Jethro Tull - Live at Tampa Stadium 1976

Close-Ups from the Video-Screens of the live Performance of Jethro Tull at the Tampa Stadium in Florida/USA from 1976. Rare Live Footage (Good Quality)
Do not be surprised about the close-ups. Coming from the video walls next to the stage, this video is not a standard video recording of a Jethro Tull concert, but these recordings are a priceless contemporary document of one of the most fantastic live bands of our century. so be thankful ... like me ... !!

I was too and I didn’t want to go because it was so hot and while we always found great seats and enjoyed the acoustics we never expected to actually see it, No one was aware of what was going to happen because we’d never seen a jumbo screen before. It’s so normal now but I still remember the rush when Ian Anderson who looked about 2 inches tall came walking out and we all realized what was happening. I’m so glad we went. It’s still one of the best concerts ever and I was fortunate to have seen many. And finding it on KZbin was/is awesome!!!

I saw the 25th anniversary tour and was a bit disappointed. The song I wanted to hear the most was 'Teacher' and I couldn't believe they didn't do it. Ian then fluted 'Cross eyed Mary' instead of singing it and the replacement drummer really screwed up major drum parts of 'Aqualung'. The only real props they had was a clothesline w 4 pieces of clothes on it. This was in Anaheim. Very Disappointed 😞.

[@varsity1980]

Ian Anderson is arguably the greatest poet, singer songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist to ever appear before a paying audience, and he has done so over 4k times in over 40 countries. Ian Anderson has written over 90% of the notes and lyrics, he has hired and fired every band member and special guest. Ian Anderson has had final say over every finished product album after album, he has negotiated every record deal, he has signed every contract to go on tour. Ian Anderson has directed every rehearsal and presided over every soundcheck. Ian Anderson writes and performs music with as high a degree of difficulty as anybody ever in the music business and he has done it all while standing on one leg and making it look easy when we all know it isn't.

Ian Anderson walked out under the big screen that no one had ever seen before, and said " Welcome to Tullavision." The stadium went NUTS!!

[@peabarter_3074]

Jethro Tull is such an amazing rock group. Ian is the ultimate showman on stage. The people in the first 10 rows certainly got their moneys worth.

[@joyflavell7385]

Actually that was the first time we ever saw a jumbo screen and it was mind blowing lol. I wish my kids and grandkids could really understand just how psyched we were. What a showman he is and an amazing musician. Wow just can’t begin to do him justice 😎☮️💖💙💙

John Glascock was an outstanding bass player. Rest in Peace!

[@popo-san8238]

John Gee!

[@scott25624]

excellent tone.

[@mzammit65]

As said by Ritchie blackmore, he was the best in the business. RIP.

[@leechild4655]

He was like John Bonham, like a machine. Where everyone would miss a note or a beat sometime, he never did.

[@WhySoLoud]

And they put him in what, four quick shots. Shame on the production crew.

[@ushrit]

so good, so full of nostalgic associations from my youth... it brings tears to my eyes.

[@rockygraziano2339]

The way they went into cry you a song is just pure magic !!!!!

[@dougpotosky4102]

And Tull is still not in the R&R Hall of Fame. Please weld iron locks on the doors! They do not deserve to be in business. Until Jethro Tull walks through the front door! With a red carpet. Robert Plant! You know how special this music is. Please do something!

[@judymarren7148]

Dolly and Beyonce? IDK how that could happen and Tull is treated like a red haired stepchild! Shame on them and their "authority" to determine the best of Rock!

[@mirekkonieczny419]

the cooperation of musicians in complex instrumental parts is simply great!

[@shakesintexas]

I went to this show with a carload of friends from Apollo Beach across the bay. This was a fun night for all. An outstanding show. Thanks for the memories.

[@craigkowald3055]

Saw them at Lakeland Civic Center in 79. I was blown away by how loud they were, considering the records seemed to be mostly Celtic folk. Great show!

