Best Tull line up ever- Anderson’s biggest mistake sacking that group. Most creative, innovative, talented bunch. Songs From the Wood, Heavy Horses, and Stormwatch.
Ian blames miscommunication between record company and band. Cant guess. Those 3 albums were genius... Forests & Fairies / Farms & Country / Sea & Ships.
You are probably right..I think Ian has always tried to be the Frank Zappa sort of band leader...."This Was"...next is! You have Ian to blame or to love for the music and that is it!
I saw Tull a few times back in the 70's but just recently l saw Martin Barre, he played the entire "The Aqualung" album and ended with a encore of "Teacher ", yes! I still go to concerts, l'm old not dead...lol! 🤘😝🎶
No Lullaby is from Heavy Horses. In the flute solo, the tune after "God rest ye ..." is "Kelpie", or part of it. Kelpie ended up a bonus track on Stormwatch (album after HH).
Ian Anderson's dad was being interviewed once and they asked him '' What do you think of Ian's music> Do you like his music''? He said '' I wasn't very fond of Ian's music, Until i saw the first royalty check. '
Ian Anderson, the Granddaddy of beatbox flute. Many copied him. He's a bad ass. His best flute solo is Tampa Bay 1976. Awsome!! Enjoy your channel.. so far lol
No, not David Palmer on the right side of the stage; that's John Evan. David's on the left side of the stage. Tony Williams was sitting in for their regular bassist, John Glascock, who was sick at the time. "No Lullabye" is from Heavy Horses; there's also a great live version on Bursting Out.
Lee, you should listen to 1978 live album 'Bursting Out' ; Nobody has done it yet, and I'm sure you'll have much much much fun!! A great flute solo is also included, and you will also hear one of the best drums solos ever, performed by Barrimore! ...
Was at the Berlin portion of that live album - one of the "young American boys" Ian addressed just before "Thick as a Brick." To this day one of the very best shows I've ever seen and heard.
Give you the 78 show on a real stereo. The live album "bursting out" on a proper hifi is an Real great stage. When you home alone, put it on the speakers👌
Always such a great performance from Jethro Tull, I saw them several places but the Isle of Wight Concert is one of the best. . They have so Many superb tracks.
They’re touring rn. Just left for Brazil. Catch him if you can! I’ve seen them a dozen times over the years (first time in 1975 Songs From the Woods tour). Top 5 bands in my Pantheon of rock legends. Ever since I heard the opening notes of Aqualung, I was like “WTF is this?” (although we didn’t say wtf back then, just plain old "what the fuck!!” Anyway I digress…. Ian was (is) a wildman on stage. I love the interplay of rock, Celtic sounds, blues and classical. His flute playing has been studied by musicologists, and he was never taught. Story goes he bought a flute one day in the early days of the band and he was the only one who could get a sound out of it, so…. you’re our flute player! Lol.
I have this dvd and it's pretty kick ass. Also if you could please do a reaction to My God from The Isle of Wight show. You won't be disappointed. It's amazing!
Moose knuckle Monday at Madison Square Garden, 1978........Im talking out my ass. Anyways, love this song. And the album.as a whole. This song, the opener, moths, Weathercock. Freaking awesome songwriting, flawless execution.
John Evan was on the keyboards to the right, not David Palmer. Palmer was to the left (from the audience view) on the portative organ, I only saw him from his back. Palmer was a classical musician and orchestral director who did strings and orchestral parts on Tull albums and travelled on tour in this case, but was not "official" Jethro Tull. In 1980 or so he and John left Tull to create another musical thing that didn't go anywhere. John wanted to play Mozart and Beethoven concertos at that time and tired of touring. This was the point when Tull only had Ian and Martin left, and their sound changed from what I loved through the 1970s, more of an 80's sound.
From the North American tour 1979 official program: On October 9, 1978 Jethro Tull celebrated 10 years of recording and touring together with a very special live performance. The concert was not only sold out at Madison Square Garden but was also live simulcast by satellite to millions of television viewers in Europe. A fitting climax to ten years of great touring.

Ian blames miscommunication between record company and band. Cant guess. Those 3 albums were genius... Forests & Fairies / Farms & Country / Sea & Ships.
Glascock, barlowe, evan, the best. Guess it was also an ego thing.
Agree 💯 %

Yeah man, those three are the best Tull ever released. There are other moments but those are the pinnacle of their work.
Loved it when performers actually played real instruments and sang.
Agree 💯 %
Magical frolicking prankster at his best. So gruff yet so refined. Thanks for this!
I saw Tull a few times back in the 70's but just recently l saw Martin Barre, he played the entire "The Aqualung" album and ended with a encore of "Teacher ", yes! I still go to concerts, l'm old not dead...lol! 🤘😝🎶
Haha. Not dead too.
I was very fortunate to have seen this tour at MSG. There's no other way to describe Tull: they are simply their own genre.
I think there was only one night? October 1979... we may have been at same show!
This was October 9, 1978,@@dongiovanni6796. The video production part of it was only that one night, if that's what you meant?
No Lullaby is from Heavy Horses. In the flute solo, the tune after "God rest ye ..." is "Kelpie", or part of it. Kelpie ended up a bonus track on Stormwatch (album after HH).
Guitar playing was phenomenal. Martin Barre, one of the unsung heroes in the Guitar World .
What an explosion of music we had. That brought a smile to your face!! ❤😊

I agree I was in Tampa
The majority of this concert was broadcast live on BBC TV on 9/10/78. Trivia fact - I used to work with Tony Williams Aunt.....

Awesome. Heard it many, many times, but never seen it performed live.
Can't imagine how they arrived at this riddle of creativity. Amazing blend of sound💥👍
Such an iconic, original and beloved band, and ian live performances, what a treat!

The man playing the electric guitar is the greatest guitar player on Earth. His name is Martin Barre. Pronounced Bar
Martin Lancelot Barre .... 🤙🎸
I love The witches promise and Living in the past. Two awesome songs by Jethro Tull
Twin keyboards -David [now Dee] Palmer (left) portative pipe organ etc., John Evans (right) piano etc.
Always such a great performance from Jethro Tull, I saw them several places but the Isle of Wight Concert is one of the best. . They have so Many superb tracks.
Mr Ian is amazing! Hoping the internet connects long enough for me to watch later. As always, thoughts with you and your girls x
They’re touring rn. Just left for Brazil. Catch him if you can!
I’ve seen them a dozen times over the years (first time in 1975 Songs From the Woods tour). Top 5 bands in my Pantheon of rock legends.

Ian started out playing the harmonica then switched to the flute. Self taught.
Their music reminds me of the Renaissance period.
I love Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses album.
My favorite .. there's not one song to skip
I have this dvd and it's pretty kick ass. Also if you could please do a reaction to My God from The Isle of Wight show. You won't be disappointed. It's amazing!

it was a live satellite broadcast from US to UK - hence the "tele" comment.
Check out Jethro tull 1976 at Tampa Stadium Thick As A Brick . Ian's on fire .

PS Those were the days!
John Evan’s in white, David Palmer, now Dee Palmer in black.
John glasscock is playing the bass At tampa stadium on this tour
Tony was replacing John who was sick at the time.
It was a great show. Thick as a brick from this show is perfect.
TaaB is good at the Garden, but TaaB from Tampa Stadium on the same tour is better It's on youtube, check it out.
Check out Andrew Tisbert's covers of Tull classics. You won't believe it. His band is "Attic of Love" They are the best band, since Jethro Tull.
This was a sight and sound simultaneous transatlantic broadcast. First of its kind.
