JETHRO TULL RARE PASSION PLAY 1973 LIVE PROJECT PART 3

[laubmayer]

I saw this in San Diego!!!!! It was also my first Tull concert!

[DrNeb]

Unfortunately for me, this was the first concert I ever attended. I have since been to hundreds of concerts (Zeppelin, The Who, The Stones, Genesis, Floyd etc.) and have yet to experience a concert that blew me away like this show. This was live music at it's best. No one compares to Ian live ... no one.

@DrNeb

shure, and with this music und the show, JETHRO TULL was on top of music avant-garde at that time !

[sirfleabert]

Hammond-Hammond is the coolest dude ever.

[Ltlegendary]

Reading other comments, I can say that I was fortunate to have seen this show plus Pink Floyd, ELP, Genesis (73&74 Lamb) and Alice Cooper's Billion $ Babies. What a year 1973 was and those were my first shows! but Tull remains among the Top 3 without a doubt. it sure was more than a concert, a once in a lifetime Event indeed!

[JungleRon]

My first Jethro Tull concert was this year, 1973 and Passion Play in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and my last was July of '08 in Imst, Austria...How cool is that? Ian is the greatest showman!

[holdersteven]

WHAT i REMEMBER ABOUT THE CONCERT MOST WAS THE BEGINNING WITH THE BIG PICTURE SCREEN AND THE BALARINA JUMPING INTO THE MIRROR . THE HEARTBEAT THROUGHOUT IN THE BASIC MELODY ONE OF THE GREATEST PERFORMANCES EVER

[Beadbud5000]

I do remember this show and at this point, the guitar is rockin! Wish the band had made some visual and audio tapes of the show professionally. It was a concert to see. 1973 was the year I believe the term progressive rock begasn to be commonly used. At this point in time, Tull was Prog!

[Xboxliv3]

The three best guitar players to me are Martin Barr(Jethro Tull), Jimmy page(Led Zepplein), and david gilmore(Pink Floyd)Tell Me Your Favorites Everybody!!!

[yogaman1919]

gilmor bb king and martin barre.

[Chrisdrumz]

Those three as well as Tony Iommi,Jerry Garcia and Mick Taylor!

[LordFancourt]

They are certainly three of my favorites, too. But I wish you would better honor them by getting their names (and bands) spelled right. Martin Barre, Page, (Zeppelin) and Gilmour. Did you know Martin was a marathon runner as well?

[obcpwaves]

Martin Barre, underrated guitarist and one of the best ever to have used a Les Paul. Barriemore Barlow, superb drummer. Ian Anderson, one Hell of a showman! John Evan, superb keyboard player. Jeffrey Hammond, the zebra who wielded the bass!

[felicer]

jeffrey h-h is great

[kokakolakidd]

I agree. Everyone mentions John Glascock without giving Mr. Hammond-Hammond his due. John was good but not better than Jeffrey.

[Tull1991]

Not in my opinion. Tull's Bassists go in this order: Glascock, Cornick, and Hammond (all very close), large gap then Pegg tied w/Goodier and then after another huge gap, Noyce, terrible in comparison w/ the others but still a halfway decent prog bassist, which is saying a lot. let me hear your opinions.

[DrNeb]

@Tull1991

My opinion: Cornick, Pegg, Glascock and then a huge drop off to Hammond and Noyce.

[wardka]

Folks - it's not the claghgorn. I think it's just a soprano sax, but played with somewhat more enthusiasm than Kenny G. Anderson pretty much stopped playing sax after this. As I recall, it was a godawful shrill wail hearing it live at 130 decibels.

[RanmaSal]

That, my friend, was a very cool MayPole dance

[felicer]

so great to see this. thank you thank you.

[thegsfcprobe]

You knocked me on my tail. Now I've lost MY spectacles. I almost cried. The audio sucks. Do I care? NO! I've SEEN this in my head since I was 16, & I'm 46 NOW! I started going to Tull concerts in 1976, so I missed this one. APP & TAAB are so indelibly worn into my memory I can sing along no matter how long it has been (CD) & I know ALL the words. I still hear the spots where my VIYNL had a scratch. This project was worth all the effort you put into it, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[greenvinyldream]

wow we are the same age my first concert was Tull in '76. But Passion Play is my all time favorite and it haunts me that I missed this because of my age.

[dtordahl]

ahh, my first was at MSG in '78 seems like we're of similar age.

I also missed Genesis (Lamb Tour) in '75, other than Tull, my most unmemorable event.

[tsushima91]

I agree, dtordahl, if I could have seen any show, 'Lamb' would have definitely been it. Luckily we have some idea of APP here. Brilliant stuff.. but you can't expect anything less of Ian Anderson

[SiThePi]

I think Ian's playing the dreaded claghorn here :-)

[pressgang]

fave tull music is always the forest dance would love to hear the outtakes

[dharr0]

bless you...it's a shame there is so little footage of Tull from 72-76 during the JT Circus years- it's the holy grail along with Genesis The Lamb! this project is key and I am surprised at how much you have been able to do - thank you!

[rico9909]

wow the end of that is the craziest sh*t i've ever seen
