Wall'O'Tull

I'm in a very odd sort of mood tonight (which in and of itself is not that odd) so I've been cruising the various video sites looking for early performances from some of my favorite artists. In doing so I stumbled upon a bunch of old Jethro Tull on YouTube. It's really amazing to watch these old videos of Ian Anderson and the gang, some dating back almost 40 years. I wonder how or why Ian Anderson started perching on one leg like a flamingo when he starts really getting into one of his flute solos?

Jethro Tull appearing on Beat Club (1970)
Jethro Tull — Bouree (French TV, 1969)

Jethro Tull — Song For Jeffrey (Rolling Stones' Circus, 1968)
Jethro Tull — Quizz Kid and Crazed Institution (1976 TV special)

That IS a good question. I mean, it can't be that comfortable without something to prop his leg on, right?
Okay, I must be wrong, considering he's been doing it for like 40 years...

I love the videography (or would it have been cinematography in 1970?) in the Beat Club performance. Everything about it... the lighting, the color palette, the set, the use of mirrors and other effects. It's really very artfully done. And of course, I love the way Ian Anderson's eyes bug out. Seriously, he and Marty Feldman could have been twins.
