  • How does one get a copy of the Original Broadcast? And why doesn't Ian release the video, parts of which are on the poorly edited Slipstream? Ray? You out there?

  • Additionally, they went into 'Uniform' from here and into Mark Craney's drum solo... posted anywhere?

  • Nice pictures, nice post.

  • was this the show recorded on king biscuit's flower hour?

  • Oh man, a thousand thank you's for posting this! Huge Tull fan but I've never heard this one, nor seen half the pictures! They were tearing it up!

  • Toll...bin Fan von Tull und,oder Eddie Jobson

  • Like how the flute and the violin were combined... perfect ^^

  • I used to amuse myself by playing the LP at very loud volumes & jamming along on the drumset. I did a decent job as an amateur, but Tull has always inspired me, especially "A." Brilliant. Ian said that he began this work intending it to be a solo album before realizing that he was actually recording a Tull record. That story always makes me laugh.

  • Great tune but I must add that Mark Craney was simply a superb drummer. No music college attendance just hard work and raw talent. One of the best drummers of all time.

  • So what, I get to look at a picture?

  • @BARRIEMOREBARLOW Nobody forces you to

  • Pic around 7:00... space men in casualwear? Somehow it fits the era, early 1980s. Seems like for the first time in the band's history they must have been listening to A&R promo guys. 'Ian-as-Aqualung' definitely cleaned up... moved w/ the times... no microbes allowed! Guess he rejected all this soon enough.

  • I used to think like that as well, but with the time i realized that "A" is an excelent album and quite unfairly treated by most of the fans.

  • @Semente200 I ws soooo pissed at him when "A" came out because of the mass personel changeover of the best band I ever heard or he ever had (IMO) that I never gave it a chance. There are some great tracks on "A" but all in all it pales in comparison to hes previous 7 or so albums before that. I later found out the real story behind that changeover & have long forgiven my man IAN:-)

  • Not very familiar with Jethro Tull, but Mark Craney and whoever is on bass are top rate musicians. RIP Mark Craney- you were an underrated drummer, but one of the best in the business.

  • @justatuch Dave Pegg on bass. Funny how this band had Mark Craney as a brilliant figure in the jazz rock fusion world, and Eddie Jobson as a towering figure in progressive rock, and Dave Pegg as a mainstay in the British folk rock scene...

    I really dig the A album. I say it is the last one that had some downright energetic stuff, even though I do like the albums that followed for about a decade afterward.

  • Terrific performance of a song from a terrific album.

  • thanks..some of this is new--like some photos and ians family....nice job..love to get the audio of this

  • awesome video..I have this entire show on an old cassette I don't recall how I acquired it..it was recorded off the king biscuit flower hour...right before aqualung on it it has this awesome baroque esque jam between martin barre and david pegg.

  • Brings back memories of the Albert Hall show when Eddy played the giant pipe organ during his solo. Does anyone else think that Ian would look a lot better today still wearing a beret rather than the swimming cap he favours?

  • @dirtyflute

    Yes I was there - and I remember that - it was a musical highlight of my love - absolutely brilliant theatrics with musicianship to match

  • Interesting live version.

    I like it a lot.

    Thanks for this.

  • I had never seen many of these photos, great job!

  • EX Photos! UW2
