   1972 - Yes Fragile tour. They played "The Pit", literally a hole in the ground at Stetson University in DeLand Florida. About 500 people showed up - it was all word-of-mouth. Free admission of course. I was 18 at the time.

Come to think of it I saw Jethro Tull's Aqualung tour in late71/early 72 but I don't remember which came first. Old age is setting in!

	Jethro Tull 1972 - Aqualung Tour - still stands out (after all these years)as one of the best concerts I have seen! If I recall correctly some material from "Warchild" was introduced at this concert.
