One of my favorite instrumentals of all time.

You are getting very accomplished and polished at this Tull stuff should Mr Anderson be getting concerned or will we see a Tour by the collective Jennifer's?
 
Nice stuff Ed good job

cool cover!
not quite as tight as the 'living in the past' cover, but that's kinda the nature of that song anyway, with the steady snare beat keeping everything in line..
 
i'd kinda like to hear a less fuzzy, more naturally clean and overdriven guitar tone....
but that's a subjective nit pick
martin just played a paul straight into a Hiwatt, eh?
it's a hard tone to cop.
 
i like these cover projects! good work

Actually, it was Townshend that used Hiwatts (though Martin may have as well), but I remember him for playing Cornford's (he almost got me to buy one). 
 
Another success for Dupp & the Tillies!

seems there were a few variations.....

Xmas 1968 - I joined Jethro Tull and had recently bought a very tatty Gibson Les Paul special circa late 1950’s. Previously my friend Dan had lent me his immaculate white one but sensibly wouldn’t sell it to me. I had an early Laney 50 watt head, which I linked to a box 2 x 12” cabinet.
 
1969 - In January we started our first gigs playing with Jimi Hendrix; I still had my orange “Special” but had borrowed a monster 200 watt HiWatt, again not for sale.  I ran it through a 4 x 12” Hi Watt Cab.  We recorded Stand Up, no F/X except a Jim Dunlop wah wah in “We Used to Know”.
 
1970 - Same amps but I bought a Les Paul custom; it was a fake and didn’t stay in the collection very long! But I used it on Benefit.  I started using a Hornby Skewes Treble Booster, which gave the HiWatts a bit of a kick.  Unfortunately they picked up radio perfectly. Any gig within a mile of a radio station was a disaster!
I also started using an old Watkins Copycat echo – more noise!
 
1971 saw the Aqualung Album. I had met Leslie West and the result of much admiration from myself resulted in me buying a 1958 les Paul Junior – the Aqualung guitar. X Eyed Mary was played with an unnamed amp about 12” x  6”! My God through a Fender Super, and the rest through HiWatt plus the trusty? Hornby Skewes, Thick as a Brick and Passion Play – were both classic sounds.
 
1959 Les Pauls and HIWatt! No F/X Minstrel in the Gallery was played on a vintage Les Paul Standard and for Too Old to Rock and Roll I finally made the transition to Marshall 50 watt Heads and, of course 2 x 12” cabs. I also played a Fender Broadcaster on Taxi Grab and a Hamer Explorer Serial number 0002 bought, of course, from my great friend Paul Hamer. Occasionally a MXR phase 90 or Flanger crept in!

I think that one was from their Stand Up album - one of my favorites. Nicely done everyone.
