I’ve seen this smoke plume from Auburn-Folsom at Greenback heading west a few times. Looks to be around Nimbus. Any ideas?

I was led into this rabbit hole by a recent post by u/j3434 on notorious keyboardist John Evan, as I was reminded of his stagecraft and musicianship from the show my friends and I attended summer, 1976 and hoped to find a video. As luck would have it, not only a video, but lore and a gem was found which I share below. Apparently the “Too Old To Rock & Roll, Too Young To Die” tour featured a new and unique fan experience that used several cameras to project stage action in large format to be seen by all, even the drunken backbencher proletariat class. Guilty. This forward thinking use of rudimentary media technology is, of course, de rigueur today for big venue and stadium shows. An interesting tidbit of concert going news and history I unwittingly saw first hand.

In any event, two links: the first is a 5 minute scroll history of the magic tape from Tampa, FL July 31, 1976, the second being a link to the actual gratis and duty-free 1 hour of Jethro Tull in full form and technicolor from the wayback machine’s journey to summer, 1976, preserved as the good Lord intended. Probably. There also is a suggested PayPal link too for a small contribution, and which I will gladly be using to send a few shekels to these heroes.
