Blackpool Jags Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I had the pleasure to see Tull 3 times in the 70s, all at the Greens Playhouse/Apollo. Simply a fantastic live act as well as being one of the top recording bands of our time and still going strong, seemingly. Ian Anderson is as good a front man as you'll find from any era and an excellent flautist and exponent of the acoustic guitar. Anyone who doesn't appreciate this phenomenon of the post-war era is as thick as a brick in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGZ1876 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 First saw them in the Greens 1972 Thick as a brick tour, but my favourite show was War child tour 1974 at Apollo, Ian Anderson throwing giant inflatable planet Earth's into the crowd, superb.

Last week was the 40th Anniversary of TAAB tour. Tull played at the Theatre Royal and a truly superb show they put on as well, playing the entire album. I say Tull, but it was actually Ian Anderson and some musicians, plus a singer to take some of the load off the great man. Still a magical performance though. Also included some tracks off the marvellous (recently released) TAAB2 album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
