I had the unmistakable pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull 7 yrs straight from '76 to '82 and they easily became my favorite band of all time. If you're a fan of Jethro Tull and never got to see them in concert..........watch them however you can. I know it's not the same but hell..........I still do!
I remember recording this as it happened. I was 15 and was just about to leave school. I had only been into tull 9 month and was on the journey of discovering there great albums. Strange thing is , I thought Ian was an old man here. He’s actually 5 years younger than I am now !!!! My favourite band back then and now.
Others might disagree but Ian is a humble guy!! He has created truly unique music leaving blues behind. I don't know Reg Presley, maybe he's an important musician as well, I'll check..However, my point is, they're going on about Stones etc but Ian is a much more creative musician overall..very few musicians could do that.
Ian was a fool for participating in this interview. I say this as a life-long admirer of his music. ITV just like its rival the BBC wants to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator, devoid of controversy, politics, or rational dispute. BBC mannequin Paul Gambucchini is typical of the BBC 's vulgar, banal, and meretricious approach to music. It is always a case of the Bland leading the Blind, and vice versa. Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull swam AGAINST THE STREAM of a music business dominated by US capitalism, which has come to dominate "popular" music purely by the power of money and capitalist monopoly, that is, buying up the competition so there is no competition. The truth is that great music, like any other form of great Art, is wholly incompatible and irreconcilable with capitalism and profit lust. The owners of record companies are only interested in profits, not the creative geniuses like Ian Anderson who generate their profits. In the 21st Century we see how capitalism is strangling all of the Arts owing to the overriding priority of making money/profit for capitalists and shareholders. Music has become debased and vulgarised. Most of so-called popular music is generated on computers and synthesisers rather than on instruments. Boy bands and Girl Bands are produced like cans of beans on conveyor belts presided over by parasites like Simon Cowell. Ian Anderson is a genius who waged war against the debasement of music by US capitalists and their British shadows like Cowell. His music will live forever, whereas Cowell and company will be forgotten long before they are dead.
Great to see this again. I’d just left school when this was originally on. I thought Ian was ancient but he’s actually younger on there than I am now 😯
67-70 those 3 years were the most creative freedom of life and music ever.All genre's snd fashion.a total eruption of change..then diso came and big hair over the top corporate stadium Rock..ssd

Very, very well said. 100% agree
Reg was Main writer and singer for the Troggs

Nice interview
Two greats together
Remy, this is great!
@16:52 Singing in harmony whilst playing the flute! Waaaat??? Amazing Ian!
"You've just been wheeled out like dinosaurs...do you feel dead?"
Wow, how rude. Ian's like 'what a prick'... he has too much class though
very good.

Four years later, Reg’s bank account was swelled by Wet Wet Wet’s cover of Love Is All Around.
I bet Tull never did anything like the Troggs Tapes!
kind weird to see ian not wearing any plaid, brown, or red.
lol
Why would you interview Ian Anderson and go on and on about the Stones?
‘Cause they haven’t any ears,(“tin ears”if you will)or any clue about music.I can’t stand these Tv presenters pretending to be so “hip” and “with it”.
By that time Ian could have played the role of King Edward ,-Patrick McGoohan-, in Brave heart.
