Tough to top 'Wind Up' as a Wind up...but Strange Avenues is one of my favorite Tull songs ever.

Wind Up, for those of us gray hairs, was the final song of many a Jethro Tull tour of the 70's just as Cheerio has played them out in the 90's...but of course they actually played Wind Up to wind up the concert. Gets my vote.

Got the gray hairs and the memory of Wind Up as closer...and opener in 1975! I'll change my vote tomorrow...I just wanted to give Strange Avenues a vote...but Wind Up really should be the winner of this poll.....whoever adds the last Rupi and Xmas songs should also add Circular Breathing...or was it stormont shuffle at the end of SLOB?

Choosing the best is somewhat mysteriously an easier task than the worst, which as I now consider it, has several healthy challengers. Sometimes I'm surprised how much I like these guys ALL these years when I consider a morsel like the remarkably clumsy Raising Steam. Additionally an album such as Aqualung, which I heard on a very high rotation basis between 1971 - 3 I am not sure I can any longer give fair consideration to, it has long since morphed into something else in my perception, like product, not as much the challenging utterly unique work of art it seemed to be in 71. They just kept goosin old Aqualung and his friend Mary til he turned into a classic rock idiot, but at least a bitter one.

I've added Stormont Shuffle of SLOB to the list - just so's I can take a point off a fairly pointless last track Round 6 For a Thousand Mothers 10 Sossity ; You're a Woman 10 Wind Up 11 Nursie 10 Two Fingers 10 Grace 10 The Chequered Flag 11 Fire at Midnight 11 Weathercock 11 Elegy 11 And Further On 10 Cheerio 11 Different Germany 10 General Crossing 10 Raising Steam 8 Strange Avenues 11 When Jesus cam to Play 10 In The Times Of India (Bombay Valentine) 10 Another Harry's Bar 10 Gift of Roses 10 Stormont Shuffle 9 Two Short Planks 10 Winter Snowscape 10

Stormont Shuffle a throwaway track? I hardly think so. But considering I am someone who just watched a speech by ex USA VP Dick Cheney and found deep merit in it, though not moreso than the nearly concurrent speech by President Obama possibly I should not be allowed an opinion at all. But I do have a suspicious eye on that Nancy Pelosi.

Tull are great at last songs....so many of the last songs reflect thought and 'heaviness' at the end of an album.

There are a several which could only ever be the last track on the album and round those albums off just perfectly. Oddly I find most of the opening tracks don;t work so well in that respect (ie they could as well be mid album tracks) Round4 For a Thousand Mothers 10 Sossity ; You're a Woman 10 Wind Up 14 Nursie 10 Two Fingers 10 Grace 10 The Chequered Flag 11 Fire at Midnight 11 Weathercock 12 Elegy 13 And Further On 10 Cheerio 11 Different Germany 10 General Crossing 10 Raising Steam 6 Strange Avenues 11 When Jesus cam to Play 10 In The Times Of India (Bombay Valentine) 10 Another Harry's Bar 10 Gift of Roses 9 Stormont Shuffle 9 Two Short Planks 9 Winter Snowscape 10 Sticking with wind-up as best track to wind up an album with - and also the best to wind up a concert with

Maybe this should be split into last songs on album sides...to reflect the old days and the thought put into last songs on the side....'End Game, Slow Marching Band and Michael Collins all come to mind as songs given some thought as last song on the album side.

Wind up is the easy choice but....nothing is easy when comparing Tull songs.

Don't mind saying I was pretty touched reading about the American girl who had been held captive in Iran who kept herself sane in their nasty cell by silently singing the Star Spangled Banner to herself, welcome home honey, America loves you. Never take it for granted folks, these freedoms were very hard won, and at unspeakably hideous cost.

Go back to your 1971 thru 1975 bootlegs......I think 1975 included the shriek after the last word ( Sunday) and ian saying....'I enjoyed that'! To end a fantastic gig. Wind-Up, Back Door angels-Wind-up was a very strong encore.
