Jethro Tull - Life is a Long Song - Under Wraps II - Nursie - Live 1992

[@bigearsism]

Tull taught me so much: I was mixing the sound on this tour and also recording it for the 'Little Light Music' album. So good to hear / see it again :-)

[@fcamiola]

That's amazing! I didn't see the tour but I LOVE the album. Great mix, super clean recording with a lot of soul. Congrats. Tull is my favourite band (along with Cardiacs and Zappa). Cheers mate.

[@jaydenn1680]

One of my favorite Tull albums... Thank you!!!

[@stevekaspar1396]

Awesome.. incredible

[@randywilliams7281]

This is by far my fave album and tour. I listen to this album every month. I’ve turned many people on to Tull because of this album

[@gauravdubey3071]

That’s one of my favorite Tull live albums - and Under Wraps probably my favorite track off it.

[@757flyer]

I Saw Tull in 1972, 1974, & 1975. What spectacular shows. The level of musicianship was breathtaking. I still have the photos I took!

[@Jchathe]

I love it when musicians just PLAY - no fancy gizmos or heavy beats, just pure, unadulterated sounds, enjoying what they are creating. My kind of music ♥

[@wadecooler7496]

Tull is simply the best. Ever.

[@leerandal2169]

Out of over 100 concerts I've attended in my lifetime, Jethro Tull, backed by Uriah Heep - Boston MA 1978 - was my favorite!

[@robertparisi8016]

I was there! Easy living by Uriah, Ian did a new day yesterday off the stand up album, boston garden off of storrow drive. We're still alive and remembering! Peace

[@surfcollector]

It's a bummer we'll never see a Tull show again, as we knew them. So much music poured out of this band in all it's variations. I feel bad for the people that never "got it."

[@tixximmi]

In '71 I got into two composers, A to Z, Anderson and Zappa. Haven't left since.

[@tixximmi1]

You need an "M". Right in the middle. You'd enjoy Neal Morse.

[@adolforodolfo6929]

The Under Wraps arrangement is wonderful - and a reminder that there is a lot of good music on that album - I think it's just the drum machine and synths that turned people off. I grew to love it and still do.

[@lo.sweets]

To my new high school friend after 47 years I love you

[@v.stanleisenring8882]

One incredibly talented dude! Always great respect for Ian!

[@lfcforever67]

Beautiful song real music talent

[@rebeccakfinley4832]

Flute is FABULOUS!

[@rebeccakfinley4832]

Guitar's pretty good, too!

[@stagehand9002]

To me he's rock's most articulate original acoustic player. Sittin on my porch with my guitar trying to figure that shoit out and then watching him is definitely 2 different things haha...

[@stevekaspar1396]

4 bands mean the most to me.. The Beatles.. Led Zeppelin.. Jimi Hendrix Experience and Jethro Tull...

[@patrickport99]

Yeah Ian you´re so damned right: Life´s a long song, but for certain not every song is a hit, that´s the problem-sometimes....how lucky we can be that we live in your age mr.anderson :-)

[@cpollero53]

That's some guitar playing

[@steelydrwu]

Life hits you with a lot of crap, we just listen to the Music and keep truckin'.

[@eduardocarreirodacruz8021]

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull .... The BEST

[@jtchristiank1]

Martin is crazy insane tallented.

[@randywilliams7281]

My fave Tull tour and album! I listen to A Little Light Music monthly. I love the diversity in the albums they pulled from on this tour and the acoustics are just amazing

[@thisistheworldtoday]

Such a beautiful melody... great lyrics... hard to find this song by them on you tube other than a very early 1971 promo film and later years like this one... it’s one of my favorites

[@Mykuhcyde]

I have an audio bootleg of this show titled "When Minstrels Came to Play". Awesome to see the video!

