Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw ....I stand corrected by the Wikipedia....

‘Dear Jill’ (a favourite of mine to this day) was the next track we laid down and the nice thing about it was that by double-tracking the guitar, which was an Eko 12-string with only 9-10 strings on it (depending on my mood or how many strings I could afford on the day) it sounded akin to a modern chorus effect pedal which, coupled with Jack’s haunting soprano sax, made it into a solid stand up song. It was featured in Cameron Crowe’s movie Almost Famous as part of the background music to reflect the theme and time of the film.

I blame myself....and soprano sax isn’t an instrument I’ve had the pleasure to hear ’stood out’ like that often. I’ll go eat some worms.... ;( *L*

Done on an 8 track machine of the time.... but even before the remaster Dear Jill is a tasty number....*S*

I have that Blodwyn Pig album.  Bought it new in, I believe, 1972.  I bought it because of the song, Dear Jill, but the whole album is quite good.  I saw them in concert the same year, at The Swing Auditorium, in San Bernardino.  Seats were about 12 rows back from the stage and about 15 seats from center.  That soprano sax is a unique instrument.  It appears straight from mouthpiece to about 70% down, and then takes a rather sharp bend forward.  I played my copy about 8 months ago.  Now, I'll have to play it again!

Inspired by Bslon

I started thinking about Jethro Tull and the great live concert I attended

At the Nassau coliseum on long island a very long time ago.

Now listening to JT Live Bursting Out 1978
