Jethro Tull - We Used To Know/For A Thousand Mothers (Isle of Wight)

[meowandmeow]

omfg 4:13 - 4:25 is just pure sex, with that bass line.

[Paragonx135]

The part from 1:30 to 2:18 is just so fing amazing... the flute solo, guitar solo... the drummer bashing the drums. The essence of rock.

[meowandmeow]

wait, this video is edited from like the 5:20 mark onwards. Those snippets are repeats from this and the My God recording :P

[stromhylla]

It was they who were wrong,

and for them here's a song.

[falababababababababa]

super banda

[aquecedoroleo]

2 people didn't use to know

[tariksba]

someone said : Clive Bunker president....

[retrograder22]

gawd tull just slays thru da who`s hiwatt amps

[grebbx]

Clive Bunker...nuff said

[bruffie]

You know what? Ian Anderson doesn't mind the Hotel California thing and neither does Martin Barre......so who cares!! At the most, you could say The Eagles thought "that's a nice chord progression, we'll write a song around that"

[Cepman77]

But in that video is removed best part - in audio record its on 2:54.

[noodledwarf]

this is great love the early tull and they're great live!!

[PILPEZ]

Martin barre is oneof my favorite guitarists of all time. Both Joe satriani andSeve Vai

consider him one o f thier main influences

[rolynstone48]

The whole idea of the chords being ripped off by the Eagles is silly (Martin implied it in an interview) and when you listen to Hotel California, it is obviously a great and original piece that stands on its own merits , as even Barre himself said, that it is one of the greatest songs written .

Even if the chords are "borrowed", imitation still carries with it a certain homage paid to the genesis of it all , where Tull , and God , receive the glory !

[lambgobbla]

Fricking speech less...

[golfriver]

yeah,..... yeah...... i liked both grooves. but all you great musical ears should work on a hit of your own and see how tough it is! rock and roll is a visious game. oops i plagerised someone. peace love and rock and roll. damb i did it again. please no resonse. hell i can't help it.

[morvelification]

i wish there were footage of the entire set..

this is gold

[pieterjanoddens]

I've played these chords last night in a jamsession with my girlfriend on flute! Nice session, but I noticed later on that it was similair to the Jethro Tull song. That's what propably happend to The Eagles too! Great way to write a hit...

[Malzarin]

Please see all the other Tull Isle stuff. They were one of the few highlights! If you want to see a band on the rise, this is it. If you need more from music after this seek YES and King Crimson

[ToMRocKsss]

ooohh my god!it's orgasmic!great!\m/\m/

[thegofdd]

ian anderson, the real father of maynard...how many times must the Tool members have listened to Jethro Tull albums, must have been thousands. Tull should have a wing in the RRHOF, they influenced so many types of music and simply amazing musicians.

[SirJethro]

@thegofdd

Tool comparable to Tull? In which way?

[drprogensteinphp]

@SirJethro

Jethro Tool?

[RFZYJTELPJP]

John Evans' Smash!

[Rocky54167]

Is it just me or does it look like most of this preformance was pieced together from other songs from the night? Cause i can deffently see a lot of my god, Clive loseing his hat then regaining it on his head? i am just curious if it is just me

[Rocky54167]

@Rocky54167 and i ment by the video not the actually son

[kdmerse]

The best Tull album ever

[sydferret]

I first saw them in '77 and for me peaked around Aqualung, the early stuff like this is my favorite now.

[thefoppa1000]

4:25 is great.

[thefoppa1000]

less flute, the better. That's why Stand Up kicks ass.

[badgeraldo]

the best tull-song ever...

[DominickBlack]

Underpriced tickets.....

[DominickBlack]

That's how it's done.

[ACanette]

How come Martin Barre is so unappreciated? He plays like hell!

Great performance, looks really epic

[eljerbilbo]

@ACanette Because he plays and doesn't care about the rest. In a shallow world like ours, that doesn't pay. You want to be famous? Bet on looks rather than talent!

[fireflyzip]

@ACanette right on. I do believe Martin has a huge following...its just not in the mainstream....I sure appreciate his playing!

[elpolarbear]

...he still is quite awesome..like Blackmore/Iommi/Page/Townshend

[mbombassaro]

Perfect.......... theres no other word to say

[digimaton]

wow, this is rock, I didn't know this guys played like this, they certainly kicked ass for 1970, obviously more influential than they are given credit for, Mahavishnu Orchestra clearly got some ideas from here.

[TalFlavi]

amo essa banda, pra mim é a melhor! qualidade dos músicos é incrível!!

[mattstollar]

JETHROTULL FOREVER EDEN!!

[chuckdd4201]

Love the early Tull, Best band ever and The Eagles so ripped off we used to know. Don Felder or Joe Walsh are hacks compared to the very great and under-rated Martin Barre...

[drprogensteinphp]

@chuckdd4201

Prior to The Eagles, members Randy Meisner & Timothy B. Schmit were in the band Poco, who were billed together with Jethro Tull during 1969/70 at various shows in the US. Perhaps this is where the idea for Hotel California arose?..same key, and chord progressions etc. I've always been a huge Tull fan...seen 'em live 8 times over the last 40 years or so. I'm also a huge Joe Walsh fan...seem him with The James Gang, and as a solo artist. Hardly what I'd call a hack.

[gazzaboy2531977]

@drprogensteinphp Wasnt it Don Felder who was the main composer of Hotel California? And he did not join until 1974. I dont see a comparison here at all mate .

[drprogensteinphp]

@gazzaboy2531977

As I said...Timothy B Shmit and Randy Meisner were in 'Poco' (and toured with Jethro Tull late 60s), combined with the fact that the two were later members of The Eagles with Felder...it's quite obvious. Herein lays your "comparison", not to mention the aforementioned similarities with chord progressions etc. Bottom line...The Eagles borrowed (for lack of a better word) the Jethro Tull song. It's easy to grasp this...if you have two fully functional ears, it even easier.

[CopperLock29]

- Best band ever

-So good song

: jethro tull forever!

[slowride503]

Now we know where Don Felder got the chord progression for "Hotel California".

[RolandEP97]

This must be the performance that encouraged the song "Play In Time," which, in itself, was a response to some music hacks criticism.

Superb band - all incarnations, that is, IMHO

[Literateadas]

the best band ever.

[kpsars]

pure magic!
