I was born in '78. I didn't go to my first legit concert until '87. I saw richie havens & he blew my little mind!! all of my childhood, I pined for the era of 1967 through 1973. I even wore bellbottom corduroys in high school!! hahaha!!
10 out of 10 for this live performance. I rediscovered Jethro few years back after just knowing and loving as a teenager, spoilt for so much music at the time, 'Living in the past'. I bought this album on remastered Vinyl. Classic. God knows how many times I've played it. Got me through a dark phase in my life. Also have on vinyl (new) Aqualung. Rock band with flute unique. The sound of that instrument is haunting.
Back again just revisited my favourites and realised this concert was a week after my wedding. If you're wondering us old folks are still together happily married. Well as happy as you can be after so many years. Since my last post have some more new vinyls added to my collection. Doors was one of them
I’m 17 and this is incredible! I am into the classic rock music from the 60s and 70s and this definitely hits my wheelhouse! Truly amazing! Rock on everyone! 🤘🏻🎸
Best frontman ever. Best band ever. This lineup, phenomenal. A tight and talented band at its absolute peak. We'll never see the like again but so grateful we have the legacy.
Saw them in the UK, many times. To say they are brilliant is an understatement. Ian Anderson has a skill that is unmatched. I'm having too old to rock and roll, too young to die as my funeral music...family not too happy with that.
Saw them once in 1978 Germany The "Bursting Out" live album tour. We think we were at one of the shows on the record because of some crowd noise and shouting. Not 100% sure. Anyway, it is still a highlight top ten concert after 45 years
@@craigschepers714 Hey, Mr Qualude, he just wants to visit and experience the joy these performers exuded on us. Myself, I've been going with friends since around 1980 after I turned 18. My first show, actually Tommy at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, my Dad took a friend and I to see it. That was awesome. If I could time travel, it could very well be to just see concerts. Nothing else really matters.
Absolutely! They should be, however, ask them if they know who the Beatles are or the rolling Stones or the who or Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin David Bowie anybody anybody from our era no they don't in the worst part is they're not even interested in they think it's music some of it should be banned and I'm no prude but seriously it's really raunchy, deplorable towards women.
I want to add to all this rap crap from this generation in a few before all this rap crap, sex and money is basically all it is. That's all they talk about, sing about Carrie there's no depth
@@bengal3665 It's unfair to lump ALL of the new generations as I am a gen Z (22 years old, so barely), and love music from the 60s and 70s. To list a few: Bob Dylan, Jethro Tull, Grateful Dead, Yes, Led Zeplin, The Stones, The Beatles, The Monkeys, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and there is at least 20 others that I cant think of at the moment. That said, I do agree that my generation's taste in music is awfully awful, and it repulses me when I heard new-age hiphop made purely to make money. Music needs to be authentic and artful in order for it to mean anything. Let me add that I don't necessarily dislike all new music. There are those artists that don't take the commercial record label route and make real art. A particular interesting one that my dad has gotten into (almost obsessively), is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Just to note, if you don't like them immediately give another album a chance as they aren't what they appear to be.
I'm 68 years old and have been listening to Jethro Tull since I was 16. I'd love to shake Ian Anderson's hand for all that he's done for us. He's the reason I set out to learn the flute, which I still play.
Saw them in Sydney 1970s, they shuffled on stage dressed as caretakers sweeping the stage, while the audience obliviously chatted. Throwing off the dustcoats they went straight into 'Aqualung', stunned audience, stunning gig, stunning band!
Yeah, the full concert film just shows how charismatic a performer Ian Anderson was back then and the tone of that Martin guitar he’s playing is beautiful.
If anyone tried leading a rock band with a flute today they couldn't do it without dripping with irony And here these guys are, absolutely killing it, completely sincere with no irony, and one of the best bands in the history of rock.
Yes - sarcasm, biting critique. None of the distant knowing self -consciousness of irony, the always in control: no, these guys worked their asses off for every acerbic statement. After all, who is thick as a brick? The fashionably ironic, of course!! That's Ian Anderson's point.
Hey,....I am 76, making me the senior member of this group, I am a rabid fan of Ian Anderson and his awesome flute playing ever since my youth when I used to play a recorder on the porch of our old family house which was located on the corner of Palestine and Wythe in the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution by the lake called Chautauqua, strange as that may seem, 18 miles long with a narrowing at Bemis Point which gave it the name of "bag tied in the middle" coined by the original native American tribe in their unique tongue! The house was so old that it had ghosts living in situ. I hope that the new owners are happy having to keep the spirit population entertained all the time, being a gregarious lot, in general. My mother trusted me to keep the place in order solo while I was still a youth so I got to know my ancestors very well, intimately at that, with whom I got along well enough.
