Jethro Tull Live Thick As A Brick 1972 8mm

8mm footage from Rochester and Buffalo, New York, 1972 snuggly synced (you have to watch the magic finger!) with audio from Norfolk and Toronto. Check out 5:48
Sorry for all the jump cuts but thats how it was shot! There's only a couple of shots that the syncing strays and they are in areas of the song that changed from night to night. For further info contact: darincody@yahoo.com

Great work!!!  Thank you for your efforts. I echo others who have said more!!!. Saw the 1972 April show at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium. the band slipped on the stage as stage hands. Captain Beefheart was the opening act. It was an amazing night of entertainment. Doubt this would happen but I would love to see a Thick As A Brick tour where they did the entire album. They always did bits and pieces after this tour and it never was quite enough. Thanks again!!

Thanks very much.

I too remember all those trenchcoated stage hands, in LA, walking back and forth setting up and after a while they were JUST walking back and forth and from the back walking through the rest, one came towards the front of the stage, pulling his cap off and all that hair came spilling out, Anderson, then the rest revealing themselves as the band. I always loved Ian's entrances.

@underwwraps2 The Footswitch sets off the tape of the telephone ringing.

Same with the girls talking.....and all other sound effects that ever happened at a Tull show, Ian was in charge! lol

[darincody]

@yoursaxman PM me.

Ian had an array of footpedals and swicthes to trigger the tapes that played. Foot pedals for his delay, speed and volume.

Not quite as many as "yoursaxman" has but enough for 1972..... "Cm sus4 and F maj"!...."The guitarist, the drummer and I myself will blend and aspire towards our eager participation in anticipation of the orgasmic sensation to follow......." ;-)

@yoursaxman

What does the foot pedal do?

[yoursaxman]

at 1:21 he hits a footswitch! Fucking brilliant! always wondered how they cued that stop!

[yoursaxman]

@darincody i had that Ticketron boot... this is wonderful! that instrumental bit at 3:50 is amazing- Evan just SHINES! and when Jeffrey announces "Ian is playing a rhythmic link sequence consisting of alternating bars of Cm suspended 7th and D major... (i forget) resulting in percussive counter rhythms..." it all came flooding back. Any chance of getting a copy? please?!?!?!?

This is a holy grail of live Jethro footage, when they were the best live band on the planet (as well as the best studio band at that time as well, IMO. I saw them in Tuscaloosa in April 1972 about a week or two before Thick as a Brick was released and quickly realized the entire album was one giant song! Spectacular, ambitious, audacious. I welcome any live footage pre-1978.

the first time they played thick as a brick live was at malvern winter gardens.
