Jethro Tull: Story of the Hare who Lost his Spectacles(1973)

Fantasy Music Comedy

Status: Released

Date: 1973-07-13

0 Votes

Time: 0h 7m

Overview:

'Nonsense' piece inserted between Acts Two and Three of Jethro Tull's A Passion Play, which bears no relation to the rest of The Play. In 1973 concerts, the band left the stage after Act Two and a filmed version of 'The Hare...' was shown. A spoken-word comedic interlude (narrated by Jeffrey Hammond with an exaggerated Lancashire accent) backed by instrumentation. Presented as an absurd fable, the interlude details (with much wordplay) the failure of a group of anthropomorphic animals to help a hare find his missing eyeglasses.

Ancestors is a film about spiritual forefathers and mothers in a purely fanciful sense.
