This is the best song on what I consider to be their tour de force album! I love it! Saw them in Toronto on the Crest of a Knave tour (which was an awesome album in its own right) and they opened with this. I was blown away at how tight they were Ian Anderson was at his absolute best that night!
Although I am actually a bigger Peter Gabriel/Genesis fan (though Ian is much more bad-ass on the flute), it saddened me that Jethro Tull did not get into the RnRHoF first. Tull was the first Prog Rock band to get any recognition in the states and they left a legacy of great albums and performances. Why are they not in the Hall?
70's greats Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Genesis and now Alice Cooper are all in there. It's time for Tull!

Even tho I mostly listen to Eazy E and stuff like that. I love this song. Wish more music was more like this, and less like money money bling bling gucci money gucci bling gucci money.
@Commandergeno Their modern performances are showing the fact that the main members of the band (including Ian) are getting old, but that is the only thing holding them back the tiniest bit. I saw them live about a year ago, and it is one of the best shows I ever went to - even though Ian is struggling with the higher notes. Their spirit is as alive as always, and the audience can't help but get infected by it! If you ever get a chance to see them: DO SO!
Tull...are just Tull. Its always this time of year when the leaves are on the ground me and what to me is a magical time of year as we enter a festive season I feel the need to "dose" up on a bit of Tull.
No band in history was tighter than Tull.They are by far the most earthy and acessable prog band.I have always been amazed by the way they stop and go without screwing up.Ian is the best front man in rock music.Not because he is the best singer but the best showman and his great songwriting.Modern bands would do good to study Tull.

Fab sounds
Tull has always been famous for their live performances. I am not surprised at all at the brilliant performance here. Love Jethro Tull. Have Crest of a Knave Tattoo. =)
In "Songs from the Wood" and "Heavy Horses", Ian Anderson went bucolic -- and I realized that the man is in fact the reincarnation of Q. Horatius Flaccus, elsewise known as Horace - able to write both biting satires and elegies to the agrarian life...

Being born in '73, I have one question. Why can't there be musicians with this level of passion and talent around today? Or at least why must they be such a minority? Music has never been about who sells the most records, it is all about expression, and conveying your thoughts and feelings to your audience. These guys remind what it is like to believe in magic again. Truly amazing.
@jaysonryder1973 There are some really good musicians out there you just have to look for them because the corporate machine promotes crap and lets the best languish.
@jaysonryder1973 There are some greats today, they have the potential, but no encouragement. They are stuck in boring money-making ruts that dont encourage any sort of experimentation. Its really the collective fault of society, if shit like gaga and beiber didnt get millions of views maybe we would have some hope.
@jaysonryder73 The writing is so far ahead of most, that you can lose track in a hypnotized way. A true Minstrel in the Gallery! Ian was born in Scotland but soon was moved to England (school yrs.). After finishing near the top of all classes he went the musician/artist route in '68, turning out Tull's first albumn 3 months after Ian started training himself on flute wher his genious began to flourish.Writing talent alone should put him in the RHOF, but performance is 1st rate!
@weewilly49 Didnt achieve anything at school - He was kicked out of Blackpool grammar school for 'misdemeanours' (unspecified) and refusing corporal punishment

The rock and Roll hall of fame does not define genius. The same way the Oscars do not define good movies.It's not all about the USA, there is another world out there you know.Good music is good music I don't have to be told by someone else I can work it out for myself!
Many greats come to mind, but still, it is hard to believe that any music ever written and performed is better than this. Mozart could not have done this. Not Wagner. List a great one and realize this piece is significant. Many are its equal in their own rights. Nothing better. Please tell me after you hear this all the way through what you believe and I will listen to your fave and enjoy it too.

