  1. Jethro Tull was a constant musical companion of mine as I progressed through undergraduate college. Unbelievable live concerts and really fine musicians. Wonderful to finally see them on iTunes!

    I guess my age is showing…

  2. Yay!!! About f***ing time!!! =8-)

    @TheDataDude: don’t worry about your age, mate – most of today’s music is nothing to get excited about. For a few weeks I downloaded the weekly free songs from iTunes, but they were always so crappy I just deleted them. I much rather pay for something worth listening to.

  3. walter chillium: Hmmm, I seem to remember that Ian Anderson, the band’s lead singer, had the worst teeth in the music industry.

    I find it had to believe that he has worse teeth than The Pogue’s Shane McGowan.

  4. “Nothing like some Jethro to enjoy ‘Living in the Past’ in 5/4 time, man.”

    I second that, TowerTone.

    My first Jethro Tull concert was the first time that I smoked pot.

  5. I love Tull! I already have most of what I want, but I’ll take a look at iTunes and see if I’m missing something. Tull were great musicians that could crank out some pounding rock and then slip into a great harmonic jazz riff. Anderson made the flute cool for a rock band, although no one has been to replicate his success; which goes to show how uniquely talented he was. He came along with song writing and singing capabilities too. I definitely like the early stuff and enjoyed heavy doses of Benefit and Aqualung in high school. I think Jethro Tull was the first concert I went to on my own with friends. The Forum in L.A., where the Lakers used to play.

    ‘I just hate it when people think that Jethro Tull is a member in the band!”‘

    ‘Oh, by the way, which one’s ‘Lynyrd?’,

    Cu-did you feel like you were floatin’ in the air with the smoke?
