Just want to say that this is the FIRST song that I ever heard from Jethro Tull. I immediately loved it and it made me a Tull fan for life. I heard it from "M.U. The Best of Jethro Tull" on a green Chrysalis 8 Track my brother had. I have the album on CD, but don't really like the fact that to get to this part you have to fast forward to it. But this has always been my favorite song and thanks for posting it and all the other classics!
Passion Play had poor sales compared to previous Tull albums, but l remember on one interview, lan Anderson said it was his favorite for it's "energy". l would have to agree . l believe he said it on the 3 record radio station "white" album that came out after Heavy Horses . l should dig it up, fire up the old turntable, and give it a listen.....it's been awhile .
One of the greatest all-time prog-rock compositions I've ever heard, 'A Passion Play', and this is indeed my favourite piece from the album, among all the fabulous bits
Too bad there are any better video clips of this concert. I went to see this in Detroit-incredtible. Tull: musical geniuses all-Marty Barre very underrated-he played a part in the JT play. Like the Beatles, almost every song they did was good. Tull will forever be with me.
!973 was a very good year for Progressive rock. This has to be th best Tull album ever. Musically exciting + Lyrically complex= Perfect. The line-up consisted of:

isn't it kind of funny that my favourite Jethro Tull song doesn't contain any flute?
