Awesome promotional releases! I was around 6 years old when these were made. By 1964, I knew who the Beatles were. There were some older kids that had the album "Meet The Beatles". We would pretend to play broomsticks and plastic trash can drums while listening to the album. By the time they were on Ed Sullivan, I was impressed. ;D I remember this documentary too.

Graham. You are insane I cannot even believe what you are toting around in your obscure drawers. Such a dreamy picture of George, lol. And look at Ringo. I have to laugh at that. Ringo gave up the most to go with that Beatle look. He looked pretty cool a year previous with the beard, the silver streak in his hair, combed back while with Rory Storm. I would swear his moptop has been painted on there, and I know his 3 buddies would never let him hear the end of it, he would be the plaything for that day, particularly if they were all that age again. I love it.

Thanks for the post Graham, started going to concerts almost as young as me, I think that you had more luck for being born a little earlier, or not? Unfortunately I keep few things of those days, so I enjoy all your publications, thanks again Remy / Tull50

Sick. Just sick. Thank you for holding onto all this stuff ALL these years. Bonzo's could be a fun opener, particularly in 67, and if you saw the Cream on the right night, omg. Sort of wish they and the Zep's had continued on their way recently, in some respects, as with Ian, I believe the onset of years taught them to reign in some musical excesses, certainly I thought both sounded at least as good as ever. Though I never saw the Cream at all, not even close, and definitely not in England in 1967. Total credit on those rebound shows in 07? 05? to Baker doing so period a piece as Pressed Rat and Warthog, easily as much a cultural and period oddity as anything the Bonzo's were doing then, and they did that sort of thing as a staple. Also to rolling out a trippy non classic rock radio thing like We're Going Wrong and doin all that stuff so well.

Amazing stuff and thanks from me too G for holding on to it. A great addition to the Forum which incidently started off as the Jethro Tull & Music Forum, it would have been weird to meet people who only listened to Tull ;D Tull,other music -old and new,humour, games etc however...... not Playboy.

While I may well have posted this resurrected genuine sixties curio before, the 2005 Cream giving an update on the welfare of Pressed Rat and Warthog. Sounds like they came to a less intriguing end than Bostock, but equally well played by the ensemble. youtu.be/BWxAahRJgYE

Graham, thank you very much for another great post! I'm reading (or at least try) all these great publications, which lead me to another time, maybe I lose a little time to post, but I think it deserves Remy

Sad footnote...Jim Gordon got all crazy...probably latent schizophrenic...exacerbated by drugs and stress...and when voices told him to kill his mom, he did...went to psych jail...dunno what happened since.

Thanks Graham, I think my 1st "serious" concert was Eric Clapton for that reason I have a very special appreciation, also admire him as a person and as a guitarist I look forward to more

In no particular order: Peter Green - the original Fleetwood Mac era Jimi Hendrix - the Experience years Eric Clapton - during his blues and Cream years and Martin Lancelot Barre

Graham. Insane. Not normal. Wow. And you saw the Beatles in England. Would not be surprised if you saw the original Stones. Maybe Fairport when Sandy and RT were aboard. I wanna be you next time.

Far too many to remember with 100% certainty. The Yardbirds were a superb group and, if my memory serves me right, they played at Eel Pie Island a few times. As for the Stones, we saw them prior to them becoming famous when one of the Pretty Things was part of the group so that probably predates their first recorded output. Wouldn't have missed those early gigs for all the tea in China.

I agree, that is why I am so interested, in those moments I was not aware of how important it could be for me this, I think I was very young and I was only concerned to enjoy the concerts, I think do not keep anything except some magazine clippings and things of Tull... It is always better than nothing

Delaney & Bonnie part 2 From wikipedia: This concert at the Fairfield Halls was recorded and issued the next year. Released in June 1970, this album features Delaney and Bonnie's best-known touring band, including Eric Clapton, Jim Gordon, Carl Radle, Bobby Whitlock, Leon Russell, Dave Mason, and George Harrison (under his pseudonym "L'Angelo Misterioso"). Many of the players on this album would later go on to work with Clapton on his solo debut and on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, and with Harrison on his vocal debut album All Things Must Pass. The album's cover photo, taken by Delaney and Bonnie's manager Barry Feinstein, was reportedly shot in 1966 while Feinstein worked as a photographer covering Bob Dylan's British tour. Dylan's feet are alleged to be those hanging from the car window.

Windsor Jazz & Blues Festival - 1967 This was the year before Jethro Tull played at the event but it was the debut performances of Fleetwood Mac and Pentangle. I'll post the inside pages when I get a moment - two and half weeks away from retirement and I seem to be working harder than I have done for many a year - why ?

Man, a blues and jazz festival that appears to be made entirely of rock and roll. Not hard to see how many in Britain got off on the wrong foot, at least where jazz is concerned. Now Zoot Sims and Al cohn were two fine players, but with respect to the British jazz acts featured there, if anyone has heard of them outside Britain they got one up on me. Not that whether or not I have heard of them has much bearing, though I do know most, but my guess is they were likely hardly boundary stretching, (neither were Zoot and Cohn, two fine but very straight ahead tenor players, saw Zoot a handful of times, with his old partner Cohn once, borderline boring, one hell of a ballad player though. I say that, because in conversation with both Ric and Maart many years ago, I was a little astonished by their ignorance and near disinterest in jazz, especially after hearing Ric, on one of the old Albion records, Rise Up Like The Son I think, he does a very tasty cover of Trane's Afro Blue, wonder if he even wondered where it came from. It has a great melody, something often so lost, and what I believe sets Tull apart from every one of the other bands considered prog, particularly the newer one's. I mean I know we all love that young man from Porcupine Tree is it? Whoever the guy is mixing past Tull. I have listened to them and some other more recent prog band of signifigant visibility who's name escapes me, and this is a notion that seems to be quite lost on them. And as with Rush, no amount of gizmotron wizardry will ever impress me, believe me I will always know badder mf's that Rush's drummer. I am constantly reminded of something that remains of such currency to me, as concerns the legendary jazz tenor Lester Young, aka Prez. Since he was the fastest gun or somesuch, the youngins on the tour bus would come up and blow for him, in one instance one young man was rather pleased with his tenor run, and Prez looked at him with those stoned eyes of him and said, "But can you sing me a song boy?" Ian Anderson gets that. Most of these other geeks in prog do not, or not regularly enough. Re Yes, good players? Oh, I suppose but just how long do you think it would take me to find people who can play their ass under the table? And Jon Anderson's voice? I am sure he is a perfect angel, but not something I would be willing to take into the Apollo Ballroom in Harlem, where rockers with balls and white skin actually have played.
