I’m 17, started listening to Jethro about 6 months ago, and i immediately fell in love with them! When i heard they were coming to Naples, Italy for a live concert, i couldn’t resist buying tickets. Half an hour until the concert starts!

Does anyone know if the website 'A Cup of Wonder', which provided analysis of Jethro Tull lyrics, no longer exists?

In the Minstrel box set Jakko mentions the "code that had been stripped on one track for the film (now missing) sync that went with the concert recording."

The only song of this show we have on film is mitg, but, by the sounds of it, most of the show was filmed and is now (presumably?) missing.
If it exists and is just undiscovered or in bad shape, this would surely have to be the holy grail of Tull live videos as it is the only major live video to feature Jeffrey.

So my question is ultimately... Is the running story that the footage found, but unsalvageable? Or has the footage been misplaced (or even worse, destroyed somehow) and therefore are lost to time?

L.O.V.E Tull, don't get me wrong (listening now, in fact!), but what happened to Ian's voice? Just worn out? Cigarettes? Full disclosure, I'm 65 and really love the first six or so albums. My interest waned when Bungle in the Jungle hit the airwaves. Maybe my taste in music just changed. No disrespect to Ian, the group, or fellow fans. Rock On!

How do you feel about The Zealot Gene? this album has a special place in my heart and was a late career masterwork from Ian imo. His voice might be weak but seriously, his songwriting is really inspired. After the 70's classics it's my favorite album for sure. I really don't feel the same way about RokFlote though, there are a couple highlights but I rarely go back to that one

I have lots of songs I like to sing for karaoke, but with most of them, the songs have portions that fall out of my vocal range.

But, there's one song that totally suits my voice, Life's a Long Song. It's one that I've been practicing by doing and almost perfected its execution. The trick is to gradually increase your volume as the song proceeds. I've been improvising what to do on stage during the long musical interlude. I've been practicing standing on one leg, pretending to play the microphone as a flute. The one-legged bit does become difficult, even after a couple drinks.

I just bought a turntable and I was hoping to get my favorite Tull albums, as well as also getting the Wilson remixes. However, it seems like several of them present me with a choice: get all the bonus material or a vinyl.

Has anyone written up a guide to the various releases so I could figure out which albums have full vinyl releases and which I'd need to get the CD/DVD combos instead? Or is this my homework for the next couple of weeks lol?

Hello. I think this drawing was awesome, but I have not ever seen it again. If you type "jethro tull world tour 2007 in concert" in google you get a few images that are close, but with bad resolution, text over it and different colors.

Could someone help?

On the YouTube bootlegs i've seen they always skip it in place of the drum solo. Love that part of the song, would love to hear it live on a bootleg if it exists.

Hello everyone, as a fellow prog rock enjoyer I decided to go to the Tull concert even if i listen few songs of it. Because old rock bands don't come very often to Istanbul.

Concert will be held on 23 November. Can you recommend me some where to start(to enjoy it better) I listen to King Crimson, ELP, Camel, Renaissance if it any helps.

I don't know the community rules, if there is already a guide, I am ready to begin.

I'm intrigued by the band's interviews about these albums and song creation process, as well as the track-by-track by Ian (and sometimes other band members). The Benefit boxset is especially fun to read, given the band's tendency to disparage the album, which is quite humorous. For instance, Glenn labeled one of its songs, I think it was 'Nothing To Say', as Jethro Tull's worst.

What knowledge have you acquired from these boxsets, and what's the most interesting fact you've uncovered?

Thinking Round Corners is Ian mimicking Captain Beefheart right?

I've read in an interview of his saying he was a big fun of the Captain and I listened to TRC after I'd seen a Beefheart video some days prior coincidentally. I'm not a fun of his vocals in this song, but realizing he's pretending to be a once idol of him perhaps, made it more amusing to listen to.

I've been really thinking about Martin Barre's guitar tone. He's always had a unique tone but more so his guitar tone during the '80s. I'm curious about the gear he used. [reddit admins>>>>>] I searched all over google[<<<<<google sucks]. I can understand the novelty of the time and how quickly that tone fell out of fashion, well it's 40 years after the fact and it's very intriguing to me how Martin got that tone.