My old man loved Jethro Tull. He'd listened to them in the 80s, when I was just a kid. I would then sneak secretly to steal his cassettes and listen to the "crazy guy with the flute" on my own. The old man died too soon. But I still see his face whenever I hear Anderson's flute. I'm today two years older than my old man when he died and I've been wildly missing him ever since.
@@darrenjourneytorunfaster Thanks mate! it's the kind of thing you can explain but you can't never really share. It's what make us what we are I suposse
I saw them in a large theatre and a small one - they were best in a small one - they got people from the audience up on stage to mime the beginning of songs from the wood which they said couldn't be done live - then broke into the best live performance I've ever seen with Ian Anderson standing on one leg not less than three feet in front of me - "much better than you could know - dust you down from tip to toe - hold steady if you can".
I saw him in LA too I think it was 78 or 79, also saw Van Halen, Pink Floyd the Wall original tour.. Peter Frampton with Jay Geils Band, Foghat, Rick Derringer, Howard Jones, Dead or Alive and many others in the 80's. Then I got married and had kids.
Human here who is appalled that everyone feels the need to announce their age and racial background before commenting. lol What a ridiculous world this has become.
I just love the bands presence, and especially how Ian Anderson uses his eyes and facial expressions and body. A pure showman who clearly loved what he was doing and I appreciate it so much. They were one of the best concerts I've ever seen my entire life.
So true. And I remember thinking about how my parents looked at music as a disposable thing and wondering if I would still love this album so much 20 years later. And fifty plus years later, the answer is YES.
I was fortunate to see them back in the 70s, and they put on amazing,entertaining shows each time. Anderson was a manic frontman that was extremely theatrical and knew how to give an exciting performance. Certainly deserving any and all the accolades that they received.
This is a top notch progressive-rock performance. Ian Anderson is an amazing and charismatic front-man. The teamwork with the band is tight and they are all having fun blowing their audience away. A good watch & listen!
I don’t pay attention to new music anymore. It’s ridiculous most of it. So happy I grew up in the 70’s and born in mid 60’s. Best of 60-2000 the forty years of just incredible music!
This scene was 72 the music was about a new chapter. It's almost al related . Life is a game. Everything is invented from necessity. We are necessity to a higher form of our own self . See those braches are like pictures we tske of family . To remember moment. We are more a living Memory say than some reality. We believe we are our Xreator..not comfortable being the tool. We see only tool maker in mirror. 🐕 eat 🐕 God's is no imogi for God ? God's monterrey Eve is everything. Learn it live it .only limited time to fix or well beg for mercy. 😂but the old we already no it all . Well it's got no real place anywhere . It's Fascist ways of life.
In late 1978 i met a girl which hold some LPs of Tull, and we spent the following 28 years together, until she passed away by an broken aneurysma... So this music was at last a sound tapestry of our lives, and therefor i selected "Life Is A Long Song" as the main title for her funeral.
That’s sad yet really cool. I had a brain aneurysm and man it was painful. Sorry for your loss but having someone you loved that long is incredible too!
The more I see the clips of their songs, the more I realize myself how lucky I was to be in the possibility attending five or even more of their concerts in those amazing years. One of the best rock bands ever.
Ian Anderson is the greatest flute player in the history of the instrument. Nobody can play like him, nor ever has. His voice is unique, and his stage presence could be on Broadway! Jethro Tull is one of the greatest and talented bands in rock history.
This kind of quality and innovation is inimitable, disruptive, threatening, ingenious, and catastrophic to today’s envy cultists. Openly proclaiming to the mediocre: you couldn’t do this if you gave it everything you have.
This song has been on a loop in my ears since the mid-1970s. My life has been enriched by Jethro Tull. Thank gawd I was born during a time this music was popular.
Midnight Special was such a treat. It was fun back in the day with so few choices because you then could talk to your friends that had expereinced the same things.
