  • This is just sad man, like....shit! Had this been in the 60's......that would be a different story! It looks like Jethro Tull is one step away from singing on the streets! They were powerful man! Now these blokes sitting there don't care for them or their music!

  • What happened to the vintage Ajax drums Clive used on the original version? They sounded great with awesome sounding snare drum. If he doesn´t used them, I'll buy them.

  • Good Lord! I learned so much from this album! I got to see Glen Cornick and Clive Bunker around '75 or so when they were playing with Bob Welch in Paris. It was on a bill with Be-bop Deluxe and Golden Earring at an old place with a dirt floor in Woodinville, Washington called the Gold Creek Dome. A local FM station (KISW, I think) sponsored shows out there for awhile. Does anyone else remember this?

  • Amazing!

  • Who is this band, rehearsing in a garage?

  • haha 2.25 mick abrahams on one leg lmfao

  • Oh, come on,... Mick is really great, but Martin is too. And I don't think Mick's style would have lent it self to the way Anderson later took the band - he's a blues guy (albeit, a great blues guy!)

  • This is so cool, though yeah, it's missing the spark of the younger days.

  • is this a spoof?

  • mick abrahams ....... legend

  • no Power

  • @Himmelscafe They're just older now, of course there's not enough energy, although Ian is still a great flautist,

  • " This Was " Jethro Tull. Never were as good without Mick Abrahams............Check out his band Blodwyn Pig.

  • Love Clive Bunker! All those ghost notes! While I think all eras of J Tull have their great moments, and depending on how the mood strikes, will listen to a large majority of any of their stuff, THIS is fantastic. It's so low key and subtle. Imagine if they took over as the current version of Tull.

  • Wow, where and when was this!? I never thought I'd ever see the original members back together, I've been waiting almost 40 years! I thought Ian and Mick couldn't stand each other?

  • Anderson's playing is better than ever.

  • @clarkewi it sounds really jazzy light and airey ian said when he taught himself to play the flute he used the wrong fingerings and had to learn over some of those wrong fingerings could be used for ultra high notes i dont know if he wants to be bothered with that he met roland kirk at the newport jazz festival thats who he got the singing into the flute thing .

  • @spacepatrolman The fact that Ian even knew about Rashan Roland Kirk in 1967 shows extraordinarily hip taste. Ian's "Seranade" plays in a different key, at a different tempo with vastly different voicings. I'm sure Rashan loved it - Ian's version still stands up tall. I'm a veteran of several concerts at the LA forum where Zep, Who, Hendrix and a very short list of other virtuoso's played Ian was in the same league as Hendrix. He really delivered the goods - a favorite of a very fickle crowd.

  • @spacepatrolman the last ed sullivan show had roland kirk but its never been shown in reruns before that he performed in a shopping mall where I heard him

  • That whole lifting up of his whole body to reach the higher notes gets annoying.

  • @BARRIEMOREBARLOW

    You've got to be single

  • is this a bar or cafe or something? or is it just studio??

  • @turkishpower08 Cafe Jazz from an Arena powered band of yor.. saw them on their First U.S. tour..Bon Jour..

  • Tremendous -loving it !

  • beutifully recreates the feeling of the least pretentious Tull album...

  • That's it !!! Early jazz-rock really. Remember Jack and Ginger were playing jazz before Eric came in too. Mick was the instrumental figure in this line-up but all sound great ! Thank you

  • Is that Glenn Cornick?

  • @BARRIEMOREBARLOW yes miming with the rest of them!

  • @zog97xy what are you talking about?

  • @thebones have YOU ever seen a flute played in a band that is supposed to be amplified without a microphone or a bug attached to it? well you have now, they are fucking miming to a recording done earlier and the crowd is not even interested in them its all staged.

  • @zog97xy you could be correct but that doesn't mean that I don't think you are completely mad! Buy you a beer sometime.

  • @thebones youre the one thats mad! you know im right!

  • man if id been at this bar and these guys started playing i would have soiled myself and freaked out the entire time. hard to believe this itself is nearly ten yrs old now. this was , was one of the first lp's i ever bought back in the 80s. right on!

  • wooow the original 'this was' band.

    Ian Anderson, Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick, Clive Bunker

    sounds good!

  • Flute sounds better than ever.

  • They really toned it down for this one.

  • the gent at the front table @ 0:27 to 0:33 very familiar dear geezer. who knows whom it tis???

  • I'am getting carpel tunnel watching this over and over,it's that good.

  • nice version, normally i dont like too much watch groups or artist in old days comparing what they did before, but this jazz or rithm & blues of whatever this is is very good, cheers!

  • ians voice... its such a shame, it really is.

  • I think your your coment is a shame. There is nothing wrong with his voice!

  • Wow, I never would have believed I'd see the 4 original Tullsters playing together again all these years later. They sound great, especially Mick.

  • he looks like he's ready to retire with that shirt and hat...He'd fit right in with the Florida folk lol (I love Ian Andering im just playing)

  • It's amazing. They're better than anyone out there today. Sad commentary on the shambles the music scene is in. The new bands should be ashamed of themselvs. They could no cut this type of music than pick their nose.

  • hey it's Ian Henderson's Bag 'o Blues!

  • Great! Actually a bit better than the current version. Martin and co do their best of course, but the original band were made to play this song. Just rediscovered Mick Abrahams on Youtube. An excellent blues guitarist and singer. Glenn seems to be having a great time with this.

  • no no, check out a recent version, martin rips it in two and the ending is in yo' face!

  • Thank you!So cool!One of my favorite bandds,no matter who's been in it!

  • That's wonderful!!! I hope i will have the chance to play with them only one time here in quebec or everywhere else before they dye!!!!

  • Grande Mick, sono veramente orgoglioso di essere tuo amico. Giancarlo.

  • Wont someone tell me where I laid my head last night? You have got to love the Tull. Great posting Malapersona.
