My old man loved Jethro Tull. He'd listened to them in the 80s, when I was just a kid. I would then sneak secretly to steal his cassettes and listen to the "crazy guy with the flute" on my own. The old man died too soon. But I still see his face whenever I hear Anderson's flute. I'm today two years older than my old man when he died and I've been wildly missing him ever since.

10 out of 10 for this live performance. I rediscovered Jethro few years back after just knowing and loving as a teenager, spoilt for so much music at the time, 'Living in the past'. I bought this album on remastered Vinyl. Classic. God knows how many times I've played it. Got me through a dark phase in my life. Also have on vinyl (new) Aqualung. Rock band with flute unique. The sound of that instrument is haunting.

This brings me back to my happy times, love Jethro Tull!!!!

For me Jethro Tull is the best rock sound of ever.

Brilliant ! Saw them in 1976. I was a young musician and they blew me away.

Великий композитор, поэт, флейтист, исполнитель, артист... Одна из лучших групп в арт роке (прогрессиве). Потрясающий альбом.

Absolutely amazing live performance. So good.

Was amazed when I first saw Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull where I filmed them at a rock festival with my super 8 camera in 1969. I have filmed Tull 4 diffetent times after that 3-day outside festival. which included Thick as a Brick is one of my all time favorite albums.

When I was 13 or 14, a house had burned down (everyone was safe) and my Dad was called to handle clean-up. We got some smokey bed linens and stuff but my father also brought home a cassette tape that someone had made of Thick as a Brick. I was already a fan of Benefit and Aqualung and I'd go crazy when Ian Anderson played that flute! So this was added to my list of favorite albums. Thank you for reminding me!❤❤❤
