Tull was my favorite band in high school school and into college. Saw the band three times and would have to say for my taste they were the best live show going and I saw a bunch of the great arena acts.
I have not found many covers of this great song ,you guys hit it out of the park ! Thanks for sharing a great song and your amazing talent with us ! Keep Rockin.
Outstanding for a garage band like we had back in the mid 60’s early 70’s, all are talented. The drummer is smooth, I like that you played with your own expression. Good luck keep ‘em coming.
PERFECT! Excellent! STUNNINGLY GREAT! I saw Jethro Tull when this album was released in 1971 at the Alexandria roller rink. The opening band was Yes. It was an absolutely amazing show! We were all very lucky. THANKS!
Wow dude, Jethro Tull on the Aqualung tour and Yes on the Fragile tour you're a lucky man, what a show that must have been! '71 imo was THEE greatest year in classic rock and if time machines become a thing before I die that's where I'm going, Aqualung, Fragile, Machine Head, Master of Reality and on and on wow
I saw them in Wildwood NJ. at the boardwalk Convention Hall July 1971. Yes also opened that show and I’ve learned it was their first American appearance. They were promoting the brand new Yes album. Tony Kaye was on keys then. Fragile had not been released at this time. Starship Trooper was the pinacles of that very memorable show!
Super impressed. Hesitant to favour one over the others, as you were all great, but, the vocalist really had Ian's tone down. Totally enjoyed this performance.
This is one of my favorite songs and OMG you guys are AMAZING!!! It is May 28, 2023. You made a 69 yr old lady escape to better, younger days. At least in my mind! Thank you!
From humble beginnings these players and many others that joined in along the way gaining popularity until the COVID Pandemic shut things down in 2019.
I have been enjoying the music produced by this band right up to 2019, I am amazed at the professional quality that they put out there time after time! BRAVO !!
Im have been appreciating these great performances on Ytube and noticed the line up of the band seems to vary. Is the Neighborhood Band an actual band or is it the venue. Just curious. Anyone know?
Hi Steve, thanks for watching. The Neighborhood Picnic Band as we are called now, is not a band but a once a year gig involving 10-15 lifelong friends(and a few of our children) who grew up together in Glenview Illinois, a suburb northwest of Chicago. We've been doing this since 2006. I'll be uploading the 2023 picnic next week. We each pick 3 new songs in March and figure out who does what on each tune. Half the guys live around the country, and we only rehearse together the day before the gig. Never to play these songs together again. It's a one shot deal, new songs every year. 2023 videos will be our last as there will be no more picnic gigs due to personnel changes and the fact that it's a lot of work for just one gig, especially at our age. When we started this in 2006 we would have never thought we we still be doing it in 2023. Videos only from 2010-2019 and 22-23. Over 400 videos. We were blessed to have so much talent and such great guys in our Neighborhood... Dan
You guys did a great job with this. And all the vids I've seen so far. And the concept is fantastic. I only wish I had thought of it. Keep up the wonderful work and post this years picnic as soon as you get it.
