So your Tull concerts probably looked something like this?
Just to clarify, the show mentioned in 1975 was special indeed. Having a designated driver was a real plus that night and appreciated. The visual enhancement was not as effective as the video might suggest. My memory is still clear and reaffirmed by David/Dee Palmer who was also there that night. As confirmed also by Darin Cody's video there were Ladies on Strings with white Afros.

My 9th Tull Concert
Divinities Tour
1995 June 6 / Upper Darby, Philadelphia, Pa. Note: Above is the copy made before the show in 1995. The second image was scanned 17 years later. Tickets printed by computers will fade. Always copy before the actual date of show. Also, remember you may have a Lowlife piece of SHIT tear your ticket at the gate. My first ever back to back Tull show. I flew home from Philly the next day.

OK, July 1972, Thick As A Brick.
JT's first tour of Australia, and it was huge! (The tour). I was just a schoolboy... Even so, $3.80 plus about a dollar booking fee was probably my week's allowance!
4IP was our local (Ipswich) AM radio station which became Brisbane's top pop and rock station. Festival Hall was then Brisbane's main entertainment venue. I can't believe it when I think of all the smoking there- it's a wonder it didn't burn down!

Great story Geoff! Behind every Tull Ticket is a special story that needs to be told. Do you remember how many cigarettes Ian brought along?

My 10th Tull Concert
Roots to Branches Tour
1995 November 14 / New York City My friend Cleve had never been to a Tull Show before. We went to the Empire State Building and Rocked with Tull that night. His favorite song was "Thick as a Brick". I wonder why? More Pics from The Beacon. Check it out: http://thejethrotullboard.proboards.com/....ead=2149&page=1

My 11th Tull Concert
Roots to Branches Tour
1996 March 27 / Richmond, Virginia 2 Tickets for myself and my 17 year old son. This was a extremely difficult show to watch with Ian and his wheelchair. I was totally unaware how serious this situation would eventually become.(DVT) Jason loved every song and I worried that Ian would never stand on one leg again.
Wow, great pics Jim. It must have been a trip to see Ian in a wheelchair onstage, sort of ironic if you look at it in a certain way.
That's a great picture though, he looks like he's still rocking hard. Maybe just disgruntled. Gotta give props to him for doing it.
The real irony of Ian in a wheelchair was the fact that he had done it before as a joke in 1988.
Another irony is the fact this video was in South America. Ian got hurt in South America 8 years later after slipping onstage. March 19, 1996 - Meulle Uno / Lima, Perú Ian fell during a jump on a poor-quality stage, badly injuring his knee.
