Jethro Tull Album Deep Dives #3: Benefit

[@superhandymanservice9413]

Hey Jeff, love your deep dives. Your historical documentation that you play along with the music is awesome. I don't know where you get it, but it's entertaining just to watch that.. I've seen your Sabbath, deep dives and Jethro Tull and a couple others. I'm a huge fan of both and have seen both bands many times over the years. Looking forward to watching some of your other presentations.

Thank you brother! I am no JT expert but I have learned a lot already.

Fantastic album Jeff been into Tull since 1971 seen them 26 times

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

Wow! That’s devotion. I have to this point been a marginal fan but this series has definitely given me a greater appreciation of their music.

A great review of a great album . Benefit has always been one of my favourites of the early albums . It has a lot of variety , and as you said , it has a lot of riffs and guitar . And I like the song Sossity You're a Woman as well . One of the things that I've always liked about them is their mixture of acoustic and electric rock , and they always seem to get a good balance of the two sides to their music . Thanks for the excellent video !!

Thank you John! 😃

Very good album . It's a crime that their best song at the time was out only as an EP : "WItch's promise" , "Teacher" was the B side. I came to knew JT by the EP as a little kid aged of 6 (in 1970) and love it, listen to Benefit 12 years after (both were my uncle's) and loved it .

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

I prefer the version of Benefit with Teacher. Elevates the album for sure.

Hey Jeff, well worth the wait👍🏻 I’ve always been a Jethro Tull fan, but watching their history is giving me insight to them as a band. I always wondered why they changed Bass players, that over parting can be detrimental. ☹️ lookin forward to Aqualung!🙂

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

Thank you! I am learning a lot about the band as well. The only member I knew anything about before starting the series was Ian Anderson.

Hi Jeff!!! I know nothing about this album, never heard it before..... a very cool way to learn about the songs and the evolution the band had from their first to this much heavier guitar sound album. Cheers and be well

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

Thanks Cristian! It definitely is a transitional album pointing the way toward Aqualung and Thick as a Brick. Cheers!

I can hear the cat sevens vibe

Definitely!
