When I saw Jethro Tull preform this live he said, "This piece was written around 300 years ago, around the time I was born." I will never forget that concert. I play the flute because of him.
Found in college around 1970. Still have the albums I saved, got disc so I can listen to Tull while driving today. Locomotive Breath still makes me speed!!!!!
I discovered Tull recently. They're definitely original. One of those bands that you can instantly tell from any other band. It sounds to me like music Henry VIII would like if he were a rocker. Medieval Rock & Roll.
Hope you can hear as much of them as possible. Definitely original and great musicians/performers. Unlike any others then or since. Best to you from old hippie/heavy rocker.@Temulon
The 70's were truly a magical era for music. Bands like Jethro Tull, ELP and Yes brought classical music to the ears of kids who never heard it before. Ian Anderson is a gem who has never been duplicated. He can play the flute like a lover, and attack with it, like it is a deadly weapon. I tell my kids to see these giants of rock before they are gone. The music industry no longer cares about breaking new sounds and taking chances. That's who so much music today sounds the same.
As regards classical music back in the 70s, there were more teenagers listening to it then than in later decades! The music industry you talked about, which country? I get the impression you have not expanded your music sphere beyond your own country!!! If so, you need to get out more!
@MarkRectorLazyRRanch ELP is short for Emerson, Lake and Palmer! Notably, one of the best English prog rock bands from the 70s and I will go as far to say better the ELO
I love Ian Anderson, I'm myself a classical trained flute player and I tell you with his playing he would never get a Conservatory Diploma but his style is so entertaining making him a true gem. @@devilsatan2973
In 1977 or 1978 5 kids in my high school performed this song at the variety show. I have had the tune in my head since then and i hum it all the time My husband recently bought me a new tablet and there is a program on it that identifies music by singing or humming a song. I just tried humming the song and it was identified for me. So i came to UA-cam and checked the song. Oh the memories it brought back. I have always loved Jethro Tull. My favorites are Pavane, Thick As A Brick, Songs from the wood, Aqualung, Life is a Song, and Bungle in the jungle.
I was about 21 when this came out. Listened to it over and over. Found it transcribed for classical guitar and learned it. But always coming back, transfixed, to Jethro Tull. Over forty years later, it still captures and holds me.
I was introduced to Tull as 15 year old Black kid on the southside of Chicago. I was blown away by the unique music of Tull which I found inside of my new discovery of rock music. I have been a Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson fan ever since.
Flutter tonguing works on the trumpet too, not to mention mammalian life forms. Living and working in New York City warps a man. Not in a bad way, in a good way. Been there done that. New Yorkers will understand this. If you're a New Yorker from 1975 on leave a comment. If not furggetaboutit.
I agree and so memorable too. I was VERY fortunate to see him 4 times at my very young age , first time was 9/8/69 at Anaheim. I feel blessed in that regard.
I always put on Jethro when I'm feeling whimsical and a full moon approaches , Jethro never fails to make my steps lighter and my mood more mischievous . Tonight the fire will be lit and we'll dance wild as the wind !
@@johnevans388,, or just Tull. They've been my favourite band since around 1970 when I first heard Witches Promise. Saw Tull live in Sydney in 1996 when Ian Anderson was in a wheel chair after a tumble off the stage in Lima Peru.
This is one of the best pieces of music, a perfect compilation of Classical music by J.S. Bach and rock/ jazz modification (not improvement) by such a clever man I. Anderson. Great and beautiful.
Jethro Tull as a whole playing this piece is fantastic, and Ian Anderson's flute playing makes anything they play unique. There are those who try to copy his style, but they'll never REALLY be Sir Ian. ♥️
I'm learning to play flute starting last year at 60 years old and if I can ever play this piece half as well as Ian Anderson, my life will be complete Bravissimo!
@@angelaglover6540 I’m 70 and my daughter left her flute here after she ran away to college and got married. I’m going to have it cleaned, oiled, and adjusted. Then I’m going to learn Happy Birthday and I really want to learn the rudimentary form of Bourree. From there, who knows.
