Description: A Passion Play is the sixth studio album by Jethro Tull released in July 1973 in both UK and US. Like its predecessor, Thick as a Brick, (1972), it is a concept album comprising individual songs arranged into a single continuous piece of music (which is split into two parts on the original vinyl LP release). The theme of the concept is apparently the spiritual journey of one man -Ronnie Pilgrim-in the afterlife.. In the original tour to support the album, three videos were used: one for the intro of the "play", a second for "The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles", and a final short segment to conclude the act. The whole of the concert was the high water mark of Jethro Tull's elaborate stage production.A Passion Play became Jethro Tull's second No. 1 album in the USA.1973 original release[edit]Side oneNo.TitleLength1."A Passion Play, part II.
