I got to see this show. Loved the Tullivision. John Glascock was an amazing addition. I've seen Jethro Tull 25 times. All over Florida 70s, 80s, 90, 2000s, first was Jai Alai in Miami (Minstrel In The Gallery before release) and last time was in Boca Raton at Mizner.
+KittycatDot4Eva I wanted to say something like that, but couldn't find the words... There you have it! This isn't a bunch of guys making music. This is music played by natural born musicians! True craftsmanship from the heart. I love them!
@Miguel Barahona I believe that Ian Anderson is second only to Frank Zappa in his ability to select the best musicians to back him. Or, more properly, to be the best iteration of Jethro Tull at that time.
I really like his sharpest sound that he developped around the time of Minstrel and even more how he sounded on Crest Of A Knave. He is not just a rock player, he plays quite well on acoustic/classical guitar and that's what makes him interesting too... I'm not fond of his most recent solo stuff yet, alas.
Barriemore Barlow is the most underated drummer ever. Technique, feel, creativity. He had it all. Musicians in those days played from their heart not worrying about whether their record would sell. Thats when the real music happens. Thak God I grew up in the 70,s. There will never be anything like it again.
Those that have studied music will realise how complex this piece is ..Just trying to count time is a task what with all the irregular measures thrown in.. And from a drummers point of view ,Barrie Barlowe should be considered one of the finest rock drummers to grace the planet on this performance alone !
DickusCopernicus They can't !!. MUSIC was the goal/process....not fame/money. Ian Anderson is simply a creative genius. Initially like it or not..........it begs several additional listens. Today's music ? I DON"T THINK SO !!
No idea how a band that put out albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and Minstrel in the Gallery aren't as big as Queen, Rolling Stones or Led Zep. The mind boggles
@@johnroberts3723 Although they did have commercial success in the first half of the 1970s, culminating with Passion Play reaching the top album spot on Billboard. BUT it was a different world, no doubt.
Karl Taylor He was great also but I guess my main point was he John died. Martin and Barrie thought John was their best progressive bassist, on a video on YT Martin explains how on "Minstrel" how Jefferey had a hard time playing the music !!! And Barriemore Barlow left Tull after Glascock's Heart failure death, he was to saddened by his good friends death and just didn't want to play in Tull without him. Also latter he was Barrie was diagnosed with severe Depression from John's death. I like Both players very much and from Aqualung to Stormwatch there was so much fantastic music ! : D
Prog X You are right they both were great and they played during their Proggiest period I think. I always liked how Ian teased Mr.Glascock live on stage it was good Tull fun ! It is sad he died so young. But we all have their great music. : )
Also from what I see was quite a heart throb. Was pretty damn exotic and Bohemian. If you've heard 'High Time' by Carmen you'll discover he had the most awesome voice. Some comments on other videos have said 'white Naveen Andrews.'!!!!!!! Too young to have died, but London lifestyle partly nailed it. Defo best albums with JG in!!!
True, I loved Jethro Tull music from the moment I first heard it ... but Ian is kind of a weirdo. I think the best thing is to appreciate the art without dwelling on the artist ... most of them are nuts, just like everyone else.
BFTB - I would love to see Ian interviewed when he was drunk. I seriously doubt he does much drinking ... I think he limits his altered states to those induced by very spicy food.
I agree with your description. Still, I would like to see him on a beer bender and hear what he has to say. Like, why the two obvious references to snorting cocaine from him and John Evan in the film for "The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles." What was THAT all about??
One of the few bands that sound as good or better live as on their albums - singing, instruments, everything. Woefully underappreciated album and band!
Led Zeppelin sounded like crap live, especially Robert Plant. They were just studio magic, but sloppy on stage, at least Plant and Page were. Overrated.
Just saw Tull 2 days ago in Detroit. I saw them in the early to mid 70's about 5 times. Although Ian's voice was damaged due to illness many years ago they managed to put on a great show. They will always have a special place in my memory. Prog Rock was so great until fucking disco came along and pretty much dumbed music down to where I don't believe we will ever see another era quite like it. Thank God for RUclips where these great memories still live.
Just want to say Alexander, you're so right on, great musician's, but very rarely heard anymore, don't know what else to say, just happened to be looking at some my old albums and the music from my albums are better now!!! Not just Jethro Tull but but all the others, the past, and hopefully it will come back, and I'm sure it will, but don't know if even these younger kids are playing these song's, they can't compare, to the original sounds and quality of the musician's that perform them!
