  • Close-Ups from the Video-Screens of the live Performance of Jethro Tull at the Tampa Stadium in Florida/USA from 1976. Rare Live Footage (Good Quality)
    Do not be surprised about the close-ups. Coming from the video walls next to the stage, this video is not a standard video recording of a Jethro Tull concert, but these recordings are a priceless contemporary document of one of the most fantastic live bands of our century. so be thankful ... like me ... !!

Almost Johnny and Edgar winner but they didn't quite make it. Even without them though that was one heck of a concert

      I was too and I didn’t want to go because it was so hot and while we always found great seats and enjoyed the acoustics we never expected to actually see it, No one was aware of what was going to happen because we’d never seen a jumbo screen before. It’s so normal now but I still remember the rush when Ian Anderson who looked about 2 inches tall came walking out and we all realized what was happening. I’m so glad we went. It’s still one of the best concerts ever and I was fortunate to have seen many. And finding it on CZcams was/is awesome!!!

    Ian Anderson walked out under the big screen that no one had ever seen before, and said " Welcome to Tullavision."

Ian then fluted 'Cross eyed Mary' instead of singing it and the replacement drummer really screwed up major drum parts of 'Aqualung'. The only real props they had was a clothesline w 4 pieces of clothes on it. This was in Anaheim.

When Ian stopped playing his flute to sing, he tossed it up 2 stories, sang the verse, then stuck his hand out behind him to catch the flute and play the next notes, sight unseen. Wow, definite force of nature and showman extraordinaire.

    Ian Anderson is arguably the greatest poet, singer songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist to ever appear before a paying audience, and he has done so over 4k times in over 40 countries. Ian Anderson has written over 90% of the notes and lyrics, he has hired and fired every band member and special guest. Ian Anderson has had final say over every finished product album after album, he has negotiated every record deal, he has signed every contract to go on tour. Ian Anderson has directed every rehearsal and presided over every soundcheck. Ian Anderson writes and performs music with as high a degree of difficulty as anybody ever in the music business and he has done it all while standing on one leg and making it look easy when we all know it isn't.

    Ian and the band at their prime. It is wonderful that with new technology young people can get to see and hear the band, without having to pay for tickets to see them like I did from 1972 onwards! The tickets got harder to get hold of too into the 1980s and beyond as the Band's fan-base grew. They are right up there at the top of the tree when it comes to the quality of their music, musicianship, and live performances. Albums like Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, Warchild, Songs from the Wood, Stormwatch and others will live forever in the Music collections of Music lovers the world over.

      ogrebattle22763 Martin was one of the best. And I’ve seen Page,Clapton,and lots of greats

      Yep, I rate this line up as the best Tull ever, just for total cohesion, with the addition of David Palmer on portative pipe organ made them perfect for the last part of the 70s.

    Tull Live is transcendent; all other bands can take a lesson.

      King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra and numerous incarnations of Frank Zappa's 70's bands would like a word with you.

    What a great, great concert. These guys were truly professionals and they all worked together to put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. A band of Medieval Minstrels at the top of their game. Amazing! I had never seen them in concert before and I am truly amazed.

      I saw JT for the 1st time when "brick" was released in 1972. What a time in history. I was 21,life was good,and this concert was amazing. The band came out and ripped thru the entire "brick"LP- start to finish. Saw Martin and the boys 10 times after that,and always left well satisfied. Great band!

    I lived in Clearwater in the 1960’s and 70’s and was fortunate to have seen Jethro Tull 3 times. Once in Tampa and twice at Bayfront Arena in St Petersburg. They always put on a fantastic show. One of my absolute favorite bands to see on stage! Ian Anderson is a musical genius!
