This is..... The First 20 Years of Jethro Tull (Cut For TV)

[achtsieben87]

Early stuff was fantastic....later stuff sounds like Dire Straights

[eckrich60]

Thanks!

[largheto]

Exellent! Thanks for Up!

[posthumanhero]

'stand up' and 'benefit' are the only really rockin' albums they made....the rest is tolerable to annoying.

[davycrocketful]

the whistler is my fave tull song...amazing..

[moarscooby]

after Cornick and Bunker left, this band started to suck.

[dirkness42]

mark knopfler????

[Holdsworthands]

I love the voice from "Crest..." is strange because is when he lost his vocal range but I love it :)

[Holdsworthands]

Ian Anderson changed my life and the way I look the music... I´m a huge fan of the music history and, specially, the evolution of the progressive rock, and is incredible that Jethro isn´t mention many times in this history and how important that it was... it always was in a second plan but I think that is the most important band for many later things like progressive metal and the combination with folk (like Opeth)

Ian... you are a genius

very enjoyable. thanks

[Gus9763]

Thanks for putting this up. I can't watch my copy any more as I don't have a VCR.

Did they cut out Dave Rees, or is he and the "British Rail" bloke on later than Too Old...?

By the way, Terry Ellis is a waste of f$%^&^$%£%g videotape!!!!!

[Dirkchucklebutty]

I had to be at a recording studio in Brum with my band 'Glass On Ice' the following day at 9 a.m when this was on... I stayed up all night to watch Tull and didn't get any sleep, it was worth it though lol

[muzaklover78]

This is great, thank you!

[farsah14]

They are not in the Rock N Roll hall of fame and therefore the RNRHF means nothing to me.

[disconcertedd]

ABSOLUTELY UNMATCHED! THE BEST!

[StabbyMcButterPants]

I've always told non-Tull fans that you have to think of listening to Tull like going to see a play by Shakespeare. Or watching a group of minstrels in a forest spin tales of fairies and forgotten magic. The music of Tull isn't written, it's composed carefully and painstakingly. They are. in my mind, three things, a Celtic folk group, a rock band and modern jazz players. I think this is why some non-fans get confused. Because Tull is many genres, not just one, like Emerson Lake and Palmer.

[Goodhaggis]

Thank You for uploading this. I am listening a whatching everything I can get my ears on about Ian and Tull. Thanks Again................

[612franklin]

Big Thanks

[612franklin]

Now that's the history I've waited for big thanks

[WilliH2O]

That was quite enjoyable, sincerely appreciate the ability to see this on the internet.

[putthetellyon1]

This was recently shown on Vintage TV (Sky channel 369). Check the listings for repeats.

[nypdrums]

great vid thanks for the upload!

[BillySeagull]

Thanks for posting this! I really appreciate it! Tull is my favorite band and this tape is a true rarity!

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

Thanks for the great upload!!!

[ianwr000]

Jethro Tull are totally unique and special in every way.

[ianwr000]

ianhawdon,thank you! I've been trawling the net since 1990 looking for this.I had it on vhs all those years ago.Its a gem of a documentary with some real Tull classics included.You're a true Minstrel in the Gallery!

[WolfmanJoeHunter]

You legend!

[CelticReject]

OH MY FREEKING GOD!!! Thankyou for uploading this!!!!! I had it on video and played it until the tape streached!!!!! I would kiss you if i ever met you!

[cosmicrider287]

far out special!

[killcraz]

great video thanx for posting!! i have a copy on tape myself! rented it back in the early 90s & made a stereo copy!

[leegeddyfan]

From what i remember i thought Barriemore Barlow left after John Glascock died and the other 3 guys were left in the dust due to contract problems regarding the A album in 1980 , so Ian had to hire mostly outside hand

[hockeycoachbill]

Still my favorite band but watching the heavy horses stuff reminds me of how Ian Fucked Up by firing Barry and John and those guys.

[alien8ted]

Cool how they're saying it's been 20 years already, and this was 20 years ago. With the benefit of hindsight, Tull are still going strong after 40 years now!

[lerxt42]

john evan is a scarylookin fecker

[sameoldfitup2008]

It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. Now more than ever, British voters need to understand that they are being colonised. Unless they act decisively to halt this mass immigration wave, Britain and its thousands of years of culture, history and tradition will be submerged under the immigration invasion.

[Bypassone]

@sameoldfitup2008: pretty much the same your people did to american natives, uh? Just slower...

[aqua7cn]

I had this video an old VHS which is no longer payable...can someone find out if its on dvd?

[tansads]

that Stockholm 1969 live recording has to be one of my favourites, bunker/cornick are fantastic!

[PaulHartXYZ]

I have the original official VHS tape of this documentary. It came out in 1988.

[KingHellstrings]

Anybody have a copy of that Teacher performance?

[PaulHartXYZ]

Yes, Underwwraps2 posted that Teacher video... in full.

[Aqualung71]

Already have this video. That's cool how you got the whole thing on here.

[turkeytreat]

Well the tape ran out during this documentary...If you check ITV night time clip on main page of mine its got the rest on...Be good to see it if you upload...

[ianhawdon]

The first advert break during Blues Brothers gives it away! Same recording, same night.. spooky!

I'm not sure how long my tape goes after the documentary ends, but I'm sure we could probably extend your continuity vid quite a bit.. and the Advert bloopers during Tull are quite interesting too!

[ianhawdon]

and to add to my last comment, the News report seals it! Definitely the same night! How really weird! :-)

[turkeytreat]

ha ha...I know...Ive got loads of old tapes from NightTime and Tyne tees which im uploading. I recorded the Blues Bros when I was about 11 and always kept old VHS' like this

[turkeytreat]

I have this recorded from 1989...before this was Hitman and Her and Blues Bros...Ive uploaded most of the contnuity from this night on my page

[ianhawdon]

yes! that's the one! Does your copy have the advert blooper when the VT Clock can clearly be seen scrolling upwards for about 20-30 seconds? If it does, then it's no doubt the same night! I'll probably get round to uploading that in a few weeks.

[ianhawdon]

I think my Dad started recording at the start of the Blues Bros, and just let it run till the end of the tape! I would have been... -1 when it was recorded :-)
