Jethro Tull - To Be Sad Is A Mad Way To Be + Back To The Family - Stockholm January 9, 1969

[@deniscarolin4087]

Glen Cornick was one of the best bass players-ever. The stuff he laid down was so hard, certainly of the highest quality. Miss you, man.

[@camronbay1]

Mean ass bass tone.

[@ritabosch360]

Love these guys back in 68!!!! Still love this insane music Ian, Glenn Clive and Martin rocked the real world on its side. Seing them live 5 times was just crazy. Ian I love you. !!!!❤️ 🪈🪈🪈🪈🪈🪈🪈🪈

Wow! Amazing footage and audio of an incredible band poised fior greatness. I hate that it's taken me this long to find this really early stuff, but I love that I have!

[@MarkTyler-pu3jv]

My favourite piece from their blues period. Old by the time he was 21, the voice of a 45 year old already then. Fantastic

[@schiaa7340]

Back to the family. One of my favorites

Glenn Cornick..RIP

[@civictull]

Quando l'eccellenza del rock incontra artisti del genere non poteva nascere che un gruppo spettacolare e geniale come i Jethro Tull.

[@sinusiridum551]

Spero che vorrai concordare con me : i " veri " Jethro Tull,strabilianti,originali,ammalianti live in concert sono quelli del periodo 1969 - 1973 ( ho assistito ad alcuni concerti nel 1972 e 1973).Tuttavia,dopo il tour dell'estate/autunno 1973 ove proponevano Passion Play ( ultimo capolavoro)a mio parere la magia si esauri'.Nulla sara' piu come prima,anche per gli album in studio...

[@civictull]

@@sinusiridum551 Devo darti pienamente ragione, dopo quel periodo hanno provato varie influenze rock senza grande successo, ma sarai d'accordo con me che la genialità di un grande artista come Ian Anderson non la si potrà vedere più in qualsiasi altro.

[@sinusiridum551]

@@civictull concordo pienamente! Aggiungo: considero scandaloso che, relativamente al biennio 1972-1973 ove erano strepitosi ed al culmine della loro bravura in concerto,NON esista qualche album ufficiale dal vivo !! Il live del 1978 mi dice nulla a confronto . Peccato mortale della discografia mondiale!

[@civictull]

@@sinusiridum551 Verissimo se avessero inciso un album in quel periodo migliore sarebbe stato sicuramente uno dei migliori della storia del rock dal vivo. Effettivamente quello del 78 Burning out io ce l'ho, ma ormai non erano più quelli degli anni migliori.

[@BobC59]

I must interject, however, that rising stars tend to shine brightest upon rising, however, Ian Anderson’s light has shown brightly for over half a century. Ups and downs of course, but his creativity and energy have never, ever waned. He is, and will always be, in my opinion, THE Renaissance man of modern music!

[@nicoladelucia4827]

Glenn sei il più grande bassista!!

Martin is brand new with Tull here.

As a local patriot, University of Uppsala, Sweden. In the year i was born, 1967.

[@hammer44head]

I don't think Tull ever had any illusions of being another white "blues" band from England, it was a base to start from and get their real music heard. Blues music was red hot at the time in England with the great Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac leading the way. Tull played blues and played it pretty good but their heart was in playing their own creative music.

Looks to me like Martin Barre on guitar so it would be the second line up. Besides, Back to the Family was on the Stand Up album which was released after Abrahmans left.

Ian Anderson didn't want Jethro Tull to be a blues band. That's why Mick Abrams left. I wonder how much greater they would have become.

The bluesy Tull - Every bit as good as Hard rock /Prog/Folk rock Tull . Who is playing the lead guitar- Barre or Abrahams?

[@carlolf]

This here is Martin Barre.

[@ragglepuss]

It's David O'List

[@nicksmart5469]

This must be one of Martin barres first gigs as Tony iommi was at the rock n roll circus only a month earlier! Not taking anything away from mr barre but imagine a parallel universe if Tony had stayed and both sabbath and Tull had gone on separate paths ? What would the future of rock been like ? 😂

[@keeff8195]

I think that was tony iommi`s only performance with tull.

[@pip12111]

That's not Tony Iommi. He's playing right handed. Nor is it Martin Barre. That's Mick Abrahams

[@nicksmart5469]

@@pip12111 as the performance is after the rock n roll circus I would’ve thought it to be Martin as the order goes Abrahams iommi barre. And as iommi was December 1968 . Either that or they’ve got the dates wrong

@@pip12111 Nope, it's Barre.

Extraordinary footage - lots of debate here about who's on guitar - 100% it's ex-Nice guitarist David O'List. Knew he'd tried out for the job but not that he'd gigged with Tull - here's proof. He sounds great here as do whole band, but Davy never that robust by all accounts and Ian a famously hard taskmaster so not meant to be.....great to see though.
