As I read that we could create a thread to introduce ourselves and say "hello"... I'm giving it a try. I love Tull but i miss talking about them ... I wa sonce in another forum dedicated to thme when the internet started. But there were too many arguments a tone point.. I kind of forgot about it. I thought I could try to discuss and get more interesting exchanges in a forum again. and I found this... ))
I've been a lover of Jethro Tull for 40 years this year. a little anecdote about how I discovered them :
I discovered Tull thanks to a review and a small interview with Ian in a rock mag called Rock & Folk in 1982, at the time when "The Broadsword & The Beast" was released. The journalist referred to th epast albums to, and liked the album very much.. I thought I might really like this. I also loved the sleeve cover... I loved the Middle-Age and Renaissance legends... bit sof music I had heard in movies... which were certainly a contemporary interpretation of the real music of those times.
It was a time when we still could ask to listen for a few excerpts in certain big shops in Paris and I asked to listen to some excerpts of this album and also "Aqualung". and it was more or less what I expected ! Strange for many Tull fans, probably, but I prefer "The Broadsword & The Beast", even though "Aqualung" is a very important album in rock history and one I like a lot as well.
I ended up at home this same day with... both LP's ! I loved them. and the rest is history. I saved my money to vuy records, and I tried to buy every Tull album quite quickly.
I saw Tull in concert for the first time only in 1987, and "only" four times, plus I also attended two concerts by Ian with an orchestra : in December 2005 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands and in Paris in 2006, I think .. I couldn't go to any Tull concert since then... Hopefully this coming Fall in Paris.
I sometimes wrote reviews and articles in some fanzines about Jethro Tull, even wrote a complete "story" circa 1994 in a very small fanzine that didn't sell many copies but well... long time ago.
and finally, last November, I could manage to meet briefly Ian Anderson in Paris for a too short interview... published with my review of The Zealot Gene in Koid'9 (quoi-de-neuf ? What's New ?) - a fanzine specialized in progressive rock, but not only. A dream come true, really ! ))
All the best to you all.

WELCOME Marcm This is the place to share TULL in all it's forms since the beginning !!! I understand how other Groops or BOREDS can create a negative place to complain about everything. That's why I came here in 2013... Let's ROCK !!!!

Hi marcm and a warm welcome to the Jethro Tull Forum When you mentioned that you've been a Tull fan for 40 years it got me thinking of when I saw Tull for the first time which was on 17/3/72 so I now realise I've missed the 50th anniversary of that great gig at Stockton ABC. I could have played Thick as a Brick with a few beers to celebrate Roll on the 60th.

Thank you for the nice words, Bunkerfan. Wow, you saw them in 1972... That must have been special... Everybody is sad that there is no footage (nor live recordings ?!) from 1971-1974... but that's Terry Ellis who didn't want apparently...
