Jethro Tull. One of my top five bands of all time.
If you ever wondered whether people (like maybe your grandparents? HA!) actually dressed all hippie-dippie in the late 60s, the answer is a qualified yes. Some of them, anyway. Here is evidence.
Jethro Tull - Witches Promise, 1970
Granted, Ian Anderson (the frontman on flute) looks like he's in a bathrobe, but the bass player is all decked out, an the guitarist's and drummer's hats are classic. This is about the most tricked-out video I have seen of them, so it's the right one for a Friday.
I saw Tull in concert in 1989. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Two hours of solid music. The band took breaks in shifts, and there was always someone or a small group on stage rocking it out. For a band of five people, they put on quite a show.
Everybody tell DJ $penca to listen to more Tull. :)
