WELCOME TO ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF #BOTB!
I'm doing this last-minute and without much aforethought. (Absent-minded! 🫨)
Apologies for being late!
HISTORY
"Living in the Past" is a song by British progressive rock group Jethro Tull. It is one of the band's best-known songs, and it is notable for being written in the unusual 5-4 time signature.
After reaching number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, it was released in several other countries, but only promotionally in the United States in July 1969. It was not until October 1972 that it was commercially released in the US, as the lead single and title track of Living in the Past, a double compilation LP of the band's UK-only releases and outtakes recorded from 1968 to 1971. It became the band's first Top 20 hit in the US, peaking at #11.

Wow! There are some outstanding visuals here today; including your header picture! My vote goes to the Carolina band, the Connells!
ReplyDeleteTull is one of my all time favorite rock groups. Both groups cover the song pretty good, but for me the Connells were far more listenable. Give my vote to them please.

I definitely enjoyed Cud much better. I'll go with them.
