Hi Chet,

Saw Jethro Tull a few times in the seventies,
What a great bunch, I like their first 4 albums best
This Was
Stand up
Benifit
Aqualung
I haven't thought of that band in quite a while.

Cheers.

I wasn't a big fan of them back then, but I did like their music. I just don't remember the blues stuff they did.

Hi Chet,

Those first 2 are about the bluesiest with
foundation of Celtic folk and Jazz. I kinda
lost touch of the band after the bicentenial
maybe the newer stuff is more traditional
bluesy---I can't say.

Cheers.

I'd say that only the very first album was their "blues years."

Benefit was one of two albums that made me want an electric guitar: I was all-acoustic all the time until I heard Martin Barre's tight, controlled riffing on that record (and EC's playing on the "Beano" album, which was the other one).

I dug them all to pieces through Thick As A Brick, which I still think is pretty much brilliant, but lost interest after that.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't have a bigger comeback after Crest of the Knave. It was a good return album. I had no Idea they ever did a bluesey album, I'll have to check out thier early stuff.

Saw them when I just just a boy, aged 11 and a few years back again when I was 20. Love Aqualung and Martin Barre.

Both times were here in Belfast, Ireland.

There was a live album put out 3 or 4 years ago that is their performance at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970. This is the festival that has a film of it floating around somewhere - Hendrix's last great live performance.

Tull does a pretty damn good live set with lots of energy and a bluesy feel to some of the songs.
"Nothing is Easy" is the title of the CD.
