      Your show sounds great, especially with Yes on the same billing. I still have my copy of Close to the Edge from 1972 but sadly have never seen them perform. On the subject of most memorable shows, for me the first performance of The Wall by Pink Floyd at Earls Court in London remains my all time favourite. Keep playing end enjoying music :-)

    Zep & Tull in the same building at the same time both doing albums that would become life changing for them both. "Bad Martin" 😂 Led Zeppelin 2 was released in the U.S. on Halloween of 1969! Zep was working on the fourth album in '71 it was released Dec of that year. Although I believe the story was, most of ZOSO ZEP 4 was recorded at Headly Grange and originally mixed in the states but when Jimmy got home and listened to it something went terribly wrong. He had to remix the whole album.
    Knowing Jimmy Page was present when Martin recorded his famous "Aqualung" solo somehow makes it even more magical knowing that! Also now knowing Jethro Tull Aqualung & Led Zeppelin 4 were both being worked on in the same place at the same time makes them both somehow even more special 👍☮️

    • @Gilbert-m9l
      @Gilbert-m9l 7 месяцев назад

      That's right about the time period and Martin wrongly saying that Zeppelin were in there recording their second album. It was their fourth one instead. Too bad because other youtubers like the excellent Carl Baldassarre have repeated the historical misinfo.

    It seems like Aqualung was the first twist in Jethro Tull where Ian sort of took over the whole concept of the album and drove it into a kind of churchy, folky, rocky genre, original, but yes, maybe risky. Lots of people really liked it, especially here in America. It was so unique and so well done - a real historic milestone of rock, plus the cover was really great too.

    Aqualung was THE Jethro Tull album ... it put them on the map. It was the first album of theirs I have ever heard, and if they had not done that album who knows if I ever would have liked them so much. probably since I also loved Thick As A Brick and Living In The Past ... and then I went backwards. An album a year ... that is a pretty amazing record.

      justgivemethetruth, here's a little help with your math. Aqualung album was recorded from December 1970-February 1971, and released in March 1971. Martin Barre was born November 1946, which means that he did not turn 25 until November 1971, about 10 or 11 months after he had already recorded this solo. Therefore he was 24 when the album was recorded and released.

    Kind of stupid to say that Aqualung is not a concept album ... of course it is. Hard to figure out what the concept is exactly, but it just has a feel that all the songs hang together in a kind of conceptual concept includes folksy, churchy, Englandish, Dickensy kind of consistent vide across the album that did not fit into anything else.
