"The Minstrel in the
Gallery"
Early Tull show by Witness.
Really hard to pull off on the original Ale House stage, which was
about 16 X 8. Still, Michael did a great job!

"Teacher"
(Short version) Most of these 1979 clips come from the same night at the Ale House. The night
I decided to join. Even in it's first season, the Tull show really was taking
shape.

"The Third Hoorah !"
Early Tull Show at the Ale
House, always liked this reprise of War child. Unfortunately,
not much stage lighting. (before I had the pleasure of fixing that.)
Michael doing his best on the original small stage!

"Living in the Past"

Nice mellow Tull, usually done mid show. The 79 footage is the
earliest known video footage of the band.

"Bungle in the
Jungle"
This is rare footage from 1979. Recorded
at the Ale House before I signed on as Lighting Designer, so don't
complain about the lights ;) Anyway, still one of my
favorites. Michael just had a way of bringing it to life!

"The Sheriff"
YouTube Video
A real treat for the Wildwood local
crowd, this short lived piece was a favorite at the London Ale
House! It also shows that even with only 4 months behind him,
Billy's showmanship was showing already!

This rare footage from 1979
already shows the talent and playfulness of the Disston brothers in
an early version of the Tull show. This combo piece features Bourree
among others. Although there is not much lighting and the audio is a
little shaky.

Some more very early footage of
Michael Labuono (Then 19) playing his version of Root Beer Rag on a Wurlitzer
piano (Which I am told is all but impossible!)
Filmed at the Ale House before stage lighting was used.

From our 1981
"Spotlight" show at the Ale House, a good sample of the

like it was going to come through the building!

"Long Distance"
Sung by Steelman!
Recorded at the Ale House with a whitewashed stage (yuck), but the
video turned out pretty good. I think I was using a TK76 broadcast
camera on this shoot. Brooksie was subbing on lights.
