    Jethro Tull, must have been about '71

    Woah. Would love to be there. How was it?
    I was , well I dropped acid :mrgreen: , had the very last row way up high in the arena. It was so cool, I was 15, my first concert experience, Tull music, I mean the Aqualung tour, how could I go wrong? Doesn't get finer for me. It was utterly awesome! A day I would love to return to just for some time.
    Ian had on the long jacket and took to standing on one leg while playing his flute. For years I thought he had a peg leg til I saw him here at Chastain maybe 10-12 years ago. :lol: I was very surprised he had both legs! And in Ian style he blew me away again!



    this 10 years after I saw him in '82 but you get the idea :shock: :D8-)

    Me too! Hartford Meadows '96: Pearl Jam and the Fastbacks. I was 14. The rest, as they say, is history.

    here's one to be ashamed of...but i'm not -

    boyz II men w/ montell jordan allentown fair 1995. got dragged there with my sister who was a huge boyz II men fan at the time. i actually enjoyed myself, although the music was kind of lame.

    first actual rock concert was todd rundgren in 1996 i think. don't even remember where it was, i saw two of his shows on that tour.

    Just seen yours, should we start battling over who saw them at their best? Was Roger Taylor the best drummer or Sterling Campbell? :lol:

    I'm going to go with RT, cause he and AT were still in the band when I saw them :D

    Cool you were in the video. The closest I got to being in a concert video was Soundgarden's My Wave when I saw them in '94.
