Carnegie Hall, N.Y. (1970)
Prime Time Live Show… Plus
Originally released in the now out-of-print 25th Anniversary Boxed Set, disc two, Carnegie Hall, N.Y., captures Jethro Tull’s last gasp as a blues/rock band, just prior to morphing into conceptual medieval-prog-rockers. Despite the Jurassic baggage they carry around now as elder statesmen, they really were a great band back in the day. Especially live, and especially with keyboardist John Evan, who’s present here. With showy flute trills, on-stage gymnastics and sudden time shifts unusual for a “blues band,” Jethro Tull routinely pulled out all the stops and got famous for their efforts. Their 1972 double album, Living In The Past, featured two tracks (an additional 20 minutes) from this same concert that was not shoehorned into the Carnegie Hall, N.Y. disc. Hear why old guys with ponytails still talk reverently about Jethro Tull. The original box set is overpriced @ Amazon.

Yess!!! Finally, a decent sounding live document from Tull's golden period! This is like sawdust on top of the puke that was last week's Jewel entry. We can all still smell it, and we know it's down there, but now we can just ignore it and move on. Well done, Willard.
Great live set-thanx a lot!!

I loved (and still do) that 25th Anniversary Box Set. I've always been a Tull head… my 1st experience was the Original Masters CD from like '85 I believe, then Aqualung… the rest is history! Thanks for the extra 2 tracks Cap!
P.S. I sport a buzz cut… think the oldies with ponytails will still accept me? :)
Very good!
Thanks very much
The version of "Nothing Is Easy" that opens the show is LETHAL. Just great.
Hey Good Captain
Would it be possible to re-up this and the “Chateau” tapes?
No worries if you don’t want to or can’t, and thanks in advance whatever you decide!
Sure. Check back tonight.
Thanks Willard
New Tull links up. Thanks Don.
Much obliged Captain!
I wish you would post a want list so I can see if I have anything you would be interested in, because I,like many of us here, would love to be able to return the favors!
Thanks. Truth is… I have too much as it is.
Part of the reason I haven’t been downloading or posting much new stuff.
Great idea. If you want to fit all this on one disc I suggest deleting the useless 8-minute (!) Guitar Solo.
re-up please?
new link up.
!
grateful