I'm 21 and i've been listening to rock music for almost a year now, but a couple of days ago i came across this band which i didnt know yet and I listened to the whole "thick as a brick" album and man... I've never listened to anything like this before!! This has to be one of the most underrated pieces of art ever! The way the music flows is insane, i love every single second of this record and Ian's voice is absolutely magnificent. If anyone has some suggestion of some more records by Jethro Tull that i must listen to to (other than "aqualung" and "a passion play") pls let me now!!!
This was an amazing performance. I'm assuming this line up was Ian, Martin Barre on lead guitar, John Glascock on bass, Barriemore Barlow on drums and then the two keyboard/organ players on the right side of the stage were Dee Palmer and John Evan.
I remember very well: Thick as brick was a poem wrote by a young boy (12 years old),"little Milton" and Anderson blowed his mind and make the music for it. Majestic Jethro Tull '72, like some "songs from the wood"❤.(from Jujuy,Argentina)
I've been listening to Ian and Jethro Tull for decades now And they will always be in my mind be the sole source of true Minstrel-Rock! Their sound is unique and Ian is a master musician & entertainer!
Minstrel rock is a good name for it; and references one of my favorite albums, and tunes; the title tune was amazing! Even the reverb on the vocals was unusual and cool; the whole thing sounded like a concert in a classical music hall; perfect production!
Good for you. But me I prefer All Around My Hat by a other English Folk Band of the 70,s. Forget the name were not a great hit as my late husband would say. Good enough. Loved loved the lady. Violinist. In the band pure operatic classic for me. Forget the name of band drats. Maybe you tube. Twigs on. Still can see them perform. On TV to
I actually partied with Ian 3 times😊❤, back in Kansas City MO. Back in the mid 70's!! The GREATEST Flute player in the history of Classic Rock (back when he had his AFRO Hair). GOD BLESS "IAN ANDERSON"❤❤❤
Deeply regret not seeing them live. One of the most unique bands ever. Ian Anderson is one-of-a-kind. Remember playing this album with eyes closed to soak it all in.
Jethro Tull, definitely a master musician that was under recognized and under appreciated. He will be awarded for his contribution to music by future generations that understand his talent.
I never under appreciated him. I always tried to sing however I play no instruments so the closest I could get. But then who can play flute like Tull? I wouldn't even try😉
Straight from the time when rock made sense, or as these musicians would say, the time when our parents were too old to rock n' roll and too young to die.
Im 52 years old and literally grew up on this music. Tell my wife all the time this genre of music with bands like Jethro Tull was the closest we, the modern world, ever came to the likes of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc. this classic rock music is so important to the history of music itself that there aren't words. Just watch a performance such as this and tell me otherwise. Prodigious. The song Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead is another example of this. There are far too many to count.
This is the absolute pinnacle of musical artistry. There will never be a better band, nor a more gifted musician or better performer than Ian Anderson. And he is unwell here.
Jaw dropping and eye popping performances are just another day for the Great Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull band. Thank you for posting this world class vid.
Wildly talented! Voice is unmatched - no autotune or sound engineers available or needed. And combined with his flute playing - crazy! I listened to them growing up, but am only now truly appreciating how talented this band is.
I think this will be like Mozart or Beethoven music that will never die; truly amazing, also a template for how to perform extraordinary live. I play no other music on repeat like Jethro. Greetings from Sweden!
Growing up in Cleveland, OH, I relished that I could visit the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame as often as I wanted. But it blows my mind that Jethro Tull with their unique and awesome album concepts has yet to be voted into the Hall of Fame, so the talents of Ian Anderson can be on display to everyone who visits it.
I never saw JT but their music impact is immeasurable. I was so fortunate to have lived in their music and time. We wore their albums out in my college days. Music history.
In the 70s they were DAMN good, I saw them about 15 times until the early nineties, I had almost forgotten how brilliant they were, this clip brings back all the memories from the old days. The best Tull concert ever for me was on 18.04.75, War Child Tour in Munich, that blew me away!
RIP Anna, who gave me the album for my 21st birthday. RIP Ronald, with whom I saw Tull at Colston Hall in ‘77. Watching this is a bittersweet experience crowded with great memories - and heartache.
The last time I saw Tull was in 1977 at the Capital Center in Maryland. Without doubt one of the top three best concerts I had ever attended. The show in Baltimore in 1974 was mind-blowing. Those days are, like a "cheap day return", sorely missed.
Wow!!! Saw them live in San Francisco about 50yrs ago, and I still get chills, laugh, cry, experience great joy!!! Kian Anderson is the Pied Piper of rock!!!!
