Made me look, & think back. Good point, tullist. This later concert (7/10/75) started with Thick As A Brick (excerpt). I was 16 for the Brick show and 20 at this show (below). From my vantage point on the floor of the Gardens for the Brick tour everyone was quite rowdy in our section until the electric guitar sound made it's presence known, thanks to Martin Barre. Then the crowd settled in well, as all good T.O. audiences usually do when electrified. Not all, some are still crazy. By this time I was on a press pass to the Gardens' press box. www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/setlist/75b.htm7/10/75 Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto, Canada Star Point Thick As A Brick (excerpt), Minstrel In The Gallery, Wond'ring Aloud/Again, To Cry You A Song, A New Day Yesterday (w. flute solo, incl. Bourée & Living In The Past), Skating Away..., Ladies (w. drum solo), 'WarChild Suite', Cross-Eyed Mary, The Hare... (intro), Aqualung, Guitar Solo, Wind Up, Back-Door Angels, Locomotive Breath/Hard-Headed English General/Back-Door Angels (reprise) We ran the race and the race was won by running slowly.
Could be soon we'll cease to sound, slowly upstairs, faster down. Then to revisit stony grounds, we used to know.

Plus from personal experience, plus audience recordings Toronto in temperament bears alot more comparison with San Francisco than the nearby Detroit, Chicago or any of the northeast coast cities, by comparison a very polite city, clean too. Which is not to say 20000 mostly teen agers in an overexcited state for a huge rock show even in Toronto may not get crazy.

No Tull: From my experience the rowdiest concerts were at Varsity Stadium, Toronto. A lot of bottle throwing. The Guess Who/Burton Cummings begged the crowd to stop burning the American flag. The group Chicago had a tough time with the crowd for playing new stuff like "Saturday in the Park". Outdoors Varsity Stadium for the drunken crazies. Indoors MLG everyone is mellow from the haze, like it or not. 1970's man.

Yeah, probably leaning too much on a couple personal memories of Toronto in general about 30 years ago, 81 and 2. Even the hockey crowds in Toronto and Montreal seemed a bit less raucous than Philly, NY, Detroit and Chicago.

one of the questoons i asked Ian, for the radio show last summer, was actually a suggestion that he and his then solo trio consider a cover of 'When I'm 64' to commerate Ian's turning 64 last August. the response, diplomatically edited out of a show hosted by a lifelong beatle fan ( David gans even has a covers band called 'Rubber Souldiers), was fairly uncensored criticism of Paul McCartney as a careerist and publicity hound and faint endorsement of Lennon by default as edgier and ballsier in songwriting goals and execution...pretty much refelecting the post above about Ian vis a vis lennon/McCartney.

hey Toot...do Canadians do dates british way or United Staes way? I may have seen Tull a few days after you if it was in October 1975...I think I saw them on about October 20th or 22nd that year, in Kent, Ohio ( (yes, the Kent State campus of 'Ohio' song) The set list above looks the same as what I saw while waiting for Baker Street Muse live.....yeah, right.

Yeah, I saw that show a couple of days earlier or later in Evanston just north of Chicago, at Northwestern U. Had the truly incredible War Child show in February, I too was expecting the Minstrel show, and would have been way excited at the prospect at the time. As it was it was an oversold show, I remember being secured upon the thighs of the people sitting alongside me. And I remember some lunatic behind me in the cattle like exit, looked a little like white peoples version of Jesus, who wriggled his way up to get behind me and tapped me on the shoulder and in that Manson like conspiratorial way said, "Come with me." You know, like he knew the answers or something, I think he had a couple doe eyed things already under his care.

Good. Shows Ian can be dead wrong. Or signifigantly wrong. But they both have too much money. I prefer me some Wall Street jugglar first. But yes Nobs skated on a line in his early 20's in Montreal with Jean Guy Talbot and Henri "Pocket Rocket" Richard, before a savage hit from Chicago's Elmer "Moose" Vasco separated him from his senses, taught him better table manners, made a mystery of his right knee and kneecap, and sent him spiriting to Switzerland. I shall have to add all this to his Wiki.

