I saw Tull in concert for the 1972 Think as a Brick tour, an 18th birthday gift from my girlfriend (and later wife) at Memorial Collisium in Dallas. The opening act was The Eagles (yes, those Eagles). Amazing show! I saw them again several times over the years, as well as The Eagles.

Thank you, Bill, for playing this WHOLE thing. It's a journey and a half. I appreciate your taking us along for this epic ride. I've heard this album and the cuts a thousand times but hearing it all in one block like this really is mind-opening and gives me a new appreciation for the music and Ian's vision. 

I've been using JT as a model story for my young daughter about following your dreams (like playing flute as lead instrument in a rock band), so when this song came on, we listened to the flute parts with special interest.

Twenty minutes of Jethro Tull that nobody expected, and maybe didn't appreciate, but it brings me back to the days when radio was real, the DJs played what they wanted and our young minds were sent on a voyage of discovery. Thanks, RP for bringing that feeling back. I'm pledging another $20 bucks for that feeling. Keep it weird.

The best thing about this song is that it makes me stop listening to RP for awhile and go down the rabbit hole of YouTube to find the stuff I love hearing on RP mostly to hear how the bands perform the songs live.  My take on PSD.  Listening to this is more like PTSD.

So very good.
Ian and Marty always get the glory but each successive era of Tull was primarily defined by the ever changing roster of uniquely different keyboardists. John Evans brought a wonderful sense of pomp and circus stance (not a typo) to this era.

It's amazing when you listen after thirty years and realise that you recall not only all the words, but all the instrumentation, breaks, stops/starts, dynamics, everything.  And it isn't exactly repetitive.

Oh yes, formative years stuff!
I was a teenager in the early eighties, and scoured record libraries, family friends' record collections, second-hand record shops, *anything* for something more interesting than the prevailing music of the time.  That's where I discovered Jethro Tull (+ other prog & space rock) - this album was one of my favourites. 
I still enjoy listening to it now, even though I probably wouldn't choose to play it specifically.

Ericocean you're putting the good name Eric to shame. *smile* Both Joni and Tull are totally worth full album visits. I got introduced to Tull in 71 with the release of Aqualung - I was 11. I own all but the last two releases, have seen them 14 times, and if it wasn't for Ian's voice being shot would still go. Pity he can't just rescore for a lower range or produce a few more instrumental albums - his Divinities (12 Dances with God) album is indeed divine. That I'd award a 12.