They just don’t make them like this anymore! So grateful to have grown up during an era of such brilliant music.

My daughter is playing the flute much better than mr. Anderson...
Yeah? In what band is she????@@Drifter21031971

Brilliant ! Saw them in 1976. I was a young musician and they blew me away.
I'm so jealous. I was at the Bicentennial at the Boston Harbor. Hmm Tull yes.
and all these year later still does.

From the sounds to his expressions....amazing.
Ian is a wizard and the band's great, but we have to include Nils Frykdahl & IF/SGM in the discussion, surely?
What is the lineup?
@@Dukiedukester Anderson, Barre, Glascock, Evans, Barlow, Palmer.
Saw them in the UK, many times. To say they are brilliant is an understatement. Ian Anderson has a skill that is unmatched. I'm having too old to rock and roll, too young to die as my funeral music...family not too happy with that.
And now I need to check my funeral list to make sure it’s there!
Excellent choice
Very good choice my friend, very good choice.
Saw them once in 1978 Germany
The "Bursting Out" live album tour.
We think we were at one of the shows on the record because of some crowd noise and shouting. Not 100% sure.
Anyway, it is still a highlight top ten concert after 45 years
Saw the TAAB tour in 72. Performed it beginning to end and most of Aqualong. Awesome evening.
It’s kind of frightening how many things Ian Anderson is really really good at.
add banter and wit . Tricks on the audience
And wonderful.
See this is what kind of bands I want to see, no fireworks, no lights, just classic rock and roll. Wish I could’ve been there✊
I was there .Don't wish to live in the past .move forward remember what the past taught you

Seriously, lets give it up for Barriemore Barlow. One of my all time favorite drummers. That guy is such a beast.

Martin Barre is no slouch either!
Not bad on the xylophone.

A total, classical, modern MASTERPIECE! Thank you Mr. Anderson!👍👏👏👏
I was fortunate to see them back in the 70s, and they put on amazing,entertaining shows each time. Anderson was a manic frontman that was extremely theatrical and knew how to give an exciting performance. Certainly deserving any and all the accolades that they received.

Agreed. With the exception of Heavy Metal album of the year 😂
Why? Crest of a Knave I think is one of Tull's top albums, easily in top 10, if not close to top 5. Reinvigorated the whole band after Under Wraps.

In late 1978 i met a girl which hold some LPs of Tull, and we spent the following 28 years together, until she passed away by an broken aneurysma... So this music was at last a sound tapestry of our lives, and therefor i selected "Life Is A Long Song" as the main title for her funeral.
That’s sad yet really cool. I had a brain aneurysm and man it was painful. Sorry for your loss but having someone you loved that long is incredible too!
Stand Up
Sorry for your loss. 😥
Jethro, not the Beatles, not the Stones, but a class of their own. Unthinkable today.
Like alone,?
Lightfooted,travel light
On way home
Not a heavy carry
At 67 years and I still love Tull and the band.
yer 70 now👍🌹
75 and still my favourite band. X
66
78 and stii locomotive breath
Hey, me too!
There's nobody like him. After decades he still amazes me and invites wonder at his exquisite talent.
Yes amazing! 😁🎶
TULL at full chat for two and a half minutes; 6:30 - 9.00... In the pantheon of Prog Rock - it doesn't get any better!
This was on my 16th birthday 😁 so glad I grew up with music like this ❤
there has never been a talent and character in rock music,
quite like, the inimitable, I.A.🌟
The more I see the clips of their songs, the more I realize myself how lucky I was to be in the possibility attending five or even more of their concerts in those amazing years. One of the best rock bands ever.
Theatrical performance backed up with sheer musical talent. We will probably never see the likes again.
Ian Anderson is the greatest flute player in the history of the instrument. Nobody can play like him, nor ever has. His voice is unique, and his stage presence could be on Broadway! Jethro Tull is one of the greatest and talented bands in rock history.
Absolutely! 💯%
This kind of quality and innovation is inimitable, disruptive, threatening, ingenious, and catastrophic to today’s envy cultists. Openly proclaiming to the mediocre: you couldn’t do this if you gave it everything you have.
I’ve found a cover or two on SoundCloud, by niche musicians without auto tune.
Agree, music today doesn’t have the same oomph as it did in my early life 71 now and the music from my teens is still loved by all
This song has been on a loop in my ears since the mid-1970s. My life has been enriched by Jethro Tull. Thank gawd I was born during a time this music was popular.
