It's Friday, have fun and flame away.
Excellent!
I used to love playing that song on the guitar. Lots of fun!
There used to be a FReeper with a screen name of Jethro Tull. Did a quick search and found his last post was made on 07-11-2002.
Thick as a Brick. Covers Harris and Walz.
Tull is one of the greatest bands ever that should have been more famous than Zepplin or Deep Purple. Their lyrics are deep. Their music is both solid but also experimental in appropriate places. Is it all amazing? Nope. But there’s so much there that’s worth listening through their discography, and it’s sad that more people today don’t see them as one of the best and most creative rock bands of all time.
I saw them twice in Tuscaloosa. I believe Ian Anderson said at the beginning of the second time, it was the first performance of Thick as a Brick. Best 2 concerts I ever saw!
First time I ever got intoxicated as a teenager, that was the song of the evening...:)
1972 Cornell - Barton Hall great show...
I’m so glad I was able to see them in 1977. I waited, in anticipation, for each new Tull album, during my younger days. My first exposure to them was 1970. An underground FM station in my hometown played several cuts from their Benefit album.
Only concert I almost ended up in the city lockup up over. No, I won’t relay details, but it did not involve any violence. Nor a motor vehicle.
C. 1976, touring behind the Minstrel in the Gallery album.
Ah, the fun days of a mildly misspent youth!
Used to love Tull, one of my very favorite bands back in the early 70s. Now that I’m older, I really can’t even stand to listen to any of their stuff anymore.
Funny how musical tastes change over the years.
How many know that Sabbath’s Tommy Iommi was briefly with Tull, when they appeared on The Rolling Stones’ “Rock and Roll Circus”?

Excellent! Saw Jethro Tull four times in concert and Ian Anderson and the band always did a great show.
Before dumpster fires, a trainwreck was the best metaphor.
Sleepy Joe stole the handle.
One of my all time favorites!
