What times we had back then freedoms without threat great music excellent education and hope for a better future than our parents! Most of all great music, John Peel and brilliant bands like Tull. Marvellous!!
I bought Stand Up on the day it was released and This Was sometime later. A friend had a copy and I hadn't bought the album before Stand Up was released. I was an avid Peel listener in those days and most likely listened to this when it was boadcast. Tull have always been part of my life, I am now 68. The first few albums are some of the best albums still in my collection. Listening to this session is a joy.
I am also 68, went to the John Peel In Concert recordings at the Paris Studio's in Lower Regent Street Thursday nights and loved every second of it all! We are very lucky to have lived in those times - bought Stand Up and Benefit and I have been sold on Tull ever since, the soundtrack to my life!
My brother was a roadie for Jethro Tull for a while in the 70's, knackered himself driving their gear all over Europe. Never knew why he did it, because after a spell with the Doctors of Madness he spent the next decade or so hanging out with the Fairport Convention crowd, which was much more his thing. Maybe Tull paid their truckers good money, or perhaps the bass guitar he toted around then was a clue,. He never got to play with them, if that's what he was hoping for ...
without a doubt and adding john evan on piano rounded the sound out along with martin barre on guitar who had a monster guitar sound on stand up and benefit
pisses all over the album versions, but it still holds a big place in my heart as it was the first album i ever bought. had that amazing pop-out inside the sleeve. saw it second hand for 40 quid a few years back. worth even more now. the intro to new day - wow!
Dave, You can buy the re-issued vinyl with the pop up included inside the gatefold sleeve with a booklet at Amazon for around £18. Beautiful reproduction and sound.www.amazon.co.uk/Stand-Steven-Wilson-Remix-VINYL/dp/B01NGYX23V/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=jethro+tull+-+stand+up&qid=1565177186&s=gateway&sr=8-1
wow..just found this and love it! Love the early TULL...is it me,,but this sounds better than the studio album versions on STAND UP?...great mix here. THX for sharing.
The photo on this clip was used on the back of Tull's "This Was" album issued in 1968. The line up did not include Martin Barre, who plays on this session, but Mick Abrahams (far right). I believe that Living In The Past was also played on the show, but I don't think it was recorded at the session; it sounds very close to the original 1969 single but appears to be slightly re-mixed. I have heard of bands that would sneak in pre-recorded items without the engineers noticing. I think this may well be one of those sneaked-in items.
The BBC recording of “Living in the Past’ is actually the soundtrack to their June 1969 appearance on Top Of The Pops. Musicians Union rules insisted that bands at least re-recorded the vocals for the show. So we have a rough mono mix done probably by a junior engineer with maybe a vocal track from the original multi-track tape and then Ian would have sung over the top of that in the BBC studio. Similar audio tapes exist in the BBC archives for the TOTP performances of “Sweet Dream” (November 1969) and “The Witch's Promise” (January 1970) but the sound quality is sub-standard, nowhere near as good as a proper BBC radio session.
one weekend, we stopped to catch Tull in Rochester, then forged ahead to New York City to see Butthole Surfers! 90s grunge band Screaming Trees do a ripping cover of this. (New Day)
@@richrol58 actually, rich, I never forgot tull for good, I replaced lost stand up vinyl with cd reissue about ten years ago. listen, it's distinctive engaging music, but, more than any other genre, rock is as much about image/ stance as it's about music and no way could I identify with those guys at age seventeen or so, now not so much an issue.
How could anyone* listen to this fabulous band and conclude it would benefit from a new drummer and bassist. But they were both soon to be chucked out. * Yes I mean you Mr Anderson!
It was Clive Bunker's personal choice to leave as it was for Mick Abrahams. No one kicked either of them out. Glenn Cornick was kicked out. He was hitting the drugs too hard which made him totally unreliable.
@@sav7568 my comments were based on a conversation I had with Terry Ellis, who co-managed the band. When I bought up the gradual departures of the original members he explained that it gave Ian Anderson control of the band, to hire whom he wanted. Hence I was left with the impression that Anderson wanted these people out.
Great live recording, rivaling the studio versions. Yes, the band was tight, but, as a winds player myself, I was always inspired by Ian's playing, whether flute or guitar. He did the Rhassan Roland Kirk growl through the flute like no one (besides Kirk). In concert, I was blown away by his cover of "Serenade to a Cuckoo." Unforgettable!
ian just didnt realise the greatness of glenn cornick r.i.p and clive bunker..this was magic..the other line ups were good.not great..glenn ciuld play circles around jeffrey hammond..clive was along with ginger baker and mitch mitchel..the best if their era.bonzo was the best thumper and barlow best technician.
Clive and Dave Pegg were probably the only band members who did mostly leave of their own accord. The story of Glenn's unfortunate dismissal is pretty well known, of course--it didn't mean Ian didn't recognize their immense talent...If the genius musical and song-writing vision of Anderson hadn't been so wide-ranging he would never have had the need to OCCASIONALLY change musicians to suit what he was doing--If he was blinkered it was in this regard... What he could have used were better "communication skills" (what he probably would have looked upon as being overly sentimental...)
Never get tired of Jethro Tull playing their music. Ever.

Clive was such an under rated drummer. A New Day is AWESOME.!!!!

Awesome indeed. Far better than the studio stuff. Damn, those Peel Sessions are the real thing!
Supposedly, by this time Peel had actually made it known that he wasn't happy with the post-This Was direction of the band...
No it isn't - maybe it is - I dunno - fuck me - you're right
With Cornick and Bunker, the best Tull line-up.
without a doubt and adding john evan on piano rounded the sound out along with martin barre on guitar who had a monster guitar sound on stand up and benefit
I saw warchild thru mid 90 bout 17x.msg nyc beacon.every album tour..my fav thick thru strmwtch..orig 2nd .A.3..all great tho.now? Im old

I've got a vinyl copy, didn't know it was worth anything. Cheers.

Its not just you!
Glenn Cornick had a grrreat bass style, artistic talent and skill for JT. Sure wished he stayed on for a couple more albums.
ian anderson put paid to that!
@@morrisanderson3180 because there were too many joints
The sound is clear and superb.
Another fine session, thank you!
Fabuleux. Un grand groupe unique
It's a big YES from me.
Caramba , they were good !

Strangers Die Everyday
The Greatest Minstrels who ever Lived.
fantastic
I bought this album unheard and liked it but forgot all about it after I heard mott the hoople
Haha--you're joking, right?
ha ha--no i'm not. and all I have to add to that is that musical taste is very subjective and personal, I swear to our Father high in Heaven.
@@jimrader5299 Of course, there are plenty of worse bands who could make you forget Tull (for good??)--thanks for being a good sport...

Es como volver a la época medieval 👏👏👏✌️🇨🇱😷
Never as good live as the original album cuts but good to hear spontaneity that live music brings.
One of my fav peel sessions. Soooo good n better than the recordings. Filystyrene
molt bons en directe i en estudi.Els vaig veure a Barcelona el 1979 i encara els escolto amb la neta.

Agree with you Sir - I.A. very blinkered man.

This is the kinda shit that's made life bearable through the years.
Cómo me presta!
👍
Likes you get, I see and double🤘
It all started to deteriorate after Benefit.
My heads are over my hand right now
Mr Lamb..society didnt think so...
Acid...
Anyone know who is playing guitar on this? I would guess Barre, but it seems very early...
Aye...it was Barre
