- In this video, I react for the first time to Jethro Tull performing "Locomotive Breath” live at Rockpop. In this video, I analyse Ian Anderson’s amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. I LOVE that he plays the flute as well!

I'd suggest reacting to Moe Koffman playing flute on his jazz/rock fusion tune Curried Soul (1969)
ua-cam.com/video/Q6WCLOQVbuA/v-deo.html and to his slower but bluesy Swinging Shepherd Blues here with a big band sound ua-cam.com/video/3h-dwY1Y2dc/v-deo.html and his jazzier take on Moe Koffman Plays Bach (1971) ua-cam.com/video/7z__QhOfKEk/v-deo.html (Sorry, vinyl album sounds scratchy at first tune/movement).
It's about time for another Jethro Tull reaction, isn't it? How about a live performance with more flute! He's much younger in this too. I guarantee you will love this.
Jethro Tull - My God (Nothing Is Easy - Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970) ua-cam.com/video/5WSulenOUb0/v-deo.html
I don't know why people often recommend this song to UA-cam reactioneers. It was one of their more popular ones for sure but not in anyway their best. It really doesn't feature his true abilities as a singer, flautist, musician, composer, band leader, performer and raconteur. Few bandleaders could draw in and captivate an audience like Ian Anderson with his funny stories and colorful tales.
So Why not Dear God from the Isle of Wight festival? Or maybe Really Don't mind from Thick As A Brick? Maybe a happy upbeat song and masterpieces in their own right, One Brown Mouse or Skating Away (On the Thin Ice Of A New Day)? Or the title track from the album Heavy Horses?
Almost anything off of Minstrel In The Gallery including the title track would not disappoint. The whole album is a masterpiece and they would often play it as well as Thick As A Brick in their entirety from beginning to end at some of their shows in the late 70's. That was really something to see and hear back then. The audience was spellbound.
So I really don't get it. Not that it's a bad song. Ian Anderson doesn't write bad songs and on its own from almost any other band it would be great. But what a lackluster introduction for such an accomplished musician as yourself to one of the greatest rock bands of the late 20th century.
Even though Ians not fully formed as a composer at this point I highly recommend Dear God from the Isle Of Wight concert in 1970. It's spectacular.
@@Rhythmic1 No need to be critical of her choosing one of their more most popular songs as a first choice. Try keeping the energy positive so you don't spoil the listening experience. I find it helpful too if you link the UA-cam site in your request making it easier for the reactor or vocal coach. That being said, I love the "Dear God from the Isle Of Wight" and have requested it myself. Be patient, grasshopper. There is so much music and so little time to react to it all.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Bravo, bravo 🎉🎉🎉. ❤️❤️❤️
Good reaction and good performance with the flute 🪈
I smiled and laughed seeing you so excited 😜😜🤪🤪😛😛🫠🫠🫠watching the video .
Keep it up my elf woman
Ian Anderson, Tull's front man, was not trained as a flutist but instead was self-taught. He became known for his flute in the context of rock. One of a kind and also a wonderful showman. You really must do more Tull.
Ian is a very very good acoustic guitarist as well.
I heard in an interview a few years ago that Ian Anderson's daughter, who also became a flautist, informed him that his finger positions are incorrect. Since he was self-taught, that makes sense, but she showed him the correct positions and now uses both techniques in his playing.
Ya, and Ian was , refreshingly , one of the very few rockers that didn't get into dope of any kind. That is called being unaffected. by the behaviour of others.
I saw him in Spokane I around 2010. His flute playing is amazing. I think he has taken lessons since his early years. His voice is not as strong anymore.
In an interview, he was asked, why the flute? His answer was, because I couldn't play guitar like Eric Clapton.
Side note, when Jethro Tull was slagged by metal bands and fans when they won a Grammy for Heavy Metal Ian Anderson responded with the comment that "A flute is a heavy, metal instrument".
It wasn't Ian, it was Chrysalis Records (I believe) who took out a full-page ad in Variety magazine the next day. Mostly white space, a close-up of a flute, and that quote (with the all-important comma!)
When Metallica did win Best Metal Album, they specifically thanked Jethro Tull "...for not putting out an album this year."
😂
Nice analysis and quite entertaining. My one question is, how do you study the flute and never stumble onto Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson: flute)? I understand that your background is classical and Ian's playing is completely unconventional, but still!
@@edwardcandland8740 Unconventional.but NOT unique, see my comment above.
I saw that as a poster at a Tull Convention in the early 90s. Just a forearm and fist holding the flute and at the bottom "the flute is a heavy, metal instrument". Nearly bought it but I think I got bootleg live performance tapes (yes cassettes) and a T shirt instead.
Don’t forget that Tony Iommi, guitarist of Black Sabbath- arguably the band that started heavy metal was a member of Jethro Tull shortly before Sabbath was formed. Sure, it was only for two weeks, but still…
His name is Ian Anderson. The band is Jethro Tull, awesome band. Listen to Living In The Past. My brother taught himself the flute because of Ian Anderson and perfected it! He was a beautiful singer , my brother. Living in The Past was played at his funeral when he passed. He knew every Jethro Tull song by heart, sang them and played them on flute ❤❤❤
For the best version everyone, put into search: Living In The Past - Live in Brussels 1993
Jethro Tull was an 18th century agronomist and inventor of the seed-drill. Widely considered one of the fathers of modern farming.
Ahhhh....so we finally after decades know who Jethro Tull is! Thank you for that. Let me go pull out my albums from the '70's.....