So, you take some 16th century English and Irish folk music, play the hell out of it, electrify it, syncopate the hell out of it, add a little fusion jazz to taste and produce a classical -rock masterpiece. Who would have thought?
Saw this tour, too. What an incredible performance and this is a jewel of a video, with great (rare) quality audio to boot! This was the second tour of Tull's that I saw...1979 I think, with 1975's Warchild the first. My bro went to the Aqualung tour and Thick as a brick as well as the 1971 Passion Play tour. I bought the coat and the boots and took up guitar... Ian's the greatest rock songwriter of all time (next to John Lennon)...
Everything got quite worse once john Glascock died, this was an amazing Tull lineup, because it wasn't just Ian composing the music, it was the whole lineup, not to mention amazing performances. All though Tull did still have some amazing albums afterwards, such as "Broadsword And The Beast" but you couldn't really call it "Tull" anymore, it was more like Ian, Martin, and other faceless members that changed time to time,
I have been a Jethro Tull fan ever since an older cousin turned me on to their Album Benefit. in 1970. Every now and then I love listening to "Minstrals In The Gallery" and " Songs From The Wood " while watching the movie "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring the late actor Errol Flynn. Great ! music. These are real musicians who right great lyrics.. Check out "Crest of A Knave" 1987 "The Broadsword And The Beast" 1982
Saw them in Cambridge several years ago(1995?) at venue named Corn Palace. They were absolutely brilliant! Had only seen them in large venues prior to that back in 1970's. I love Tull!

@ianasdfg I watched a section of a 1979 documentary I think, it was on Youtube, and he said he didn't sing a song until it was being recorded so it was "fresh" haha. Whatta guy.
John Bonham was great, really great. He said that Barriemore Barlow is the best british drummer ever. I agree with him, but I say that Barriemore Barlow is the best drummer ever...
My best concerts in the 70´s was the three I went to with JethroTull !
Ian Anderson jumping around on one leg playing the flute singing with his powerful amacing voice, and Martin Barre fantastic guitar work. those were the days. I still have my brown suéde boots with fringes.
Bull, I have written your letters correctly a bunch of times! Now I forgot what in the hell I posted! I agree with you Chloe, Ian knew what was coming, and also what lies ahead after all settles down in our world. And I agree that Jethro Tull is the best band on the planet, especially in our day of the 60's & 70's! Best music ever made, EVER!

@jaysonryder1973 those people still exist, they have merely moved on to other genres
back in their time, these types of hypercreative musicians were always at the top of the wave when it came to musical advancement within genres
today, that top has long since moved on into other directions... such as electronic/acoustic hybrids, for example
and that's where you'll find those "true" musicians of today

The rock and Roll hall of fame does not define genius. The same way the Oscars do not define good movies.It's not all about the USA, there is another world out there you know.Good music is good music I don't have to be told by someone else I can work it out for myself!

Many greats come to mind, but still, it is hard to believe that any music ever written and performed is better than this. Mozart could not have done this. Not Wagner. List a great one and realize this piece is significant. Many are its equal in their own rights. Nothing better. Please tell me after you hear this all the way through what you believe and I will listen to your fave and enjoy it too.

So, you take some 16th century English and Irish folk music, play the hell out of it, electrify it, syncopate the hell out of it, add a little fusion jazz to taste and produce a classical -rock masterpiece. Who would have thought?

Saw this tour, too. What an incredible performance and this is a jewel of a video, with great (rare) quality audio to boot! This was the second tour of Tull's that I saw...1979 I think, with 1975's Warchild the first. My bro went to the Aqualung tour and Thick as a brick as well as the 1971 Passion Play tour. I bought the coat and the boots and took up guitar... Ian's the greatest rock songwriter of all time (next to John Lennon)...

Everything got quite worse once john Glascock died, this was an amazing Tull lineup, because it wasn't just Ian composing the music, it was the whole lineup, not to mention amazing performances. All though Tull did still have some amazing albums afterwards, such as "Broadsword And The Beast" but you couldn't really call it "Tull" anymore, it was more like Ian, Martin, and other faceless members that changed time to time,

I have been a Jethro Tull fan ever since an older cousin turned me on to their Album Benefit. in 1970. Every now and then I love listening to "Minstrals In The Gallery" and " Songs From The Wood " while watching the movie "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring the late actor Errol Flynn. Great ! music. These are real musicians who right great lyrics.. Check out "Crest of A Knave" 1987 "The Broadsword And The Beast" 1982

My best concerts in the 70´s was the three I went to with JethroTull !
Ian Anderson jumping around on one leg playing the flute singing with his powerful amacing voice, and Martin Barre fantastic guitar work. those were the days. I still have my brown suéde boots with fringes.

Bull, I have written your letters correctly a bunch of times! Now I forgot what in the hell I posted! I agree with you Chloe, Ian knew what was coming, and also what lies ahead after all settles down in our world. And I agree that Jethro Tull is the best band on the planet, especially in our day of the 60's & 70's! Best music ever made, EVER!

A big part of Tulls shows Ian performs with a along with a recorded track as he does at the beginning of this song.
When I realized that it took away a lot of the magic.
