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, have registered no.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 line up. 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.

Boy oh boy I was 30years old when this happened, and can't stop listening to THE MIGHTY JETHRO TULL I'm 80years young because of music like this......
-
Ian Anderson = combination of (flutist, vocalist, lyricist, composer, showman, crazy man) par excellence.
-
13.7 Billions years. The universe is 13.7 Billion years old and you were lucky enough to experience this. Never say life isn't fair.
-
For me this is the greatest live rock performance ever. The man is a genius!
-
I was there. 24 years old. Ten feet from the stage.
-
Hard to believe he was only 23 here. 😮 I saw JT at least 6x and we always had 1st or 2nd row seats. The 70s were an amazing time to go to concerts. I think tickets were around $5 sometimes. 🎟 Loved seeing him perform. An amazing showman. ❤️ Pure genius❣️ 👏 🪈
-
The fact that Ian was not on drugs is the most unbelievable thing about this performance.
-
This is Jethro Tull at their finest!!
-
WHY in the name of the Lord is Tull not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Best live rock concert I ever saw in my 70 years!!!
-
Ian Anderson is truly possessed by a medieval minstrel as he strikes those poses with left foot on right knee while talking the flute... Utterly fantastic....
-
One of the greatest live bands ever. Always gave you 2 h 2 1/2 hrs. Top musicianship ,great songs. Killer lyrics and one of the best front men of all time.In their prime they had no equal

I have been listening to Jethro Tull for over 40 years and still play them in my car and house today and my teenage boys like his music also.
-
I love how Glenn Cornick is just leaning there watching the spectacle, then suddenly springs into action with this massive energy convulsing his body.
-
Of course Ian Anderson is one in two million.., a wild genius. The likes of which we’re not likely to see again. He’s brilliant.
-
Ian Anderson is the hendrix of the flute and acoustic guitar absolutely stunning
-
He is not just a musicians, he is a performer and an entertainer. He was a force on the stage.
-
Britain produced so many unique rock bands after the Beatles broke through. Impressive for a country of our size.
-
What a Freak he was at playing that damn flute! NO ONE can play like he can, grunting, groping, panting, sneezing, singing, crying, what a performance. What a song, thanks for the upload!
-
One of Glen Cornick’s last performances with Tull, what a fantastic bassist
-
You know what really grinds my gears? A 15 second commercial during his flute solo.
