I saw Jethro Tull at the Fox in 1971 for the Aqualung tour. I was 13 and my friend’s parents drove us to Hackensack from Irvington. Lots of pot, headbands and long hair. I think the tickets were about $5 (that’s the service charge today).

This was my neighborhood theater and it truly was a dump. I think about 2 people ran the entire operation. And no air conditioning so it was always closed for the summer. Saw a double feature of The Godfather and Bananas and spent nearly 5 hours in The Chancellor’s uncomfortable seats hovering over super sticky floors. Never any problem getting into “R” rated movies as the ticket lady was about 90 and couldn’t see too well.