Simply incomparable. Ian Anderson is one of a kind. There is no-one like him. The Mozart of our times. Musical genius. Like all supreme artists, he will probably only get the credit he deserves when he is dead. The legions of Tull fans are in the vanguard of a musical revelation currently withheld from the masses, force-fed on the garbage of computer-driven "pop" music and masters of mediocrity like simple Simon Cowell. Ian Anderson is the embodiment of the principle that Art and Capitalism are mortal enemies.
Everything is right here! Tull at their best. Ian's voice rich full and magnificent, Martin killing on guitar, John Evan brilliant keyboards, the late great John Glasscock rocking on the bass, Barrie on drums. My favourite band! Saw them about a year later at the much missed Glasgow Apollo. If you want to hear old Tull stuff done properly check out Martin's band! Music doesn't get much better than this!
God bless Ian. He was the fucking first front man to show his full contest to media. Nowadays no-one can. The media rules everything. Listen to words. Listen to Thick is a brick and a Passion Play. God bless Barriemore.
I attended this concert, took my little sister because she wanted to see Robin Trower (he was the 2nd bill and played just as the sun set for a great show in itself). This show was awesome for just the music and showmanship, but the unique thing (at the time) was three color TV cameras just off the stage that showed the concert live in real time on a giant screen behind the stage. It was billed as TULLavision, and it was pretty cool, although we were close enough to the stage to watch the musicians without the aid of the screen. The recording we see here is evidently taken by one or more of those cameras. Who knew!?!? Tullavision preserved this performance of Jethro Tull at the peak of their career. I remember that day vividly each time I see this, and the show opener Thick as a Brick is my favorite memory.
@@ianwilkinson4602 Loved the show and his music both then and now. That was the second time (of four shows) that I saw his band live and think he isn't appreciated enough as an artist.
@@smvaeiou I have only seen them once relatively recently after Ian's voice started to fail, it brought me to tears listening to him struggle to be the singer we all know and love. I am 76 now and have always been a fan, how could you not be?, they are that good. I am not a fan of live music because I can hear every note of the studio recordings in my head, so any bum notes or poor vocals ruins the show for me. There has been one exception to this "rule",I went to see Hawkwind in the early 80's and that blew me away. Do you know Ian's solo stuff? a lot of it is excellent and still has the Tull vibe at times.There is a good Christmas album too, with songs like " Jack Frost and the hooded crow"
@@ianwilkinson4602 Trower was magnificent, playing from late afternoon through sundown and well into dusk. Played Bridge of Sighs just as the sun disappeared over the rim of the stadium at sundown.
@@smvaeiou I sat around the 40 yard line. Tullavision was such a relief. I wasn't into Trower post-Procol and remember Trower saying "we're going to slow things down a bit". Not much of a tempo change. I saw the War Child tour indoors and am glad I did because it's one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Aw, thanks for sharing. You can see how excited he is to be playing in his favorite band. Great bass player. And stage energy, too. Would love to've seen this lineup.
Martin Barre never has received the recognition he deserved. One of the greatest guitarists...ever. Nice to see him and 'old brittledick' ripping it up together. I saw this tour in San Diego as a teen. Ian was flawless....his voice was still strong.
I’ve seen The Who, Deep Purple, Yes, Traffic, Uriah Heep, Rush, AC/DC, Santana, Moody Blues, Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Black Crowe’s, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Radiohead, and more. Only The Who came close to Tull as a live act. Intense, theatrical, virtuoso musicianship!
@@andrewcbartlett Yeah, it was a pretty funny movie but I ain’t sure that they’re a real band and especially not one that compares favorably with the Prog rock pantheon!
@@andrewcbartlett - Saw Spinal Tap in Philly. Philly's a great rock n roll town. From Thick as a Brick saw Derrick Smalls, Derek Small, & Derek St Holmes from Nugent & Derek St Hubbins. Jeff Beck & A puppet show, opened for Tap, with The Mark Shubb Project. Really good shows
I have 61 years old and this is one of the greatest bands i´ve ever eard. IAN ANDERSON is the GREATEST story teller and is impossible to forget such an ENORMOUS ARTIST. Each time i ear JETHRO TULL it´s as i was listening my national anthem, it´s like something from the soul mixed with joy of life. I ADORE THIS SOUND.
