Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Sight And Sound In Concert: Jethro Tull Live, 19th Feb, 1977)

[@kathryntaylor7662]

Love it!!!!... I'm 65 and still love Jethro Tull and their amazing musical abilities. They've inspired me with music for many many years. Amazing musicians. Real musicians. The versility in what instruments they can play is outstanding. Absolutely love Jethro Tull with the Sympathy Orchestra... Absolutely Brilliant!!!!!

[@NSGca]

My friend I'm right behind you age wise. Ian Anderson ' Tull' was my third concert, my mother had to drive me lol. Bless her. Right after Tull I saw Zeppelin. Great memories. ✌️

[@jackiebushable]

70 here 👋❤️

[@kathryntaylor7662]

Also love Rick Wakeman and Yes.... Now they are musicians...!!! Read that Rick Wakeman is retiring from performing since 1971 when he started with Yes. Same era as Jethro Tull, and Ian Anderson. Brilliant musicians. Just Brilliant!!!!!

65 great Age, some how I made it 🙏🤠

[@Paul-b5i3m]

Tull was it definite part of my musical upbringing. I am classically trained with a bachelors degree in music keyboard concentration. Add them to my musical education was a real plus. I remembered thinking even back that absolutely unique and exciting compositions were. Of course the antics of Ian always put smiles on my face and joy in my heart. I had a very eclectic set of albums of many different musicians, and Jethro Tull albums were some of my favorites too.

My favorite band in the 70s. First Tull concert I attended was the Thick as a Brick tour in Montreal in 72. I was 15, now I'm 67. Time goes by so quickly.

[@claudebuysse7482]

I was there and April Wine did the first part...The acoustic of the Mtl Forum was very bad but JT accomplished a miracle that night. I'd loved to see the Benefit musicians but it was to late...Thick as brick was very not well understood by critics but i loved that album and Passion Play too. Have a nice day.

Outstanding each show was great. Really loved to see Tull and hear the music. Fantastic band.

Ageless to say the least. Best Tull lineup, Barlow on drums Key to the drive . Anderson voice still in excellent form. Martin impeccable. John Glasscock hammering that bass just can’t get bands or music like this anymore. FYI been a Tull fanatic since see them early 70’s at MSG in NY “ A Passion Play” still fresh and new every time I play any of the incredible catalog of music.

[@romanmolimroma9772]

"A Passion Play", a melhor Ópera Rock feita no planeta. Ouvia numa rádio em São Paulo durante o dia de trabalho em apostilas do curso de Engenharia da Universidade de Mogi das Cruzes e da FAAP. Estudava a noite na FAAP no curso de comunicações, início dos anos 70. Era tão impactante que os ouvintes lotava os pedidos de quero mais, quase todos os dias eles colocavam, atendendo inúmeros pedidos, meu inclusive, que enchia o saco deles.

[@jazykjedovaty5984]

Tull's songs are so so emotional, and real. Set aside the "jester" antics of the show, which are indeed fabulous, we can all relate. They sure make you think.
