Here's a thread. How about naming a Tull song which you personally love, but never heard live.
Mountain Men, from Crest of a Knave is my choice. I loved this track on first hearing, and especially enjoyed the way parts of it were used as background to the Skye bits of "Fish and Sheep and Rock 'n Roll". It segues beautifully into The Waking Edge.
In fact, I don't think they have ever player it live, unless I can be corrected.

I have never heard 'Acres Wild' Live...but I know they played it during one tour, briefly, in the early nineties...they did not play it the year Heavy Horses was released...I love this song and think the version I saw on you tube live was great...I wish i could see this one live
I missed live 'Lost in Crowds' by one day on the Rubbing Elbows tour...I hope I get another chance to see this song live.
Martin Barre, when asked about song selection, has more than once mentioned 'Nothing to Say 'as a song considered and mooted...I hope this one makes it's way into a playlist

Oh my goodness, lord knows there would be some few. Right at the top of my list would be Gift of Roses and the Dog Ear Years, in part because I consider them amongst their best, and also from a mere 11 years ago. If my burner was working I certainly would have grabbed one of the shows with Birthday Card at Christmas on it, I heard the people who gave it thumbs down, and I suspect they are the same ones who wanted to explain what a dismissable piece of crap Hare in the Winecup was, while quickly emphacizing the joys to be found in the latest Rush tour, or also recently read in Tull land, that both the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were the most over rated bands in history, beneath contempt. God what a strange set of ears and personalities make up Tull world, inclusive of some remarkably rude and ill informed individuals, with tentacles rarely reaching out of prog or classic rock land into other musics of merit. I have long felt that Birthday Card might work well live, however would not be surprised if it did not, especially if only played once or twice. Long had similar feelings for Saboteur, which I generally, like all of UW tend to be less than enthused about on the disc save for every tenth listen, but had good explosion out the box, and a wonderful lyric line. All of SFTW, particularly Bernies favorite and very honestly mine, Solstice Bells. Similar treatment for HH, and SW. A Time For Everything might be jolly too. Rosa on the Factory Floor, Looking For Eden, Two Short Planks, Broadford Bazaar, at least twenty others, it gets silly listing them, to late for this voice I still love on many, but not too late for a sound re invention.
