Ha! As if we'd let them just fade away... It has been fairly quiet around here, tootull - and who knows why.....? Have to hold my own hand up cuz I haven't posted much anywhere, let alone here. But I have read these reviews and want to thank you for adding them. They're enjoyable reads.

No replies to A Jethro Tull Appreciation Thread on a Tull forum. I read no news today, oh boy. About an unlucky band that just faded away. ;D Fatel era whye keele? Tull don't fade away. Like all bands the have good times and bad times and sometimes there is just no news. Seems pointless sometimes to invent threads just for the sake of it but your appreciation ones hit the nail on the head and imo there's no real need to comment. Keep posting as it helps any newcomers to the Tull catalogue appreciate the music and may keep some of us "silver surfers" on our toes. And . . . . further to my bit on the Blackpool thread, we discussed yesterday the possibility of folks having very rare, and in some cases unheard items, lurking on reel to reel tapes and the good old trusty cassette tapes. In days gone by you could almost guarantee that every Tull performance would have been taped but I wonder if that is the case today. Comments anyone, or do you have anything "unusual" you'd like to own up to owning ;D Tereba nessa Maddog ps. I still want to decipher the extra verse that Ian sang on Fat Man in some concerts in 1970. Anyone help with that? If we still had a karma rating you'd get a load for that

I have the fat man with an extra verse...exactly as you theorize, in a drawer full of unmarked, dusty cassettes....I'll track it down, crank the cut and see if i can figure out the lyric...It can't be too hard...not the most sophisticated song in history and i don't remember the performance nor boot being notably murky....might just need some attention...get back to you on that soon, sir....
BTW---I agreed to adopt the Tot-Spurs as my English team and they had their best season in ages .... must be connected to my mainmens (FC StP.-) ascension to the bundesliga...Their stadium, in the punk/hippie/auslander neighborhood of hamburg is known as the 'whorehouse of the league'...see how that plays in the big time....but they'll probably be forced to share the modern stadium with the crosstown HSV team....generic and boring!

The Tot-Spurs....you almost make them sound like some kind of potato-y pub grub, steelmonkey.

I'll leave that in your capable hands Steel. With reference to "The Dead", they always had a policy of allowing audience members to tape their shows - shame IA and the others never had that open policy. But I still reckon there's more out there in cupboards, lockers, safes etc that would satisfy the enquiring minds of Tull fans. The Child of My Garden song from last year is a prime contender as is some of the John Evan Band/Candy Coloured Rain music. Anyone own up to having it ?

Something I've often wondered about with all these different mixes about in the marketplace - who actually authorises people to do these. Is it a band's management or the artist(s) themselves ? Surely if a band or singer records an album of original songs written by that artist/band, and the final mix is agreed upon and the disc pressed up for distribution then that should, in theory, be the end of the matter. By all means improve the sound with updated technology but not mess around with the original intent of the artist(s) involved in the recording.

From "An Utterly Impartial History of Britain" by John O'Farrell
One of the first milestones of the Agricultural Revolution was the invention of the seed drill by Jethro Tull. It is one of the great sadnesses of modern history teaching that classrooms of school students no longer start singing 'Living in the Past' and miming the flute every time the history teacher says 'Jethro Tull'. Now they have to wait until they get to the origins of the First World War and start singing 'Take Me Out' whenever the teacher mentions Franz Ferdinand. But long before he was a hippy folk-rock band, Jethro Tull transformed agriculture with a contraption that planted seeds in orderly lines, making it easier to hoe out the weeds that had previously choked the wheat and barley.* It was the must- have Christmas present for farmers in the early 1700s.
'Happy Christmas, darling. Here, I got you an iPod.' 'I don't want an iPod, I wanted a seed drill.'
Up to this point farming methods had changed very little since medieval times when the ancient crop-rotation system had left one field in three fallow to recover after a year growing barley or oats. This was clearly a very inefficient use of available land, unless the farmers were particularly enterprising and managed to hire it out for paint-balling or quad bikes. But now the youngsters were getting into the groovy new methods of crop rotation being imported from Flanders.
'Oh, Dad! Leaving fields fallow is, like, soooo seventeenth century . . . We should use the extra field to grow clover or turnips, that's the latest thing; they actually add nutrients to the soil.' 'Ooh, I can't keep up with all this change. First horses replace oxen, then iron ploughs, what will Heathrow Farm be like in two hundred years, I wonder!'
* In fact Jethro Tull 'reinvented' the seed drill; a similar device had also been developed in Ancient China.
