I was fortunate to see Tull in Richmond in 1973. While I always loved "Aqualung" and "Cross-eyed Mary," this was always my favorite Tull song. I think it's one of the greatest rock songs of all-time. You did a great job playing and singing it. I wasn't going to listen to the analysis because I usually don't like that stuff, but yours was good.

I'm 66 now and some friends & I attended a Tull concert and man we were blown away with the awesomeness of the live performance. I'll cherish the memory of seeing Jethro Tull for the rest of my life. I was 15 at the time & the performer's made a lasting impression on me. I've heard other's play an abbreviated version using what I refer to as cowboy chords which is fine "but" doing such is kinda like getting the old woman almost into the goal but just shy of making the goal. I've heard people say well, if you was playing horse shoes at least you got close. I think not. If ya ain't got no wind the boat ain't gonna sail. You Sire captured the essence that Mr Anderson meant the piece to be delivered. You got the old girl to bucking & made the goal. Yes sir your the winner. That was masterful, fulfilling exactly as intended.👍. I think I'm going to subscribe. 😎

I have a feeling this was the song that IA wrote in a particular American hotel room, which he wanted to be booked into again on a subsequent tour (the room must have had ‘good writing vibes’), only to be told that the hotel in question was now off limits to rock bands as so many of them had trashed it.

Stewart, your introductions and epilogues are well though out, even for one of Tulls more obiquitous tunes. I wouldn't have considered it not possible on an acoustic guitar and have it sound the way that you did. Also, I would mention, as much as a Tull fanatic that I am, I was one of those that overlooked "A Passion Play" for too long. I say that because I thought it was a mess compared to the rest. Revisiting it decades later I'm finding that it truely is a masterpiece.

Great stuff. Also worth noting that the Bass plays the fifth against the opening E's of each riff. The song was not played at Tull's gig at Eridge Park in May 2005 due to time constraints, which was fine with me, as I've heard it nintey six million times.

Another typically great video and performance, thank you! I've always loved John Evan's brilliant contributions to Tull. It struck me while recently listening to the Thick as a Brick album for the "gazzillionth" time in my Tull fan career, that so much of the greatness of it (my favorite), is owed to him. If you don't mind, "lend me your ear" while I …ask you a question: What are all the pieces of music John Evan plays/references in "By Kind Permission Of"? I believe I've correctly picked out Beethoven Piano Sonata #8 "Pathetique" 1st movement, Rachmaninov Morceaux de Fantaisae -No. 2 Prelude in C Sharp minor, and Debussy's Children's Corner -Golliwog's Cake Walk. If you know, what if any pieces have I missed? Thank you. Also was about to ask if you've heard Ian saying Loco is about overpopulation, but you covered that too! Hope you and family had a very merry Christmas and I wish you a very Happy new year to come. Cheers from the Hudson Valley, NY USA. Yours in Jethro Tull, Bob

Stewart, I have never believed it when Ian said that this song was about population growth. It's really about what you were saying. I don't know why he went along with that population growth story. Maybe he thought it sounded better, or more intellectual. I'm not sure, but I don't believe it for 1 second. And I think your first explanation hit the nail right on the head. The lyrics and the music tell the story and it's not a story of population growth. It's exactly what you said. I've always believed that, and now that you've said it as well, It makes me believe it even more.
