Christmas morning every year I play 'The Jethro Tull 'Christmas Album.' A brilliant selection of songs....makes you happy, laugh, think and will even bring a tear to your eye! This song and 'Another Christmas Song' are just brilliant. A must album to play on a Christmas morn...
Wow. I never would've guessed to find a live performance of this track. Years ago I had dug this vinyl album (I believe 'Living in the Past') out of an abandoned collection of my dad's records. I fell in love with this song on first hearing it...for several years I would dig the record out to play this track at midnight on xmas eve; havent had a 'phonograph' for years, so the tradition is dormant....
This man and his assemblage were life changing 4 decades ago; are awesome here; and he's still magnificently sharing the bounty today. I urge anyone who can to reward him with their attendance when, or if, he comes your way. Such a treat will not be available forever. It's astounding that he still continues to perform. And trust me, you'll be more than pleased with his song choices.
I mean, really, you can see the man himself perform Aqualung still! And it hasn't lost one lick. Scintillating.

I did stuff myself at the Christmas party but this song really puts me in the mood. Why is it not played in all the malls and elevators?
