Ditto on that Maybe Ian found a place that had the best pancakes ever....you know....to die for! hahahahahahaha  I still want to know if there were EVER recordings of "Tomorrow was Today" (a great lead-in to Hymn 43) or "Hard Headed English Generals" Both started as showing up in the 71 live sets anyone ever hear that they were anything but? Maybe Doomsday Pancake was one of those? Ian never announced them by title. Darin Note that according to the liner notes, Pancake was recorded just before Hymn 43. Since live TwT ran into Hymn 43, I wonder if indeed Pancake was the basic track for TwT. If they don't release it, it would be great if we could get Steve Wison to listen to boot tracks of TwT and HHEG to see if either one matchs Pancake. Steve, if you're a member of this forum, you can hear the boot mp3s on www.cupofwonder.com under "unreleased". |

www.omaha.com/article/20120117/GO/701179895Published Tuesday January 17, 2012 RECORD REVIEWS Jethro Tull "Aqualung: 40th Anniversary Collectors' and Special Editions" (EMI) Forty years old now, Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" is justly famous and justly notorious. It's famous for its ambition, its treetop playing, and for being one of the few early-'70s concept albums that (a) really did have a coherent, worthwhile concept, and (b) said profound things about it via pop music. For many, though, it also marks the moment progressive rock jumped the shark. The title track, with its angular chording, sneering vocals, and too-clever breaks, is now rendered a permanent joke via radio overplay. "Aqualung" might be the one time pop touched the face of God — but snot is running down its nose. The sour smell of excess does not, however, overwhelm a headlong, flamboyant collection by a group of musicians ready to try anything. This package is worth having just for that. "Aqualung" goes overboard and marks a turning point for a band that, with "Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play," would soon ditch its hard-earned audience. These packages let us in on a terrific moment, and the extra features are fascinating. Aqualung is like a train without a brake — it won't stop going, no way to slow down. — John Timpane, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Wow thanks for the scan, tootull. It's probably been forever since Tull last had a 5 star album review in a published magazine  |
