Any Jethro Tull fans ???

My son and I heard them in Phoenix last year. Ian Anderson still can play a flute on one foot!

I named my son Ian after Ian Anderson. Hes very talented. Im a fan of prog rock. I really like Thick as a Brick. Im into Yes, old Genesis and ELP too! Did you know Rick Wakeman is a Christian? I thot that was very cool!

Great band! I was way into Tull back in college (early/mid-90s), I still dig them and give their records a spin every now and then. Thick as a Brick is easily my favorite album of theirs, closely followed by the Bursting Out live album.

"A Passion Play" was recently remastered by Steven Wilson. The reviews have been positive, so I may have to upgrade and pick this one up once the price is right.

Songs From The Wood (1977) is my favorite album by Jethro Tull. Although I was there primarily to see Emerson, Lake & Palmer, I got to see Jethro Tull live way back in 1996.

What a great show that must have been. I saw ELP in '74 on the BSS tour, and I've seen Tull a couple of times, but that would have been something to see them both on the same day. Very cool.

OH WOW! As a life-long ELP fan, I would give anything to have seen them on the Brain Salad Surgery tour in 1973/74. Did they have the quadraphonic PA system where you saw them?

Yes. They had the quadraphonic PA on that tour. I saw them in a huge hall in Frankfurt, Germany. The quad sound was best used during the climax/ending of "Karn Evil 9", the part where the synth is taking over the world and the mix swirls around and around like a merry-go-round. It was just the second concert I ever attended, so I was pretty awe struck.

Yep, that would have been so cool to see. I wear out my copy of Welcome Back My Friends... and the clips that remain from the California Jam '74 performance. Here is a video clip of Karn Evil 9: Third Impression, complete with the Moog explosion at CalJam.

Thanks so much for the clip. I had not seen that since it aired on US TV in the summer of '74. As great as that was, I think the coolest thing they did at California Jam was hooking Keith up to that grand piano that went spinning in the air while he played. I remember being quite impressed when I saw that. Didn't mean to hijack a thread on Jethro Tull with all this talk about ELP!

No problem. Tull, ELP... great stuff.

I may want to start listening to Jethro Tull. Which albums should I start with?

The band has produced many albums over a forty-year career. What have you listened to so far and what about their sound do you like?

I actually have never listened to any of their albums so far, but I may want to start listening to them, because they seem like they may be an interesting band.

If I had to do so, I would recommend the albums Aqualung (1971) and Songs from the Wood (1977).

These two albums contain everything that is classic Jethro Tull: bluesy elements, progressive elements, and folk elements. Most of their other albums tend to gravitate towards more of one feature than the others. These two that I recommend include all of the elements somewhat equally.
