  • Ian Anderson = Genius

  • Fantastic !! Simply the best !!

  • 3:05 - 3:30 The way he breaks into "if you've never been a sailor better try." is masterful. anderon's melodic sensibility was and is matchless. his staggering voice with the chord progressions is perfect. this is perfect.

  • Wow. Some day we'll get the music, No?

  • Esta es la sesión de fotos para el disco M.U. the best, en la edición en vinilo salía un poster con esta foto.

  • Is that Mick Abrhams? The co-founder.

  • they look like pirates, i love them

  • I don't usually make comments...but here, we talk about the best posts in all youtube...I like every tull album (dot com & roots, too)but I always believed that "passion play" was by far their best act! Both from "nightcap" & your posts...I see that even the best could be better! Thanks?

  • Thick as a Brick is better than a Passion Play..

  • @ChrisHaspeck there's not much as good as Thick as a Brick

  • I don't get it, is this a video of a photoshoot or something?

  • Thanks for posting this video, they were so young here, dolls in need of a proper haircut

  • The Chateau Disaster tapes is one of my favorite song, the song texts are SO strong. I've just seen Tull preform a week ago here in Holland. Man, they are still amazing.

  • Thanks for this great video Tulltapes. I love the music and I find the shoot interesting. John Evans was the only one without a beard so they made him the 'stable boy' and Ian remains an aloof spectator while the others were suppose to be English aristocrats with Jeffery at the head of the table?

  • Both of these tracks are rare. The flute isn't mixed out of Skating and that's the cleanest "Sailor" I've heard (besides post-mixing). I'd love to find a copy of these tracks in decent mp3... :( but I can listen to it here! Cheers!

  • Bugger me - I didn't think there was a Tull song I don't possess, but I was wrong!

  • PSHHHH! They were so talented and creative! They had SOOOOO much material! Come on! How bout the nightcap comes out and we relize there is a WHOLE album that was in the can and it was the connection between Thick as a Brick and Passion Play! One of the Best bands ever!!!

  • I've fallen in love with the first of the 2songs I've heard in this video, I would like to know the first song's title. Could someone tell it to me? sorry for my English!!

  • Hi! That song is Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day. It's a great song from the 1974 album Warchild. Amazing! Devi avere questo album, é meraviglioso. Ciao!!

  • That seems to me to have been the most prolific period for Ian. I mean he carried themes from Thick as a Brick to Passion Play to Chateau Disaster to Warchild and Minstrel. Yeah those wer days.

  • Man, they're still great as ever! They were in town the other night--AMAZING! The only thing that's changed is the looks, they're still as amazing as ever!

    LONG LIVE TULL!

  • god those were the days ayeeeee!!

  • They were?

  • Yes. Sailor is pretty rare. I have only heard it once and I would probably have to pry from its owners dead cold hands

  • Is that Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond at the head of the table? I'd like to see more footage of him if there is any. It's hard to come by.

  • Yes. That's Jeffrey Hammond at the head of the table. And yes, there is very little known footage of him or the band during his tenure with Tull. Which makes NO sense since that was the MOST popular period of Tull... 1971 to 1975.

    I do have an ULTRA-RARE clip of the band from mid-1975 (tail end of the Warchild tour). It's the only known PRO-SHOT live footage of Tull during the Jeffrey era... that isn't mimed.

  • They were really into their whole "archaic" artistic vision. I think their representation of it is consistent and authentic.

  • The second piece here IS Sailor. It wasn't included on Nightcap (I've heard that the master tape is long since missing, but I don't know how people know these things....however, it ISN'T on Nightcap, and Ian certainly didn't skimp on the vaults on that one; so maybe it's true. But maybe Barriemore Barlow will find it in his attic next year...

    However un-crisp the quality, great rare video of Jeffrey-era Tull......THANKS.

  • this is a well known track what you on about this isn't sailor

  • pretty sure they released sailor on nightcap... btw does anyone know those first lyrics? when the holy (......) decides to take a look. let me know if you do =)

  • SOD OFF !!

  • Now I thought I owned every tull album they made, but this song sounds only vaguely familiar! Is this off of warchild????

  • haha. you thought you owned every album, but if you havent heard this song you're not a true tull fan. sorry.

  • Which is the name of that rare second theme...? I thought I knew every song from tull, but this one is unknown to me.

  • "Sailor". Still unreleased.

  • Yes there is a promo shot of this session -- quite funny; I believe it was in the center of a music magazine like Circus or Creem or something, there's lots of photos at tullpres

  • Fantastic footage! Thanks for posting this

  • John Evan! Loved that guy! I miss him in Tull all these years. There's some great piano work of his on Living in the Past, live cuts.

  • Congratulations on putting on such a rare and interesting piece of film. The second track is totally new on me. Great to see it, thanks.

  • there is a photo from this shoot on martin barres myspace /martinbarre

  • I had heard that "Sailor" piece a long time ago, played for me by the editor of A New Day who had access to the Tull Tapes. Good to hear it again. Thank you.

  • thank GOD they changed the key of skating away

  • Great stuff

    I doubt Ian himself has all that stuff

  • This is beautiful! Thank you very much TullTapes!

  • alternate mix of skating away. wow. with flute!!! with i could find a better sounding version.

    thanks for posting. tull rules!!!

  • TullTapes.

    That looks like a fantastic photo shoot.

    It has a true "Old Masters - Shakespearean- Elizabethan" look to it.

    Of course, WARCHILD was Elizabethan rock at it's finest.

    Did you ever see any photos from this photo shoot?

    I never have.

  • Actually 18th century, Georgian, I guess you can call it. Wish I could get my hands on some of the costumes! I reenact that period.
