Concert-Bill : Nassau Coliseum - A Passion Play Programme.
Looking remarkably like one of those impromptu, knocked out in the college print room publications, and unoffical programmes that sometimes got handed out to the queueing masses [or charged for] at venues like the Royal Albert Hall, this one, 'Concert-Bill', purports to be the official [free] programme of many shows at the Nassau Coliseum. I'm not sure how official it was though.

Front cover - Concert-Bill : Nassau Coliseum - A Passion Play Programme.
It's 24 pages and contains a lot of ads, a bit about Tull, but it's production is low key. Some great ads in there...very much 'of the time'. I'll try and post some of the internal pages.

Way back when, in the dim and disatnt past, when you sometimes got wind of something that was going to happen you could contact the TV show ticketting office and wangle your way into shows.
I did a lot of BBC radio and TV gigs when I was younger, recorded at the old BBC radio 'Paris' studios in Regent Street or at various places for the TV shows. Going almost every week, got me reeasonably well known at the BBC ticket office and so I had my 'standing order' pretty much already in when the Tull 'Sight and sound concert was announced. The top 'ticket' is my notification that I as on the list for the london BBC Hippodrome gig.
The bottom one was me 'chancing my arm' to try and get to the recording of the Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll TV special which was going to be shot by Mike Mansfiled for London Weekend Television. Unfortunately no audience for this one, so I lost out.....I did manage to wangle a video recorder for the broadcast and have a first generation copy of the LWT broadcast.
Unfortunately, it's on Philips 2000 cassette!

Apologies for the low quality 'phone images but I will replace them with higher quality images in the next week.
A few posters for your more inquisitive moments.
First up a record shop promo poster for 'El Pea', an Island sampler album, the Tull 'portrait' appears to the bottm left of the poster.

The detail of that image is below

Next up a framed Tull/ELP gig poster

Can't wait to see if this generates a doppelganger.

An odd one really, it's the cover of The 'All Flutes Plus' shop catalogue for September 1997.
Mrs Q had bought me a Trevor James Flute there for my 40th birthday [yonks ago now!] and for awhile we visited and I picked this up during one visit.
![[image]](http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l455/QuizzKid08/AllFlutesPluscataloguecover.jpg "[image]")
The arsists featured on the cover are Ian Anderson [obviously], Rowland Sutherland, Lorna McGhee, Keith Waithe & Ashley Soloman.
The catalogue doesn't have any other reference to Ian or Tull.

An A5 size flyer for the Fleetwood Mac 'Behind the mask' stadium shows in the UK.
The Wembley show had Tull as one of the support acts.

My ticket from the day.
We arrived for Tull, and left almost immediately after Tull finished, not a great gig, Tull took the stage in daylight and played to an audience pretty much dominated by the type of Fleetwood Mac fans who only wanted to hear 'Rumours'.

Nice collection Quizz. 
That sucks with the FM show. How did the band respond to the disinterested audience?

Not exactly Tull but a pretty damned good representation.
I remember when I found out about them and was so impressed that Tull had a tribute band, somehting to fill in the gaps...

Not good. A mixed bag of a line-up, a band called River City People, Hall & Oates, Debbe Harry sans 'Blondie', Tull and Fleetwood Mac as headliners, the stage was quite high, and the place was far from full by the time Tull hit the stage in daylight to make it a bit of lost opportunity to play such a large venue. I can't say much about the other bands, I arrived in time for and left almost immediately after the Tull segment.
Where we were standing I saw no other clealry identifable fans who were there for Tull. most stood around chatting during the Tull segment.
I can't confirm it because it was in the days before I acted like a trainspotter at gigs and made notes but I searched the web to come across this as regards a set list
1. Thick As A Brick
2. Living In The Past
3. Steel Monkey
4. Serenade To A Cuckoo
5. Rock Island
6. Pussy Willow / Pibroch Instrumental
7. Bouree
8. My God
9. Fat Man
10. Too Old To Rock'n'Roll; Too Young To Die
11. Aqualung
![[image]](http://www.fmlegacy.com/Graphics/FMWembleyPass.jpg "[image]")
From a Fleetwood Mac site
I'm not sure if I have a gig review amongst the boxes of clippings I have but will try to check that out, in the meantime I'd have to say it wasn't one to go down as a classic and i doubt whether it brought many new people into the bands fanbase at the time.

Back in the early days of domestic or consumer videography, there were a lot of magazines doing the rounds which only managed to get away from being banished to the 'top shelf' by having a few bits which weren't soley related to T&A.
This copy of the UK magazine, 'Video Review' from October 1981, was one such mag, a couple of pages devoted to music, new releases and how to wire up a Betamax gave it credence in any tech geeks briefcase....the scantily clad women were merely a distraction to the main feature.......

The grey of the flyer matches the greyness of Croydon...bleak isn't the word...for Croydon that is.