Exactly! Back in the 70s, when I first read The Lord Of the Rings. I would play Tull and Kansas in the background. Now when I listen to them, I visualize scenes from the books.
What? No, really. I love jethro tull, but howard shore was the right man for the job. His lotr "Soundtrack" is iconic. (Unless you were referring to the lotr Cartoon, wich brought us those unforgettable classics like "where there's a whip, there's a way... :D )
Listen to 2:39 to 2:42. That cool little 8 note bit, camera close up on the bass, and then just after 2:41 you hear this really fast drum roll that anticipates the starting note of the next section and lands on it perfectly. I love listening for little touches like this in Tull. Barriemore was ideal for this.
No worries this act was never Underated, they blew everybody away and they reigned for years, no other act could play this material as articulate or cleaner of a hotbed of eclectic, eccentric music drawn from the classical era and mid evil times fused with edgy electric guitar, acoustic guitar, flute, bass, keyboard, percussion and drums, just brilliant and nobody sounded like them at all. Ian comes across as extremely intelligence just a master who followed his calling and the rest is history, I feel so blessed to watch these videos of all our great musical talents and man did we ever have talent in the 60's & 70's.
Jimmy Frederico Yeah, we get it alright. I love to hear comments like yours as well. They just don't make music like this anymore. Probably never will.
What a great band this line-up was. They were at the height of their powers. Tull released one good album after another throughout the 70's. Astoundingly good as a live band and great players too. Not to mention, they had fun onstage. That Pythonesque English humor. Led by the incomparable Ian Anderson. John Glascock, Martin Barre, Barriemore Barlowe, John Evan and David Palmer. Man, they were good.
..a magnificent but eclectic collection of musicians playing a magnificent but eclectic collection of music. It is surprising how these complex and intricate works translate from the studio so faithfully to their live performances. Not even the Beatles were that faithful to their studio versions.
Jan Anderson was the reason I started playing music. Huge inspiration since the early 70's. I will be listening to their music all day long and even out in the streets carrying with me my cassette player! My favorite band.
Me too..Barlow is my inspiration for buying a drum kit. Wish I could afford that expensive as hell Ludwig Vistalite kit !! Great thuddy sound played by an incredibley talented man.
The Minstrel Album was my intro to Tull, what an album, something for everyone, drums that never stop, awesome guitar, sumptuous bass, the wonderful organ/piano and of course the rather bloody marvellous Mr Anderson- the whole thing shudders under the weight of the intelligence, artistry and sheer talent of this line up... I’m so glad that I came upon this album.

Those of us who were blessed enough to see Tull live in their prime have lived through an era of music that will never ever happen again.
John u said it…..
Richtig,eineMusik die es vorher nicht gab,wie viele andere Bands,Genesis,Yes,Rick Wakeman,Gentle Giant,etc.
I am one of the blessed, several times over! I saw Tull at MSG and several other places as well beginning in the 1970’s.

The most undervalued drummer, lead guitarist, bassist, and keyboard player in the history of rock, in my most humble opinion.
KittycatDot4Eva Agreed.

KittycatDot4Eva In mine too.
+KittycatDot4Eva I wanted to say something like that, but couldn't find the words... There you have it! This isn't a bunch of guys making music. This is music played by natural born musicians! True craftsmanship from the heart. I love them!
Martin Barre: most underrated guitar player in rock history. So completely tone-righteous and adept.
In my TOP 5!!!
Tone righteous!
We know
He’s amazing
Amen!!!
The amount of talent over that stage is simply unbelievable.
@Miguel Barahona I believe that Ian Anderson is second only to Frank Zappa in his ability to select the best musicians to back him. Or, more properly, to be the best iteration of Jethro Tull at that time.
Truly a genius. Lots of Acid.
@@almostcensoredconservative3512 Nope, supposedly drug-free. Like Crimson's Robert Fripp.
@Jeffrey Nolan Ian threw Glenn Cornick out for pursuing the latter, unfortunately.
@Jeffrey NolanWatch the interview with him and Timothy Leary than call me a fool.
If you ever listen to jethro tull you have been listening to the best music ever
Underrated, unappreciated, unparalleled, unsurpassed. Unbelievable.
unappreciated??? NOT AT ALL
John Glascock made all other Jethro Tull bass players look bad take it from a bass player who knows
bcsorensenman understated!
@@williamwathey3711 Dave Pegg is a high caliber bassist. But I get your point.
