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!

I come neither to diss nor praise Jethro Tull. However, much as I really liked some of their work in their best period, not everything stands the test of time. I recently checked a Best of CD out of the local library. When I listened, it was hard to understand what was best about any of it. It was plodding and supremely uninspired. 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!

This rocks !! But to each their own. The musicianship in this is fantastic. I learned to play the bass listening to Glenn Cornick !!


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