A Song for Jeffrey - Jethro Tull 🎶

I saw this moments ago on PBS (public television) as part of their re-play of the Rolling Stones & friends,
"ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS" - with Beatles, Who, more...

After finding some nice remixes (but no video) I found this, authentic show clip. Enjoy.
If you're in the US &/or can access PBS streaming... Several stations are airing it. (Pledge time!)

Meanwhile... apropos nothing (beyond some sharing of interesting instruments and instrumentation)... this from Netwitch (DE)

Banda Internationale - Mali chugul bil soug - إلهام المدفعي مالي شغل بالسوق

"Banda Internationale" is a music project of refugees from all over the world and the Dresden based Brassband "Banda Comunale". This is their answer to xenophobia, hatred, racism, islamophobia and all the other idiotisms happening now in our city.

Because...
Tip of the iceberg from an album I tried to remember the name of for years...

Sort of a cross between Genesis (wall of sound), Pink Floyd (vocals), and say Buckingham or McGuinn on guitar/12 string, and Who/Kinks 'rock opera'. Some traces of Traffic as well, part of the overall 60's/70s tapestry. Hm, Pearly Queen reference?

Fidgety Queen

This is my decades old ear-worm, finally free at last. Came to me like nectar from the gods... (Tnx EL!)
Carnival time! (Bit of "Frankenstein" too?)

This is cued up to "Fidgety Queen", a good introduction for the many who have never heard (of) this band.
The track is part of the entire album here; you can let it play on to a lovely guitar song ("Oh Willy") and then a ballad/anthem which features the 12-string and lovely tune, with a refrain which reminds me of Floyd or maybe David Bowie.... Little Boy...
*Gently slip away"

If you get hooked, go back and start at the beginning; starts off strong (Astral Man) and weaves from song to song like a real 'rock opera', IMM at the time, like a circus. Headphones or good/loud speakers strongly recommended. 🎧 This is the #70s (when I was in the biz, and heard this in a studio and later at rock festivals... ) Great album, finally recalled (been online 3 years now I see) Enjoy

An old fave, as we go slipping away down music lane...

Ian Anderson - Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day (Orchestral Jethro Tull)

Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day

Meanwhile back in the year one
When you belonged to no one
You didn't stand a chance, son
If your pants were undone

'Cause you were bred, for humanity
And sold to society
One day you'll wake up, in the present day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be

Skating away, skating away, skating away
On the thin ice of the new day

So as you push off from the shore
Won't you turn your head once more
And make your peace with everyone
For those who choose to stay
Will live just one more day
To do the things they should've done
And as you cross the wilderness
Spinning in your emptiness
If you have to, pray
Looking for a sign, that the universal minds
Has written you into the passion play

Skating away, skating away, skating away
On the thin ice of the new day

And as you cross the circle line
Well, the ice wall creaks behind
You're a rabbit on the run
And the silver splinters fly
In the corner of your eye
Shining in the setting sun
Well, do you ever get the feeling
That the story's too damn real
And in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage
And it seems like you're the only
Person sitting in the audience?

Skating away, skating away, skating away
On the thin ice of the new day

Skating away, skating away, skating away
