onto my radar scan cause we had a great prog rock station back in the early 70's here in Cleveland...

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.

16. greatest band ever

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.

21. Grrr

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!

30. I'm With Ya

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.

26. Hi, bridgit!

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"

34. girl howdy...

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

B-) ____________________ B-)

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...
