Jethro Tull "Song for Jeffrey"

 


Here is an offbeat and interesting performance.  It is rock band Jethro Tull with their lead vocalist and flautist, Ian Anderson, playing the blues on "Song for Jeffrey" as part of the 1968 "Rock and Roll Circus" concert put on by The Rolling Stones that was released as a movie in 1996.  The music was recorded specifically for a lip sync for the show.  That is what makes it zany.  Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath fame is featured on guitar in the video.  But it is clearly the band's original guitarist, Mick Abrahams who is playing the slide guitar part we hear in the song itself.
