When they made this promo, they used the only professionally shot footage of the 1973 Passion Play tour. But none of that has ever surfaced with Passion Play audio. Only amateur stuff with matched audio from different bootleg tapes.

There is NO professionally shot live Tull around at all from the Jeffrey Hammond years 1971-1975 other than what is used in this promo for the 1974 song.

Wrong, the 1975 Paris concert has been filmed and one song ("Minstrel In The Gallery") appears on the "25 Years of" VHS

[drunk3director]

That Paris thing is lip-synced. There is no audience. It is not from an actual concert, just a promo. It doesn't count. If there is an actual concert filmed from 1975 with concert audio, where is it? Nobody has any of that footage. I doubt it exists.

[Tullvideoclips]

It's not lip-synced, absolutely, I have the whole performance of the song and it doesn't fade out, the video is just a bit out of sync with the audio. From the same concert they took the "A Passion Play" extract on the 25Years of Boxset

[drunk3director]

YEs, I have that Box Set that looks like a cigar box. Sure they could have made audio recordings at a lot of places on that tour. Has nothing to do with the film.

It is not out of sync, it is lip synced. I think the audio even cuts at some point. It was badly edited, but it is not a live performance.

[Tullvideoclips]

I can assure you it's not, it's a different performance!

It's well known among Tull traders the existence of the Paris video. Why do you think is lyp sinced? It's not

Another one of my favorite "songs with great instrumental interludes" from the 70's. I couldn't believe how naughty they were with the album cover for the War Child album & WTF is Ian wearing in this video? Whites tights with a leather jock strap?

[BobHunter1977]

There has GOT to be some professional recording of some shows from the Thick As A Brick tour and era. Those shows were Tull at their finest. Musically and theatrically - Jeffery Hammond-Hammond was incredible! The live stuff available from 1978, the edited version of TAAB with John Glascock (RIP) on bass, is a mere echo of what the band did in 1972-73. Ian Anderson MUST have something in his archives from the best years of TULL. No?

@sjplwc Ahh leave it to Ian to agrainst the grain!

[sjplwc]

I always thought it was rather strange that with all the empahsis on "warchild' in this song it is called "The Third Hoorah"; while another song on the album is called "Warchild". Share some similar lyrics, couldn't be more difft. stylistically.

[vinnypimentel]

Hammond-Hammond is a very good bass player, I like his style to play bass

[Ash1955]

Well done your are right. I guess you can't play everything on stage or the band will have nothing to do LOL. I seem to remember he gave up the sax because he said "I don't like the vibration in my mouth" LOL. I tried it and I see what he means :-). I think the Flute, Guitar, Bouzouki, Mandolin and Harmonica is enough for any man.

[themountainviewguy]

I'll bet you money ... the reason he does not play violin on stage is that he plays guitar and flute no one else plays that, so they get a backup violin player, or synthesizer. I'm pretty positive about that, and that those are the exacts words ... violin, sax and I think trumpet?

[Ash1955]

I'll have a look in my album and let you know :-). I've never seen Ian play one on stage and I've seen them soooo many times.

[themountainviewguy]

Yeah, it is way too forced, it looks like a gymnastic even now. I think they did that because looking at someone sitting there and playing is boring. I notice that in all the old tull videos, they are really making a huge expeneture of energy. I don't know how you can play a music instrument that way, especially for hours at a time. But they were fun to watch and listen to.

[themountainviewguy]

I believe in the liner notes for thick as a brick it says that ian anderson extended his virtuosity to .... among other things, violin, but i am going by memory, and the liner notes are not available on the CD version I don't think.
