This was my favorite band, no pun intended ! 😊 I loved Tull and would fall asleep listening to Aqualung as a 15-year-old. old kid. Hanging with Martin Barre a couple of times in the late 90's was incredible. What a gentleman ! Glenn Cornick was cool as well.. He went on to form Wild Turkey and opened for Yes and Black Sabbath on the 1972 Master Of Reality tour, and Yes ( Fragile tour ). Killer vid, of course, Jeff !
Being a Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac fan, I followed him when he formed Paris. They released 2 hard rock albums, with Glenn Cornick playing bass on the first one. If you like Bob, Glenn, or something a little harder than Fleetwood Mac, you may enjoy those records.
Martin spoke to me about Into The Sun" back in '99 while having dinner. It was then that I remembered that Stand Up was his 1st album with the band.. He simply confessed his love for this song !
He would dine at our restaurant. With Martin Barre in the house, I would get off early, and he always invited me to sit down. The first visit, I will never forget the great conversation about other musicians and this and that ! He asked me what I thought of Richard Thompson.. I feel he was a bit competitive with Richard during that time. Also, he told me about going to see Elvis at the International with Ian and the boys right next door to where I just saw them perform Thick As A Brick. I would tell him something, and we would, in turn, tell me what he and the band were doing at the time.. Amazing experience !
Finally dove into this band full force recently so this was perfect timing! You do an outstanding job on these! The opening title card graphics, the editing and information provided is perfect and all in a nice concise presentation. Keep makin’ ‘em, I’ll keep watchin’!
Great video of their early songs . This is a top 10 Tull album for me , and would probably rank around 6th in their catalog in my list . I never tire of hearing it , and you did it justice . Thanks !!!
Hi Jeff!!! Another great deep dive. I'm not very familiar with Jethro Tull's early catalogue, this is an album you don't see very often discussion about it. Are you going to do all of their 70's material? cheers and be well
I remember seeing an Ian Anderson interview where he was asked about the Indian Raga influences which started on this album (Fat Man etc..) instead of claiming some spiritual journey he said they used to go to curry houses after their shows and just picked up on the background music! . Notice Ian’s extra finger on that woodcut?

My favourite Tull album - it lacked the polish of later releases but this and the debut was the real Tull
I love these early Tull albums!!!!!!! Another killer deep dive, brother!!!!
Thanks brother! My favorite era of the band.

Rest in peace, Glenn. All underrated musicians. How cool you got to meet those guys!

Those are both good albums, Bob Welch was a great talent, I'm a massive Danny Kirwan fan as well !
Never met Glenn, Martin, and his wife would come by occasionally.. back in 98-99. A lot of rockers moved to Tahoe back then, Jeff.

Hold up…how did you manage to have dinner with Martin Barre? You are full of surprises John!

This is so good Jeff! I haven’t seen any of these clips before so this was a really great watch for me. Thanks!
Thanks Gary! Such a great band even at this early stage.

Thank you! I’m really enjoying this series and Ian Anderson is such a dynamic front man. I’m discovering some of this footage for the first time. 🙂
Great video of their early songs .

I never tire of hearing it , and you did it justice .
Thanks !!!
Thank you John! I love giving these early classics a closer listen and it;s fun finding all this vintage footage.
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 It shows that you enjoy it . The videos are great . Look forward to the next one .
Can't wait until you get to "Benefit" my favorite album. Fantastic critique, thoroughly enjoying this.
It’s taking me some time but Benefit in the works. 👍👍
Really cool Jeff! Can’t wait for part 3!😁
Thanks!
Excellent deep dive. Stand Up was my introduction to Tull and has remained one of my Top 5 Tull albums, despite being goddamn hippies. Lol.
Haha thanks!
The Eagles used to open for Jethro Tull. . .and were treated pretty badly (according to them)

Hi Cristian. I’m not sure how deep I will go into their catalog. Depends how much interest there is. Cheers!

No I did not! Ha ha!
Is this the 3rd time you've posted this? YT police working overtime.
Nope just once
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 That's strange because it popped up on my feed, and it shows it was posted just 7 hours ago.
FYI, Leicester is actually pronounced 'Lester'. Strange but true. (I know this as I'm English).
I am admittedly terrible at pronouncing English names. Thanks for clarifying, 🙂
