Here's what band leader Ian Anderson had to say about the festival: "Things were going around both backstage and front of house that made it a little unpleasant for everybody. It was out of control, and the organizers were struggling to keep the thing from degenerating into something quite horrible. It was perhaps a testimony to the local police, and generally the welcoming residents of the Isle of Wight, that the thing happened at all."
Regarding the Jethro Tull set, he said, "At the Isle of Wight, we knew we were unlikely to get paid, and we determined early on that this was something that we really just had to go through and try and keep a modicum of a smile on our faces. So we just kind of got on with it and did our bit. It was not a good gig, it was not a bad gig, it was just a little frenetic and a little tense."
Once again, the sound quality is excellent, because the complete set has been officially released. It came out in 2002 as "Nothing Is Easy: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970."
This album is an hour and seven minutes long.
UPDATE: On September 6, 2026, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is exactly the same. However, I changed the album title from "Part 4" to "Part 5," and renumbered all the songs, because I found a set that comes before this that I'd previously missed.