@@justicegusting2476 Good for you. I am not 67! I still can't play Bouree, well parts I could but not really like him. Good luck. I suggest getting a good teacher. I have a good one who doesn't mind an old lady. He said I have progressed further than any of his adult students.
Ian was a unique talent. He gave us something timeless, that cannot be duplicated by anyone ever. Jethro Tull is my all time favorite musical experience.
@@Andrew-fs6wd Or it is a reference to something that happened in the past. Ian was a unique talent in the world of music when he arrived on the scene. That is what I am talking about. Please stop with the semantics lessons.
Elton John said in an interview some time back that there were three great bands that came out of England. Now I am not sure of the time frame in which he referred but he mentioned The Beatles...The Rolling Stones & The Dave Clsrk Five. I can't argue with that selection BUT...there so many more. The Who...The Hollies...The Kinks...& of course JETHRO TULL who in my opinion were one of the greatest bands that ever came out of England.
Was lucky enough to see the band live many times. Once sat behind the stage and had a great view of the back of Ian Anderson balanced on one leg playing the flute. Great band. Every member added a unique touch.
Each and every time I hear this song I like it more and more. Ian and the band are just freaking awesome musicians. I think they are better musicians now than in theirgolden years of the late sixties and early seventies. They just ROCK, don't they?
If you care for this kind of music, think about Canned Heat with Poppa John Creach on the electric flute. Poppa John was about 60 years older than the rest of the band ... but he could rock out with the best. Or, oh, who was it that played electric flute on a couple early Elton John albums? Little help here please.
I always loved Jethro Tull. I got to thinking about them yesterday when I was reading that they are from Blackpool. I never realized how awesome they were in concert. Made me appreciate them even more. Fantastic memories of fantastic music.
I saw you performing live in Madrid, Spain, somewhere around 1977. Memorable. I was very close to the stage. Impressive. Seems like ages ago, but your music has passed the test of time, with honors. Bravo
1972 ero in servizio militare a riva del Garda e ogni sera mi godevo questo brano che era la sigla di un programma radio di cui non ricordo il titolo.....mi infondeva grande emozione e Nostalgia...un ricordo struggente
After dreaming and waking up with this in my heart and mind, I only know growing up with Jethro Tull albums being played over and over by my parents as a child. I know the songs and relate them to another time long ago, but their music is timeless.
Both my kids loved this music as babies. In their 40's now, they both have decent music tastes. I still remember them in their jumpy seat, ("Johnny jumpup?) It clamped onto a sturdy doorway, suspended with a sturdy spring. They'd start and stop jumping as the songs played, laughing and cooing. Good times 😊 Hope you have a great day!
bouree is a generic term for a type of dance, there were lots of bourees. But The thing with Bach which makes him unique I feel is that timing is everything,its that which gives the unique ''feel'' and you just cant mistake him for any other composer. If you err one nano second on the timing you have lost what Bach was all about.. I HATED playing Bach for that very reason and was VERY unsuccessful in each and every piece because it never allowed for expression or individuality.....and here is Jethro doing just that...........and hats off!..................but its lost Bach's soul in so doing.....and put in a little of his own. Which do I prefer? Well as a lover of Jethro Tull................I still prefer Bach.
Ian has been the first to join classic and rock music and additionally he's done it at master level. Just great music. And great fun to listen him entertaining the crowd.
He is so perfekt, great musician. See Jethro Tull live in Frankfurt am Main Germany, he flew with his flute on the ceiling of the hall and play! This was great and the whole concert was fantastic (early 80s) Greetings from Germany

Jorge Martín what ever he does I would say it works . He has his own style and can not be compared to James Galway or the likes who also has his own style and is less entertaining. You don't have to play the flute to enjoy the playing of others either
Yes, he's a wonderful flute player. If you like flute, you could listen to Roland Kirk and Harold McNair. Kirk is jazz not rock but he makes a flute talk, and Anderson obviously listened to him when he was younger. Kirk was a blind, black American who rocked before rock was a thing.
