The All Jethro Tull Thread

[JohnN]

This might not be the appropriate place to ask and I'll understand if this is deleted.

Have any audience recordings from 1972 or 1973 (Brick and Passion Play tours) that have maybe above average fidelity been unearthed?

The band maybe has one board tape from 1973? (With one track released on 25 Years of JT set.)

Have any audience recordings from 1972 or 1973 (Brick and Passion Play tours) that have maybe above average fidelity been unearthed? I wish!

The Five Heaviest Prog Rock Bands of All Time

Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick (1972)​

Obviously, Jethro Tull began their reign as the leading ambassadors of progressive folk/rock with 1971’s Aqualung (thanks to “Mother Goose,” “My God,” “Wond’ring Aloud” and course, “Aqualung”). It didn’t completely represent that designation, though, whereas follow-up Thick as a Brick did. By forgoing much of their prior hard/blues rock forcefulness in favor of delivering a majestic 44-minute tongue-in-cheek conceptual piece (broken into two halves), Thick as a Brick aided in popularizing more than a few key prog rock properties.

Created in part as a satire of the style’s extravagancies, Thick as a Brick’s fictional tale of a schoolboy who writes a newsworthy poem actually houses some profound insights about the journey from childhood to adulthood. Beyond that, both “Part One” and “Part Two” see frontman/mastermind Ian Anderson and company creating some of the most delightfully hypnotic and ambitious music and melodies in the genre’s history.

There are also a handful of recurring themes spread across its runtime, and if not for 1973’s divisive work of genius (A Passion Play), Thick as a Brick would absolutely be Jethro Tull’s magnum opus.

The band maybe has one board tape from 1973? (With one track released on 25 Years of JT set.)

The Passion Play extract on the 25 Years box set isn't from 1973 - it's from the Paris 1975 show that was later released in full (well, almost since one of the reels was missing) on the Minstrel in the Gallery box set.

Since us US fans are left “stuck in the August rain” on the Xmas box, I started thinking about what the ‘next’ Tull book set might be. 2025 is the 30th anniversary of both Roots to Branches and Divinities and it seems the perfect time to commemorate them in a huge book set ! I can dream, can’t I ?

We think alike.
