I got the Jethro Tull Warchild & Minstrel in the Gallery box sets for a present recently. They both have Steven Wilson remixes and 5.1 blah blah blah which I really could care less about. It's the unreleased bonus tracks that I get excited about. The Minstrel box includes a never before released Paris 1975 concert that I just cannot stop listening to! I much prefer it to Bursting Out (the "official" live Tull album from '78). Many years ago I bought a fantastic double album vinyl Tull bootleg called "A Sackful of Trousersnakes" from Anaheim 1977 and while the song selection was an A+ the recording quality was about a B. My fave thing about these mid 70's live Tull performances is the encore. It usually begins with Martin Barre playing a couple minutes of unaccompanied electric guitar...normally an arrangement of a familiar Bach theme...then they move into a medley that moves in and out of Back Door Angels, Locomotive Breath, and Wind Up finally ending on a reprise of Back Door Angels. Amazing stuff. Anyway, this Paris show is an A in song selection and an A+ in recording quality so is totally cool

I'm just a casual Tull fan. Thick As A Brick is in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. I absolutely adore that record. I also play Benefit and A Passion Play a fair bit. Other than that I have Aqualung and the 25th anniversary hits collection.
But .....Brick is just an untouchable piece of prog tomfoolery. I can play most of it on my guitar.
Tonight I am listening to Moondog. A strange sort of composer from new York with long hair and a beard. He got tired of continually being mistaken for Jesus so he started wearing a viking helmet to solve that problem. I never mistook him for Jesus though.

Today I'm buckling in to listen to one of George Harrison's bloody awful solo albums. Tonight it's Dark Horse. What the hell happened to him after Material World?!!

I heard Richard Dawson's "Poor Old Horse" last night. One of the most disturbing thing I have listened to ever.

My guess is that you liked one or two - possibly. I think the title track is a really good song but Harrison's voice is shot. He never did himself or his solo career to continue recording with the state of his voice and carry on with the US tour still in the same state.

Ian has always said Brick was a wind up on how silly prog concept albums were becoming. A wonderfully ironic bit of art imitating real life as they created the ultimate prog concept album by making fun of prog concept albums! Then they set out to actually create the real thing with Passion Play (and the Chateau D'Isaster recordings before it) which I love even more than Brick

Extra Texture is a great album. I particularly like This Guitar Can't Keep from Crying. Clearly this was the guitar sound he was trying to get for While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

"So come all ye young men go a-building castles. Kindly state the time of the year. And join your voices in the hellish chorus. Mark the precise nature of your fear" Oh that rascal Little Milton! (Me reading the St Cleve Chronicle recently)

Cool. I break out my old St Cleve Chronicle time to time as well. Still looking for that experimental non-rabbit that escaped from a van on the Linwell Road Monday

Still on a Miles Davis kick. Just so you know, if you like minimalism and psychedelic rock in epic proportions Then you need to hear: BIG FUN and GET UP WITH IT. Fantastic stuff.
Some people think you need to be on drugs to enjoy this stuff so I took an extra strength Tylenol, threw on BIG FUN and rocketed right into f(censor)n' orbit.
