PART1 JETHRO TULL THICK AS A BRICK MAKING OF 1972 8MM FILM + PICS, REAL SOUND

The making of the Thick as a Brick.

One of the greatest rock lp's and tours ever!

The first rock LP to feature the entire album as one long song!

This short homemade documentray consists of live 8mm segments, pictures, narration, and interviews with Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, & Jeffery Hammond Hammond.

Live 8mm video mainly used

Bologna early 73 TAAB tour

The first video clip you see is from Bologna 1973. This and the rest of the Bologna clips used in this film are with
actual real sound!!
Very Rare to see any Thick as A Brick Tour with real sound!

Thanks to Nick (underwwraps2) for originally sending me an upgrade to that film

Buffalo 1972 (originally seen in proper sync on darincody's page)

And Rochester NY 1972.

Watermark used to protect from the people who use our efforts to promote illeagal DVD's on youtube and various other blogs across the internet.

There are some annoying audio glitches which could not be fixed at the time. Sorry for that!

Also thanks to Paul Hart for his photo contribution.

The commentator says the album was performed in its entirety on the '72 tour, but is that really true? Did the band really play all of Side 2? I don't think I've heard any of that in the bootleg tapes.

[TullTapes]

@aboutime9 you are right.. they did however ad parts that were not on the lp. Also they may have played the entire thing or close to it on the first couple nights of the first tour and then scraped some of it.. this is unknown..

the entire brick recording would be the holy grail of recordings.

One of my earliest concerts, Autumn 1972, Baltimore Maryland. Their "first" song was the entirety of TAAB; after the applause died down Ian announced, "and now, for our second number..." and the band went on for another hour and a half. Fantastic. I only wish Ian would release a full dvd of this show

is there a part 2?

[bibes777]

Silly me it was June 8, 1972 in Edmonton - how could I forget!

[bibes777]

I saw Tull on Aug 6, 1972 at the Gardens in Edmonton. Row 1 center seats, no security guards. I almost could have grabbed Ian Anderson's mic. The Eagles (who? - in those days) were the lead off band. But from what I remember they did play all of Thick as a Brick Parts 1 and 2. And they played most tracks of the Aqualung album.

Was probably the greatest concert I ever saw!

$5.50 for this show....what do we pay for now

Can't wait for the 2012 tour!

thick as a brick , my ex wife ! but a fantastic track

[wrhogan]

There is no question the entire album was performed in its entirety on the '72 tour. I saw them very early in the winter of 72 in Chicago - knew the album intimately -- every note -- and they played every one of them. It may have been the best concert I've ever seen - by anyone ever - and I've seen Tull at least 15 times since then. That concert was the most energetic and rollicking thing I have ever seen....

Ian was really the predecessor of theatrical front men way before his time. I can hardly watch these clips of his almost manic mannerisms without thinking of Peter Gabriel, and others like him who followed. Elton John was doing his own thing at the time, but also called Ian a "musical genius."

concerto in italia! dai "bravooooo!!!" del pubblico... che anno e dove?

@DirkJefferson I saw the 72 concert in West Palm Beach, Fl. Thick as a Brick had not been released in our area yet, so it was a song I had never heard until then. It was perfect. The whole night was like a dream. First off, there were men setting up the equipment on stage, they were all dressed in trench coats. Once the stage was set, the men remove their coats and it was the boys themselves. They jumped right into Thick as a Brick. Fantastic Stuff. It could not have been better.
