My first and last time with you
And we had some fun.
Went walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once.
Oh I want to see you soon
But I wonder how.
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now.
Spent a long time looking
For a game to play.
My luck should be so bad now
To turn out this way.
Oh I had to leave today
Just when I thought I'd found you.
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now.

| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Dec 22, 2012 - 12:08 1969 shining again. What a year of great albums. |
| davejmw | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 11:34 Trower wasn't in Tull but Tony Iommi was for a day or two! Check out The Rolling Stones Circus DVD |
| davejmw | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 11:33 More Jazz Flute!!! |
| whomhow (changeable) | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 11:31 solid ten for one of my all-time favourite groups! |
| top20 (Felixstowe (England)) | Posted: Nov 23, 2012 - 05:15 Trower was never in Tull. I think you'll find this was Martin Barre's first outing as guitarist. bluedot wrote: Huh? I didn't know that Robin Trower was ever in Jethro Tull! |

If ya like only one genre of music like Jazz, Classical ,Blues or hell if ya just like polka music then knock yourself out and have the best damn polka collection around. People are obviously going to like different things, thats what makes us individuals. I grew up with a father that was a hillbilly from Missouri whos "heroes" were Hank Sr and Woody Guthrie and loved the Grand Ol' Opry but he did try to get behind Jazz so we had Bird, Dizzie, Miles and Bruebeck in the record shelves while my mom only listened to classical and hated country so I grew up listening to both. I also had a big 8 band shortwave radio in my room so heard "world music" at early age. I sometimes think a grading system for music with a forum is bad because it causes people to defend and offend. I really don't want to do either but find myself doing both. You think Tull is crappy I don't so why argue. I look at peoples playlist like yours and see stuff at top that I love then see stuff at the bottom that I just don't understand especially when it was a number 1 hit or a platinum record. I totally understand how people want music they can call their own, for the period that they grew up in but I wasn't around for Bach, Mozart ,Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Charlie Patton,Reinhardt but luckily we have their recordings and I have allways tried to listen to each new or old group that I am exposed to and sure I don't care for some new music but love others and look forward to what comes out tomorrow. My niece thinks I should like the Jonas Bros but call me narrow minded after listening to several songs doesn't look like I'll be buying any of their stuff anytime soon but who knows what their next album brings. Anyway this world needs more tolerance not only with music but with people that are different so please don't take this as a attack or that I am being condescending I'm not. Damn thats alot of words just because you don't think a band doesn't have any talent and I do lol damn forum and grading system I miss Holborne. Not enough honest people speaking up here anymore. Sigh. I think stkman is correct. Still, at some point these old songs become sacred cows and their defenders do become really nasty and condescending. I can understand Jazz enthusiasts defending Jazz with all their hearts. That's wonderful. However, I draw the line when it is pushed on me. When someone claims there is something wrong with my intellect, or learning, or open-mindedness (I could go on forever..) I have to protest. This is why I protest and rail against Jazz and all of those old fart genres. Also, Jazz has become politicized like Classical. Not only do I have it crammed down my throat, but I have to subsidize it with tax dollars. Bullshit. Not bloody likely matey, not on my watch. 'Kinell. A few other points on criticism...there is an astounding degree of ignorance of the nature of criticism displayed on this board. Many great thinkers have written off entire forms of art and artists throughout the ages. Read Tolstoy on Opera and Shakespeare for example. |

| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Oct 21, 2011 - 12:19 One of the few Jethro Tull songs that really rocks. 8. |

| RickyBobby (Oxford Mills, Ontario - We have a Wal-Mart you know) | Posted: Aug 19, 2011 - 12:02 I can't but think of Ron Burgundy when I hear the flute. Funny. |

The flute should be blown discreetly. |

I suppose that's one interpretation. The Wailers, The MC5, The Stooges, or The Kingsmen (among many others) might disagree. We all hear something different though. |
| farley (Bushey, UK) | Posted: Aug 05, 2010 - 07:35 this is wuckin great, Martin Barre is so solid :) |
| publiceric (San Rafael, CA) | Posted: Jul 04, 2010 - 10:46 Tull invented Grunge a few decades early with this album — this track and especially "Back to the Family". I didn't used to like this opening track much but its primitive lo-fi energy grew on me over the years till it's now one of my favorites by the band. Supposedly they got the audio effects by attaching a mic to a long cable from the ceiling and sending it flying back and forth over the players. |
| Giselle62 (many bear, big rock, estuary California) | Posted: Jul 04, 2010 - 10:39 I haven't heard this for a long time. for some reason it sounded good after Happy Mondays. |

| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Mar 31, 2010 - 05:40 Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was involved in putting together a gig at Woolwich Poly near London at the halls of residence combining a few 'mobile disco's' (as they were then called) together for a whopping gig. Someone knew the Tull were in town and we were able to borrow their PA along with all our rigs and made a huge wall of speakers driven with seemingly countless slave amps. We blew a few fuzes that night in more ways I can remember. |

| jbunniii (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Sep 23, 2009 - 08:30 I usually like Tull, but this song doesn't do a lot for me. Is the vocalist Ian Anderson with a frog in his throat, or someone else? I was about to ask "and where's the flute??" but then it fired up. OK, that just raised its score one point. Solid 7 |

Of course I did, and now I have the CD version that was reproduced with the same pop-up in miniture. What a groundbreaking record at its time and how much fun to hear cuts from it today. Oh, and spotcheckbilly, you can get up off your hands and knees now... |