You and me both. Bursting Out was my first listen to JT. It has been part of the soundtrack of my life to this very day.
What a great comment!💥👍
❤❤❤❤ amazing
As a child I had been listening to everything. I saw this madman on midnight special. The next day I got on my bike and found the album.
Midnight Special was such a treat. It was fun back in the day with so few choices because you then could talk to your friends that had expereinced the same things.
Brilliant odd ball brilliance, I bet there are plenty of serious musicians who secretly listen to Jethro Tull
I'm 21 and i've been listening to rock music for almost a year now, but a couple of days ago i came across this band which i didnt know yet and I listened to the whole "thick as a brick" album and man... I've never listened to anything like this before!! This has to be one of the most underrated pieces of art ever! The way the music flows is insane, i love every single second of this record and Ian's voice is absolutely magnificent. If anyone has some suggestion of some more records by Jethro Tull that i must listen to to (other than "aqualung" and "a passion play") pls let me now!!!
Songs From the Woods, Stand Up, Benefit...
This line up was favorite and this makes my heart Happy
This was an amazing performance. I'm assuming this line up was Ian, Martin Barre on lead guitar, John Glascock on bass, Barriemore Barlow on drums and then the two keyboard/organ players on the right side of the stage were Dee Palmer and John Evan.
Your assumption is correct. That infact is the correct names of the members of the band in this video. My favorite lineup of the Mighty Jethro Tull.
I remember very well: Thick as brick was a poem wrote by a young boy (12 years old),"little Milton" and Anderson blowed his mind and make the music for it. Majestic Jethro Tull '72, like some "songs from the wood"❤.(from Jujuy,Argentina)
🎉 h
What a talent !!!!
What a musician !!!
What a bloody f... group !!!
Their music is still magnificent!!
I've been listening to Ian and Jethro Tull for decades now And they will always be in my mind be the sole source of true Minstrel-Rock! Their sound is unique and Ian is a master musician & entertainer!
Minstrel rock is a good name for it; and references one of my favorite albums, and tunes; the title tune was amazing! Even the reverb on the vocals was unusual and cool; the whole thing sounded like a concert in a classical music hall; perfect production!
It just doesn't get old, does it?
I still have an Ian Anderson poster from the early 70's.
Love his music and his voice.
Good for you. But me I prefer All Around My Hat by a other English Folk Band of the 70,s. Forget the name were not a great hit as my late husband would say. Good enough. Loved loved the lady. Violinist. In the band pure operatic classic for me. Forget the name of band drats. Maybe you tube. Twigs on. Still can see them perform. On TV to
@@yvonnelessick9880Steeleye Span?
One of the most distinctive voices of all popular music

I smoked about 5 million joints listening to this album in the 70"s and 80"s a classic album 👍👌
Same here. And drumming to it in my room. This album was a huge challenge for drummers.
@@kirbygene I bet it was, I couldn't do it but I really excelled at smoking weed to it 👍😂
Lol, I lost count after the first mil.
I actually partied with Ian 3 times😊❤, back in Kansas City MO. Back in the mid 70's!! The GREATEST Flute player in the history of Classic Rock (back when he had his AFRO Hair).
GOD BLESS "IAN ANDERSON"❤❤❤
Sounds like a hoot and a party🎉
I was watching this and thinking he looks like he had a few bumps lol.
Deeply regret not seeing them live. One of the most unique bands ever. Ian Anderson is one-of-a-kind. Remember playing this album with eyes closed to soak it all in.
Jethro Tull, definitely a master musician that was under recognized and under appreciated. He will be awarded for his contribution to music by future generations that understand his talent.
I never under appreciated him. I always tried to sing however I play no instruments so the closest I could get. But then who can play flute like Tull? I wouldn't even try😉
@@ld3511 Jethro Tull is the name of the band, and Ian Anderson plays the flute.
Straight from the time when rock made sense, or as these musicians would say, the time when our parents were too old to rock n' roll and too young to die.
Im 52 years old and literally grew up on this music. Tell my wife all the time this genre of music with bands like Jethro Tull was the closest we, the modern world, ever came to the likes of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc. this classic rock music is so important to the history of music itself that there aren't words. Just watch a performance such as this and tell me otherwise. Prodigious. The song Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead is another example of this. There are far too many to count.
