Well, of the hundred plus cassettes made by my dad, there are three that contain unofficial live music, this being one of them. This is the one and only show taped by my dad from the crowd. He had floor seats, I believe in row 4 and to the right a bit. This was his 2nd time seeing Jethro Tull. At the very beginning of the tape you can hear security asking to see their tickets. He attempted to save tape by stopping the deck during the applause, and only brought one normal bias tape to the show. The cassette recorder used only recorded in mono and had no Dolby. I believe he was inspired to record this after buying a vinyl bootleg called Flute Cake. Most of my dad's memories towards his tapes are very faint with little details. The tape was nary played due to the sound quality, but this doesn't sound too bad all things considered. All of the songs here have cuts due to the recorder switching to playback if you turned on its side, and Jethro Tull was the reason for recording anyhow. It would have been on 'Music' mode as opposed to 'Speech,' and was purchased for keeping notes and recording phone calls. There was another taper in attendance but I'm not sure if they recorded UK or not. I believe Terry Bozzio was the drummer for this lineup of UK.
This concert took place in the Pacific Coliseum, built in 1968, which is part of the PNE or Pacific National Exhibition fairgrounds. It is not called the PNE Coliseum or the Vancouver Coliseum, as many bootlegs may suggest.
This is the best and last transfer of this tape. Please share it as it is.
