Hello, it has been a while. I was wondering if the man who recorded this concert was actually authorized since he clearly states the equipment used but a quick search yielded some interesting information that puts this in serious doubt. The microphone, which was high tech at the time, looks to be a little bigger than a sharpie pen or slightly smaller than an El Roi-Tan Banker cigar. The recorder, also high quality for the time, is about the size of a college dictionary and could run 15 continuous hours on 8 D cells. Hmmm... So what did he do? Hang the recorder around his neck under an Aqualung Cloak and fix the microphone in his hat after he got seated?! Yes it is 100% a bootleg/audience recording and not authorised by the band. Had it been official then the recording would have been sourced via the soundboard. rateyourmusic.com/list/TheScientist/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-bootlegs/

www.guitarworld.com/artists/how-martin-barres-exotic-approach-made-joe-satriani-stand-up-and-take-noticeHow Martin Barre's Exotic Approach Made Joe Satriani 'Stand Up' and Take Notice By Joe Satriani December 03, 2018
"Being a kid from New York I found his entire approach kind of exotic." Joe Satriani on the influence of Jethro Tull's Martin Barre on his playing.
I witnessed Martin Barre playing guitar with Jethro Tull at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island in July 1970. I think it was my second concert experience, and the venue was a “theater in the round” setup. They were in town on their Benefit tour. Martin’s sound and playing was just like it was on the Tull albums — exciting, earthy, stellar and unique. I was mystified by his perfect blend of electric blues, rock and some kind of British, renaissance-like folk style I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Being a kid from New York I found his entire approach kind of exotic. He was brilliant.
Jethro Tull were an unusual band to say the least, even in the context of the times, which were pretty crazy. Ian Anderson’s writing style was so musically adventurous but always solid. It was progressive stuff but with just the right amount of warmth and feel. Martin kept it real, gritty and grounded for me.
Stand Up is still my favorite from that era. Andy Johns produced and engineered that record and it has his unique sonic signature on it. Andy told me some great stories about the making of that record, which has only served to strengthen my connection to it. It’s funny how, as a fan, you can get stuck on one or two albums by your favorite band. Aqualung and Thick as a Brick were more popular with my friends and the rest of the world over time, but my memories of growing up and coming of age are tied to Stand Up and Benefit — and eight-track tapes!
As the summer of 1970 ended and school started, we lost Jimi Hendrix. That day, September 18, I decided to become a guitarist. As a young musician starting out, looking for inspiration, I was fortunate to have Martin’s guitar playing to inspire me, illuminating all the different ways to play guitar and create musical magic. Thank you, Martin Barre!

ultimateclassicrock.com/ian-anderson-reactivated-jethro-tull-name/Ian Anderson has explained why he decided to release the upcoming album The Zealot Gene as a Jethro Tull album, nearly a decade after winding the band down. Since 2012 he’d been releasing new material under his own name. But the new LP, which features longstanding members of his solo band, will appear on Jan. 28 as a Jethro Tull record – the first except for archive material to use it since The Jethro Tull Christmas Album in 2003. He’s the only classic-era member to remain in the lineup. “I decided this would be a Jethro Tull album primarily because it was a band album,” Anderson said in an official interview, which you can see below. “It was always intended to be on the progressive side of rock music [with] the band playing live in the studio.” He continued: “[T]he members of the band have all played with me for – well, three of them for 15 years, and one of them for only 11 years. This is the longest-surviving lineup of any version of Jethro Tull in terms of musicians that we’ve ever had. So it seemed appropriate to honor the long-standing relationship with this group of musicians by releasing it as a Jethro Tull album. Certainly it wasn’t something I would have thought of as being a solo album, just because it did incorporate much more of the band performance ethic.” He added: “And that was it, really. A lot of water’s gone under the bridge since the earliest days of Jethro Tull; but I think all of these musicians can very truly consider themselves [as] really a part of Jethro Tull, the ‘brand name.’ The band and the brand are illuminated in this recording, which I hope people will enjoy.” When Anderson agreed a deal with InsideOut Music earlier this year, he commented: “After 54 years in the world of music recording, it is with great pleasure that I now sign Jethro Tull to a record company which reminds me, in many ways, of the old Chrysalis label – both as an independent and in its later years in partnership with EMI. Here are real music guys with a passion for the best and most creative in rock music. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship and more releases to come.” Watch Ian Anderson Discuss Jethro Tull’s ‘The Zealot Gene’

Is Joe on this album? Isn’t that him singing the title track with Ian in the live rendition post? I think whomever those vocals belong to fits really well with Ian. Also having Ian’s portrait and profile featured so prominently on the album does not help when trying to deliver the Tull brand vs. those who insist it’s a solo album. If I understand correctly, Florian has guitar duties on the album and that Joe, and probably David, help out with vocals in a concert setting. And I agree with you about the cover design. It does give the thought that at one time it may have been considered for release by just Ian but wiser heads prevailed ?

Based on votes and around 140 comments, we summed this one up into a top 20 list. 19. Jethro Tull - Locomotive BreathHey, Jethro Tull did win a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in the late 1980s. So they are pretty heavy, right? But all the jokes aside, "Locomotive Breath" did make a huge impact on hard rock and heavy metal.

In like Flynn for this. The classic edition, if the £30 price tag is correct, is worth every penny. A book for the (Dark) ages. The Signature edition… well, that's up to the conscience of the individual buyer! My copy of Silent Singing (Classic edition) arrived today. Lots of interesting reading as the nights draw in and we get ready to ring out solstice bells.

somethingelsereviews.com/Martin Barre on playing second fiddle to a flute: ‘I’m sort of like the George Harrison of Jethro Tull’JANUARY 19, 2013 BY SOMETHING ELSE! Guitarist Martin Barre might be the most underrated member of any legacy progressive-rock group. Not only has he played a key role in some of Jethro Tull’s signature moments, he is — other than Ian Anderson — the band’s longest-tenured member. Yet Tull, for better or worse, will always be associated with Anderson and his flute. Even the song credits belong almost solely to Anderson, though it has become clear over the intervening years that Barre made important contributions to the band’s breakout recording Aqualung, while keyboardist Jon Evan was a central presence on 1972’s Thick as a Brick. Barre has actually performed on every Jethro Tull album going back to 1969’s Stand Up, their second effort. Before that he was briefly in a group called Fat Matress, which featured Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix group. The auditions to replace original Jethro Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams also included Tony Iommi (later of Black Sabbath fame) and the Nice’s David O’List, but it would be Barre who would win the job — eventually putting his indelible stamp on tracks like “Aqualung” and the propulsive “Locomotive Breath.” Barre’s most recent solo album was 2003’s Stage Left. More recently, the guitarist has been touring with his own group New Day, a venture that lets Barre’s instrument take center stage. But, make no mistake, there are no hard feelings. Barre, in a new reader Q&A with Guitar World, talked about understanding his role in the broader band dynamic. “I’m a team player. I’m a great believer in giving other musicians space, and I always play for the song,” Barre says. “My approach to guitar is like dentistry: if there’s a hole, I’ll fill it. I’m sort of like the George Harrison of Jethro Tull. If I have a nice rhythm part to play, I put a lot of care and attention into it. I get a great deal of enjoyment playing supportively and knowing lots of great chords and knowing how to play behind solos, whether it’s a flute, keyboard or another instrument.” The Quiet Beatle would be proud.
