Josh me boy, you must choose a number between 1-50. You too Decal
MttBsh ... "Stand up may be not only my favorite Tull album, but my favorite album".
Couldn't agree with you more! I saw them in 1969 in Alexandria, VA, at a skating rink, as the opening act for Mountain and Jeff Beck. Tull was my favorite of the night with a set that was mostly Stand Up and This Was. Terrific, truly. The band was very cohesive then and it was more Tull as a group than Anderson as the front man. A grand experience for a 16 yo VA hick, I can assure you.
By the time I saw them again in 1972 at Virginia Tech (with Captain Beefheart!), a $4.50 ticket, the show was more Anderson than Tull. Still a very good concert, mostly Aqualung and some Thick, but the stage dramatics and the bombast were in full bloom and a bit off putting. I preferred the Alexandria show.
Michael, the Tuonares haven't arrived but I'm in the Vapor queue. I'll email Ryan now for an update. And I haven't frgotten you ... I'm still actively listening to the Tempesta/Stiff Breeze shoot-out and having a lot of fun doing so. I'll pm you soon.
Pete ... "I really did like them all to the point that I could sing along with every album without the lyrics to look at. I was truly a Tull nerd".
Should you actually be admitting to that on a public forum??
Take care and cheerio,
