Jethro Tull | 1969 | Rockpalast präsentiert: Swing In

[@thomashumphrey7395]

Jethro Tull were so unique and great. Intelligent, literate, folky, heavy, hard-rocking, prolific, progressive, proto-metal, rampant and ramshackle, feral and atavistic, wild and unpredictable----so much to the tapestry of their various music. They are also in the very rarified air and pantheon of about 10 to 25 or 30 of the true all-time heavyweights of classic rock bands and musical acts. When you get to this level you are immortalized and recognized as one of the best classic rock groups of all time, but you also become your own brand for your uniqueness, style, and sound. One of the all-time great rock groups.

[@BobC59]

Amen.

Im having such a hard time understanding how so much talent just popped out of the blue during the late 60s and mid 70s... there is no comparison to the talent and music that has been released in the last 20 years... its like the birth of a beautiful flower withering away to the elements of life and the final outcome is its death

This lineup was the best. Anderson fired Cornick and Bunker because he wanted more technically proficient musicians for the complicated prog music he was writing. But he gave up the ability of the band to swing and rock out.

[@dreammachine2013]

Absolutely right. Glenn Cornick was by far the best and most intuitive and creative Bass player that Tull ever had! 🎉 and Clive swung like mad, whereas later drummers seemed to feel the urge to make their presence felt- if needed or not😅. However we should acknowledge the positive and constructive vibes of Dee Dee and Evans in later formations😊. Stand up remains my favourite Tull LP, closely followed by Benefit,Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses❤

This is the thread I'm replying to. This was absolutely my favorite lineup of Tull, plus I also really liked John Evan. I absolutely loved Glenn and Clive, and was sorry to see them go.

For as big a fan of Tull as I have been, ever since 68, regrettably I have never seen the band live. This video really moved me.

Согласен, одна из сильнейших и главных групп прогрессива (арт рока).

[@dacoge]

I find it kind of surreal (if that is indeed the correct word) to think and imagine that at that point, in 1969, no one really knew (though some may've suspected)...neither Ian and boys nor the fans...just how much of a monster Jethro Tull, and indeed prog itself with all the other groups that would and could be included in that genre...would become. It was just really getting ramped up at the time. And though still relatively small, developing, and rough around the edges, there's something very special about this time period, a lot of which could be deemed to have been lost over the following 5 to 10 years as things really got rolling and grew to astronomical proportions.

[@carlostroncozo3760]

Geil! Eigentlich wollte ich nur die verläßlich gute Musik vom Rockpalast nebenbei laufen lassen, und dann kommen Lacher, die ich noch nie irgendwo gesehen habe: 1. Der Roadmanager, kurze Haare, dunkler Anzug, Krawatte, holt die langhaarigen Musiker im dicken Schlitten von zu Hause ab, einer bekommt von Mutti noch ein Küßchen mit Ermahnung, sich anständig zu benehmen, und Vati steht in dunklem Anzug mit Krawatte daneben und sieht stolz auf Sohnemann aus. 2. Der Roadmanager singt im Auto ein lustiges Lied und möchte, daß alle, auch ein Ian Anderson(!), mitsingen. 3. Polizisten beschäftigen sich lange mit dem Schlitten und er bekommt ein Knöllchen. Das Knöllchen wird anschließend von Ian verbrannt. 4. Die wie Waldschrate aussehenden Musiker spielen vor einem bieder angezogenen, jungen Publikum, das meist sitzt und zum Schluß sehr laut klatscht und stampft, nur ein Drittel steht dazu auf. Soweit zur Weltrevolution per Rock 'n' Roll... 5. Ian Anderson liegt im Bett, wünscht Gute Nacht, knipst das Licht aus und schläft selig ein. Ende Nein, das hatte ich alles nicht erwartet! Grandios!

Madre mia que banda por Dios , recuerdos gratos de mi adolescencia y juventud. Inmensa nostalgia invade mis sentimientos al escucharlos una epoca feliz de mi vida.

Tull is AWESOME. I've seen them like 21 times in my life. They NEVER disappoint.

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

The first time I heard Jethro Tull was I was 14 years old in Junior high school in 1971. I never saw him on T.V. He reminds me of Einstein here. The song was Living in the past. One of my classmates had his 45 record. Thanks for the video. I just happened upon this. I didn't even know he was British. Very talented.

Love the proud parents!

The raw energy is compelling! Lots of fabulous improvisations to pad out the material. Definitely worth buying the ‘Stand Up’ box set to hear them live in Sweden 01/69.

This is the hash-distorted electric guitars and flute music that my parents always warned me about back then🙃

Ian Anderson the undisputed master of all things musical. So consistent until today. Fabulous sounds 👌

Yeah, the smoking couldn't have been good for his voice or his lung capacity though.
