Was at a Jethro Tull concert where Ian Anderson started tossing colorful little objects from a wrinkled paper sack into the audience. I could not see what they were but soon figured it out. The band started playing Locomotive Breath and those who caught said colorful objects started playing along - on KAZZOOS.
As the instrumentals got heavy, one guy in the front row, who looked for all the world like David Crosby, started wailing on his kazzoo and Ian signaled the band to stop. He kneeled down and held the mic' out to the dude who looked like David Crosby and let him solo. Ian looked quite impressed and amused and the crowd went a bit nuts a this guy hammered Locomotive Breath... on a damned KAZZOO.
... OK, you had to be there.

You kids just drive me nuts! Never heard on any of those bands or songs. Don't you folks know any music?

I like Jethro Tull. Certainly had their own sound. Have a couple of their albums, never been to a concert.
Oldest daughter drug me there for her sixteenth and eighteenth birthdays.
Only other concert I ever went to was Bob Dylan, for my wife. Otherwise, I don't do crowds, especially large ones.
Won't do it again though. My patience has thinned considerably with age.
I AM a Tull and Dylan fan though.
"Classic" rock was when those guys were pooping in their diapers.

My first experience with Jethro Tull was on a Young Life ski trip when I was 14 in 1981. The cabin chaperone would wake us all up with Thick as a Brick played loudly on his boom box. As a kid in 1981 I was into New Wave. Not whatever the #&@! this $#!& was!
Years later (and surprisingly, not that many), Jethro Tull is one of my staples.

You forgot King Crimson. Seen them perform in Detroit, at the Village, in 1973, IIRC. Black Oak Arkansas was the first to perform, that night.

You ain't that old. Aqualung was released in 1971, I gradjiated in 1972.

How I wish I could send this to my grandfather. He died at 76 in 1990. Glen Miller was one of his favorites, and I always think of him when I listen to it. Same thing with my dad and Willie Nelson.

But that is what I grew up with, big bands from Mom and Midwest Hayride with Dad. After I got out of the Army, 1970, wife and I did a lot of night clubbing. That was Neil Dimond, Vic Dimone, Frankie Valle and those kinds of acts. Wife and I didn't own a TV from 1970 thru 1980's. Music was a lot of 1950's and early '60's, pre Beetle stuff on cassette tape.
Most of our music from 1975 thru 1980 was Disco that we both loved to dance to.