Thank you so much,, many years of joy... much love , never thought of my special music as cocktail lounge jazz... Lol.. Wish you all well and hope you and yours are safe and well...x
One of my idols. I play flute, saxes and Clarinets. I told my 4th grade band director flute and heavy metal mix she laughed me off 30 years later playing flute in the bars as a rock musician I would love to jam with Jethro learning his flutter
One of the bands those of us playing gigs admired as they’re the real deal, classically trained, able to do a rare mix of classical, jazz and rock & roll
Ian, you will always be the best flutist, you will always be eccentric, you will always be in my heart. I love J.S. Bach immensely. But your version of "Bourée" is the best. And then you come from so far away, Cromagnon, Neanderthal? You take a little tour in an evolved artistic world, you play for our happiness this sublime work somewhat neglected by its creator. And then you come back with your cries of wild beasts or is it the language that our ancestors spoke then? Hats off Sir Anderson...
I can still smell the cocaine and taste the mushrooms from those wondrous years.. Crazily talented musicians were everywhere you look and these guys are an OUTSTANDING chapter of that book. There is some crazy energy that emerges between and around these guys when they do their thing. Anyone who’s ever seen them live knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about..
Great artist Jan, there is little to say. I am still happy to listen to this immortal music today. One day it will be said that the magic flute really existed, thanks Jan
this live amazing performance has stroke up many questions in my mind , one of them is how did he make a barouque melody sound like a jazz one , what an astonishing musician he is
They put on a great show. He's an excellent front man. I saw them years ago and He looked like a pirate His jestures would always enhance the show, standing on on leg, and the way he would move around on stage was always to compliment some part of the song. that's how I saw it.
Have loved Ian Anderson since the 70's- such incredible performers! My daughter's first concert was seeing Ian in a small venue almost 20 years ago. He inspired her to play flute. Can't wait to see JT again this fall!
When I saw Jethro Tull preform this live he said, "This piece was written around 300 years ago, around the time I was born." I will never forget that concert. I play the flute because of him.
@Paolo G The concert I saw was in 2014. I wasn't alive in 1974 so that would have been difficult, although that would be cool.
Ahahahah 🤣
Me too. I picked up the flute back in the day because of Jethro Tull.
I didn't play it but I initially bought a flute because of JT😂😂
I call it Ian's flute since then😂😂😂😂😂
So do I! Ian told me that even at 63 it wasn’t too late! So I got started. It’ll be a minute before Ian asks me to join him on tour but hey.
I have loved Jethro Tull since high school 1969. The music never fades.
amen to that
You are _so_ true. 🌹
Found in college around 1970. Still have the albums I saved, got disc so I can listen to Tull while driving today. Locomotive Breath still makes me speed!!!!!
I discovered Tull recently. They're definitely original. One of those bands that you can instantly tell from any other band.

Yep, right up until disco 💩 and Corporations took over actual music. ☠️ 🪦
It's impossible to look at his face while playing and not to smile! A great musician! I'm happy to live at the same time with him.

One of the best musicians ever, his flute playing is extroardinary.
I agree, not many bands can make rock music with a flute
There really is nothing that compares to jethro in 2024, i really miss the days of having proper frontmen like Ian.
I was introduced to Tull as 15 year old Black kid on the southside of Chicago. I was blown away by the unique music of Tull which I found inside of my new discovery of rock music. I have been a Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson fan ever since.
Ian's flute playing skills just kept getting better.
Haaaaa..... Bourée de Bach tant détestée quand je l'ai étudiée au conservatoire bien jeune... Et bien là, je kiffe!!! Chapeau bas Monsieur...❤
The most satisfying moment of anyone's day is when a friend remarks: "Wow, Jethro Tull is a really talented flute player!"
Back in 73, I mentioned to a friend I like Jethro Tull, to which he replied, "ls that the dude with the flute?" 🤣
Until they learn his name is Ian Anderson. 😳 Jethro Tull is the name of the band, only.
Soy de chile. Tuve la oportunidad verlos en vivo una experiencia inolvidable. Músicos muy talentosos.
Yo también, lástima me quedé dormida en la mitad del concierto más o menos, había esperado mucho y tenía 5 años (creó) . Tenía tantas ganas de verlo.
I was absolutely breathless for the entire time they were playing. That flutter tonguing was just beautiful...
