Stand Up
Benefit
Thick As A Brick
Aqualung
If Barre had not adopted what is (to my ear) an unmusically overdriven guitar tone, I could’ve enjoyed albums such as Songs From the Wood and Bursting Out.
Jethro Tull
Ian Anderson has been making music for over a quarter of a century. The band he went into the studio with was Jethro Tull but the personal was either different from album to album or something on a personal level was going on with bandmates from album to album that he had to take over their playing duties. Name your top 5 Jetro Tull albums.
1)Aqualung
2)Crest of a Knave
3)Benifit
4)Songs from the Woods
5)Stormwatch
I have been buying the 24 bit remasters which sound great but also the updated liner notes by Ian tell you what "Trauma" the band was going through with each recording.

@tonykay - when did they play at the Paramount? I've been to many shows there (I live across the Bay in SF) but don't recall that one, but I may have lost interest in them around that time. |
larsman, My wife and I saw them at the Paramount several years ago. I believe it was some sort of anniversary tour. Ian’s voice may not have been the same as the 1970’s but I’m such a fan that it didn’t matter. They played the hits, like "Thick As A Brick" and "Aqualung", so I was happy. In my earlier post, I neglected to mention "Songs From The Wood". That one is also a favorite! That concert at the Paramount was about fifteen years ago, so I'm guessing it was their 40th Anniversary or maybe their 50th since forming in the 1960's. |
@tonykay - Thanks, Tony; I didn't know if this was something recent or a stop at a theater like that in their heyday, 'cause I sure would have liked to have seen that! I did see them a number of times; once at a pop festival in MD in '69 when Mick Abrahams was still with the band, and also the classic lineup on the 'Aqualung' tour, the 'Thick as a Brick' tour, and the 'Passion Play' tour. |
larsman, Thanks for looking in. I was a fan when "This Was" first came out in the late 60's. I had just gotten my first apartment, and my neighbors were big Tull fans who took pictures at their concert and gave me one. Then I heard "Stand Up" and liked it so much I bought the album with the pop-up centerfold. Obviously, I have nearly all of their albums, even the later ones (after Minstrel in the Gallery) but the ones I still listen to are the earlier ones. I named them in my earlier posts. Thinking back, I think it was the "Passion Play" album that ended my automatic purchase of every Tull album. I still don't get that one. Maybe I just need to listen one more time LOL.
