you watch ian anderson here and you can understand why they became one of the biggest bands in the world-he looks like a raving madman but you cannot take your eyes off him- fantastic performance-
Watching this concert changed my life in 1985. It was on MTV on a Saturday night. I had begun getting into EC but his music became an obsession after this.. Tim Renwick, of course, plays brilliantly here as well. Great stuff all around.
I’d love to be sitting in a field with a couple of cans on a hot summers evening listening to this classic sound. If it ever stops raining in Newcastle in 2024, a field in Northumberland is where I shall b very soon enjoying this very track!
As a child, I had an FM radio that had no stations and one day when I was getting high Jethro Tull came on the air it was a new day yesterday, but it’s an old day now
A top song of its time when pop music was moving forward trying new things,proper musicians, not like today's pre-programmed rubbish. By the way Ian Anderson is a good laugh and looked great 😅.
Im having the time of my life genning up on Fleetwood Mac. I knew Jeremy Spencer from school in Lichfield and Stafford Art College. We briefly played guitar together, but once he'd left Fleetwood Mac for the cult I lost all interest. So with all this personal and musical stuff on the internet, in my old age, I'm very into learning about the whole , continuing, fascinating saga.
Even Saville's presence at the end makes this video perfect. He may or not have messed with the wrong (to himself, if course) people, after all, and got cursed...
We are all fans of many bands but Ian Anderson and Tull on 50 years of reflection i think are certainly amongst the very elite. Anderson was not only a great songwriter, musical composer and arranger but played many instruments superbly well. Also self taught. And although maniacally looking on stage was one of the few that didn’t allow fame to overtake him Incredibly humble person