Is that what its called? Thanks, its truly amazing.
you were breathless cause he needed your breath to flute.
Flutter tonguing works on the trumpet too, not to mention mammalian life forms. Living and working in New York City warps a man. Not in a bad way, in a good way. Been there done that. New Yorkers will understand this. If you're a New Yorker from 1975 on leave a comment. If not furggetaboutit.

Это точно!
I dont even know what you just said
just the thruth. I don't have russian keyboard, so I write in english ;-)
Zgadzam się z rosyjskojęzycznym przedmówcą!
Great writer, musician, producer/engineer, and a real old-time showman. Wild we’re still both around.
Ian may look older, but the music never ages....
my wife makes me laugh, she still thinks his name is J.T. she loves his music though and that's all that matters
Call yourself lucky for having such a wife, who clearly perceives the things that matter. :D
And he is the music, so...
Michael Ladd Turned me on to the flute for first time in college..whew
and in this case much less with this tune of BACH
This guy is a true genius, both by flawless interpretation ad improvisation!!!!
First time I hear this version I cried so hard and got shivers all through my back. It stills moves something inside me that I only can call "soul".
Oh, this walking bass, symply delightful.
This is one of the best pieces of music, a perfect compilation of Classical music by J.S. Bach and rock/ jazz modification (not improvement) by such a clever man I. Anderson. Great and beautiful.
Never read my new High Times mag without Tull !
One of the greatest performers ever to hit the stage. When I saw him he was unique in his ability to match premium talent with showmanship.
You realize the world is getting old when Ian no longer plays standing on one leg...
He did get that leg up for a mo
in tights with his head leaning backward and the wild locks reaching the ground behind him
The wild expressions on his face make up for that!
Yeah, he got his leg up at 4:48 and raised his eyebrows to punctuate it!
He still does if the money's right.

I love this version but Bach was a "everything is in the partition" kind of guy. He saw the coming of rubato and hate it.
Perhaps he does? :)
Yeah, I´d love to see him barf in disgust to all the profane electric noise and all the vulgar drumming.
Simply amazing, unbeatable, not enough words for this marvelous performance!
Oh WOW ! That’s what we need now in this difficult time. That goes instantly in the heart.
Bach a favorite ever. Jethro Tull a favorite always. Thank you, Ian.
Amazing Jethro... With this tune, he showed us his talent as a great musician exploring Bach original "Bourée" into a modern jazzy tune...Awsome...
You do know Jethro is not a person...….
@@MultiSassman he was. Quite a while back.
Jethro Tull - born 1674, English agronomist, agriculturist, writer, and inventor whose ideas helped form the basis of modern British agriculture.
Being a classical guitarist and an ardent Tull fan, this is my favorite Tull tune. Every version is different and even better than the one before !
BWV 996 for the win. Treat Bach with respect, even when messing around with him, and you'll never be disappointed.

Jorge Martín have you ever heard of the phrase "having your own style " well Ian certainly has his own and it's kept him going for years
Ron Philpott i know i know. But he could learn to put his fingers in the right positions to sound good and better.
Jorge Martín what ever he does I would say it works . He has his own style and can not be compared to James Galway or the likes who also has his own style and is less entertaining.
You don't have to play the flute to enjoy the playing of others either
Still Love This song after all these years! Ian Anderson is amazing!
If anyone wanted to elect the king of flute traversière the last 50 years ~~ my vote goes to Ian Anderson!
Yes, he's a wonderful flute player. If you like flute, you could listen to Roland Kirk and Harold McNair. Kirk is jazz not rock but he makes a flute talk, and Anderson obviously listened to him when he was younger.
Kirk was a blind, black American who rocked before rock was a thing.

Thank you so much,, many years of joy... much love , never thought of my special music as cocktail lounge jazz... Lol..
Wish you all well and hope you and yours are safe and well...x
One of my idols. I play flute, saxes and Clarinets. I told my 4th grade band director flute and heavy metal mix she laughed me off 30 years later playing flute in the bars as a rock musician I would love to jam with Jethro learning his flutter
A true and talented artist in every sense of the word.
Not only Ian, but the whole crew is great!!!
