Great track off of the Crest Of A Knave Album in 1987.

Agree with NonRider: not many people know it, and the album upon which it appears - Crest of a Knave - seems to be the hardest one to find in stores. This song is a classic. Great words and great flute playing. Ian Anderson and Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues are, IMO, the best flute players in rock music.

This is what seperates the artist from the wannabes,it dont get no bette than FARM ON THE FREEWAY!

Saw them in 1987(??) on the Crest of a Knave tour at Maple Leaf Gardens - One of the top 5 concerts I have seen. Ian Anderson was at his manic best. He played the part of the wandering minstrel to a T and the Band was as tight and in tune as they could be - opened with Songs From the Wood, Farm on the Freeway was one of the highlights of the night, they saved the best for last: Locomotive Breath and the encore Aqualung brought the house down! I'd give a part of my anatomy to see that show again!

This song has some of the greatest lyrics ever written. It is a musical masterpiece in every sense. Glad I had good parents who let me hear great music that meant something.

I first saw Jethro Tull in 1969. They opened for Led Zeppelin and no one had ever heard of them. The first album was not even out yet in the US. Ian Anderson just blew us all away. Stole the show from Led Zeppelin, who were a let down after Jethro Tull. I went on to see them 5 more times, more than any other band. Always a fan and admirer.