[@MrMagusperde]

Yes Beautiful

[@kathmandoo]

Well congratulations. I LOVE Tull. So underestimated. I know they were so fussy about the sound being perfect al\ways insisting on best equipment and engineers so you must be a great engineer. Well done - you must be proud to have worked with such a great band. What were they like as people???. Anderson stikes me a s a genious with deep feelings. I wish you were around to mix my bands over 30 yrs. Always a problem and so much in your hands

[@3moonriver]

@decapitatespammers Totally agree - saw Tull a couple of years ago, Ian is totally grounded but the man's talent is quite unique - he's awesome. The audience obviously contained a large amount of life long fans, some of whom knew each other and the band, so it was like being within a huge group of friends.

[@deborahchelli6131]

Grandiosi❤

[@had953]

On my bucket list I would like to include "Nursie", "Wond'ring Aloud" & "Locomotive Breath"........Heaven!!

[@marvymarier8988]

Try "wondering aloud again" you won't be sorry !

[@stevebagnall1553]

My favourites as well.

[@stevenhaywood6027]

Love a"Little Light Music"". And "Under Wraps" as well. It is a pity Ian's voice was not what it had been live by this time but the band had never sounded better. sttgaegoaktd

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

Ian was "WAY" to thin back in 1992' 0n this tour !!! 😳 "My God" Man, eat some Cheeseburgers 🍔🍔, see what I did there ! 😁

[@KingHellstrings]

According to the Ministry of Information website, this version of Nursie is supposed to be the one that's on A Little Light Music, but it sounds nothing like it!

[@mropus1014]

Why Ian why? Why part from Martin?? You two were the best pair in all of rock music. It’s never been the same since. It lost all its magic. 😢

[@williamhallard4787]

10/10

[@Mykuhcyde]

@KingHellstrings You're right... Live albums that are "polished" in the studio later end up with mysteries like these. Have you noticed that two songs(Under Wraps and John Barleycorn) were mixed from two nights of recording? If you listen to John Barleycorn really closely, there is a hint of a second electric guitar that seems like its not supposed to be there.

[@SergejPels]

Руки в верх !!!!!

[@MyVeryHappyDay]

Oops. Lyric mistake at 2:04.

[@biserkasertic1208]

I'm reading comments just to see if anybody notice it! "...and 12 o'clock...(ooops!)... simphony sound" 😜

[@michaelmclarney1994]

In ny opinion, this version of Under Wraps was the only decent track on the album! Harsh, I know, but just my opinion. Thanks for uploading this wonderful piece of treasure from the past 👍

[@rebeccakfinley5714]

There are 2 ppl that DON'T like this???? Go somewhere else

[@ALIGHAZI]

عالی

[@rebeccakfinley5714]

Does anyone else remember when he toured in a wheelchair bcoz he had DVT??

[@jethrodassam]

Yes, I have that bootleg on vhs

[@jaydenn1680]

Yes, I do... One of the best concerts I saw of them...

[@thenavajoknow]

Funny, to me Under Wraps was the last classic Tull album in terms of song writing and lyrical approach, never mind the flat synthiness of the production. I never warmed to the later work, except for the occasional tune (Root to Branches, say).

[@hpeter0425]

h.peter0425 thanks from BR

[@fluffydragonslayer3688]

he just fuckign, pulled out a flute

[@matteonapolitano8392]

For a moment there I thought it was Mick Fleetwood

[@mikesimonian990]

Matteo Napolitano Mick is like 8 ft tall

[@marvymarier8988]

It's a shame Ian Anderson disbanded Jethro Tull he got rid of Martin Barre that's a bad mistake

[@jeckobandit69]

Lots of mistakes, wrong lyrics but stil wonderful songs from a wonderful band

[@MrCrazyc52]

Thought I was the only one that noticed As I was singing along to LALS

[@rebeccakfinley4832]

STUPID ads!!!!

[@v.stanleisenring8882]

Great song, totally burnt vocal chords, here. SAD! Such a low key,and he can barely squeak it out! Great band line up, here! That's why singers should not smoke like a chimney!

[@marvymarier8988]

Ian Anderson doesn't smoke he blames the smoke machine for his COPD
