JETHRO TULL: (DUN RINGILL) 9-14-1979. FROM ALBUM STORMWATCH:

"DUN RINGILL" is a song from Jethro Tull's twelfth studio album "STORMWATCH" released on September 14th, 1979. It is considered the last in the trilogy of folk-rock-albums by Jethro Tull (although folk music influenced virtually every Tull album).

"DUN RINGILL" is the historic site of an Iron Age fort on the Isle of Skye, which served as the original seat of the Clan MacKinnon. Tull's Ian Anderson once owned and lived in a nearby Kilmarie house, until he sold the estate in 1994. (Dun Ringill - the song is taken from the Dun Ringill Isle of Skye Historic site).

Years ago four of us went to see Jethro Tull in Pittsburgh Stormwatch Bursting Out tour, they sat down began to sing Dunringill light beaming down on them the rest of the stage dark it looked like snow falling down around them the coolest thing I ever saw and that wasn't all they did does anyone remember this?

"
Clear light on a slick palm
as I mis-deal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
from a heaven home
high above the highest bidder
for the good Lord's throne
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill -
watch the old gods play
by Dun Ringill

We'll wait in stone circles
'til the force comes through
lines joint in faint discord
and the Stormwatch brews
a concert of Kings
as the white sea snaps
at the heels of a soft prayer
whispered
In the wee hours I'll meet you
down by Dun Ringill -
take you quickly
by Dun Ringill. "
