Stewart, brilliant as usual! I'm so appreciative of your enthusiasm for JT, but also the education you provide. Always considered "The Waking Edge" as one of Ian's most underrated haunting songs. That 20-second stretch starting at around the 3:22 mark in the video has always stuck with me, for whatever reason. Been awhile since I heard it. Thank you for the reminder!
Cool coincidence: After all these years (decades!), I only recently became reacquainted with this tune after getting Martin Barre's 50 Years of Jethro Tull; And here it is on Daily Sporran! It's grown on me after all these years, and as always, you have breathed new life into it. Bravo and thank you.
Another fabulous and faithful rendition of a beautiful Tull piece. This gave me chills...this song evokes a gutteral emotion ..the fondest of memories..of 1987 for me. And you nailed it as usual! Beautiful. ❤
One of my favourite and underrated '80s Tull songs; probably because I love the "melancholic" side of Ian Anderson's compositions (Budapest above all of course). I have always thought that the long instrumental intro was more a Mountain Men outro.
I had both vinyl and CD and found the whole album to be a different turn. Not a bad one but just caught me by surprise. You did a fabulous job on this cover. Bravo sir.👍
As usual it’s great to get your intelligence insight. I’ve just listened again to the original. I remember being embarrassed for both Ian and Martin at the time - it’s such a blatant Mark Knopfler rip off, I couldn’t take it seriously. For a band that had always ploughed their own distinctive furrow, I found it extraordinary.
Here's an idea for your 200th video: Play the Martin Barre's arrangement of a Tull song, on electric guitar! For example Minstrel in the Gallery or Conundrum!
I think he avoids covers of his songs. He feels like they are very personal to him, and while I know he is encouraging of others to cover them, he prefers not to have to listen to their attempts!
I was worried that I wouldn’t like this song because the songs left off the Under Wraps vinyl release were the two worst Tull songs in their catalog! I’m glad My fear was unfounded.
Larry. We rarely diverge. But I adore Tundra. 3 worst songs? She said She was a Dancer, 4WD and I am willing to add in From a Dead Beat to an Old Greaser.
@@RoyalDavid I love "From a Deadbeat"-- and "She Said She Was a Dancer" too! Tundra and General Crossing are two of my favorites from Under Wraps, in fact.... My picks for worst in the catalog? "When Jesus Came to Play" and "The Curse"-- but I'm sure someone out there loves those too 😅
@@RoyalDavid David the two songs that were not on the original LP, but on the cassette, were Automotive Engineering and General Crossing. Those are the two songs I’m talking about!
Larry I bought the standard US vinyl Underwraps record then later found a sort of English(?) near full size 33 speed vinyl with Tundra on 1 side and Automotive Engineering on the other side. Both such songs were not on the vinyl US Underwraps record. I found Tundra great and Automotive Engineering certainly above satisfactory. To the 1 with the belt do your darnedest!
The song is not only technically perfect in the acoustic version, but also conveys the underlying feeling.
Fanastic rendition as always. Thank you - I didn't realise how much I like the song.
It contains some lovely counter-intutive chord transitions. Just a great, poignant sound.....
Every Tull song a solo guitar masterpiece.
As always, I love hearing your JT compositions. ❤
Lovely playing. Lovely song. He does have a way with words when he wants do does Ian. Thanks again Stewart. Enjoy the playing and the insights.
This was always a nice little tune. Good Job Stewart!

my favourite song from Crest of a Knave, thank you, Sir... time to press that button for a re-run :)
Nice job Stewart! Your fingers are fresh as always.

Beautiful singing!
awesome
We are give you from Israel 12 point. And good luck.
Great job once again Stuart!..Thanks!!

I always feel like I’m in the middle of a village green with someone approaching me with news… when you play.
Great
Wonderful song. Brings back memories. Great job!
Really enjoyable - as always. Thanks for posting.

Absolutely fabulous.
Many thanks for posting.
Love it !!!
Does it have hints of Pibroch?
It’s nice that it’s also equalising the duration of tunes on the cassette version too for sides A & B

Stewart...I always wanted to ask..has Ian ever heard you play/sing? I don't think there are many who can interpret the sensibilities of his music.
I think he avoids covers of his songs. He feels like they are very personal to him, and while I know he is encouraging of others to cover them, he prefers not to have to listen to their attempts!
@@DailySporran well I think he would be impressed if not flattered if he heard you.
To me this always sounded almost like an attempt at American country (from before country went all jingoistic pop with a twang).
