This has brought back great memories.

The combination of those lush Hollywood strings and cool Sax solo. WICKED (and unique). Brings out the silly sentimental old sod in me (these two would sympathise!)

@Babocska007 The clip is by no means perfect. But one has to put it in context. This is from a one hour television special that had Tull miming the entire album. The budget could not possibly have extended to brilliance to cover the entire production. Also, it would have been a promotional tool....designed to be screened once or twice, as a whole, and in context. I for one would be very pleased to see the entire special available from the original master on DVD.

I diasgree. The quality is poor because of the age but thanks so much for posting it. It's historic and a little bit of rock history too. Its a different arrangement with strings of a simply fantastic Tull song. Never heard this 'plush' arrangement . As for video it's brilliant- all the 'extra' touches like sad sax solo twangy Shadows guitar, Charlie Parker ref. reflect sardonic lyrics-shrewdly observing the age of the late 60's.. A Tull classic-as is this video. But where is Part2? Cant wait.

I read On The Road whilst listening to this album, when I had a beautifull imagination, now all I can do is work and buy things and swear at the tv.

A+++ This song is actually a razor-sharp observation of what movements gave birth to the popular culture of 'rock and roll'. the dead beat reflects the 'mod' culture and beat poetry of nyc and london -- mixing nicely from the mood of biker films, hot rodding and james dean -- "i wasn't there friend," of course more sardonic prose from ian's sober eye...but we're the richer for it!
