Jethro Tull - BBC Lively Arts Documentary 1979 - Part 3

[@jamesschott2870]

If I only had a time machine......2022 would never see the likes of me again.....I would NEVER leave 1979.....thank you Ian.....

[@masonman825]

With you on that, if only....

[@DouglasNetchurch]

He is the real thing. Crazy eyes! I once was a concert where I was in the audience singing too loudly. He stared at me for 3 seconds and I couldn't sing anymore. Had to listen silently to the whole concert. ^^ And also, he's an honest to god genius. Awesome. :)

Ian came to town a few years ago when Martin was still in the band-and I was really close to the stage, just kind of focusing on Martin's fingers for awhile, and I looked up and Ian was looking right at me, like "Hey, Dude--eyes right here. I'm playing right now."

[@logue444]

Finding this made my day. This is prime-era Tull. Stormwatch is one of my favorite of their albums. I bought it the week it came out, and seeing this takes me back...1979. I was 15 years old. Ah, back in the day! :)

[@PaulHartXYZ]

Priceless stuff. To actually witness the writing and recording of one of Tull's greatest songs (Dark Ages). What a treat. "Shaking the Dead"

[@jacquelineanderson4958]

I can't say enough about this great legendary band. Ians flute playing is so superb. I love jethro tull.

[@EdwardsOperation]

Best band ever. Love this album too; one of their best.

[@frankmerolillo3880]

Storm watch was a awesome album.

[@proacayonsparkdelta6933]

best group ever

[@uncleambient]

THE classic Tull line-up

[@justgivemethetruth]

Wonderful to see a bit of Ian's process. Everything I've read and seen has said he hates to be watched or filmed with he sings for an album. It's nice to hear him singing with such a strong voice and noodling around with the flute. My favorite music by far!

[@derwahreguetige]

Mich verurteilst du dafür, dass ich mir als Fan der ersten Jahre, seine wunderschöne Stimme zurück wünsche ,und die jetzige als grausam empfinde, ihn aber trotzdem über alles respektiere und liebe. Trotzdem schöne Pfingsten noch....

Would love to have seen the Heavy Horses tour, from which these live shots were filmed. Early 1979 was the tail end of that tour and, sadly, John's final days with the band. I was fortunate enough to get to see them in October of that year at the beginning of the Stormwatch tour.

[@kerrystevens3683]

I love this band!!!! Ian was so ahead of his time. I wish I could back to these days!!!

[@vitorrezende9546]

Excellent Dark Ages. Great Song!!

[@kw5839]

Coolest flute solo ever!

[@timjackson3931]

This is just fantastic!

[@georgehenderson7783]

Ian was 14 years early. The Dark Ages are commencing now, April 2023. 😖

[@SteGreenall]

I can't believe it has taken me so long to find this. impeccable :-)

[@peggs1]

Amazing. Many thanks for posting.

[@manuelvalbonesi6762]

Stormwatch e uno dei migliori dischi dei Jethro Tull!... insieme a tanti altri! 😅

[@Viznel137]

Jam OUT,Ian!LOL great stuff!I saw them in concert!they did this

[@ackthewack]

Great, very good, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@kevgamble]

Oh, how I would adore having a full/complete audio version of this version of Dark Ages, with John Glascock on bass and the much heavier groove than on record. It's almost like the same song but with the sound of the Heavy Horses album. Maybe there's some way it can find its way to the remaster, once they get to Stormwatch in that process.

[@Cpayne30]

Kevin Gamble - Hopefully Steven Wilson does Stormwatch and some of this stuff makes it on it.

[@gerrylafreniere8469]

Stormwatch 40th is coming out in october

[@justgivemethetruth]

The song at 1:40 that someone asked about is "Dark Ages" from the Stormwatch album. Great song.

[@yeailikeu]

Wow! Thank you Ben! This stuff is amazing!

[@hockeycoachbill]

Awesome stuff!

[@chellebadita]

love John Glascock so much 😢😢😢

[@matthewcannon9699]

4:38 Imagine trying to mix when there's a guy playing random flute lines right behind you!

[@barrywatson1147]

Oh, Barrie and John and Martin; Barrie and John and Martin...!

[@SamuelRoland]

Oh, Barrie and Martin and John, oh my!

[@BenRossington]

@meowandmeow Dark Ages fromo the album Stormwatch

[@ukecycle298]

"I think it needs something else there... probably James Galway or something..." Ha!

[@edrx000]

I have a poor copy of this on VHS. This quality is fantastic! Where did you get this?

[@booneswinehart5855]

whoops, dark ages are coming 2020.

[@ameloche82]

@meowandmeow Dark Ages

[@urbansocrates]

::Snort:: Hah!

[@KingHellstrings]

Martin's guitar tone is vicious in the studio here... it's a shame he changed it to generic 80's crap tone after Stormwatch.

[@JJKarpinski]

Same with No Lullaby in Heavy Horses.
