Jethro Tull: Living With The Past

Jethro Tull: Living With The Past

2002 · ★ 8.6 · Music

A veritable feast awaits fans of Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull on this elaborate DVD package, which boasts extensive concert footage and a load of extras. The focal point is nearly two hours of performances, filmed in late 2001 (primarily in London, with additional material from several other locations) and featuring material from the band's entire lengthy career, including such staples as "Aqualung" and "Bouree." The current Tull incarnation (featuring, as always, Anderson on vocals, flute, and sundry other instruments) takes center stage; there are also a couple of numbers with a string quartet, and even a small-club reunion of the lineup that made the group's very first album back in 1968. Interviews with band members, testimonials from rabid fans, photos, and even an option for viewing a Tull performance from three different audience points of view are among the generous helping of extra features.

Jethro Tull: Live At Montreux 2003

Jethro Tull is one of the most successful British acts of all time with a career reaching from the late sixties to the present day. In 2003 they made their first (and so far only) visit to the Montreux Festival. As ever Ian Anderson leads from the front with his instantly recognizable voice and inimitable style of one-legged flute playing. Split into a semi-acoustic first half and a full on electric second half, the concert was a triumph combining newer songs such as “Dot Com”, “Pavane” and “Budapest” with classic favorites.

Jethro Tull Their Fully Authorized Story

Fourth in the classic artists series: Jethro Tull, from being one of the hottest blues-rock bands of the late 60s to touring with Led Zep, to holding the record for the number of consecutive nights at the la forum, to the first live concert broadcast worldwide, to nearly bringing down the grammys, the life and times of legendary, indefinable rock band Jethro Tull has rarely been dull. Forty years, 2000 gigs, 19 albums, 25 members, 20 million sales & a sex change since a ramshackle group of spotty youths armed with nothing but a bunch of great tunes & a flute launched themselves onto an unsuspecting public at the marquee club in 1968, the key players in their long & illustrious history give for the first time, their side of a complex & intriguing story.

Butcher House · 2006

In the 1960's at Arthur Kingston's old butcher house blood and guts were routine. That all changed one night when the blood spilled was human. At the hand of a murderous, rampaging butcher, two workers and the owner's son were killed. The factory was shut down. Decades pass. The massacre became a legend, but the abandoned butcher house still held the evil in its halls. As six teenagers explore the old butcher house, they unleash the horror that lies within.

Jethro Tull: Under Wraps (The Unwrapped Edition)

Under Wraps threw Jethro Tull fans a curveball on release with its embrace of the electronic sounds of the day and synthetic production. It was also the first Tull album since This Was that wasn’t mostly written by Anderson alone, with keyboardist Peter-John Vettese credited on seven of the songs. But for fans who’d heard Anderson’s first solo album, Walk Into Light (which featured five Vettese co-writes), the synth textures of Under Wraps felt like a natural progression. Meanwhile, Ian Anderson’s lyrics reflected his fascination with Cold war spy novels, rooting the songs firmly in the early ’80s. Under Wraps and Walk Into Light have been revamped for the new edition, with two sets of stereo remixes by Bruce Soord that use more natural, traditional ‘2026’ drums and the original drum sounds

Jethro Tull: Story of the Hare who Lost his Spectacles

MovieFantasyMusic

'Nonsense' piece inserted between Acts Two and Three of Jethro Tull's A Passion Play, which bears no relation to the rest of The Play. In 1973 concerts, the band left the stage after Act Two and a filmed version of 'The Hare...' was shown. A spoken-word comedic interlude (narrated by Jeffrey Hammond with an exaggerated Lancashire accent) backed by instrumentation. Presented as an absurd fable, the interlude details (with much wordplay) the failure of a group of anthropomorphic animals to help a hare find his missing eyeglasses.
