Aqualung

Jethro Tull

1971

Wide and varied yet cohesive, Tull's 1971 concept album is one of his finest.

I remember when he came to play a concert at Kent State, I was too poor to buy a ticket, so I sat outside the gym with a couple other financially challenged friends and we listened to it from there! Those were the days.

Includes the title cut, "Cross Eyed Mary", "Locomotive Breath".

2. I have Aqualung, Benefit and Thick as a Brick on Vinyl.

Also recently, I got a three CD set which includes: Benefit, Stand Up, and This Was. I became intrigued this last summer about the small controversy of The Eagles copying Tull's "We Used to Know" from Stand Up, for 'Hotel California".

I saw J.T. in the early 70's. Ian Anderson is touring this coming summer and is going to be in Dayton.
