Jethro Tull released their classic "Aqualung" 50 years ago today!

[the other mike]

Neil Young released an album that year too...The Golden Rush? something like that

Funny that you mention Neil Young here - my friend Jeff was pissed at me
for getting us 2 Jethro Tull tickets instead of Neil Young tickets that went on sale the same day.
I only had enough for one concert at the time- they both sold out and he blamed me for not getting to see NY for a long time after that.

Ya, I know. It just happened so damn fast. I guess the denture commercials and life insurance commercials on every thing I watch on TV is a constant reminder any way. Funny how that goes I remember when I got beer commercials with hot chicks. Now it's adult depends and denture commercials. Lol. The last rock concert I went to was filled with grey hairs people. I remember when it was super hot chicks ripping their shirts off. Now it's grandma dancing. What's worse is I am old too and think ya she moves pretty well. Lol

The Crazy Horse --Rust Never Sleeps era....I guess it was his heavy band tour.

It seems like everybody I knew had that album my freshman year in college.

I have worked with Ian and the band at least 4 times. Starting in the 90s.

They are fun to work with but don't tick off Ian. He has a very scary temper.

 

[Dana7360]

I can’t believe Jethro Tull is not in the R&R HOF

What are they thinking?

It could be his temper.

He has a very explosive and scary temper.

I've seen it off and on stage.

Neil Young released an album that year too...The Golden Rush? something like that

That is titled After the Gold Rush. Which is the title song to that album.

Neil made it a hit. Then years later a group of nuns made it a hit again.

Here is the song.

Nothing scarier than an angry flute player

If you have either seen his temper or experienced it inflicted on you, you wouldn't say that.

I love his music but his temper is very scary. The last time I witnessed that temper was in 2005 and the last time I agreed to work with him.

He never directed his temper at me but there is just so many times I could take that explosive temper.

temper can be a good thing! if it is passionate!

temper can be a good thing! if it is passionate!

But it can be a bad thing when objects are being violently thrown.
