The missus likes Magic on in the morning, not much on there I enjoy but if this comes on I have to turn it up. One of my feel good tracks. https://youtu.be/S1a8QABKNo0
Yeh, they made that first video for the Slipstream DVD which came out in about 1980. Included a number of new videos for various old songs It is now available as a CD-R as part of the remastered 'A' album package.
I had Tull on my mind because I was due to see them last week on their retro "Prog Years" tour, but of course Covid has put paid to that. Tickets are apparently valid for revised date next May - a tad optimistic I think!

That’s a bummer, where were they playing?
I saw them at the Barbican when they performed the ‘Thick as a Brick’ album and then again at Shepherds Bush Empire. Brilliant at both gigs.
I've just spent the last few days going through the entire Beatles catalogue on Spotify and what a pleasure it was.
While their later albums may have been more accomplished their early stuff was just so joyous to listen too, pure pop and FAB, just like they were.
The only thing I've wondered about is why they had a need, certainly in their later output, to record songs so un Beatle like songs, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' springs to mind as does 'An Octopuses Garden'?
Wikipedia gives an explanation but doesn't completely define why they were included if the majority were against it. In regards to 'Maxwell' Lennon describes as Paul's granny music, he does have a point, even if it was/is relevant to Paul, the rest of the band hated it but it was still included on the album!

Nolan Porter -
Sounds like no overdubs have been added so gives a good representation of what it would have been like to be there.
These all get better every time I listen to them
Thanks for the reminder @Six-a-bag-of-nuts
Two versions of the same song, hadn't seen the first vid before and couldn't decide which to post.

They were due to play at the Lighthouse Theatre in Poole last Saturday.
Wow, would love to have been at those TAAB shows you saw.
I'm not a massive Steeleye Span fan, but I love this one
Great song.
