For those of us who went to these concerts, we will never forget! Bands for the past 35 years are pathetic for the most part compared to the period of 1965-1975.

Tull was my first concert - Oct 31 1972. I was 15 yo. Don't remember much now but I do remember them doing this song. Tull has always been one of my favorites.

what a stupid the phone call was....

This warms my soul. Saw the whole show in Jacksonville 1972. Thank Bog someone was filming those incredible concerts. And thank you for finding and posting this one!
-
would love to hear the entire song performed live again. I know Anderson was making fun of prog rock with this album, but, ironically, they became one of the best prog rock bands as a result.
-
One of the arguments against this album was that it only took two weeks to put together..... evidence of this bands combined creative juice, was overflowing onto the record. I was listening to older Genisis stuff, probably more progressive than Tull, yet the accessability factor of their compositions, and spatial themes for the sake of spatial themes, just a touch pretentious sounding...IMHO

I was 16 when I saw this show in long beach CA, it set the bar for everything to follow. Tull is timeless..the way Ian Anderson moves.. a true stage show without the fluff . Awesome to see this.

Yep. The whole performance was a send up of the prog-rock concept album and the rock-opera ideas of the time - Tommy and Tales from Topographic Oceans, etc.
You have to read the original album cover - a fake newspaper (pages of it!) to get all of the jokes.
The irony of it is that 'Thick' was probably the best composed of all those prog-rock extended pieces.

first saw Tull in 1972 I was mesmerised, absolutely the best live band I have ever seen. I remeber buying TAAB and reading the newspaper cover to cover and cracking up at the Pythonesque humour of it all
