My final attempt at A Passion Play concert film.

(Unless a wealth of footage is someday discovered)

This July will already be 4 years since I uploaded my

1st Passion Play film. This was before Youtube could

handle high quality video and I was using software

that allowed only one track of video editing. Even

with those limitations the response I have had from

that film was shocking to me. I literally have

hundreds of e-mails and they're still coming. (this is

also when youtube allowed you to search and find the

videos you were looking for)

This mystical concert had an even greater impact on

those who saw it than I had thought, and those who

weren't there were able to imagine what it might have

been like.

This update to my Passion Play film is much improved.

Both quality and sound sync. More of my original

intent.

Mainly film from Oakland 1973 and Madison Sqare

Garden.This is the best version of Oakland 73 I have

found.The sound for the entire film is also Oakland.

This film has always had actual sound but has also

always been out of sync so I finnaly fixed the audio

sync on this. I also did some color correction and

reduced the screen size in an attempt to acheive the

best quality I could from it. I just couldn't get that

with fullscreen. It would, at times look crummy.


I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the

way I considered part of the tulltapes team including

Electrocutas Pete, Davy Hall, Tullpress,

bootlegstullianos, Ministry of Information, All my

family and friends from the Tull heyday, PaulHartxyz,

& underwwraps2 (who has his own nice collection of

Passion Play videos) and everyone I forgot.

A very special Thanks to my friend Chris Crump
who was actually part of the travelling Passion Play

circus. Controlling the lasers during Ian's flute

solo, Juggling on stage during Martin's guitar solo,
or playing Sunshine of your Love on the drums as Ian

looked on before Tull's soundcheck. It was one of the

most memorable experiences of his life and I thank him

for sharing some of those great stories with me and

moments with us. His excellent photos shown in this

film were taken from the front row in Los Angeles..

July, 18th 1973

Thank You

@murfleblurg You are right! All things aside he could play some really tough parts and live keep up with the others. The live videos on YT are a testament to that. He may not have been a natural musician but doing what he did, required musical talent and that he did have.

[murfleblurg]

I find the thing about Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond not being a "real" musician sort of funny. The joshing about how they had to teach him his parts and so on, and complaining a bit about how it slowed them down in rehearsal. Don't know how many people could leap around like fleas and hit every note in a convincing way all the way through a Tull concert that included most of Thick as a Brick and all of A Passion Play. Not so many. Maybe he wasn't musically creative, but he could sure play.

[jrpipik]

I think that's just about the right reading. It particularly applies to the young artist being told by his father (owl) and mother (kangaroo) and his various friends (bee and newt) that he can't see what it's important in life, when he has a vision of his own. The author, Jeffrey Hammond (Hammond), eventually followed his own path away from not only his family's expectation but away from Tull itself to being the painter he knew himself to be.

[jhillst]

I see the "Hare" story as a metaphor for how people tend to meddle in other people's supposed problems, without realizing that those people may already have everything under control. Frankly, I think it makes a lot more sense than the rest of the album.

[MandoBigRiff]

Incredible stuff, thank you for posting. Great memories too, the Passion Play Tour was an extravaganza that has not been surpassed (in my book). Of the early Tull members, I miss John Evan the most. This past october, in the 2010 AEWIA tour, the Hare was back on stage in a simpler yet quite enjoyable version ;)

[crazywhitechick7]

This is about as cool as it gets Michelle "The hare that lost his spectacles"' This brings back the memories of seeing this concert at the Portland Memorial Colosseum It doesn't get any better than this.

darincody claims he was the Newt. See "Ian Spotting" on his channel.

[underwwraps2]

looks like it might be Ian in the frog suit at 4:55 . Nick
