I like these guys. Not exactly sure why, but I think all the brass instruments and some classical roots might have a factor in it. The lead singer (Ian Anderson) is a bit whacky, but he seems really into the music. Until I did a search on these guys recently, I wasn’t sure what songs they created (that I might have heard). Of couse, this was followed by me saying “oh, they sing that? That too?”. You know how that goes. 🙂
Talk about being 45 years late to the party. 🙂 Below are three movie clips, one of which is from 1970, and thus it’s 2006 right now, that puts me like I said, about 45 years late to the party. 🙂
I’m debating whether or not this guy is – or was – on drugs. What do you think?
I’m going to say that he might have been on drugs for the making of this video – may be a just-lower-than-lethal brew of coke, acid and shrooms. However, in concert, I don’t think it’s possible for a human being to be that heavily medicated and be that good at playing all sorts of various instruments.
Here are the three video clips. Note: These are stored locally here, so please do not link to my website and use my bandwith. Instead, (on an x86 machine – thats a machine that runs Windows for all you non-geeks) right-click, “save as” to your own machine. Thanks!
