My God - Jethro Tull Live at the Isle of Wight 1970

With opening banter included. 'My God,' played here live prior to it's recording and inclusion on the Aqualung LP by the Mark 2 line-up featuring: Ian Anderson (guitar, flute), Martin Barre (electric guitar), Glenn Cornick (bass guitar), Clive Bunker (drums) and John Evan (keyboards).

The festival at the Isle of Wight was the British version of Woodstock and was held at Afton Down which is a hill near the village of Freshwater on the Isle of Wight on August 26 - August 30, 1970. The festival was attended by approximately 600,000 people. Jethro Tull played on the last day with Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Moody Blues, Leonard Cohen, Richie Havens, Everly Brothers, Pentangle, and Donovan.

No doubt Jethro Tull was a high point for everyone in attendance that day. It would have been for me!

Enjoy.


P.S. 8:02-8:04 reminds me of Shane when he's loaded!

Surely, Woodstock was the American version of the Isle of Wight?

Jethro Tull has had so many wonderful lineups over the years and has experimented successfully with a wide range of sounds and styles. I have seen and enjoyed their performances over the years a lot.

However was one year old when this particular line up ended.

They are all still alive. I would love to see them perform with this line up once. Just the four of them.

@guitarlad89 Keep telling yourself what you want, but Jesus was about as irreligious as they come.

Genius.

I understand that Ian is against organized religion, but not every organized religion is bad. The concept of Judaism and Catholicism (which I am) is a very good, beautiful way to praise the Lord. Human beings and society have screwed up the concept. Just like Marxism, it works on paper, but when it actually gets put into use, it rarely works without being formed into something else. One can be part of an organized religion without being hypocritical :)

my thingy needs a lot of adjusting!

Ian soloing, he is going to let it out (everything inside him), and he's NOT going to stop and ask, "Are you getting this,...is this too much for you,...are you picking up what I'm throwing down here??"

either you get it, or you don't. A true artist I'd say.

This one provides an instant Positive Energy conduit.

God Bless the man and his multiple contributions and

thank you Elizabeth (Jo) B. from Livonia and your insight
