Jethro Tull - Live '84 The Capital Theater, Passaic, NJ (Better Edits)

[@thomasmillet1052]

I saw Tull 3 times starting in 1978 at the Boston Gardens. Ian Anderson was Amazing in concert. He would run towards the front of stage, jump down and slide on his upper ankles to the edge of the stage where fans could reach out and touch him while he was playing his flute. He would spin his flute around and throw it into the air spinning like a baton, catch it, and resume playing it in the middle of songs. The music he was able to make come out of that instrument was with unprecedented innovation. The whole band was amazing in concert they were so tight it was as if you were in the recording studio. They are the most memorable concerts I have ever been to. Finally, the arrangement of the music is genius, to this day I still listen to Tull on a daily basis.

[@arthurhunt642]

All day Every day. I missed out ever seeing him in concert 😭!

Well said! I saw JT in ‘72. They played the Thick as a Brick album start to finish. I’ve been to a lot of great rock concerts (Hendrix, CSNY, Eagles, Zappa, BB King, Allman Brothers, the Beatles, etc.) but that Tull concert was the best. I regret seeing them only once.

I've seen JT live 4 times & each time they were more impressive than the last time. Ian Anderson has ONLY THE BEST musicians working with him. Tull are absolutely AMAZING live. Anderson in my opinion is one of the best songwriters in the business.

Under wraps is so under-appreciated, totally can hold up to Jethro’s 70s albums. What an epic concert

[@bryede]

I totally get it that if you grew up on classic Tull, Under Wraps would seem out of place. But on its own, it's a very fun and well produced concept album, especially the trimmed down and more focused LP track list.

[@NuntiusLegis]

@@bryede I was blown away by the extra CD tracks and consider them the best on the album together with Saboteur.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Totally agree, all the songs are real winners on this album.

[@meyou-dv8ns]

That album sucks, lol. I mean it does. their worst album EVER !!! Every Album from 1968 to 1980 was great, the albums from 1981 to Crest Of a Knave. not so good BUT. always had like three great songs to them like, Black Sunday, Dark Ages, and others even his solo album had like three great songs like " Trains". Black and White Television and Step Into Light, then in 1990. just like Paul McCartney and other old bands they somehow got better again and started to pull out of that 1980's nightmare. but no matter what part of Jethro Tull you like. we all agree Ian Anderson was fucking INSAIN!!!!! The best ever, I know see that out of all the bands I like the beat Beatles, Kinks, ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa King Crimson and all the great 1950's people like Elvis C.Berry, Buddy Holly Carl Perkins and all the other greats, too many to mention , Jethro Tull is by far my favorite of them all. , I mean. Ian Anderson just never never never runs out of Ideas for music. always tapping into nothing that no other band, Rock band that is- Taps into to make his music fresh and not always the same, he takes from all and is a great student of new and very old music and puts it all together and puts on a great show all the time. as if he really cares, and he does. Just the Best ever. more so than all my other rock heroes. I'm just sayin

[@rodmaknouni]

@@meyou-dv8ns Ur wrong and that’s okay. If everyone was right then nothing would be right, everything would just be nothing. May you find truth in your journey through the perfect discography of Jethro Tull (check out Ian Anderson’s solo albums too)

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

This band was super tight, they were able to play anything, their improvisations on prog, jazz and classical are top notch. Dave Pegg , M. Barre, Doane Perry, Peter-John Vettese and Ian are at the top of their game.

[@goofe.washington953]

The whole band are at the VERY top of their game. This is an incredible performance.

[@shipsahoy1793]

All the guys that got fired over the years were really not slouches either in their heyday. IA always had the benefit of good musicians. Now if he (IA) only didn’t lose his voice, he’d be more legendary than he is already. And he was even more blessed by MB’s musical presence for 3 1/2 decades. Martin’s presence was the magic ingredient in the early days, since admirable electric guitar playing was a major draw back then for a rock band. With Ian (as always) writing good tunes, that was that, highly rated band..👨🏻

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

@@shipsahoy1793 Yes, the former musicians were also pretty good but i did not see them jamming and playing jazz and classical at the same level i see here. Martin Barre was at his best in this tour. Before, He was never able to play at the speed he achieved during the eigthies. Blame it on Peter Vettese for raising the bar during that period. Barre said that Peter was an extraordinary keyboard player and was always pushing the other players to play more, so there was some kind of a competition going on at the time.

