Jethro Tull (1970) Frech Tv: Teacher & The Witches Promises

[jim196869]

@ramayogi The first thing you got wrong is Morrisons words were not pop as Ians are. To understand Morrison you would have to of visited the edge a few times. I have an idea you have not. Morrison was light years ahead of Ian Anderson, and I like Jethro Tull.

[celticfan60]

@jim196869 Morrison was a talentless clown who had not one ounce of the talent Iain Anderson has in abundance.

[jim196869]

@celticfan60 There are people like you that just aren't experienced. If you never peeked over the edge, you cant know.

[celticfan60]

@jim196869 I don't need to 'peek over the edge' (whatever the hell that's meant to mean) to realize lack of talent. Simply put the Doors have got to be one of the MOST over-rated bands in history. If the 'genius' that was Morrison (LOL) had not killed himself no-one would ever have given a crap about his 'band'.

[jim196869]

@celticfan60 The girls used to call your kind (Pop Boys) closed minded kids who listened to AM. Again, not experienced plus I dont think your from our time.

[celticfan60]

@jim196869 I wouldn't know a pop boy if you hit me with one. Plus your mind has clearly been addled by 'peeking over the edge' and I doubt ANYONE is from 'your time'. If it's any of your business I was born in 1960 and as for 'experienced' I seriously doubt I'd want whatever 'experiences' you're referring to.

Ian always managed to get terrific musicians to play in his band. Look at Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond and Martin Barre for starters - all great! and plenty of others too.

[duncanstpt]

Martin plays a mean guitar for a fat boy.

[xxFairladyZxx]

Can't fucking believe they aren't in the R&R hof .......this ones on my playlist

[dougalmac54]

This not a live track. Note no mics anywhere on the drums. They probably recorded this track without flute and then lip-synced to it.

[HackerGuitarist]

@dougalmac54 the original single does not have flute ,, they added it on the album,,, Anderson hated this song for some reason.

[dougalmac54]

@HackerGuitarist Interesting! I didn't know that. I always thought it was one of Anderson's better vocals. And I love the groove Cornick and Bunker lay down on this tune. Thanks for the info.

[KaiBailey]

Somebody overdub some flute into this motherfuckin video, please!

[piffle4now]

this reminds me of a long lost friend that could have been a god amongst humans if given a fair chance.

sorry for the sad message but for those that know him the message will be inclined

at least it had been a lot of fun

[NorseWiz]

I like this version of Teacher better then the one on the record.. anyone know if this one's available on any other JT collection releases?

[lladnar69]

This is the french single that I have 45 of. It was the first release before Benefit came out. Tull is great.

[chuckdd4201]

Yes, you can get this video on the A c.d with bonuus slipstream dvd.

[drobbi]

that's not the studio track

[vondoobie420]

i belive this is the studio track over the live vieo

[captainsoul1953]

Sounds like that to me....definitely not live

Jim

[aquaman1227]

lack of flute in this, i dont think its the studio track

[ampheat]

Teacher & Witches promise are two of my favorite tull songs. Nice to see a live version after countless listeneings of the studio recordings. The camerman looks like he was on acid or something although the band themselves were rumored never to do drugs when preforming.

[chillichomper]

This song always kicked ass for me. Tull has never been imitated or duplicated. A true original

[peredrum]

I remember "Tull" as one of the best live acts I ever saw.

This was musicianship on a level that we rarely see today. The times were full of some of the best bands in history. From Tull to Yes,Black Sabath,Frank Zappa,Emerson Lake & Palmer,just to name a few.

They were amazing to see and great artist of the day.

[bafti13]

Intellectual, though not academic. Real Music = Real Energy. Such energy captures forever, ever since the first time I heard these songs, a week ago now

[Prosciutto14]

The US version with flute is much better, but this is still a classic.

[valentijncarbo]

HEEEE MAN! nog geneukt?

[Elmsliegirl]

LOVE THIS.

[pykowrnozes]

Are there any videos of them actually play this? There's like, three videos of them miming it.

[underwwraps2]

I have a concert audio, were they do teacher, 75, and a whole buch of other 74-75s that have bungle in the jungle and warchild and stuff, and a 97 DVD and audio ffroim the same venue, that has a bungle in the jungle, minstrel in the gallery, and teacher medley. Its pretty awsome!

[PaulHartXYZ]

Yes, this Witch's Promise has NEVER been available before.

We've all seen the Teacher part.

And since there's a time code... this is from some archive that's not available to the public. NICE FIND.

[Tommygun1028]

I have this these 2 promos - Teacher & Witches Promise in mint condition, no timecode!

[PaulHartXYZ]

Hi Tommygun.

I managed to post that Aqualung clip from 1976from that archive compilation video (that only we know about).

Shhhhhh.

Do a search on YouTube with the words AQUALUNG 1976... and you'll see it.

[saigon9692]

Thanks for the posting!! I have never seen this 'The Witch's promise', I think rare..

[underwwraps2]

Too bad the quality is bad, on the 25th anniversary there is a SUPERB, quality one on it. But you have to wach the whoole dvd to see it, as a bonus track.

[callergrim]

Yeah I know, i got the dvd too but there's only Teacher on it not the Witches Promises

[underwwraps2]

Oh really, I have the with both of them with Superb quality and no Time code and EDC logo on the top.

[electricgremlin69]

I have the 25th Anniversary Collection dvd, but can anyone tell me WHERE on the disc the French tv version of "The Witch's Promise" is hidden? I can't find it anywhere!

[underwwraps2]

It should appear if you watch the whole film. It did for me. Just look it up on google or something it should tell you how.

[electricgremlin69]

I'll have to look it up on Google then. I've watched through the whole dvd, past the end of the credits for both the main section and the bonus tracks section and it just doesn't seem to be there on my copy. Thanks for the tip though. I'll have another look anyway. Perhaps I'm just being Thick -- As A .....

[electricgremlin69]

Never mind -- I found it! Thanks again, Underwraps2! ... and Cheerio!

[underwwraps2]

This is that really STUPID, vesoin of Teacher! too bad.

[underwwraps2]

shurly, but I had found one with the flute, IT IS SO AWSOME!!!

[gorgonslave]

umm...Judging by your screenname I would assume you are indeed a big Tull fan. Please Explain one instance where this song is STUPID or where they are doing anything beyond perfection?? Thanks

ps. Underwraps is a horrid mockery of what this the Tull in this video stood for.

[underwwraps2]

NO NO NO!!! I love the song teacher, but this is the uk single, before the record company said, "Ian if you want more money, play the flute the us one." So then they re-recorded the soing for a certain US opinion. And they turned out doing a lip sync for it, so they have a No flute, wich I personaly, I don't know what any of you might say, I like the flute one much better, so I finaly found a video for it. NOW I HAVE ONE WITH AND WITHOUT FLUTE!!! Get it now?!