@@joelestes2257 Jeffery Hammond-Hammond was a great bassist. ..so was Glenn Cornick...
Ian Anderson is a force of nature. Amazing singer, amazing songwriter, eccentric, intelligent, a great musician. Living legend!
Brilliant musicians, one of the greatest bands of all time!

THEY WERE ALL MAGNIFICENT
SO GLAD I SAW THEM 5 TIMES
IAN IS A MAGICIAN 🎩 Z
I agree..The great John Bonham said Barriemore Barlow was the best drummer in England
Those that have studied music will realise how complex this piece is ..Just trying to count time is a task what with all the irregular measures thrown in.. And from a drummers point of view ,Barrie Barlowe should be considered one of the finest rock drummers to grace the planet on this performance alone !
Oh he is considered to be one of the greats...just as John Bonham
Couldn't agree more 👍
For those "in the know", he is!!!
@@SKarthikeyan75 Bonham said he was one his favourite drummers. Accolade indeed.
I agree entirely. But it's NOT Rock n'Roll
How can modern manufactured bands hope to compare with such artistic genius?

Should have been titled " Menstrual in the Gallery " !
No can do.... ! ..... Tull are top
The whole band were geniuses a mix of medieval folk and rock.. seriously??? No one can come close to them
No idea how a band that put out albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and Minstrel in the Gallery aren't as big as Queen, Rolling Stones or Led Zep. The mind boggles
I'm afraid it's the same with all genres of music. Bands like tull are unique and too sophisticated to have wide spread commercial success.
And got an award for best in Heavy Metal and beat Metallica to it....even to their own surprise...
@@johnroberts3723 Although they did have commercial success in the first half of the 1970s, culminating with Passion Play reaching the top album spot on Billboard. BUT it was a different world, no doubt.

Original 20 century minstrel par excellence. sir Ian Anderson . Outstanding .
Tull's best line-up. R-I-P John Glascock.
Yep, Larry, no doubt in my mind this was the best line up. Just realised I’m replying to a comment made 9yrs ago lol. John was fantastic.
And here I am, 2 months later , to agree, though I was a Glen Cornick Fan first and foremost. wish he could have lingered a bit...
Agree, JT Mark VI line up I think.
that's your opinion! give me clive bunker and glen cornick anytime
By far...these guys are all great individually so they are unreal when put together. Luv them.
I seen Tull eight times live and was Never disappointed, on the contrary, they exceeded expectations!
Barriemore Barlow: "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced"

....and if you like salmon.....i save salmon farm in Écosse....
Ian switched to something different because he knew he couldn't compete with the other guitar gods at that time. Good timing for all of us.
This is the band firing on all cylinders and completely on top of their game. Enjoyed it.
Was at this concert ; and yes they were right on time with each other the whole show !!
I saw them this same year on July 26 with Robin Trower and Rory Gallagher, in steady rain. Hands down, one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Saw the same lineup in San Diego.

Drove to Hartford CT on a Harley in the middle of a snowstorm just to see them. Worth freezing our asses off. Ian, you rock!
No worries this act was never Underated, they blew everybody away and they reigned for years, no other act could play this material as articulate or cleaner of a hotbed of eclectic, eccentric music drawn from the classical era and mid evil times fused with edgy electric guitar, acoustic guitar, flute, bass, keyboard, percussion and drums, just brilliant and nobody sounded like them at all. Ian comes across as extremely intelligence just a master who followed his calling and the rest is history, I feel so blessed to watch these videos of all our great musical talents and man did we ever have talent in the 60's & 70's.
The genius of these guys is beyond words....
Ahhh yes the great Barrie Barlow...whatta player!!💯
I am 58 been listening to this since i was 16 never gets old.
72 here & Have been a fan since Benefit.
How could you miss martin barre's guitar playing. It is instantly recognizable. A hallmark of Tull.
I love to read these comments from the good people who get it.
Jimmy Frederico Yeah, we get it alright. I love to hear comments like yours as well. They just don't make music like this anymore. Probably never will.
Same here my friend. Take care all of you, great people
Bands like this just don’t exists anymore, period. Blessings
The greatest live band/show in the history of rock. Brilliant intense genius x 10!!
Say it again!
One of the best live acts I have ever seen and I have seen many a band
That voice is amazing. No autotune either
Rocking out hard to this alone at 11:30 p.m. in Texas at age 53! A fine night indeed!
