Does anyone have any interesting places that would lead us to any history about these bands?

There is a great VHS video, from 1989, called "25x5 the Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones". It tells their story from the begining and it is very entertaining. I think you will enjoy it; you can probably find it on ebay. I cannot believe the Stones are still going strong, after 40 years! I don't know that much about Tull, but I think they may have been together longer than the Stones. Good luck!

You really need to state WHERE you will be traveling to get much useful feedback, preferably in the title of your posts....

I believe from some of your other posts that you're headed for London?

You can certainly search for info on google.com "rolling stones walks london" and the like should turn up some good info. I found the following easily enough (these are guidebooks, not actual tours):

If you consider the FAQ section on Tull's official website to be an interesting place, there's some information about the band's history there.

Looks like Anderson still has that salmon farm on the Isle of Skye that a Scotsman pointed out to me back in 1979. Anderson writes: "We set up a Salmon farm at the beginning of that then new industry's development. A smoking and processing factory and more fish farms followed and today they employ about 250 people in the Highlands of Scotland. But my time on the business is limited to around one day a month. When I wake up in the morning, I am a musician, not a farmer or fish salesman."

We will be in England and Paris in October and are hoping to expand our rock and roll history while we are there.

We will be taking day trips also.

Your expertise is appreciated, thank you!

Just saw Tull this past weekend: Very good show, but Ian's voice must be going. Most songs were long instrumentals with limited vocals thrown in. Also seemed to play a lot of new or fairly recent stuff - tunes I wasn't familiar with. They got the crowd going when they did their hits from the '70's. Lot of people must still dig them since they sold out the venue in little old Bethlehem, PA.

Dont' know if you would be interested in the Rock Circus, in London. It is a Madame Tussaud's type of museum on the history of Rock & Roll.
