Re: Jethro Tull

Oh almost forgot - Jethro Tull were brill last night And we had great seats - right near the front just a few metres from Ian Anderson. It's the first time I've seen them and was very impressed

They were great.

Re: Jethro Tull

That is a first class set of songs for sure...Songs from the Wood and Nothing Is Easy jump out at me right away. Not surprising Locomotive Breath is the last song Tull has played at all three concerts I've seen here.

Re: Jethro Tull

I have a feeling Iv'e missed one out but I can't think, I realised it is 21 years since I last saw them, time runs on. Doane did a fantastic drum slot, just long enough to leave you wanting more not one that seems endless.

1974's War Child.

Speaking of ''War Child'', one of my favorite Jethro Tull songs, ''Rainbow Blues'' is found as a bonus tack on this album. The first time I heard this was on my brother's album, ''M.U. The Best of Jethro Tull''. I've heard ''Rainbow Blues'' was not recorded during the ''War Child'' sessions, but rather the ''Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! '' sessions, or even, ''Minstrel in the Gallery'' sessions.

Anyway, Rainbow Blues is one of my favorites.

Re: Jethro Tull

Yeah I have that album Groovy Man, I would rec it for anyone who wanted to check out Tull before deciding to delve any deeper into their music.

You did fine Sox, I like a good drum solo myself as long as it isn't too extravagant.

I can still remember the very first song Jethro Tull played when I saw them in 1978.

Re: Jethro Tull

GM - Rainbow Blues is a great tune IMO.

LG - Heavy Horses Is a classic Tull Album and that must have been a hell of a gig.