Rocking it in Mass alone on a bench in front of work at age 61. The best moment ever.
beatifull i love jethro tull
When I was a child my dad played this song on tape in his Ford sierra this band was amazing!
And John Evan on keyboard......like some demented ice cream man!! Quite a character indeed!!
One of the most talented minstrels of music we have ever been blessed with.✌️
One of a handful of bands where their live performances actually sound like they do on record. What a great band Tull was.
Saw them in Prov.and came out tired and like i shoveled all day[well the mesc had a hand in it] BUT physically draining from feeling it man..
And they make it look easy. OMG ! Talent in a display of complicated perfection.
John Glascock eternal energy bass-phantom wow!!!
what a gem... i first heard this song 30 years ago and it still is exciting. Tull is just amazing
The best Tull line up
I was there that night in Tamp, FL. It was the best concert I've ever been to!
Deborah Ford lucky woman 😙
Deborah Ford I saw them in St.Petersburg,Bayfront Center in the early 70’s,one of my all time favorite bands to see on stage!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I saw them on the same tour in Jacksonville while I was a UF student.
Was there also . Great show !!
Amazing show; they were at the height of their powers! Ian is phenomenal!
Barre and Glascock are absolutely fantastic
my all time favorite band
Favorite FOREVER!!!!I listen to Tull Everyday🥰🥰❤️😍🥰
Yes!
What a great band this line-up was. They were at the height of their powers. Tull released one good album after another throughout the 70's. Astoundingly good as a live band and great players too. Not to mention, they had fun onstage. That Pythonesque English humor. Led by the incomparable Ian Anderson. John Glascock, Martin Barre, Barriemore Barlowe, John Evan and David Palmer. Man, they were good.
who doesn't love this live version?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
One of my top 3 Barre electric guitar performances is the title track of the "Minstrel" album. Excellent work.
Baker Street Muse from the same album is another amazing Martin Barre performance.
Agree - this song and "With You There To Help Me" from the Benefit album are his best work.
Minstrel may be Barre's top album. Minstrel and Black Satin Dancer are two of his best guitar performances IMO.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson never disappoint and one of the most original and entertaining musical groups ever. God bless all from Patrick
..a magnificent but eclectic collection of musicians playing a magnificent but eclectic collection of music. It is surprising how these complex and intricate works translate from the studio so faithfully to their live performances.
Not even the Beatles were that faithful to their studio versions.
This.......this is just epic....
Just found this today! Wow! I have loved Tull for 40+ years, and it still thrills me! I miss concerts like this.Thanks
what an incredible and unique j.t. was. so interesting and getting more and more interesting as time goes on
This song was my introduction to Tull,i was 14 I got to see them 5 times a fantastic rock band fronted by a folk musician backed by amazing musos
folk musician? There are a lot of facets to Ian, to this day I'm not sure that he fits into any one pigeon hole. One labelled "Ian Anderson" probably.
Jethro Tull is so unique and talented, and their music so complex, it’s why you never see a cover band or anyone else play Jethro Tull songs …..
prime tull. top level song from tull. fools give this thumbs down. they must have serious hearing and even visual shortcomings. Ian at his very best.
Jan Anderson was the reason I started playing music. Huge inspiration since the early 70's. I will be listening to their music all day long and even out in the streets carrying with me my cassette player! My favorite band.
Me too..Barlow is my inspiration for buying a drum kit.
Wish I could afford that expensive as hell Ludwig Vistalite kit !!
Great thuddy sound played by an incredibley talented man.
My favorite band since my teens. Ian thank you for inspiring me to take on the flute and then the soprano saxophone. 🎷🙏😊
The Minstrel Album was my intro to Tull, what an album, something for everyone, drums that never stop, awesome guitar, sumptuous bass, the wonderful organ/piano and of course the rather bloody marvellous Mr Anderson- the whole thing shudders under the weight of the intelligence, artistry and sheer talent of this line up... I’m so glad that I came upon this album.
this music gives me shivers!
This is amazing to this day of September 2021! Tull is rated highest quality in my book. Glad to be here.
absolutely perfect music trip
They worked hard at there trade, outcome = professional masters of there music
Been a Tull fan all my life and never knew this footage was out there. MANY THANKS for posting it!
Oh yes it's out there, love Ian and have seen him a few times always an artist in his music
Yes!!!!
Lucky to have seen them live many years ago......PHENOMENAL
Terrific performance. One of my favorites.
