Jethro Tull - The Chequered Flag - TV 1976 video free download

Mark Jones

Love this song, love this album. Seriously under-rated and can't wait for the anniversary edition, to go with all my other AEs.This looks like it was some kind of TV special of the whole album, is the whole programme available? Would love to see the whole thing.

This song illustrates the duplicity that life hands us. Ian is masterful at helping us make sense of tragedy....and the broader scheme of things.

Having recently lost my dear Dad, listen to the lyrics and imagine what this song actually means. M

I had this played at my funeral

One of the greatest Tull songs and among the very best of Ian's lyrics....this last stanza is fantastically poignant...wonderful poetry... The still-born child can't feel the rain as the chequered flag falls once again. The deaf composer completes his final score. He'll never hear the sweet encore. The chequered flag, the bull's red rag, the lemming-hearted hordes running ever faster to the shore singing, Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead or alive.

@tullist Believe it or not, I actually saw a painting by Jeffrey Hammond for auction on the Christies Auction website. I think a friend of his put it up for sale.

@badumpy i pretty much agree but i like the '77-79 lineup more...pretty much the same exact lineup with David (now Dee) Palmer added as the synth player/violist/multi-instrumentalist/arranger...much more depth was added to the line up live and on albums imo...even though in '76 and earlier he was studio arranger uncredited...

badumpy

The Best Lineup they ever had...i think most fans would agree.

Mike Garner

Great lyrics from a band who had some deep meanings that went far beyond their presence in the music arena................. M

Not to mention they had one of the greats on drums.
