Barriemore Barlow, Tull's drummer from 1971 to 1980, is one of my favorite drummers of all time. Another is Procol Harum's BJ Wilson. Both highly unique. Clive Bunker, also an excellent drummer, played the earliest Tull albums 1968 to 1971's Aqualung, and was also excellent though more restrained.
This is an unusual live performance as Eddie Jobson was only with them for the 1 album ('A') +tour - so you get the violin parts by him and they were only a 4 piece band now. This tour was after a new line up (drummer - Mark Craney, keyboard/violin - Eddie Jobson, but electric guitar is still Martin Barre).
The "A" symbol was the title of the album which this particular tour was based on. Originally it was supposed to be an Ian Anderson ("A" for Anderson) solo album but that never came to pass. The white jumpsuits were worn by the band members on the cover of that album. A shift in the Tull music was evident on this album but for me it was still unique and excellent.
Never heard this live before. Different, though I think I prefer the studio. But, either way, great reaction. You are quickly becoming my favorite reactor. I appreciate how you really try to analyze and understand the music and the bands...
@SattzFF Well, keep it up! You're right, most reactors don't seem to actually pay any attention to the music, they just want to put out random video after random video to boost their views. So thank you! And well done.. Can't wait till you do Genesis In the Cage medley/ Afterglow Live Birmingham 1984 😃
You will get even more problems to categorize to genre when you reach Gentle giant, most of Zappa's music, well actually much music which sticks out. And so far you have (almost) not reached Tull's golden years 1972-1978. Or the early treasures like "Bouree" and "Dharma for one". This is a late live version from the early 80s (= 10 y later) but according to Martin Barre, on the album, he arranged the guitar solo based on the verse of the song, partly improvised. There is an interview with him on YT. It is when they recorded the solo, one take, that Jimi Page of Led Zeppelin enter the control room, waving to Martin, and he had to turn around, to be able to concentrate - and that iconic solo was accepted for the album. You should check Martin Barre's Jethro Tull doing Aqualung, last July (Great South Bay Music Festival). He just became 78!
@SattzFF Another group associated with the British prog of tge 70s is Renaissance. A good starter is "Ocean Gypsy" from the Scheherazade (you know: one thousand and one night) album 1975. There is a live video from 1977. The front man is a lady! Annie Haslam. Great voice. I think they are still active.
Jethro Tull is the greatest live band of all time. I've seen just about everybody you can think of, and I have never seen anyone better, or actually even as good. they are the greatest of all time.
So many questions! Aqualung is from 1971. Their best lineup of the band IMHO was 1971 to 1978. The keyboards and drummer are new here. Ian Anderson runs a tight ship and he selects band members, and directs all. Ian Anderson is still recording and touring with his current band (some for 20 years), releasing Jethro Tull albums in 2023 and 2024. Another is due out soon. My wife and I saw Jethro Tull summer of 2023 live near Chicago, I have personally seen Jethro Tull live at least 15 times since 1973. Ian lost his voice quality around early 1980's and his singing isn't the greatest live, but his flute cannot be beat! He still sounds good on studio albums since then, however.
OMG... that's Eddie Jobson on keys!. I didn't know he toured with them. You should check out Danger Money or In The Dead Of Night by UK. Jobson played keys with that group. Classic prog. You'd love it. Especially Danger Money. Terry Bozzio on drums.
Thanks for watching! Comment below what the next reaction should be

Greetings from Canada. Yes, Prog Rock- but they started as Blues Rockers and Folk Rockers. Peace, love and bellbottoms

I think the jumpsuits where because of the track 'Uniforms' from the 'A' album - Eddie Jobson being a special guest was allowed to wear red :)
You should react to a Gen Z band who has a classic rock sound - *The Warning.* Start with 'Evolve' from the 2023 MTV VMAs.
Alright, adding to the list!

That's one thing I think most reactors lack so that's why I do it as it's more out of passion

Can't wait till you do Genesis
In the Cage medley/ Afterglow
Live Birmingham 1984
😃
In the cage is coming out today very soon so stay tuned and subscribe if you weren't. Thanks for watching
@@SattzFF long since subscribed. Thank you! Can't wait!
Unfortunately had to cut down some parts due to copyright, apparently "afterglow" and "in that quiet earth" sections are out but the rest will stay

What's a good song to start on Gentle Giant? Never listened to them but interested
@SattzFF "Advent of Panurge", "Free hand", "Peel the paint". There are very few videos, but for "Free hand" is a good one.

Eddie Jobson on keys and violin
@@terrynolan609 And the new drummer is Mark Craney.
This is how it’s done! Create your own sound and look!

Looks like he's playing the guitar left-handed
I think the vid is just reversed. Barre is playing left handed too.
@BH-h6l yeah I noticed that too I was just wondering why they do that
@@williambaldridge1203 I believe it's to avoid copyright strikes.
