Great shot.
I saw and shot Ian Anderson, and Tull, from the stadium seating, also in 1973, on Long Island.
Anderson , with his “codpiece” and playing his flute, on one leg, like a flamingo, was a great subject for concert photos. Great performer, great show!
I graduated high school in 1975. Jethro Tull records, yes, I’m old, records, got me through high school!!
Thanks! It was a great concert. I was a senior in high school, covering the concert for the music column I wrote in our school paper. I'd never really paid attention to Tull before, but I went out and bought several LPs after that!
Last thing I remember from that concert was that the telephone on the stool rang (see photo). Ian picks it up, and says, "Hello?" Then smiles at the audience and says, "It's for you!" Of course, we were all wondering, throughout the concert, what the phone had to do with the music. NOTHING! We'd been had. Great joke.
If you like classic rock, check out the power trio The Warning. This is one hell of a 22-song live show, one of the most well-recorded pieces of rock audio I've ever heard:
https://youtu.be/7hbBa1-1p7M?si=WXsGgxEGJXYfsPgAThe video is edited from two sold out shows at The Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City. The audio is from whichever show had the better takes. We hear a few background tracks that the drummer plays from her Mac, but it's all them (and Canadian artist, Alessia Cara, who collaborated on their total remake of Metallica's
Enter Sandman, originally recorded FOR Metallica's
Black List album.
BTW, these kids are brilliant, bilingual, and Mexican. English is their second language, but only two of their songs are in Spanish. They wrote, composed, recorded, and performed a "rock novel" concept album,
Queen of the Murder Scene, released in late 2018. They were 18, 16, and 13 when they performed the debut concert (Live at Lunario, 2018, on The Warning YouTube channel).
