I've been a Tull fan for a long, long time
ReplyDeleteJD
Likewise. First albums of any artist I owned were Stand Up and Benefit.
DeleteThanks, Kenny!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite bands since I was 11 or 12.
I've seen Tull so many times I can't count them. Some of the best shows were at the Frankfurt Festhall back in 80,81. At one show we were in the second row. I had three cameras, each with different film loads and lenses. Andersen came out from behind the speakers; perfect shot! But I wasn't wound, so no shoot. Ian saw me drop/through my camera, (on the strap) and motioned to me to shoot again. He re-enacted the re-entranced for me and then gestured thumbs up/down. I thumbs-up, he waved and went on with the show. Class act all the way.
Huh, I saw Tull in Frankfurt in the same time period. We may have been at the same show.
DeleteYep, had a shitload of bright green 8-track tapes and most of their LP's.
ReplyDeleteFor me it was aqualung and minstrel. Saw him in the 90's at greatwoods in Mass. Outdoors. Great show.
ReplyDeleteFavorite albums were Benefit and Aqualung....loved the syncopation of drums on Nothing is Easy....Martin Barre tremendously under-rated guitarist....
ReplyDeleteAgree.

Interesting trajectory of this band. I liked the lineup on the first albums (through Aqualung.) Subsequent releases displayed increasing dimensions of theme and musical complexity. Anderson's arrangements are always interesting and frequently exquisite. Live shows are uniformly excellent.
Check the YT sidebar for more great content.

Wow, I was listening to David Gilmour's Live at Pompeii while reading this. Now I'm on a Tull tangent.
ReplyDeleteJethro Tull was one of my all time favorites! I only realized relatively recently that so many of Ian's songs were about trashing religion. I'm not religious in any way, but it was kind of strange realizing Aqualung, My God, and many other favorites were anti so anti religious. I guess I never really thought about the lyrics in their totality.
I guess I'm saying that I hate messages of any sort in music. The shit shouldn't be political or religious. Just have some freakin' fun.
You may have misinterpreted those lyrics. I think they relate to the distortions imposed by dogmatic organized religion. To support this I will refer to "Hymn 43" and "Wind Up" on Aqualung, and "Two Fingers" on War Child.
DeleteAlso appropriate might be "Passion Play" in its entirety.
(Possibly I am mistaken.)
But if music with a message were to disappear we would be left with pretty weak sauce.
TW, it would be a mess, kind of like the Dead's China Cat Sunflower, huh?
DeleteConsider the loss to humanity if all "Art" (including music, literature, architecture and pictorial art) containing a "message" were suddenly obliverated.
DeleteNo novels, history, philosophy, poetry, opera, temples, cathedrals, sphinxes, pyramids.
No Monty Python. No more Cheech & Chong.
No George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Tolstoy, George Carlin.
No Code of Hammurabi.
No Talmud.
No Martin Luther.

And this one?

Gone for sure.
Thanks for that. As anE-4 mafia member at Ft Lewis. Got to see them in seattle in 74-75. The beginning to Aqua lung is still burned into my brain. Got turned onto benefit in HS by a hippy chick who is now 47 years mine.
ReplyDeleteThe night before Song from the Woods was released in the stores, we saw Jethro Tull in Lexington, KY. We were expecting Bungle in the Jungle (which was in the top 40 at the time) and such, but Ian came out and said, "Tomorrow our new album Song from the Woods is released. Would you all care for a preview?" The crowd responded YES!!! and they proceeded to play the entire album in longplay versions. Awesome concert!! Needless to say, we bought the album as well.
