OMG, love the HH picture. Do you have that hanging up? I sure would. As a huge HH fan..

Remember a few yrs ago Dave Pegg was selling his stuff? I inquired about a HH sweater he had and he said he was on vacation and would get back to me (most likely being English he said, "holiday" actually, LOL) but he never got back to me. Grrr. haha

Hi Holly,

No, I don't have it hanging up at present. like most of my stuff it's in storage. We moved a few years ago and have been undertaking renovation works in our house; maybe when it's finished the crates will return and I'll make better use of some of the pieces like the posters.

I've quite a few more things to add yet though and the trip down to the storage room has been fun, digging through years of memories.

It's not quite printed memorabilia, but just for you, here's the sew-on patch that was available during the Heavy Horses tour.

Inside cover of the Princes trust Rock Gala event in July 1982. I will try to add a better scan later.



To go with it a clip of Tull on stage, with Phil [Ape suit] Collins on drums

Another delve into my personal archive, and whether it has none, one or even two fingers, it's a nice piece, which we're happy to share with members and guests alike. ;D

That is a great item, Pat! I always loved the defiance of the Ray Lomas 'up yours' gesture on the front cover. Too Old was the first new Tull album that was released after I had discovered the band six months or so earlier. It was very appealing to a rebellious 15 year-old boy.

Now, is 'Ray Lomas'' clenched fist gesture one of defiance or agreesion, possibly animosity, or does it mean different things in different places.

When I was younger it was used in parts of the UK by some [men - particularly workers on building sites] who accompanied it with a "Phwwoooagh" to draw attention to the fact that a rather attractive and possibly 'available' [in the G---r sense of the word] young lady had walked by.

That's interesting, because I think here it is always used as a defiant gesture, kind of like "up yours" or "go fuck yourself."

I never knew that it was used by construction workers in England as kind of like a "shwinggg" gesture to signify their instant arousal whenever a hottie walked by, however I can definitely see it being used that way, and certainly by construction workers!

BTW, I feel a little foolish for asking, but I've racked my brains and can't for the life of me fill in the blanks to that G---r word you used???

I'll PM you, as my reply might offend - ;D

Well, I suppose it's open to debate, but I've always been under the impression it was Go-er, as in 'she's a bit of a go-er.....'

[rebecca]

Yeah, here it's "up yours." Probably in common with Quizz's British usage, it seems to represent the same part of the body, just in a different oriface.

Hi, Rebecca, great to see you here again! This is only one example of the kind of titillating things that you miss when you are away from The Jethro Tull Board for even a single day!

Check out Paul's hysterical "pantians" creation in the 'Avril Lavigne's Vagina and Tull' thread, or the "Jizz-Flutarist" photos in our Tull Art & Photo Department, and then sample some of Blue's hilariously raunchy jokes in Curl Up and Laugh, or maybe a filthy ode or two from the Cat-Tull-us thread, topped off with one of Quizz's topless Tull vixens! There's all that and much, much more.


It won't be long before you're hooked again!

Wear your dreams - Mindblown at the Palace.

Oh how good could this have been if it really happened. Like a lot of stuff that purports to be real, a lot of it in reality, isn't.

This is a spoof, the gig was never a reality but its a nice bit of artwork to own all the same.

It claimed three days of cosmic sounds at Crystal Palace in London for the 1st weekend of july, but the year isn't very clear.

The image is 'borrowed', I think, from a UFO Club poster, possibly painted by Michael English, which I believe was also used by the band 'Tomorrow' in promo posters for one of their singles.

Tull are listed in there amongst, Led Zeppelin, Zappa, Pink Floyd, The Who, Bowie, T.Rex, Free, Jeff Beck, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, Traffic, The Kinks, Hawkwind and more.

That is an amazing piece! The Island would have sunk under the weight of all those egos concentrated in one spot but everybody in the audience would have died happy.

Thanks Blue,

The photograph doesn't do it justice actually, it is heavily coloured silver and looks pretty good despite its somewhat dubious origins, and at least it'll stay up on display here for others to enjoy unless I remove it, nothing quite so irritating as displaying stuff for others to enjoy that disappears over time.

If only a gig of that scale could have happened in London back then, although, I can remember doing gigs back then when the line-ups were pretty special. The Who and The Faces sharing top billing with 8 or 9 other bands all for the princely sum of £1.25 at the Bangla Desh concert at the Oval cricket ground in '71, even in the 80's the Live Aid gig was nice and reasonably cheap at £5.00 [with £20 donation!]

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. ;D

A couple of snaps of a few more pieces, I will get them scanned or properly photographed as soon as possible, the Mick Abrahams/Tull tribute poster ibelow s A3 size.

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.



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'.

[TM]

Nice collection Quizz.

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

[Deleted]

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...
