Having procured an exclusive back stage pass from a former Tull roadie named Maurice, who invited me to meet the band during the ‘Songs from the Woods’ tour, I was able to meet Barriemore Barlow and spend time behind his drum riser during the concert. A dream come true for a young drummer fanatic as myself. Barrie even invited me to share in his ample stash of Heineken beers. A true gentleman. Rather than just playing drum beats, I feel that Barrie was painting pictures with the drums creating tapestries of sonic rhythms. No equal in my eyes.
Ahhh, the best times of my life, going to a Tull concert. Thanks for the footage, sometimes I forget just how entertaining Tull was. Passion Play was my favorite.
Ahh those were the days. What fun. My first Jethro Tull concert, 1973 Chicago Stadium. A Passion Play. Of all the concerts I’ve been to that is my all time favorite. More like an event at the time. Wish I could go back and experience it all over again. ( minus the pot ).
Great to see yet more previously unseen footage of the band as they continued to develop their unique talent from being a bit rackety and sloppy to a more sophisticated and intricate outfit.
My first time seeing them in concert was also for the Warchild tour. I saw them in San Diego. I had no idea what was in store. It blew me away at age 14. I liked them OK before but I became a huge fan and saw them maybe six times. They were so good in concert. I wish there was broadcast quality footage from this tour.
At 83% tax on earned income, I’d attempt to become a tax exile, also. When taxes border on an almost confiscatory level, rational people take pretty dramatic action to avoid them. 83% is absurd.
Night Cup é de 73 disco duplo,muito muito muito progressivo,tem uma faixa que parece ser um enxame de abelhas seguida de um som denso e pesadão,Uma atmosfera de fumaça,tem uma garrafa de wisk na capa discasso. Sou fã fã fã fã fã fã fã da BANDA é à música que mais gosto de ouvir.
Jethro Tull original line-up, the most unlikely of rock stars. Where did Ian get his stage moves? Could you imagine John Evan having to move like that thru a whole show? Thankfully he got to sit at the piano the whole time. Jethro Tull is just not the same without John Evan...
@@oskacho True...too old to rock and roll to young to die....great bass player !...check out Carmen,,,the band he was in before Tull. John had a beautiful singing voice too.
BArriemore Barlowe was John Bonhams pick for best English drummer....EVER ! Page needed Barlowe on 1988's 'Outrider' CD, as Jason couldn't play a few songs.
Strange how every guy in the band who isn't Ian Anderson cedes the stage to him; they seem like they don't want to get in his way or pretend to get the attention that only Ian Anderson is supposed to get. I thought Ian Anderson was amazing, but you can see that he was an attention sponge. On stage it fires him up and he uses it, and the result is great, but the other guys don't seem to have much personality. Or rather, what personality they have has not been able to flourish the way Ian's has. It's a but upsetting, to tell the truth, to see them all coy and trying to stay out of his way. It used to be one of my main fantasies to meet Ian Anderson, but I don't think I would have liked it. I would gush and it wouldn't affect him; he wouldn't be interested in me at all. I'm sure he'd be cordial and friendly, in a superficial way, but meeting me wouldn't affect him personally any more than Martin Barre's guitar solo the previous night.

Ian Anderson's commentary is next level BRILLIANT!
Как приятно видеть их молодыми!!!
War child😍 One of those albums is g perfect from beginning to end.! Recently bought the remastered cd so I can listen with headphones.
Enjoy!! (Again)🥰😍

So good. Ian’s humor makes it enjoyable.
I love this....God Bless Jethro Tull!!

I was there for Thick as brick as well. Aragon ballroom for the Benefit tour earlier on. Amazing thrills that last a lifetime. We were fortunate.
Enjoying Ian's funny comments. "Claude mustache puts ours to shame" even if you see Barrie :))
Nothing better.
Thank you Sir Ian for sharing this fabulous recollection! Much appreciated and delight to see from a Golden Era that sadly was never fulfilled.
Anderson in full origin denial: 'English band....like The Bay City Rollers...' Aye, right Ian!
So interesting to see the lads offstage in their "normal" attire. Would hardly recognize Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond without his usual facial hair.
Actually he had...but he changed in every year :)
Son MARAVILLOSOS...JETHRO TULL...
Great to see yet more previously unseen footage of the band as they continued to develop their unique talent from being a bit rackety and sloppy to a more sophisticated and intricate outfit.
Rackety and sloppy I don't think so.
Ian is too much of a perfectionist to allow rackety and sloppy.
Ian you're a riot!
Lovely footage...
When "Rock Stars" smoked pipes....
Saw them in Cardiff on the War Child tour. They were excellent.

Cool to hear ian poking fun at the band members there in.

Mr Suit!!!🤣😂
Thanks for this amazing Jan. 1974 footage. Wonder what happened to the original audio?
I think there was no audio originally...
Yes, wish there was the audio

They weren't the same without any of these guys sadly. Losing Barrie Barlow was maybe the worst loss every suffered by a band.
Not the original line-up, but my favorite and most successful Tull line-up.
@@stevet7487 Indeed, at this point the only original member is Ian himself.
Alvin Stardust? I now need to see Ian pointing a leather glove at the camera singing My Coo Ca Choo.
Nice
GREAT
RIP John Glascock. You are missed.
Yes but he came a few albums later
@@oskacho True...too old to rock and roll to young to die....great bass player !...check out Carmen,,,the band he was in before Tull. John had a beautiful singing voice too.
The eternal conundrum: is it Evan or Evans?
Does anybody know what the music playing in the background is? Lovely hammond playing, could be John Evans
BArriemore Barlowe was John Bonhams pick for best English drummer....EVER ! Page needed Barlowe on 1988's 'Outrider' CD, as Jason couldn't play a few songs.
I loved Barry’s drumming. One the best ever I think.
Funky Claude has the Zappa moustache. Or vice versa.
He looks like Jon Lord
"nothing is easy"
Ha ha very funny The rutledge?Ian speeking?
Does anyone know if the live clips towards the end are from the Passion Play tour?
BCR were Scottish folks 😂

Ian Anderson used to be something of a hero to me, but the more his pompous voice is heard, the more he slips down the list.
And he's Scottish as well! He sounds more like an English Gent than Scottish singer.
Wish we could hear the original audio instead of Ian's elderly self effacing fuddy duddery.
