I still love listening to all of "Thick as a Brick." I'd post a link, but I doubt YouTube has room for a 45-minute song.
"Living in the Past" is one of my all-time favorite Tull tunes, along with "Skating Away on the Thin Ice" ...

When I was a kid, I knew it was time to get up on Sunday when my dad started playing "Aqualung" on his stereo. No, we didn't go to church on Sunday.

Great post R2R . I was fortunate enough to see the War Child tour , and then again recently they came by with the original members . They only did the songs from " This was , Thick as a Brick , Aqualung , but nothing from Benefit " . I also liked Passion Play . Another musical story of life and death . Ian had two violinists , a celloist , and a pcoloist with him as well this last time . Really did some nice jazz peices as well as an orchestrial peice . I guess the London Symphanonic Orchestra rubbed off on him .

The last time I saw Jethro Tull,I went through my usual routine of giving the rent a nazis conducting the shakedown at the door a hard time.It was at a brand new concert hall,Tull was the second act to play there.It was in January,freezing cold as the crowd stood outside shivering and looking through the windows at the empty,warm lobby.
The man who was feeling me up told me to take off my coat and I refused,saying that I would if they moved the search inside and that I had paid good money and should be treated with respect the same as any other patron to any other event.
I asked him if people were searched and treated this way at the first act to play at the venue,Frank Sinatra.He said no,so I suggested that they change their search policy because Sinatra was a known associate of mafia figures and poor Jethro Tull was only a flute player.
Just venting a little here...I am so sick of paying big money for tickets and being treated like a "suspect" by teenage rent a cops!

It's OK to vent. Went to an Ozzy concert once on Halloween with a front row prize for the best costume. So I dressed up. Didn't win but a guy barfed in my seat so I moved in the aisle. An usher came. He wanted me to move back in my seat. I kept pointing to the mess and the guy who was a mess.
Next thing I know two cops grabbed me from behind and without a word tossed me out.No questions and as always I was behaving myself. Shouldn't they have thrown the guy that barfed on my seat and himself?All for a Halloween costume and that night I was straight.

It's shameful that concertgoers are judged by the act they are paying to see by some uptight idiots who probably think the Beach Boys are radicals.Some of the performers are not too happy either,I saw Niel Young stop in the middle of a song and jump off the stage to yell at a cop who was mistreating a patron,then got back to the mike and led the crowd in a mass BOOOO!...the cop let the man go and slid back under his rock.

The first time I was ever searched was in '77 and the search was done by real police.The courts took care of that violation of the 4th and quickly ruled it a random search and that simply attending a concert was not probable cause to believe a crime was being committed.Today,the "freaks" are the ones who believe that I'm going to pay $200 for a ticket and then let some teenage wannabe stick his hand down my pants...I charge $500 for that and it has to be a female.
It's a jungle out there!

look douchebag...we usually keep the childish insults to the political threads and the fact that you say your dad listened to Aqualung tells me you aren't even old enough to know your azz from your elbow when it comes to 70's rock.The first time I saw Ian Anderson playing flute with Jethro Tull it cost 5 bucks and you were probably still on the nipple.

Wonderful! Jethro Tull really were among the most innovative of bands out of the late 1960s. http://www.youtube.com/user/ABedroomFurniture And frontman Ian Anderson with his flute, medieval English garb & stage antics increased the appeal.
A nice trip down memory lane, rdy, "Living in the Past" (very topical!)

One of my first concerts. I was like 11. Anderson was amazing on the flute. That was back in the day of carnival seating and open smoking. Aqualung was the soundtrack of the time. Hard to believe they are still touring, that was a long, long, time ago.
These are the kind of bands I will not go to see these days. Would much rather have my fond memories of their heyday than to see them thirty years past their prime.

and with so many re-makes of some jewels from the past, it will still be in the present.
Driving home one night I put the Guess Who in to American Woman, and my teenage kids said that it did not sound like Lenny Kravitz, I just laughed, then grounded them for thinking like their mom...lol
