Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 LOVE TULL. Benefit is one of my favourite albums of all time. It has that magic blend of bucolic folk, prog & rock that I love. Homo Erraticus is growing on me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Played six (6) Tull albums yesterday :hail: I view Stand Up and Benefit as being cut from the same cloth -- I prefer the former by a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) cannot wait for this. arguably my favorite Tull album A Passion Play (2xCD+2xDVD) This beautifully packaged 2CD/2DVD case-bound book expanded edition of A Passion Play includes the original album and earlier Château d'Hérouville Sessions both of which have been mixed to 5.1 surround sound and new stereo mixes by Steven Wilson. http://files.teamrock.com/images/696d616765-5388541aed4318.37152957/640x360.jpg Edited June 23, 2014 by Rushman14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a guess which song played on my walkman back then? Tull appreciation. :musicnote: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Ian Anderson isn't the only one out there doing stuff. There's a new Live album "Order of Play" from Tull guitarist Martin Barre released today, featuring a bunch of Tull classics, as well as other stuff. Just ordered a copy. http://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2014/09/gig-review-martin-barre-band-lomax-liverpool-6-september-2014/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I have always liked Tull, but I can't say that I ever dug really deep into their catalog. Recently, a friend shared a youtube link to "Conundrum" from the "Bursting Out" live album that contains a drum solo. http://youtu.be/5cLDlqoTU8U <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5cLDlqoTU8U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Now, as a drummer that started by worshipping Neil Peart (circa 1981), I have always loved his Exit Stage Left solo (which had evolved from prior tours.) But I have to say I was pretty surprised by some of what I heard Barrimore Barlow doing in his solo on this song (circa 1978.) In particular with the concert toms, and some of the double bass work that occurs in the second half of the solo - is very reminiscent of what Neil was doing a few years later. I know Neil has mentioned that he liked Tull (and is friends with Doane Perry, current Tull drummer) but I really have to wonder how much influence Barrimore Barlow had on Neil's solos of that era. For me, as a drummer, the similarity is unmistakable. Does anyone else hear it? Also, any other Tull / Rush ties?

Cyclonus X-1 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Also, any other Tull / Rush ties? I can't think of any specific musical ones, but Geddy has said that he was a huge fan of Thick as a Brick and of that period of Tull in general. I love how Tull used to incorporate drum solos into their music. There would be a musical framework for the solo—and the context itself would be awesome. For instance, in Conundrum, the guitar riffs leading up to the solo are amazing and always get stuck in my head. And the solos feel like natural parts of the whole composition rather than segments where one guy bangs on drums while everyone else gets a breather. Dharma for One on their debut album, with Clive Bunker on drums, is another excellent example of all this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-lU1IPjRbk They reworked Dharma for live performances and added vocals—and it worked incredibly well. Regarding the idea of Barlow influencing Peart, I'm not a drummer, but I do think I can hear the similarities in their respective solos that cygnify is referring to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Going to see Ian Anderson/jethro tull tomorrow night. Just got my ticket. Anyone been to a show on this current tour that can fill me on how it was? Tunes? How was Ian and the band? Heard someone recently eat that his voice isn't a strong anymore.To be expected I suppose.A superb performer in his hey day,who wrote some terrific songs,and albums.Love anything from This Was up to Broadsword,but personal favourite is Stand Up.Great band Jethro Tull.

Relayer2112 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 These days...Ian can do little more than talk. If you watch any clips on youtube of him performing on the Thick as a Brick 2 tour, you can't help but get a sore throat yourself...he struggles that much to sing anything.
