Same here, about maybe 15. Classic, old school, back in the day.....whatever, still awesome! A friend of mine has a sign that reads....."I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands!" JT was one of my first 2-3 concerts, Aqualung tour. |

Just bought the Aqualung (40th Anniversary Special Edition), out a couple days ago. Completely remastered from the original multi track master. The instruments just stand out way more then I remember. AWESOME! http://musictap.net/2011/11/08/review-jethro-tull-aqualung-40th-anniversary-special-edition/  |

When I checked the actual CD, it was another Jethro Tull album I had never heard, or heard of, erroneously placed in the wrong case. And was it ever turgid! The interplay between guitar and bass noted by another poster here was not evident. However, they were churning through the notes with a steady trudge. Some bands really have creative peaks and deep troughs. This particular piece is one from their high period. Sure reads like a diss to me. |

Albums "Songs from the woods" and "Heavy horses" are definitely worth listening!

Well, look at it this way, Anderson could have played "cow bell" ....("manically")  |

You had an excellent mentor!  Cornick is one of my alltime favourite bassists. I really liked the way he and Martin Barre played counterpoint off each other. |

Haven't heard this in years! Love the production values! -lol- One of my favourite bands in the day and I still love to hear JT. BTW, does anybody know if Ian Anderson is still farming Atlantic salmon? |

Jethro Tull - To Cry You a Song
This album was really amazing— it was surprising how rock solid fantastic the music was, and how it was so original... high energy, virtuoso talent, and brilliant originality... profound importance because of qurik, meaning and dilatant dabbling unique and organic counterposts rife with meaning and melody...
fresh as a sophisticated singing fish offering fins of direction with purpose... codes which mass meaning to the initiated.... I intuitively feel such secrets transmit profound meaning... stirs the best in the chest to follow etiquette... a complicated dance like the moments fo a true play...
ride this moment through infinity... the meaning is individual... put no limitations on yourself...
everybody is so beautiful... so alive.... allow the image to carry happiness....
