The song is not only technically perfect in the acoustic version, but also conveys the underlying feeling.

Fanastic rendition as always. Thank you - I didn't realise how much I like the song.

It contains some lovely counter-intutive chord transitions. Just a great, poignant sound.....

Stewart, brilliant as usual! I'm so appreciative of your enthusiasm for JT, but also the education you provide. Always considered "The Waking Edge" as one of Ian's most underrated haunting songs. That 20-second stretch starting at around the 3:22 mark in the video has always stuck with me, for whatever reason. Been awhile since I heard it. Thank you for the reminder!

Cool coincidence: After all these years (decades!), I only recently became reacquainted with this tune after getting Martin Barre's 50 Years of Jethro Tull; And here it is on Daily Sporran! It's grown on me after all these years, and as always, you have breathed new life into it. Bravo and thank you.

Another fabulous and faithful rendition of a beautiful Tull piece. This gave me chills...this song evokes a gutteral emotion ..the fondest of memories..of 1987 for me. And you nailed it as usual! Beautiful. ❤

One of my favourite and underrated '80s Tull songs; probably because I love the "melancholic" side of Ian Anderson's compositions (Budapest above all of course). I have always thought that the long instrumental intro was more a Mountain Men outro.

As usual it’s great to get your intelligence insight. I’ve just listened again to the original. I remember being embarrassed for both Ian and Martin at the time - it’s such a blatant Mark Knopfler rip off, I couldn’t take it seriously. For a band that had always ploughed their own distinctive furrow, I found it extraordinary.

@allanwidner9276 Жыл бұрын

To me this always sounded almost like an attempt at American country (from before country went all jingoistic pop with a twang).

Here's an idea for your 200th video: Play the Martin Barre's arrangement of a Tull song, on electric guitar! For example Minstrel in the Gallery or Conundrum!

Stewart...I always wanted to ask..has Ian ever heard you play/sing? I don't think there are many who can interpret the sensibilities of his music.

@DailySporran Жыл бұрын

I think he avoids covers of his songs. He feels like they are very personal to him, and while I know he is encouraging of others to cover them, he prefers not to have to listen to their attempts!

I was worried that I wouldn’t like this song because the songs left off the Under Wraps vinyl release were the two worst Tull songs in their catalog! I’m glad My fear was unfounded.

@RoyalDavid Жыл бұрын

Larry. We rarely diverge. But I adore Tundra. 3 worst songs? She said She was a Dancer, 4WD and I am willing to add in From a Dead Beat to an Old Greaser.

@@RoyalDavid I love "From a Deadbeat"-- and "She Said She Was a Dancer" too! Tundra and General Crossing are two of my favorites from Under Wraps, in fact.... My picks for worst in the catalog? "When Jesus Came to Play" and "The Curse"-- but I'm sure someone out there loves those too 😅

Larry I bought the standard US vinyl Underwraps record then later found a sort of English(?) near full size 33 speed vinyl with Tundra on 1 side and Automotive Engineering on the other side. Both such songs were not on the vinyl US Underwraps record. I found Tundra great and Automotive Engineering certainly above satisfactory. To the 1 with the belt do your darnedest!
