Did Jethro Tull ever perform The Baker St Muse live?

It was one of those tracks they never performed live.

Feel your pain though, Minstrel is my favorite Tull album.

I know you are not on your own regarding Baker St Muse. I remember buying Minstrel In The Gallery when it first came out in late 1975 and I played the cr*p out of it. I was in heaven but no matter how many times I played "Baker St Muse" it just didn't do anything for me. It still doesn't. For me it never really goes anywhere; at times it shows potential but then it just peters off and starts a new theme. So for me Baker St Muse has always been overated as a piece of music. But I am glad there are people out there that like it.

MITG is one of my Tull's favourite album (togehter with Thick & Aqualung. Unfortunately there are very little songs from this great album which were played live. As it is well known, BSM was never played live. The classical Tull concert in those days were:

Classical Intro (tape), Minstrel (fragment)/Wind-Up, Passion Play (excerpt), Thick As A Brick (excerpt), Wond'ring Aloud/Again, My God (incl. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen), Bourée, Living In The Past (inst.), Thick As A Brick (reprise), Pop Goes The Weasel), SeaLion, Skating Away..., Ladies (w. drum solo), WarChild, 'WarChild Suite' (piano & strings), Queen And Country, Reasons For Waiting, Cross-Eyed Mary, Bungle In The Jungle, Aqualung, Guitar Solo, Back-Door Angels, Locomotive Breath

What a shame that War Child had so much performed, while MITG had so little. I guess Ian A. didn't like MITG.
