“We saw Jethro Tull perform at a university concert about 1971/1972. I didn’t expect much, because his albums were o.k. but a bit too much on the weird side.”
Reminds me of this time I was on a music discussion board and this deranged boomer was trying to sell everyone on the idea that not only was the 70s the golden age of music, but he thought JT was one of the greatest bands ever. A band who’s biggest hit was a song about some homeless dude checking out little girls in a park. I’d say he wasn’t making the most convincing case for his argument.
The other guys on the board tried to convince him otherwise, but there was no convincing him otherwise.
There’s 70s music that still sounds good today but JT isn’t among them. Their playing style, arrangements, and sound are very dated.
I am afraid I agree with the man. Tull was a musician and had a distinctive style.

I’d have to agree. You never even hear them played on classic rock stations
