Jethro Tull - Witch's Promise

[Nathan]

I've always felt a connection with Jethro Tull songs, feels like my DNA reaching out into the Life Stream.

 

[jlhog]

One of my favorites.

 

[SeaBreeze]

 

[Paco Dennis]

Loved him and his musicians!!! Listened to them a LOT!

 

[oldaunt]

Tull's way cool....

 

[RadishRose]

This was my favorite "Moths" from the Heavy Horses album

 

[Fyrefox]

I always liked Jethro Tull. Where else are you going to find a virtuoso flutist who performs while standing on one leg?! Wearing a codpiece, no less…

 

[foreveralone]

Tull is awesome, still making great music!
I believe their latest album came out in 2022.

 

[Hackney]

Stormwatch has always been one of my favourite albums. I had Songs from the Wood as well. All awesome music

 

[hearlady]

One of my favorite bands.
Can I say I'd rather listen than watch though?

I bet few of you have ever listened to Jethro Tull impressive 5:42 minute instrumental cover of Cream's Cat's Squirrel. The kind of hard rock that often dominated early 1970s Classic Rock. Saw them several times at Fillmore West in 1970/1971.

Here is Cream's version:

We had a radio station in the '70s here that focused on album rock. They had a Sunday show where they played entire albums with no interruption. That way you got the context of the individual songs as they were meant to be heard.

Saw them in concert in the 70s. He's great as well as the band.

I saw them too. Loved them

[VaughanJB]

Oh, huge fan here. I think I have all their recorded output.

My intro was Songs from the Wood, so that naturally remains my favorite. But really, they haven't made a bad album. I can't name a favorite song, they have so many great performances. Right now, I'd go with Salamander:

 

[OldFeller]

I only own one album by Tull. The long one. "I really don't mind if you sit this one out..."

Whole lotta brick....

Aqualung was what I would call the first adult record album I ever bought and I loved Tull from that moment on. I was 16 at the time. Their music stimulates my mind while moving something within my soul. They seemed groundbreaking to me in a way. It would be hard to choose a favorite track but I do love Living in the Past, Witch's Promise Velvet Green and Wondering Aloud.

 

[Feelslikefar]

A little J.S. Bach

Sorehead that I am, I have to say that Jethro Tull, and others of their ilk, marked the end of the truly great music of the late fifties and sixties.

You reminded me of this...

 

[Capt Lightning]

I really liked Jethro Tull but I'm surprised that the 'do gooders' didn't ban some of their lyrics :-
From 'Aqualung' -
'Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent'
'Little cross-eyed Mary gets no kicks from little boys, she's rather make it with some leching grey'

 

[Mr. Ed]

I saw them too. Loved them

I saw Tull twice in Atlanta GA 70s

I don‘t presume to tell you what you should or shouldn‘t like, just what I believe. For me the real music of the Beach Boys, Beatles, Bee Gees, etc etc, was transformed into the endless screaming and ear piercing noise of the seventies and beyond. As for Jethro Tull, interesting, but not my thing.
