I saw Jethro Tull when I 15/16 years old. It was like watching a play. Totally unique and wonderful. I'm 62 now and that's still the best concert I've ever seen! One of a kind.

No one has ever come close to the sound of Jethro Tull. Absolutely amazing and One of a kind forever!!

To all of us who was a teenager around this time ... we were so freaking lucky .

16 years old laying on the floor at a new friends house, stoned, seeing the album cover to Thick as a Brick. He put it on the record player and I was lost into the most wonderful blend of rock and classical music. I was able to see them live when they came near to where I live. Played the full track of Thick as a Brick live. I been a fan ever since.

Saw them headline with the Eagles as openers in Edmonton in 1972. After the Eagles were done, some of the roadies were milling around the stage in their coveralls finalizing things for Tull on stage, when suddenly all the lights went out for about 15 seconds and then the spotlights hit and Acqualung started. Those roadies in coveralls were Tull, now in their stage clothes. What a way to open their set and what a great memory seeing them.

So many years later when they did Thick as a Brick 1 and 2, they did a similar pre-show skit - a bunch of guys appearing to mill about the stage while most of the audience was oblivious, but as their antics became more silly, people started to notice and become amused, till they grabbed instruments and bagan playing.

To get to say , I saw them live in Houston in concert, during the early and mid 70s, mind blowing . They were so original and did an amazing show. So full of life and energy! I'm 71 now. Those were the days!

I miss the 70s😢

Fez parte do meu tempo, mais loco e estupendo da minha vida. Prazer em rever!!!😊

A lifetime Tull follower here. Ah, those were the days when musicians tuned their instruments by ear!

Back around 1972 we charted a bus with about 40 of our closest friends and traveled to Bangor Maine to see Jethro Tull. Bus and concert ticket was about $15. They started with Thick as a Brick and as soon as they finished, Ian said "And now for our next tune". To this day, I can still recall every word of Thick as a Brick, Aqualung, Benefit, Minstrel in the Gallery, Passion Play....

Saw Tull in 71 . l was 16 and it was my first ever gig . Great band .The early albums were classics

Saw Tull a couple of times in the 70s. Either in Portland or Tacoma. My roommate was so taken that he learned how to play the flute so he could play Bouree whilst standing on one leg. My balance was bad. I had to stick with playing it on guitar. I don't do that very well, but this has inspired me. After I'm done with this concert, I think I'll pull my guitar out of its case...

Anderson's absolutely unique, with his sardonic and sarcastic voice and his energy- a performance genius.

The way Ian Anderson vocalized and used his breath while he played, occupying a space where he simultaneously played and sang in such a distinctive way, still blows my mind after all these years.

He clearly listened to Rahsaan Roland Kirk in the sixties, and saw him in England. Kirk was wonderful vocalizing while playing flute, and he even played mouth and nose flutes simultaneously while doing it! Was lucky to see RRK 3x in '70s in NYC, but missed seeing Tull until '80s. The flute and drum solos are outstanding in this 1970 concert. Clive brought Ginger Baker's Toad to mind...

Amazing band!!Ian Anderson is a musical genius.❤❤❤

Always my favorite. I also loved hearing the late, great, Jon Lord from Deep Purple. I liked him best several years later doing his own tours. Best Hammond/Leslie/piano player of them all as far as I'm concerned.

There's nothing like a live Tull show, especially from this era. Most bands shows, nowadays, don't even come close to the shows back in the late sixties and early seventies.

This show is almost like the set they Played in Seattle but in a different order. For me it was the first date that I took my soon to b wife to. RIP my love our 5 kids are still beautiful thanks to you. Thank you Steve.

The first time I saw Tull was when I was a kid skipping school. I took bus and subway to get to the East Village and look around. This incredibly intense blues music came soaring out of the open door of the Electric Circus on Bleecker. In the afternoon. It was Jethro Tull rehearsing for their first gig at the Fillmore around the corner. They were doing Cat Squirrel. Mick Abrahams was the guitarist. Abosolutely incredible. It convinced me to become a blues guitarist. Mick. It took me a while for me to appreciate Stand Up.

Flautist × 1,000,000 and beyond. Wind Up. One of my favorites

Been my all-time favorite since about 1970...seen them well over forty times...

When Tull was Tull The best 👍🏻
