contacted us recently and commented ......
Sunbury was, of course, one of the biggest days in my life as it was THE DAY when we knew we were going to make it. You cannot believe the feeling. I don't have many recollections about the Festival other than our reception. I swear we were all in shock.
I don't know if you remember the circumstances of our introduction. Ian used to have a nasty old carrier bag that he took onstage and in which he rummaged for harmonicas, his flute or whatever - all part of his image. John Gee walked onstage carrying the bag and the whole audience stood up and started cheering even though we hadn't even been announced. What people didn't realise is that we had been playing 5 or 6 nights a week in little 40 or 50 seater blues clubs all over the country and those people had come from all over to see us. The Music Writers were shocked because we had made ourselves famous without their help or without most of them even knowing us! This was a killer show ! Huge applause followed their set and Traffic must have felt they faced a pretty uphill battle to win over the audience . More at www.ukrockfestivals.com/sunbury2.html

I need to check with a friend of mine - it's not impossible that he was at that Red Rocks show. Did a bit of "googling" and found out a bit more Jethro Tull Tear Gassed in Denver June 10th, 2009 “… Well, the embarrassment of stopping is far worse than the mild pain of having a bit of tear gas down your lungs. That’s just uncomfortable for a few minutes. If you suddenly stopped or something, that would be something you’d have to live with for weeks afterwards — the embarrassment of it …” - Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, 1971 And so the mighty Jethro Tull managed to quell a riot at the Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver, Colorado, 38 years ago to this day (June 10th). Following a surge of people “jumping the fence”, so to speak, to get closer to the show, trouble flared when the Denver police swooped down in helicopters and proceeded to drop tear gas into the audience. With bottles, rocks and other items being hurled about and people needing medical assistance outside, Jethro Tull stepped into the throng and began to play, Ian Anderson finishing the first song with the words: “Welcome to World War Three”. Through the steadily building clouds of tear gas they finished their set, restoring an edgy peace to what was a maelstrom of panic and confusion. The promoter, Barry Fey said of the band: “God bless those guys… I don’t know anybody else that would have stayed on through all that.” Read the original Los Angeles Free Press article from 1971 at Tullpress.com. www.tullpress.com/lafree18jun71.htmheadfullofsnow.com/jethro-tull-tear-gassed-denver/An incident during a performance by Jethro Tull on June 10, 1971 led to a five year ban of rock concerts at Red Rocks[2]. Approximately 1,000 people without tickets arrived at the sold-out show. Denver police directed the overflow, non-paying crowd to an area behind the theater, where they could hear the music but not see the band. The situation seemed satisfactory until some of the people without tickets attempted to enter the amphitheatre by charging at, and breaking through, the police line. Some of those without tickets began lobbing rocks at the police, and the police responded by discharging tear gas at the gate-crashers. The wind carried the tear gas over the hill, into the paying crowd and on to the stage. Following the "Riot at Red Rocks," Denver Mayor William H. McNichols, Jr. banned rock concerts from the amphitheatre. For the next five years, shows at Red Rocks were limited to softer acts, such as John Denver, Sonny & Cher, The Carpenters, Pat Boone, Seals & Crofts, and Carole King. The ban on rock and roll was finally lifted through legal action taken by Denver concert promoter Barry Fey, who tried to book the band America at the venue in 1975. After being denied a permit by the city, Fey took the city to court, and the court ruled that the city had acted "arbitrarily and capricious" in banning rock concerts at Red Rocks. Starting in the summer of 1976, the rock bands were once again welcomed at the venue. Jethro Tull played Red Rocks again on August 12, 2008. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rocks_Amphitheatre

The inscription reads; "This guitar was the first "Sunburst" Hamer ever made. It was customized for Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre and used to record the "A" lp."

I did not realize that 45 I purchased in the early or mid eighties (I am sure I would not have bothered after 88, I think it was included on the 20 yr set, and the sole attraction to me was an ancient pre Tull song I had not heard) was in fact a counterfeit, I figured it was just one of the batch they had got the name right on. Loaned it to a friend who passed away while in its possession. I miss him a hell of a lot more than the 45. Jackie magazine, I think that was Jackie as in Kennedy/onnassis, and a classy pic she did arrange if so. Her son John had a good magazine going in his last year called George. Enormous loss was John Jr,(I think he would have been presidentially ready about now, or might have made a fine VP for Pres Obama but would have tried to avoid it) all the moreso his Dad and Uncle.

Loaned it to a friend who passed away while in its possession. I miss him a hell of a lot more than the 45. It's fooled a fair few people over the years has this one and it probably will in the future. When you put the real alongside the fake you can readily see the differences: Genuine MGM issue Counterfeit issue The genuine "Toe" has an anti-slip serrated edge around the paper label to stop records slipping in the days of "auto change" record players (showing my age here) which is absent on the counterfeit. The genuine version either has a "push out centre" or a solid centre as here In addition there was a promo/demo version of the real thing on the MGM label Finally, the counterfeit version came in red vinyl as well as black - all genuine copies came in black vinyl only. If all this stops anyone buying a fake on ebay which purports to be genuine/re-issue then great. The fakes should go for around £10 - £20 with the genuine copies anywhere from £500 upwards.

Jackie magazine, I think that was Jackie as in Kennedy/onnassis, and a classy pic she did arrange if so. Jackie magazine was a British mag for teenagers in the 60's to late 70's. You progressed to the Jackie after the girl's comics when you were ready for something more mature than horses or sheepdogs getting lost in the snow It consisted of a poster eg David Jones/ David Cassidy or maybe even David Jethro Tull - seriously they would mix and match "the "pop" stars - no barriers to any genre AS long they were interviewed and asked banal questions like; "Whats your favourite colour Ian? "Do you like girls who wear make-up? They also had pictorial stories.. i26.images obliterated by tinypic/505ef.jpg[/IMG] and a problem page called Dear Cathy and Claire (Cathy and Claire were non de plumes for Bert and Gordon who worked in editorial) Every week the same problems would come up echoing 70's teenage angst; "Help I'm so depressed I don't think I can kiss a boy" or "I've got spots!" or "What if he wants to take me to see David Essex in concert and doesn't realise that underneath I crave Black Sabbath ! *God I'm old* ;D
