"Phil Allison" noted

"Trevor Wilson"

Well? Did anyone here see the concert? It would have be excellent, if what
I saw on TV is a guide. I saw them in Sydney, back in 1971 (or 2, I don't
recall).


** February 27th, 1972 - mid afternoon at the Sydney Showgrounds.

I was there too.

I saw them here, two days beforehand;-

25th February 1972, Western Springs Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand

It was a most excellent concert.

Indeed! My first major outdoor stadium concert. Pre-recorded unreleased
Santana playing over the PA as the crowd moved in pre-concert, as I recall.

Lots of Nepalese hash & pure LSD about in those days, too, even here in NZ.

[So I observed, in my twentieth year;-)]

** As were Jethro Tull doing " Thick as a Brick " at the Hordern Pavilion in
the same year.

I saw them in the Auckland Town Hall, likely later that year.

"We''ll just start with a short number" (IIRC) and proceeded to play the whole
of Thick As A Brick, after milling about in jumpsuits with the roadies earlier

However, neither IMO faintly eclipsed Sydney progressive rock band " Kahvas
Jute " at the Arts Factory on the night of Saturday June 19 in 1971.

Can't comment on that one!!!

...... Phil

*Must catch up on potential concert downloads! note to self!*

I haven't even heard the latest CD set; quality comments, anyone?
