Brilliant , witty, dramatic! The full work played live. Ian with his youthful voice. Jeffery on bass. Martin with full growl and fearless. This is a great recording! The crowd response is so cool.....I'm almost back there! Thanks for posting this jewel!!

[@eribaldoyes3883]

Ian´s voice was as sweet as honey in this period. Simply the best voice.

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

Yes indeed- Ian, please stop smoking

What a shame no recording from the board. Actually that’s true for a lot of prime Tull years. I went to this in Philly. The band on fire. No real recording was made for years live. Early ones yes. But from Aqualung on??? How I wish. I’m glad these exits. I made tapes of bands. I did Tull in 77. Then Bursting out was released. Lol

I was at this show, one of my first. There used to be a video of this very tour on YT, with video as well as audio. Looks like they took that down....damn. As they took the stage, someone in the 2nd balcony tossed an M80, which fortunately went off in the air instead of in someone's lap. Anderson stepped to the mic and proclaimed, "Well, the IRA is joining us tonight". Just before the "News and Weather" segment, the echoes run amok into white noise, the lights go completely down. When the lights come back up, someone (Jeffrey?) steps out of a mock shower, reaches into the stall, and turns the "water" (the aforementioned white noise) off, and they proceed with the segment. Great stuff, and that show left its mark on me.

I have a video from the next night on YT called Jethro Tull video 1972-11-02 Boston

Marvelous! Even without image, it seems to me that all members of the band were having a great time playing this. The chemistry between them was really something.

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

Yes Tull at their peak

[@williambaldridge1203]

Great concert. I saw this show at the bayfront center in St Petersburg Florida in 1972. Listen to this took me back in time, thanks very much

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

Yes your concert was 2 days later

[@bornamerkas923]

Taab part 5!!! Omg what insane jamming

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

Yes the jam hit better and better as the tour went on

[@stevebuckley5004]

Looking forward to it poolside this afternoon! 👍 Thanks!

Thank you!!!

Nice🌷

Although much appreciated, this is most likely not from the November 1, 1972 Boston Garden show as based upon newspaper reviews of the show, the telephone call at the November 1 show was for "PC Constable Grimface" and not Mike Nelson. So, if this is indeed a TAAB show from Boston it would then be either the next night, November 2, or the earlier Boston TAAB show on May 12, 1972.

[@amedeeabreo7334]

Barrie Barlow ......OMG!

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

The best

[@stephenbrown7545]

Barlow is an amazing and unique player..like Martin he added much to Tull's sound.

[@oskarileikos]

@@stephenbrown7545 in my opinion, Barlow is, after Ian, the most important member of Tull. No drummer after him has been able to capture his magic (Mark Craney came close though).

[@nsbd90now]

This is NOT complete as they didn't play side 2 (Do you believe in the day?) It was never performed live until relatively recently when they performed it with TAAB2.

[@jethrotullcollection8446]

They did play a portion of side 2, but TAAB was already an hour long so maybe they decided to drop most of side 2

[@nsbd90now]

@@jethrotullcollection8446 Or too acoustic and soft. Ian has regularly complained about loud rock audiences and the more acoustic pieces even way back in the beginning.
