"If I go any further you might find a bit of magic".....- lol!! This series is so interesting! I also learned how they used two trucks full of equiptment and alternated them in order to make all of their gigs.
As just stated watch close how Jethro Tull, not only play the music extremely well, but how they are all over the stage and mixing with the fan's trying to please request that are yelled up to the stage while Ian Anderson throws his flute 20 feet up spinning in the air catching it just in time to go into the next bit....You'd have to have been at a show to catch my drift !
When JT transitioned from straight-ahead rock (Stand Up, Benefit) to "progressive" rock (Thick as a Brick and onwards), they lost me. And watching them play a backwater town like Red Deer, Alberta, Canada indicates they lost a lot of other people, too.
Well they also gained new fans after their folk rock albums and their later albums too. Jethro Tull have a broad variety of music. They're known for combining elements from jazz, blues, rock, classical and folk. Ian Anderson doesn't consider his style "progressive" despite many fans defining it as such.
I was fortunate enough to see Warchild, Songs From The Wood and Stormwatch tours with this classic line up...Awesome!
Thank you Ian for so much wonderful music !
Sadly you are correct...best lineup of TULL ever !
I miss them...glad I got to see them from songs from the wood tour forward.
was this still with John Glascock and Barriemore Barlow? They were sort of top of the crop

Their finest hour!!
Didn't know crossing the US/Canada border was such a huge hassle for artists that tour North America so frequently
@harryshand lol. I think he was doing the Nazareth tour in '79 :-)
That's being a musician, sometimes out of key

If that's the case, then could you please explain how 'Thick As A Brick' and 'A Passion Play' both made Billboard #1!
All their albums in the seventies were great.