[@shipsahoy1793]

@@RiquezaEmGotas You seem to be neglecting that the younger players of the 80s had the benefit of experiencing and being inspired by the players that came before then. At some point, for the older guys in the game, you may be more experienced, but you have to try harder to keep up with those behind you who are younger and still out to prove themselves.

I have no idea who they are because I’m not really a music fan and don’t follow that stuff. … But Tull isn’t an example of Americana, and Americana is what the Rock Hall should be about. It’s celebrating American music in an American institution, and I don’t really feel Tull really qualifies in that sense.

[@justgivemethetruth]

I think the reason people say this album never went over is that the rock scene was dying, giving way to BS disco, punk, all the other stuff. This is a great album, and Ian, at 37, has never been more energetic and powerful, and his music eeks out everyone bit of musicality from these tunes ... they are fantastic, and not to mention his voice is amazing. I think the last concert you can say that on. Listen to his range and he is all over the place. People complain about the drum machine or the artificial sound, but it is so freaking good ... I just feel like I want to explode when I hear this there is so much energy in the music. Love this album.

No Heavy Horses or Broadswoard ... or Minstrel also ? Hmm..😁😋 I love anyway.. like my childhood was a sunny. So that why I looked up for the reason of my pararels with It. Living In The Past, great impro ;)

[@magalyvargas-bx1vp]

Me fascina Jehtro Tull....caracas, Venezuela.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Argh .... Nobody's Car ( 17:44 ) is awesome .... listen to Martin's guitar ( 19:40 ) !

[@jublaim]

Yeah! there's so many great songs in here!

[@add2718]

Nobody's Car would make my list of top 80's Tull tunes for sure

[@-dugair]

​@@add2718 Absolutely! And add "Heat" to that list too!

[@justgivemethetruth]

12:50 - Ian scolds the spotlight guy! OOPS!

[@nealgoldstein4578]

This is great. Thank you.

[@yvonnelessick9880]

a very modern. Day version of acker Bilk. On the wind instruments. How intriguing and amazing

[@clarablanco3054]

Maravilloso👍😘 gracias por el que se olvida de este modo

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

Dave Pegg is a top level bassist and is never mentioned in best prog bassists lists.

[@NotThatOneThisOne]

He is astonishing good. Wouldn't expect to see him in a prog bassist list though since he rules folk electric bass.

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

@@NotThatOneThisOne Indeed

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

@@NotThatOneThisOne Right, but he could easily be in any Prog Rock band and be cited as a top bassist in any serious "best bassists" list.

[@justgivemethetruth]

The opening segment is so funny. When I saw this concert I seem to recall a big sheet like on the album cover?

[@gregputman]

A lot of Jethro Tull fans do not realize that the band that did THIS one tour was the most musically talented version of Jethro Tull ever. Peter-John Vettese was a cross between Eddie Jobson and Patrick Moraz. They were on another level. Sad they only lasted this one tour. I feel very fortunate to have seen this tour

[@rainblaze.]

That bass though 😯😀

[@sobellfanatic]

Vitesse was far better than he ever got credit for. I saw them on this tour - Hammersmith - and was amazed how well the UW songs translated live.

[@BrettOwen71]

You can hear that Ian is on the precipice of his catastrophic vocal blow out that would forever change his voice.

[@MolinaBolero]

This concert is awesome. Tampa must have been a hot place back then, when i look at Mister Anderson🥵😉

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

Their songs always sounded better live than on records, especially this album.

[@rameshn6960]

Great concert. ❤🎉

[@mikeday9548]

Big brother is watching...😊