[@Thadmotor1044]

jammin Jethro Tull style . Tight , as a tick , melodic and yet power to spare . Martin was and is very underrated . Jethro Tull brilliantly stands the test of time

[@dancha1593]

To Cry You A Song/ A New Day Yesterday / God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Only JT can pull off a Christmas tune in the middle of a rock show. When I listen to JT, so do my neighbors. Thank you JT.

[@billbullington7454]

What an absolute amazing band! Such timing of so many different sounds and instruments. I saw them 6 times growing up back in the 70s. Rock n roll at it's best. Pure delight. Ian Anderson more than a genius... He's a rare wonder to songwriting! (I'm still totally amazed)!

[@dannylowe8932]

Damn, they were fantastic live! I saw them on the Too old to rock n roll too young to die tour in Indianapolis they blew my mind. Ian was so sexy and a true genius. This band does not get the love they should! They always gave their best. Peace and be good to each other.

[@reada4488]

Only interesting thing to happen in this town in 40 years

[@paulbooth1373]

Jethro Tull at their absolute best!

[@schachforderunge.v.6501]

saw them twice in the 2000 er , of course this was not so perfect, but still wonderful

[@clayoreilly4553]

What a great, great concert. These guys were truly professionals and they all worked together to put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. A band of Medieval Minstrels at the top of their game. Amazing! I had never seen them in concert before and I am truly amazed.

[@barbarakretson4140]

Yes

[@stevehessburg8263]

I saw JT for the 1st time when "brick" was released in 1972. What a time in history. I was 21,life was good,and this concert was amazing. The band came out and ripped thru the entire "brick"LP- start to finish. Saw Martin and the boys 10 times after that,and always left well satisfied. Great band!

[@kenbauer4895]

I was there, remember Ian Anderson coming on stage with a baby carriage to play To Old to Rock and Roll, To Young to Die. If I remember, the concert was the first to use the large screen.

[@LaWandaJane]

I loved Jethro Tull when I was a teenager , Still listening now, quiet an Entertainer

[@ogrebattle22763]

I felt in the mood for a little flash back in time once again... a little Jethro Tull if you will.... a flash back to a time once again when music was music.... the 70's were a great time for music indeed....

[@stephanieannstevens8131]

Was so privileged to see this legend in concert.Jethro Tull an incredible band front man Ian Anderson mythical magical.Helped me to be a better professional musician on the flute and keyboards. Beyond awesome!

[@davejohnston5158]

Saw them at Manchester Opera House during this time. What a great band and musicians. Ian Anderson was a totally convincing frontman. Their contribution to Folk Rock Jazz Blues is still vastly underrated.

[@ronjohnson7479]

i was there,still listening and getting tingles at 65,majestic.

[@johnciani5465]

I was 16 years old at this concert with my uncle and two of his buddies. Remember being just juiced about the music. Great show

[@perryvath7617]

Holy crap. I was there... so this is what i should have remembered.

[@jamesmack3314]

It's ok,you were probably wasted!!

[@jameswatson5011]

Yeah no shit! I don't remember half the Broadsword and the Beast concert I went too.

[@patrick5838]

@@jameswatson5011 I went to several Tull shows during the 70s and 80s. True story: on one of their tours, pretty sure the War Child tour, they were so big that the San Diego paper did a big Page 2 review of the show the night before, mentioned all the drugs, and quoted a guy saying "what's a Tull show without acid?". For some reason I have always remembered that.

[@joyflavell7385]

I was too and was blown away when we suddenly realized we could see them!! I'm not sure what I was higher on but 70,000 were caught in the spell they wove. I can't believe I stumbled onto this!

[@dmoura54]

Ha ha ha I know what you mean. Well said.

[@Gk2003m]

Best lineup that band ever had. Killed it at every level. They brought not only precision (which many iterations of Tull had, especially later) but dazzling skill and intensity and ‘heavy’ness. They were not a metal band, but they sure could out-heavy most of ‘em.

[@robertclayton2925]

Absolutely amazing guys 💗🎵🎵🎶

[@GratefulJim49]

I saw the Thick as a Brick and Passion Play shows in the early 70s. Ian Anderson is one of the greatest performers I've ever seen. The band was incredible as well.
