For me, it was the first time I watched The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. I was probably 9 or 10 and I found it very amusing the way Ian Anderson moved. They played Song For Jeffrey and after that I had to hear more...I bought Living In The Past (a greatest hits) to get me started....well, I don't guess I bought it...my parents bought it.

Well...driving to the CD store one day I heard this awesome song on the radio. A rock and roll song with a flute in it. Intrigued, I tried to remember some of the lyrics until I got to the record store. When I got there, it turns out I was listening to Locomotive Breath. I bought Aqualung on the spot, and have been hooked on Tull ever since.

I saw Tull at the Newport Pop Festival in 1969 at Devonshire Downs in the San Fernando Valley in California.
I was very impressed and bought their first album "This Was" the following week.
"Rock and Roll Circus wasn't released until the mid 80's (I think), although it was recorded - or filmed - in 1968 prior to the release of The Stones' "Beggars Banquet" (a Classic!!).
I enjoyed the next 3 Tull albums and saw several more shows until 1973 when they (or Ian Anderson) began to do the operatic crap.
His original guitarist on "This Was" was Mick Abrahams, who later founded an interesting band named Blodwyn Pig.
In "Rock and Roll Circus", Taj Mahal featured a very talented guitarist named Jesse Ed Davis.
I still have the original vinyls of the first 4 albums by Tull. "This Was" is still the best!!

Thick as a Brick. The classic rock station was playing it and Ian Anderson's voice just caught me.

We must be about the same age... I think the song that hooked me was Hymn 43. No wait! maybe it was Lifes a Love Song... Nah definitely Hymn 43. But the title track was great too...
My parents bought it for themselves, I just got lucky because I liked it! I used to leave the 8-track looping for hours.

Hearing the guitar riff from "Teacher" when the song was first released stateside, on WRNO-FM in New Orleans.
Accepting Jethro Tull came easily.

Probably "My Sunday Feeling" from "This Was". I must have heard it around 1968. Eventually, I saw them in concert three times in the early 1970s, including their "Thick as a Brick" tour. Now they're touring again, 35 years later.
