Should be in the rock n roll hall of fame...20 YEARS AGO

Martin Barre can play some serious lead guitar.

His flute is magic.

WHAT......A.....SONG !!!!!!!Oh my gawd I love this man.....MASTERFUL....so alive...AMAZING performance.....WOW !!

I was 29 years old in 87 and at the height of my Ironworking career. "Steel Monkey" was me! ;)

I saw the tour for Crest Of A Knave and Fairport Convention warmed up with Tull bassist David Pegg in both bands. Salt Palace Accord Arena, in Salt Lake City, long gone now.

Ya gotta love Dave Pegg doing the "Peggy Shuffle!", Love it!

I agree.Peggy IS a great bass player

Ian Anderson is an unsung genius - unsung that is by the cretinous Music Establishment who are enslaved to US business interests and preferences, and a mind-numbing "mainstream." The legions of Tull fans around the world have a better awareness and understanding of what constitutes music and a lasting contribution to human culture. Ian Anderson is a high peak in rock music that very few can get close to. They can only look up and wish they could get that high.

The album gold status in the uk .

Who would have dreamed of a flute in a Rock Format? Ian Anderson! I used to go to the Jethro Tull Concerts and have jump out of the window because the sound of the Band was so great!

This era of the band seemed to be having a lot of fun, relaxed. Seemed to be great mates at the time.

Love this track 😍

Be still, my heart❤️

Ian is always great at poking fun of the MTV music video era😉👌

Одна из самых шикарных групп второй половины 20-го века. Мы в России обожаем Jethro

Only 3K views? Are you kidding me? This song really take you into another mood

Very emotional when the guitarists comes in to the saloon. Great song.

This is a great song, even with all of it’s 80s-ness. Probably the best on the album along with Farm on the Freeway.

What a Rocking Recording! It is Classic Jethro Tull.

Hook me up to the power lines of Tulll!!!!!!!!!!

Tull’s best music video no doubt

Crest of a knave one of tulls best albums

From this album onwards the standard of musicianship on each Jethro Tull album was astounding. This is an absolute joy to listen to. sttgaegoaktd

Saw em on the crest of a knave tour and Rock Island Tour ….fantastic

I absolutely LOVE the "chorus line" of guitarists @ 4:05. Satire of all the strutting power guitarists of the 70's and early 80"s !

Yes JT always had this element of parody, and even self-parody! I saw this tour 87. - usualy they finish the gig with this song and all this ZZtop-ish roudies on the stage!

Even still using SM57s for vocals just like back in the late 60s & 70s!

This is the best Tull promo video I think. Great framework story: Quite surreal setting and incidents, poor old Aqualung sneaks into the venue and has a great time - even to the point where something mystical happens, putting him in the spotlight. But in the end it was just a dream - waking hard on the park bench leaves him confused, wondering about the improbability that a tremendous rock band should have a special connection with someone like him. - It's a nice thought that Aqualung, the song, may have contributed to some more awareness for the situation of homeless people here and there throughout the decades.

This song is a minor classic from Tull. Great vid as well. Am loving it.

Superb Martin Barre!!

Martin Barre's appearance belies the blazing rocker underneath!

Thanks again Remy

Otra GENIALIDAD del "monstruo de mil cabezas" el sr. Ian Anderson.

I like the Lounge Act look..................Martin looks like my uncle! Wish he was.

Yes!

Awesome

Yeah great song!

super

Rock with Tull.

That haggard hobo from the street had a role in the movie "Memories of Me" with Billy Crystal and Alan King. He looked in on an accident victim, and Alan King chased him off.

Great album - ( like all the other Tull albums...)

it won album of the year!! wicked pisser----------------------

I produced this video - my partner Jim Yukich directed. It had to be shot near LAX as the band was catching a flight back to UK that day. I have forgotten what the concept meant (other than to feature Aqualung). Any ideas other than Burlingtonbil1's "A Satire of all the strutting power guitarists of the 70's and early 80"s"
