Myself and friends have been to every Tull concert in Colorado since1971. Missed The first visit (1970) when unfortunately, the event was disrupted. The concert promoter still remarks to this day what a gentleman Ian was at the time. The pic I uploaded is from the concert in June of this year, 2011.
We are blessed to live in a day and time where music like this exists! Here's to all things TULL, life would be unbearable without you!
PS - PLEASE come to Colorado for the TAAB Show! We love you!

Replying to my own message... i hope it doesnt look too odd! haha ... I remember having dreams of meeting the band when I was young. One dream I had had myself and friends in good seats at a small venue.... small venue seemed preposterous at the time since it was all about arena rock. Oddly enough the dream seemed to come true. It was at a huge venue and Tull was opening for The Who. The Who was on their final (yeah right) tour.
First, we had to suffer through John Cougar Mellenkamp. Now, I have nothing against John, but he can't hold a candle to Tull. Poor John was literally booed off the stage and the PA was turned down. Facing a hostile audience and inability to be heard, John left the stage.
Tull was up next! Even though it wasnt a large venue the stage was set almost exactly as I had imagined it in my dream. The PA was cranked...and all had a great time! I think The Who performed... but ...who cares? XD