Modern with love for Classic.

John Anderson quanta creatività a creare questa meravigliosa bourrée
L'adoro !
Energia pura crescente 🍀🌻💐♥️♥️♥️
One of the bands those of us playing gigs admired as they’re the real deal, classically trained, able to do a rare mix of classical, jazz and rock & roll
Amazing to see how he rocks that flute :D ... I've always liked the band but now is the first time i actually see them play. Awesome...
Nimrad D I got to see him in 1977..the best concert I've ever seen. they have clips up here..Berkely
Grande musica
He came to my city in a little theater by my house just about a week ago. I can't get this song out of my head.
09crafty09 me too,i just love this song,it was the B side of Living In The Past.The fist record I bought.x
Saw Ian in october 14th, his singing is pretty bad, but my god he plays the flute like a maniac!
Ian, you will always be the best flutist, you will always be eccentric, you will always be in my heart. I love J.S. Bach immensely. But your version of "Bourée" is the best. And then you come from so far away, Cromagnon, Neanderthal? You take a little tour in an evolved artistic world, you play for our happiness this sublime work somewhat neglected by its creator. And then you come back with your cries of wild beasts or is it the language that our ancestors spoke then? Hats off Sir Anderson...
Damn, the bass solo is just epic, and the flute, love it
Maestro Anderson... mind-blowing!
This instrumentalist is on the podium of the greatest geniuses of mankind.
Thanks for these frequencies.🥰😇
I can still smell the cocaine and taste the mushrooms from those wondrous years.. Crazily talented musicians were everywhere you look and these guys are an OUTSTANDING chapter of that book. There is some crazy energy that emerges between and around these guys when they do their thing. Anyone who’s ever seen them live knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about..
My brother turned me on to Jethro Tull and I've been listening to it for awhile I love it I have a DVD living in the past that I really like
We love you Ian and thanks for all your efforts and bringing joy to our lives.
Great artist Jan, there is little to say. I am still happy to listen to this immortal music today. One day it will be said that the magic flute really existed, thanks Jan
Zweimal ihn live erlebt! Einmalig, herrlich, wundervoll 🌹💕🙏💕🌹
THANKS JETHRO FROM YOUR MAGNIFIC INTERPRÉTATION FROM YOUR MYTIC BOUREE...THANKS MR JETHRO TULL I AM FAN MANY LONGS YEARS. ....JACKYFAN 👍
This song just keeps calling me... Thanks to you Ian and your band, well done!
this live amazing performance has stroke up many questions in my mind , one of them is how did he make a barouque melody sound like a jazz one , what an astonishing musician he is
This is just fabulous...yes i loved his live l.p. 78 ....
I was there with my dad and my brother.
Best show I ever saw hands down. Ian Anderson is a beast. The Guess Who opened for them that was awesome too.
I saw Burton Cummings open for Alice Cooper, circa 1977. So close to the stage I got hit by his sweat when he shook his head. He was a sweaty guy.
One of my very favorite jazz pieces...phenomenal, absolute genius!
Beautiful musician-ship. Genius writing and genius interpretation
They put on a great show. He's an excellent front man. I saw them years ago and He looked like a pirate His jestures would always enhance the show, standing on on leg, and the way he would move around on stage was always to compliment some part of the song. that's how I saw it.
Minstrel
Have loved Ian Anderson since the 70's- such incredible performers! My daughter's first concert was seeing Ian in a small venue almost 20 years ago. He inspired her to play flute. Can't wait to see JT again this fall!
absolutely fascinating. really can't say that I have enjoyed a song more. His work with the flute is amazing. Cheers!!!!!
MAGNIFICO, INIMITABILE, UNICO JAN ANDERSON!!!! COMPLIMENTI VIVISSIMI A VOI TUTTI 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Vero insuperabile
@@tommasoghilardi8130 proprio insuperabile no, bravo ma non unico dovresti vedere Dave Valentin , Harbie Mann, qualcosa troverai nel mio canale :)
Thanks Ian for all the special tunes... since 1976 for me...awesome!
J.S will be proud of you for being so daring. I was totally entertained by this performance.
