[@Eleventhearlofmars]

This period of Tull was just magical, the songwriting, the subjectivity and clever lyrics and wordplay is just the best. Their output from 1970 through to 1982 was amazing but 76-79 was just off the scale. Beautiful, and thanks Ian and the rest for making some memorable albums.

[@randywilliams5754]

Agree

[@progrockjournal]

I love also the first period, before 1970

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@progrockjournal of course.

[@seansullivan5965]

Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. . . Just wow

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@seansullivan5965 I actually love the too old to R&R album as well which isn’t mentioned much when people discuss Tulls best work. I love it especially some of the gentler folky songs on that album like from a dead beat to an old greaser and the 🏁 chequered flag. Songs from the wood just blows me away as well.

[@saytamaner]

Best years with Barre, Evan, Palmer, Glascock and Barlow. 💕

[@randywilliams5754]

What a line up

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

That is the best line up in the history of the band in my opinion. They all added a little bit extra on to Ian’s magical talent.

[@ricklochead1032]

That's a big 10/4!!

[@PaulaFreemanCiskowski]

I saw Tull on this 77 tour, I was 17. It was one of the most memorable concerts of my life.

[@Torch4Life]

Me too, I was 15

[@lestupidshoes]

My first rock concert was Tull in '75, Salt Lake City. I was 15 and It was amazing.

[@randywilliams5754]

Me too Florida

[@drtonyrotherham2904]

Jethro Tull. Been a fan since I first heard them back in the early 70's. Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses being my favourite albums. Seen the band at least a dozen times. Best prog rock band around. Always will be.

[@mpwoodru]

I think of all bands that I'm too young to have seen in their prime, Jethro Tull has to be the one I regret missing the most. Ian A. had one of the best voices of all time IMO and he sounds SO GREAT in these 70s concerts. Nobody else sounds this good live. No one comes close to sounding like they do on a record like IA. Amazing.

[@garyluchansky2674]

Ian is a wonderful singer and flutist and a marvelous frontman, my all time favorite!❤❤❤

[@meetontheledge]

The best band in the known universe and probably even is some of the others. The genius of Mr Anderson knows no border.

[@ChristianYunes]

Just fantastic! The best voice in Rock world, for me. And the big talent.

[@katwitanruna]

Songs from the Woods was the first Jethro Tull album I ever heard and bought.

[@nomdeplume2724]

Me too💥

[@nomdeplume2724]

Having a listen right now!💥💥💥💥💥🤓

[@katwitanruna]

@@nomdeplume2724 they’re one of my favorite groups. Before I became disabled I used to clean house to Heavy Horses because of my bff and I cleaning her place to it.

[@Gravyballs2011]

My favorite Tull era. That band could do anything!

[@monatoney3474]

MY HERO. HAVE SEEN HIM 5 TIMES. EACH TIME MORE AMAZING THAN THE LAST 😅😅

[@robinblackmoor8732]

HERO? I lost track after show 200.

[@evolving607]

That must've been so magical! I would've loved too see him live with my mother ! We would be dancing , crying, laughing, and singing

[@AlexaLake1]

I just love everything Tull did.

[@bibbisblockhouse9521]

A Genius!

[@stimpsonjcat67]

"Jack do you never sleep?" I love that lyric so much.

[@amberalexandrabayleycooke212]

Great, timeless song! 💚💚💚💚💚💚 Love and appreciation from Italy 🇮🇹🙋🏻‍♀️❗ Itullians we are! ✨🎶✨

[@monicadriscoll645]

Jethro Tull, Yes and ELP have to be the absolute BEST the 70's gave us in music 🎶 genius 🎉

[@jackieanderson74]

Love this lineup for Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, so handsome and his red hat

[@patmayer7222]

,,,,thank you JETHRO TULL for a lifetime of music , S.F.T.W. fave.

[@kimmcglen-bull5661]

Me too!

[@chas2599]

Magic. Pure

[@user-xt8km1dh4q]

The album that introduced me to Jethro Tull in the late 80's, and made me a life-long fan. Love this song.

[@sergeybelogor9645]

Гений, каких мало.

[@rdhunkins]

Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses, and Broadsword and the Beast are my favorite Tull Albums.

[@anthonystoakley8287]

Ian is a national treasure

[@gerlindevangerpen8501]

I'ved been growed up with Tull, they are the best ever

[@icu469]

Songs from the wood & Thick as a brick are among my all time favorite records. Back in the late 70's I'd listen to these over and over every day along with Cat Stevens Tea for the tillerman

[@bugeanuflorin1531]

Absolutely ♥️, masterpiece, magical voice. Thanks for posting. Good time forever young.

[@jamesmarquez9026]

Just beautiful. ❤

[@anthonyglaser929]

excellent. That is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums, but I don't think I've ever seen it live. Of all the Tull albums "Songs from the woods" and "Heavy Horses" still remain my two favs followed by Stand Up and This was.

