Heard "Aqualung"

on the radio last night and it got me thinking. Between working, and just attending, LOTS of concerts, I have been asked which one was my favorite. Many jump to mind, including the last Bob Seger, a Who concert where a new band called Lynyrd Skynyrd opened for them, the first time I saw Led Zepplin, and a few others. BUT, my all-time favorite, and I'm not sure why, is a Jethro Tull show. What made this one different/really great, was the format. They opened with 'Aqualung', the entire album, in sequence, took a break, did the 'Thick as a Brick', as an album, took a break and came back with highlights of all the other albums. We worked several shows with them and I, and the crowd, REALLY got off on it. Ian Anderson was a master showman, and the lead guitar, (don't even remember his name), was fantastic. I used to have a blue denim shirt, that Carol spent MANY hours embroidering, and it was really cool. The lead guitar of JT wanted to buy it from me, and kept offering me more $$ for it. I never sold it, and still have it, packed away, somewhere. Those were the days, my friend....
