Not exactly 8mm film, these are from a 1/2'' video tape taken at the Fillmore East December 1969. I've seen the very bad quality version of this but only "A new day yesterday and for a thousand mothers" this appears to be many more songs possibly "Fat Man" ? Hmm pretty interesting. I also noticed the different angles that your 75 8mm is shot from. This wasn't just some audience member that shot this was it? Darin Those stills from the Filmore 69 are pretty great! If you have this film then I know you have quite the respectable collection. I have seen these stills before and have known about this film for many years. I thought they were e-mailed to me but I can't locate the image. What I saw must have originated from you. I have had several people asking me if I could locate this film for them. Hopefully it's somehow able to be released at some point. Thanks for posting!

What's Your Favorite Tull Era? Let me know! Personally my favorite era is 1972-1975, the energy was outstanding, the music was incredible, they were just at their peak. 72-73... and all the others

I have certainly overstated my opinion on the matter here and there. Mostly (suprisingly) defending Martin's legacy in Tull and my own right to not be happy about the departure. Which I wasn't! I heard that Jethro Tull would be performing TAAB live (nearly a dream come true) Only to wait months with this dreaded countdown clock to tell us that actually Tull were no more! After a lifetime's investmant in both Ian and Martin it was important for me to express my feelings about it at the time. For that I was called a "whiner" and told that Martin Barre was a loser. The name debate in general was absolutley prolonged by the few who feel that others have NO right whatsoever to express these opinions in support of Martin. But really I think they just want to argue and insult for the kick. This is still going on YEARS later. I say respect everyone's opinion and let it rest. Don't try and be the Rambo of the chat community. You're not changing anyone's mind, certainly not mine. EVER! It's a childish & trolllike mentality and shows that you really don't have much else going on. I still enjoy reading honest opinions about it here, but the back and fourth elsewhere on the web, and constant insults to Martin after 45 YEARS and thousands of performances (playing his heart out for most) is nearly pathetic. I respect these great artists who have given me so much for a lifetime. The endless, ugly debates have divided the Tull community as never before.

Milwaukee 1975 8mm Stills, from my private collection. And I see you have footage of Jeffery juggling the "zebra shit". This is epic! My friend Chris Crump worked with Tull in 73 and taught Jeffery how to juggle. The Zebra was brought out for "Bungle" I believe?

Holy crap, that was amazing. And to think, I had dinner with that guy. Remind me, why does he play 'second fiddle' to Steve Vai and Joe Satch again? He is awesome! And I imagine he's a great guy Ian? Will he be checking in on deep cuts anytime soon?

Have you seen Mike's solo version of Frank Zappa's Inca Roads?... Incredible! Are you referring to the duo version with Bryan Beller or the Beer for Dolphins rendition? Sounds interesting. Such a great song!

Whats Your Favorite Tull Stage Gag? weather its the telephone, the zebra, the rabbits, the ship rigging, the gorilla, or whatever else you can think of! Let me know! I missed the real theatrical shows (my first in 77) but have seen on bits of film and know about many of the classic gags that took place. I think the phone gag is pure genius. Instantly stopping the show in the middle of a chaotic 5/4 passage of the brick to answer a ringing phone and then pick up in the song right where they left off without missing a beat! How cool is that! Although this did happen again in the middle of Hunting Girl in 2003 and the phone call was for the "ample chested blonde in the front row sitting with that guy" to which Ian threw the phone to my girlfriend, always stands out as a highlight. We are lucky to have at least 2 members of the classic era road crew here at the group page. Mick, the scuba diver and Chris, Tull's longtime sound engineer I'm sure they have favorites.

Also from my personal footage, Chicago Stadium 1975, AKA "The Yellow Blob" footage, as you can see from the photo. I've looked at that yellow blob for years. So nice to see it clearly for a second.

PFM - great Italian prog band from the 70s. No prog collection is complete without "Per un Amico" (For a Friend) Yes, and so this fits the topic! I do have at least this album on vinyl and remember liking it. I'll have to re-spin.

Interesting band here and with Ian! Standard size acoustic for My God (i'm guessing it's not his) and some great prog flute jams later on. Pretty cool!

The selections so far have been great! I'm probably more like you Pat although I don't really listen to them as much anymore but I think the bands that meant the most are the bigger named bands that I grew up loving. Yes, Genesis, Crimson, Rush, Zappa etc. All pretty standard but all very essential. To list everything would take me all night. Start with the Beatles, Hendrix and go up the list through all the 70's prog stuff, also jazz fusion, good jazz from the 50's and 60's. Never got into country, southern rock, or rap. I have also always dabbled in the obscure prog stuff and love the canterbury prog bands etc.. but the bands that remain most important are always the big ones. As far as being up there with Tull! Some of the bigger named bands are the only ones who were ever close. These days I have a bunch of random things I listen too mostly with similar influences of the old bands, classic sounds, acoustic guitars mixed with heavy guitars, good vocal harmonies etc.. The stuff Steven Wilson has done has been probably the most refreshing thing to come along in current times. I went through a brief metal phase as a kid from Sabbath to Metallica and that's probably why I can get into some of the heavier more current stuff. But I mean progressive heavy with strong groove like Mars Volta and sort of an offshoot band "Zechs Marquise" (has been on the ipod a lot) I can't tolerate much metal music at all anymore and beyond loathe death metal style vocals. Just ridiculous! Actually a lot of what I listen to now is instrumental and sometimes more ambient. It's fun to look through old vinyls that I've never heard of and give them a spin. Sometimes it turns out to be very bad or funny even. Every now and then something great pops up.