[@CarlosmanuelChavezayuso-gi5qy]

BEAUTIFUL SONG IAN CONGRATS GREAT'S TALENT'S FLUTE, GUITAR, JETHRO TULL FOLLOWING AT 70s - 2024. GREAT'S 👋

[@Calumetto]

JT songs fit my range. I've been singing along since I had my first 8-track player. I'm thankful for such a great ride.

[@helkas3316]

Would love to hear "The Whistler" and "Velvet Green" and the rest of Songs From The Wood." Fortunately, l have the album, the CD, the cassette, lol.

[@kevgamble]

They did perform Velvet Green at this show. I don't believe it's on this channel yet but is elsewhere. I first heard this live version as included in their '20 Years of Jethro Tull' box set, and then bought a DVD of this show years later. That performance of Velvet Green is my favorite rendition of any song, by anyone, ever, live or studio. It's my one desert-island song.

[@helkas3316]

@kevgamble I totally get that. Such a beautiful song.

[@jethro377]

@@kevgamble Velvet Green is also my favorite song of all time and the performance of it during this show is amazing!

[@randywilliams5754]

Agree great when they were allllll together ❤

[@stretch753]

Have you not listened to "Bursting Out?" Ian himself said, "they are plural, plural." In this case, he is singing about a single Jack.

[@chas2599]

Fantastic

[@MinstrelInTheGallery]

Absolutely amazing!

[@kimmcglen-bull5661]

Songs from the Wood is my go to album when I feel down..it lifts my spirits...always has done..every track is beautiful..."Have you seen the Jack in the Green" reminding us all on gloomy winter's days that Jack will be sending Spring. Thank you Tull..loved your music most of my life..❤❤❤

[@milanbrankovic3117]

Neprevaziđen, neponovljiv! Pozdrav iz Vojvodine...

[@Nick-13]

Superb - Songs from the Wood at Hammersmith Apollo was the first JT concert I experienced - have enjoyed just about every tour since. Wonderful

[@robinblackmoor8732]

If I recall correctly I saw Jethro Tull in November of 1977 in New Haven, Connecticut. Later in the same year as this

[@katyamaria3121]

Amo vcs❤

[@johngleason9407]

When I was 11 years old I heard the Cream version of Crossroads on a jukebox and my brain was rearranged to the point a year later I bought my first bass. I’m now 65 and still playing and recording and it’s all because of Jack Bruce 🤪

[@tassieblues]

Not sure of the connection to Jethro Tull but glad you had many years of playing enjoyment.

This song and the entire album, has something idk but shortly after I began to learn the lyrics and revel in SFTW....I started seeing Druids etc no joke. There's something here.

[@DracoVid]

Fav album Songs of the Wood

[@13458073]

Uma das maiores bandas de todos os tempos e uma das minhas bandas preferidas. De 1968 a 1979 fizeram grandes discos, depois já não sei dizer porque conheço pouco.

[@pacosteven1914]

Afortunadamente tengo este álbum en LP vinil, song from the wood al igual que otros más 👍 🎸🎼🎵.

[@korndog87]

ell i'm a common working man With a half of bitter -- bread and jam And if it pleases me i'll put one on you man -- When the copper fades away..........................................ripper of a line BLOODY RIPPER!!!.....ps i mean the whole bloody album is a masterpiece but that line just GETS ME everytime!! soz for commenting this here you cant comment the song ahahahah

[@brunospera9962]

Sono unici oggigiorno non si trovano più di questa bravura

[@corawheeler9355]

Only "Jack in the green"? It's so short. Next on SFTW is "Cup of wonder" ++ Please

[@samuelecallegari6117]

They're uploading a concert. It's not the same set list of the album

[@myheart398]

❤

[@dahliagovan]

💚

[@rudimuller277]

👍👍👍

[@stevestruthers6180]

It's hard to believe Ian Anderson was just 29 when this performance was recorded, and just shy of turning 30. For some reason, he seems to be a bit older than his age here. Maybe the demands of touring aged him a little bit.

[@juaqui7565]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉😉👍👍❤❤

[@samuelecallegari6117]

Jethro Tull are the band the mostly I associate with the imagery of Tolkien or DnD. Ian's descriptive writing style is very similar to Tolkien's style

[@vladstroescu]

GeeAck iN thE grEeN

[@jeffwirick6099]

Jethro Tull needs no short clips ladies and germs

[@jeffwirick6099]

I believe it ..duh:))

[@jeffwirick6099]

His timing is impeccable. What a great Artist 🎨 God Bless

[@jeffwirick6099]

BTW. I live for serendipity...fyi...

[@karlheinzzahneissen4329]

Jaja, die "Songs From The Wood"-Tour hab' ich damals auch live miterlebt. John Glascock war ein Tier. Das war anderes Theater als das, was Anderson momentan abliefert ... :-/

[@stretch753]

Jacks in the Greens. They are plural.

[@robertwilken8745]

This is posted by Jethro Tull. You don't think he knows the title spelling of his own song? It's Jack-In-The-Green. Look it up if you don't believe.

[@christopherjavens3438]

My Lord, my grangmother told me about Jack In The Green
