Editorial Review:
Description: Jethro Tull was formed in the late 60’s and released their debut album This Was in 1968. Led by charismatic frontman Ian Anderson, they have been touring and recording almost constantly ever since. Jethro Tull has registered #1 albums on both sides of the Atlantic, achieved a succession of gold and platinum discs and won a Grammy award. They remain a massive live draw wherever they play around the world.
In 1970 Jethro Tull played the Isle Of Wight Festival in front of 600,000 people. Earlier that year they had released their third album, Benefit, which had seen the introduction of a full time keyboard player to the band’s lineup. The set was drawn from across the three albums with popular tracks such as My Sunday Feeling, Dharma For One, Bourée and Nothing Is Easy and also featured My God, a track that would appear on the following year’s classic album Aqualung, probably their most famous release.
Nothing Is Easy is a true concert film, combining the classic performances from the festival with a new interview with Ian Anderson, specially shot for the film, and with backstage footage and original interviews from 1970 with Isle of Wight residents and fans attending the festival. Also included in the film is footage of the band’s appearance in the Rolling Stones’ Rock And Roll Circus performing A Song For Jeffrey with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath on guitar.
As a bonus feature on the DVD there is a photo gallery of 26 original pictures of Tull’s performance at the Isle of Wight taken by celebrated photographer Claude Gassian.

I saw Tull for the first time on their first U.S. Tour at the good ol' Fillmore East back in the day. They were so great that I can't even remember who the headliner was (Savoy Brown? Jeff Beck?... oh well)and I became a fan for life. Unfortunately, there is little in the way of concert video of this period when Tull was still young, brash and filled with juice. Well, it's been a (way too) long time but here it is. Yes, they WERE as great as we thought they were. Just know that there's only about ... Read More

This is a great video of Jethro Tull at a peak performance prior to the release of Aqualung etc. though I have been a Tull fan for nearly 40 years (!!!) this is the first time that I realized that they could rock with as much awesome power as any of the big time bands of the time. The video itself is very well done, interviews with Ian Anderson from 2004 with his memories of the times, well shot and edited performance footage and lots of back stage scenes of the times, starring "the hippies" and "the ...

In 1970, the final Isle of Wight Festival was held (at least until 2002 when the Isle of Wight festival ban was lifted). It was an event that I felt had more interesting music acts than did Woodstock, because it had acts that Woodstock wouldn't take. Woodstock rejected the Doors, because they felt the band had too dark and gloomy of an image for the "flower power" audience. Neither would Woodstock have had bands like Chicago or Lighthouse (who were basically a Canadian Chicago or Blood, Sweat & Tears ... Read More

This is excellent in several ways. It has an overall commentary of the performance by Ian himself. Then his comments on what the festival signified--Its somewhat similar to "Woodstock" by Michael Wadleigh...showing the atmosphere as if you were there yourself. I particularly like the fact that its not "re-mixed" or "re-" anything, the video and sound are basically as it was recorded. Its not scratchy or choppy at all, its exceptionally well documented, and just a great peek into some early Tull when "My ... Read More

Es muy interesante ver los comentarios de Ian Anderson sobre el momento y la puesta en escena del concierto. El sonido es muy bueno igual que la imagen, lástima que no tenga la opción de Widescreen, sin embargo vale la pena tener este concierto. Adicionalmente tiene el bono del CD con otros temas adicionales.
Los amantes de Jethro Tull deben tener este DVD.
