5. "This Was" version or "Living In The Past"? |
|
I love both, although I have a soft spot for "This Was" because of Mick Abrahams guitar playing. :-)

7. It is their most underrated album |
|
It has a rawness they never quite captured on later albums. Mick was only on that album before he quit to form Blodwyn Pig (if you can find it, get their "Ahead Rings Out" album).
Glad you enjoy it! "Cat's Squirrel" kicks ass. I used to almost be able to play along with that on guitar, lol.

13. Tull evolved over the decades,,, |
|
...and Anderson is ten times the musician he was in those days, but This Was is a special disc. Incredible energy, a chaotic mess that moves ya.

To evolve from a blues band to a jazz blues band to a "british folk" band to prog rock to hard rock and still be one of the best.
Ever read the story of how Ian Anderson learned he had been playing flute "wrong" for years. His daughter told him so. Flute is a weird instrument in that there are different ways to get the same notes and he had learned incorrect fingering that made it harder.
But he still played the hell out of it.
Coincidentally I put my flute together today and started the process of learning again myself.

we tried to see them a few years ago but the show got rained out.
Saw them three times in the 70s though. Each was a gem. :-)

23. Cool thing was they played mostly older stuff that I recognized. in fact |
|
my only disappointment was that they didn't also play "The Whistler" since I adore that tune.
Hope you get another shot at seeing them!

I've always been most impressed by their inability to stand still. And, the friendship/loyalty aspect of how many members stayed with it. It's not just Ian. It's a whole inner circle thing.
You talked about the different forms of the band, but there's a song in which that whole dymanic occurs in about 4 and a half minutes. Listen to "Skating Away" some time. British folk morphs into prog rock and then hard rock and back all within a few minutes. That's an AMAZING song. The Professor

31. i'm agreeing with that gf... |

i find solace in known quantities as well, so much of what is thought or marketed as 'new, hip & progressive' can miss the mark utterly so why not revisit the time-tested classics :shrug: makes sense to me

33. Have you ever heard Bill Withers' album " +Justments " from 1974 ... |
|
The album is only a memory to most people - but I can still listen to the rich tones of his beautiful voice.
On the cover of the album is a hand written message from a young Bill Withers to us all ...
Life like most precious gifts gives us the responsibility of upkeep. We are given the responsibility of arranging our own psyches to best benefit our survival. We have the choice of believing or not believing in things like God, friendships, marriage, love, lust or any number of simple or complicated things.
We will make some mistakes both in judgment and in fact. We will help some situations and hurt some situations. We will help some people and hurt some people and be left to live with it either way. We must then make some adjustments or as the old folks back home would call them "Justments"

Grandma's hands Clapped in church on Sunday morning Grandma's hands Played a tambourine so well Grandma's hands Used to issue out a warning She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast Might fall on a piece of glass "Might be snakes there in that grass" Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands Soothed a local unwed mother Grandma's hands Used to ache sometimes and swell Grandma's hands Used to lift her face and tell her, "Baby, Grandma understands That you really love that man Put yourself in Jesus hands" Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands Used to hand me piece of candy Grandma's hands Picked me up each time I fell Grandma's hands Boy, they really came in handy She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy What you want to spank him for? He didn' drop no apple core" But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven I'll look for Grandma's hands

My friends feel it's their appointed duty They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes You just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do It ain't too bad the way you're using me Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do Ah ha to do the things you do

25. Jethro Tull's debut is really good |
|
My favorite album of theirs is either Thick as a Brick or War Child but their early albums are really cool as well.
I'm listening to "Down by the River" by Neil Young. I bought the Decade double-CD yesterday 'cause I found it used for a good price. I already had the LPs, so maybe it was a little extraneous, but I really wanted to listen to it in my car...
