What are the chances of Martin Barre, the band’s long-serving former guitarist, now out of the band for more than a decade, ever playing again with Jethro Tull?
I have no beef with Martin. But if an interview that I saw recently on YouTube is anything to go by, then he seems a very unhappy person. I don’t think that would make the atmosphere within the band very easy. Finally, after many, many, many years in which I had advised him to do so, Martin is doing his own stuff. He’s in charge of his own band, rather than a circumstance in which he is not the songwriter, producer or manager. At last he can do things his way. Judging by the amount of shows that he’s playing, he should be having a whale of a time, instead of being embittered about Jethro Tull.

If I'd never heard of JT, and watched the first 4 minutes....I'd be like. These guys are badass.

There just aren't any pro or even film crew recordings from 1972 or 73 are there?
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thre...-any-professional-recordings-or-video.242470/
Ian said that Chrysalis wouldn't put any money into recording / filming shows and he was too cheap himself.
Other than a brief bit of 16mm film shot and used for the Third Hoorah promo
(1973 footage) there are no pro-shot "Thick As A Brick" or "Passion Play"
shows waiting to be found.
There are quite a few bits of 8mm film stuff to be had, much of it up on the
web. As I think I mentioned in other threads, I attended 15 Brick and 12
Passion Play shows, armed with recorder, 8mm film and helpers. We also
managed some 1/2" video at a few "user-friendly" venues. None of it circulates.

That's what I thought I've always heard too.
There are a few audience recordings that are almost listenable if you are very hungry. Quite a few more that are... not.

The manager said, ‘Ian Anderson and the boys don’t want you in the band so you’ve been fired.’ I replied, ‘How can you fire me when I quit three weeks ago?’” Mick Abrahams’ life after Jethro Tull

I enjoyed this set. Note, I'm not a big fan of live albums.

Did you socialise with Tull offstage?
We were two proggy acts, and we were very comfortable with each other. We didn’t force a connection, it just happened. It made it so much easier, it meant we could get on backstage. We were amazed that Ian had his stage outfit in a box about two foot square. When it first appeared in the dressing room, we went, “Wait, you keep your clothes in there?” In those days we carried our own stage clothes around in a suit bag.