A bit of a musical brouhaha this week with allegations about potential plagiarism concerning Zep's 'Stairway to heaven' and Spiirt's 'Taurus'. BBC Newsnight ran this as their closing credits, overlaying Robert Plant's vocals over the Spirit track. If it's a court room success will it reignite the 'We used to know'/Hotel California debate? too late...

I have talked with Kurt just last week. He is a great guy. Was saddened to hear he was thrown a curve ball. Wishing and hoping he recovers form this.

Have you ever wondered how IA and Tull will be judged by future generations? Will this music be remembered at all? Will Tull be represented only by "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath?" (boo!) Will some of the REALLY great IA songs have a chance of surviving into the future? Will IA and the band be viewed with respect or derision? Or will it all be forgotten? Not a fair question, since none of us will around to see if we're right or wrong, but your opinions are welcome, nevertheless! -David I have thought a lot about this. I think Tull's music will come to be more and more respected in the future. Aqualung is like Ian's Beethoven's 5th Symphony but Thick as a Brick and Passion Play will be remembered as some of the masterful compositions of our time. There is so much to absorb in both that I still find them remarkable after 40 years. This music is like fine wine and I think rather than be forgotten they will just more and more revered through the ages. Ian and Tull were unlike any other act and the music is unlike anything else and that will make them stand out in future generations.

Man those look good! I think I will follow up with a treat from the Ice Cream Lady Oh wait I ate that one already... in 1993 when she tossed it from the stage! Where is that Ice Cream Lady when you need her?? She's probably off changing her drawers?

Review: Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson in Concert
by Nick Love on May 16, 2014 Combining new material and classics of old… Ian Anderson and band
Review: Ian Anderson In Concert Venue: Grand Opera House, York, May 15, 2014
Ian Anderson returned to York last night to showcase his latest solo album Homo Erraticus. Many people won’t realise that the iconic rock flautist who played to a packed Grand Opera house has sold over 60 million records and was part of a band that in the Seventies was one of the biggest on the planet – sharing the stage with the likes of the Stones and Led Zeppelin. Anderson first played in York with Jethro Tull on March 8, 1972 when they played their brand of bluesy folk rock to a crowd of students in the University Central Hall. In circumstances stranger than fiction, there was a tepee on stage in which the members of the band made costume changes and during the gig Anderson took a phone call – which was a request for the owner of a horse to move it from out of the foyer as it was causing an obstruction! The only horse action in York yesterday was at the Dante Festival on the Knavesmire, whilst at the Grand Opera House “Tullophiles” enjoyed an accomplished evening of music which included a complete rendition of the solo album and a host of Jethro Tull favourites after the interval. When I interviewed Anderson a couple of months ago about the solo album he hinted that Jethro Tull as a band had run its course. So anyone turning up expecting to hear the unique sound of Martin Barre on lead guitar may well have been disappointed had it not been for the virtuosity of Florian Opahle. No one can recreate the unique Barre-Tull sound but Opahle shone through as a highly accomplished and technically proficient and versatile axeman. His colleagues were equally adept and the band as a whole was tighter than the proverbial Yorkshireman’s purse-strings. Anderson demonstrated that age had not withered his flute playing with several soaring solos that weaved their magic like days of old It is however somewhat sorrowful that the once gloriously unique voice that propelled Tull to stardom in a bygone age has exited stage left and Anderson is now accompanied by in effect a backing singer, Ryan O’Donnell, who takes the higher registers, but who wanders the stage incongruously. This wasn’t helped by some ineffectual mixing which didn’t bring O’Donnell’s vocals to the fore on several notable occasions. The crowd though were willing to overlook these glitches and enjoy the overall performance of the band which was energetic and skillful. The first half was applauded better than you would expect for any new album – where you assume that quite a few people will not have heard it, but given that this is the best work for quite a while from Anderson this was understandable. The real affection was forthcoming in the second half though, as the greatest hits flowed forth mainly in chronological order from 1969 onwards. Classics such as Living In The Past, Too Old To Rock And Roll and Aqualung were dispatched with aplomb as Anderson demonstrated that age had not withered his flute playing with several soaring solos that weaved their magic like days of old. As the encore Locomotive Breath chugged along to its denouement, there was a sense that Ian Anderson still loves playing live as much as ever and still has much to give. Who are we to deny this genuine rock godfather that chance in the coming years?

Thanks Preston. Nice run of shows you had there. I would imagine at his age he is not going to have great night every night. Sorry to say as he is a performer who gave his all for so many years night after night. I can't imagine how he would miss a lyric cue for Farm on the Freeway? I would think he has that one down cold!