Ian is almost completely misinformed in this department,as is a signifigant part of the world. At the very least, particularly as regards the Beatles post Rubber Soul machinations, and for that matter with respect to Paul's not insubstatial classical foray's, that bit about the Firemen I think, I know his Dad was a volunteer one in WW2 and in Liverpool probably got alot of hideous work, and other projects of recent years that I have more heard of than heard, I would venture to say certainly in the Beatles, and in the following years, ventured as far afield as any of the others, and certainly was the one who cared the most about the enterprise right to the end. And I just bet he would be the first of the Beatles to befriend a total stranger, he is every inch still of Liverpool. But for all I have gathered from Tull, when I see mention of the Beatles, or Miles Davis who I see in another post, like Tull, they are people who in my perception long since passed into people I love, and tend to come to the defense of, even as a total stranger. Paul's alright. And even with all the power of a dead beautiful new Brick, coupled with the performance of my favorite of my albums, it still cannot exactly top this from last year, with Paul playing a relative obscurity right in my favorite ballpark. For everything else with Tull, nothing could possibly have hit me harder than the Beatles between the age of 7 and 12, (no years are more impressionable) and why the performance of a simple little song like this could be quite so emotional to so many of us. youtu.be/DzA2FDg5exMMaybe Ian needs to be set down in the musical appreciation chair and be exposed to the likes of Long Tall Sally, Helter Skelter, O Darling,Why Don't We Do It In The Road, I mean, Paul definitely does ballsy.

A rather "world weary" IA on the back cover of this famous bootleg.

The world weary pic of course also on LITP's booklet which reminds me of a project I set to the side a while back which was to ascertain all the photographers and any stories as to the making of the booklet. One will get to it when one is arsed too

Contains the best sounding Chateau D'Isaster recordings, better than Tull Over Europe or Minstrels In The Red House. Pity its got such a fussy/cr@p cover.

Of interest, I should think, to all lovers of vinyl bootlegs. The Amazing Kornyfone Label theamazingkornyfonelabel.wordpress.com/category/jethro-tull/There is a certain "charm" (if that's the right word) about some of the Tull boots illustrated, something that CD boots don't seem to have. Mind you, vinyl weighs a hell of a lot more than CDs as I can personally attest to having moved most of my Tull vinyl at least a couple of times last week. And yes, I did have to stop and look at a few that I'd forgotten about.

Mind you, vinyl weighs a hell of a lot more than CDs as I can personally attest to having moved most of my Tull vinyl at least a couple of times last week. And yes, I did have to stop and look at a few that I'd forgotten about. Although that guy does post some good exceptions, re the ones with a picture of the band on the cover, in the main I disagree with him. I am regularly surprised at the quality of the constructs folks come up with on the net as covers for all this music. Normally I do not see them as I have no working printer. Those one's from the past that will have some large breasted woman on them I particularly dislike, exactly what does that have to do with the music? I never bought the Alice and Ian one because at the prices asked for those things, I had no desire for a bootleg recording of Alice Cooper. Even given his recent highly rated showing at Cropredy he still merits zero interest from me, ala Black Sabbath. I do not want to know. To me Ian sharing an album cover with Alice Cooper is an eyesore, maybe Cooper's fans feel the same way. One think that irks me is when people will include those internet cd covers on their You Tube postings, as in those instances when I post some of those videos to Facebook, do not want to give the impression to people who might watch them who have a lower case interest in Tull, that those are actually Tull records, as sometimes the titles given and pictures used are not ones that would have passed muster with Ian Anderson for official release, a few even borderline embarrassing. Even the popular one from back in the vinyl days, "A Sackful of Trousersnakes", alot less clever than the person imagined it to be, I imagine trying to speak in Songs From the Wood Ianspeak. He failed. Badly. Yes I am sure it was a he.

I love Patti.

Ray is right...and not only because he is always right, because he's right about NonRabbit. He's wrong a lot....well, not a lot, but a couple of things, no, just one: the Xmas album.