Talk about absolutely nailing this one......so damn good!!!!
This is the absolute pinnacle of musical artistry. There will never be a better band, nor a more gifted musician or better performer than Ian Anderson. And he is unwell here.
One of the greatest groups of all time!
Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow. But I digress. They are bloody brilliant. Ecstatic yet controlled.
Best Rock band of All Times.
And too good for the fake R&R Hall of Fame!!
Jaw dropping and eye popping performances are just another day for the Great Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull band. Thank you for posting this world class vid.
Wildly talented! Voice is unmatched - no autotune or sound engineers available or needed. And combined with his flute playing - crazy! I listened to them growing up, but am only now truly appreciating how talented this band is.
Exactly my experience. SO GLAD I found them again!! ❤
The very best years to be alive and the giants of music seemed to get better and better.
Pure brilliance. Never short-changed by Tull at ANY 20th Century concert ever.
And I maybe saw 12 of them!!
I played this album and didn't scratch about 202,376,003 times when 13. God Bless whomever shared this.
I think this will be like Mozart or Beethoven music that will never die; truly amazing, also a template for how to perform extraordinary live. I play no other music on repeat like Jethro. Greetings from Sweden!
Yes. Also Aesop Rock.
I was brought up on this and sadly took it for granted.
Ian Anderson is a true minstrel.
Classic line-up. The band at their best.
Unreal and amazing live band!
Growing up in Cleveland, OH, I relished that I could visit the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame as often as I wanted. But it blows my mind that Jethro Tull with their unique and awesome album concepts has yet to be voted into the Hall of Fame, so the talents of Ian Anderson can be on display to everyone who visits it.
That is a crime... politics is virtually everywhere😢
He didn't conform to the snobs expectations. He was his own man no one owned.
I never saw JT but their music impact is immeasurable. I was so fortunate to have lived in their music and time. We wore their albums out in my college days. Music history.
I got the honor of seeing Jethro Tull in Mannheim Germany back in the early 90s. Thank you Ian Anderson.
1978 St. Paul, MN, when concerts were still good.
This is music not thé crap of today.
Ian is an underrated and overlooked musical genius. This guy could play any instrument he picked up and play it better than most
He's not underrated.
There will never be another band this Original and Wonderful!
Saw them in Mumbai in 2007 or so and they still had it !! One of my favorite bands ..
To dance around like a madman than casually hop back on the mic in time for a intricate flute lick like that.... !!! 🤯
Intricate? Superficial at best.
That's incredible...shivers every time! What a wonderful masterpiece!
Sadly...Those days are gone...
I am so grateful to have seen them live twice - I wish it could have been dozens !
Most bands put on a show, but Tull created masterpieces like this.
Великий композитор, поэт, флейтист, исполнитель, артист...
Одна из лучших групп в арт роке (прогрессиве).
Потрясающий альбом.
In the 70s they were DAMN good, I saw them about 15 times until the early nineties, I had almost forgotten how brilliant they were, this clip brings back all the memories from the old days. The best Tull concert ever for me was on 18.04.75, War Child Tour in Munich, that blew me away!
I saw Jethro Tull at the candle light in Scarborough late 60s small gig never forget that night
what part of England is Scarborough. Popular name iin Aussie and South Africa. For beaches
Hi Scarborough is on our East Coast
RIP Anna, who gave me the album for my 21st birthday. RIP Ronald, with whom I saw Tull at Colston Hall in ‘77. Watching this is a bittersweet experience crowded with great memories - and heartache.
4:47 I always love hearing the crash of that tambourine as Ian lashes it across the stage lol. What a concert this is, great footage from 1977.
Isle of Wright recordings video are raw ....Glenn Cornicks bass is great
Ya lucky to have seen Tull a couple of times. Great music, show and showman.
the best band ever till now
This brings me back to my happy times, love Jethro Tull!!!!
👍 Best wishes from Istanbul. TULLTURK
My man Ian is going straight to heaven and beyond his talents!!!
The last time I saw Tull was in 1977 at the Capital Center in Maryland. Without doubt one of the top three best concerts I had ever attended. The show in Baltimore in 1974 was mind-blowing.
Those days are, like a "cheap day return", sorely missed.
Wow!!! Saw them live in San Francisco about 50yrs ago, and I still get chills, laugh, cry, experience great joy!!! Kian Anderson is the Pied Piper of rock!!!!
