3 - The Minstrel Years 1971-1975 aka The Jeffrey Hammond - Hammond Era

Would you believe Jethro Tull NEVER professionally recorded a show from this period? This is their prime! This is the era of Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, A Passion Play, Warchild and NO professional video OR EVEN soundboard audio of these tours has surfaced to this day
They did film about an hour's worth of footage in Paris in July of 1975 but except for the clip of Minstrel in the Gallery you'll see on this DVD, the rest of this footage has yet to surface.
This portion of the DVD set does include more 8mm footage (of the Brick and Passion Play tours) than I would've liked to have included but I felt  I HAD to address this time in the band's history one way or another. I'm hoping that Tull fans will view those performances for what they are, as historical documents of a time of the band's history that otherwise would've been visually lost forever and only remembered by the souls who were there.  We are very fortunate that some fans snuck in their 8mm/Super 8 cameras. 

Life's A Long Song, promotional video from 1971

- Thick As A Brick 8mm highlights, 1972-  from Rochester, New York USA.  Only about 6 minutes worth but very intereting to see Ian answering the phone in the middle of a performance.  Is there a Mike Nelson in the audience? There seems to be a fish on the line.
- A Passion Play 8mm highlights, 1973 - Several minutes of very good quality footage from various Passon Play shows in 1973.  All different parts of the album are shown particularly the Overseer Overture section.
- The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles, 1973 - he original film that was shown at the concerts the Passion Play tour.  Excellent quality!
- The Minstrel in the Gallery, Paris 1975 - about an hour and 10 minutes of footage was shot during November 1975.  This is all that has surfaced