I've had a shit day, but watching this reaction made it melt away. Your combination of uninhibited artistic appreciation, adorableness and technical acumen lightens my day no end. Thank you.
I know where you are coming from. Made my day.
An excellent reaction by someone that enjoys music and is a musician too.
Always imagine Ian Anderson sitting on a park bench.
........ Eyeing little girls with bad intent
A great album and superb cover.
Snot running down his nose.
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
How does this sweet young lady know all the intricacies of all the techniques of singing and sound production? And she even dismantled Ian Anderson’s entire flute performance into atoms. I didn't even see it in the flutists' reactions. I learn so much after every viewing. Bravissimo.
She sang with the London Symphony Orchestra when she was 12 so she knows some stuff.
I have yet to see her stumped, even with things that perplex every other vocal coach. And not only can she explain it - she can actually DEMONSTRATE it, even the most obscure and bizarre things. It's delightful
What a delightful performance piece: not just Tull but the beautiful critic as well!
Yeah she is a general music genius alright;-)
Best breakdown of a song that I ever witnessed.What a teacher. You can tell by the way she moves she's part of the music.RESPECT
I had the distinct pleasure to see Jethro Tull in concert in the early to mid-70s and again in the early 80s. Locomotive Breath was a concert staple. It never failed to get the audience on their feet.
Ian is an unreal frontman and multi-Instrumentalist who is mainly noted as the best and most outrageous flute player in rock but he rocks acoustic guitars, various other instruments and has extraordinary song writing skills. Jethro Tull from the late 60s through the early 80s is their classic period but did other fine albums even into the 21st century. Try Thick as a Brick, the live video is a condensed version of the album which is that title track, one 42 minute 'song' in 2 parts on the original vinyl. Master class music, a stew of Rock, Blues, Classical, Jazz, Prog, New Age and medieval influences, they were one of the best bands in that era in their prime. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Thick as a Brick? I concur. Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
@@erickvermeulen9734 my words but a whisper, your deafness, a shout
He’s also funny as hell. He noted that Jethro Tull has had 34 members over the years, the same as Spinal Tap.
@@martygrale I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
I agree that Thick as a Brick is a brilliant and beautiful album. I have a formative memory of slowly driving a dirt road up a mountain at sunrise to that album.
Ian Anderson is also quite a brilliant lyricist as well. Aqualung is an album that is great from beginning to end and reading about the very short time they had to write and record one of their most famous albums is most impressive. Spoilers: They recorded their 4th studio album in the same 17th century converted chapel, and state of the art recording studio, that Led Zeppelin recorded “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven”. Those insanely iconic studios are referred to as Island Studio One and Island Studio Two.
But, Almost any interview where they get to talk about their music is insightful.
Wait, what?! Not only can you replicate every single vocal technique, you can also play the flute and replicate some intricate Ian Anderson phrases? That's dedication at its peak! Keep rocking!
It’s so refreshing to observe musical performances analyzed be an actual musical professional genius! Love every video 🙂💯
Memories 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
My first concert back in '75 !!!!!
*_AMAZING !!!!!_*
Jethro Tull has 2 of my all-time favorite songs. One is called "Teacher," and the other is "Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)." I encourage everyone to listen to those songs.
Somethings on the Move and the Whistler are two more favorites in a great catalog of sound...
I think Skating Away is my favorite, but I always loved Dun Ringill. Short and sweet. Its the guitar that gets me.
👌
Reasons For Waiting Wondrin' Aloud were my first dance songs with my new husband at my wedding ... Jethro Tull's Bouree was played as I walk down the aisle ... Couldn't go with "Here Comes The Bride" ... Mother Goose
Only two?
I think Ian actually taped the sections together on his flute to keep it from flying apart on stage. He DOES get pretty crazy with it out there! The live 'Thick as a Brick' performance is not to be missed as well.. these guys always put on a hell of a show!😄👍👍
Really enjoyed hearing about the overlap between flute playing and singing, glad you got to do this double analysis, insightful as always!
for me she is minimum in the best 3 reaction channels... ^^
Have a wee listen to Roots to Branches. Love the Eastern vibe!!!
my favorite Jethro Tull reaction ever! if you love chaos, insanity and brilliance, you will love Jethro Tull
You truly will enjoy more Tull. They created some of the better music of the 70's. And for me anyway, that's saying something.
I'm new to your channel, and was surprised that you have become such a talented singer and flautist without knowledge of Jethro Tull? Ian is quite the showman/madman, a true "Minstrel in the Gallery." You will not be disappointed with JT as you listen through their entire works!
Great reaction Lolli! Jethro Tull had a very unique, satisfying sound.
I think the best part of their show is the 10 minute intro that weaves in and out of a dozen intricate rhythms flawlessly. Absolutely amazing. I have been well entertained by Anderson and the boys. I must have 100hrs of Tull and Anderson.
Quite an interesting reaction when the reactor is both an accomplished singer and wind instrument player. Two instruments, so to speak, from the same source. Well done.
Jethro Tull was a very underrated band. My late husband was a big fan and I defied convention by having some Jethro Tull music at his funeral - so there!!
The can't have been that underrated, with two top 1 albums on the US Billboard pop album chart (Thick as a Brick, and A Passion Play)
Ian Anderson was an extraordinary flute player, usually standing on one leg (for ages) whilst playing (flauting? Flooting?). Jethro Tull were ace. Love from Annie, in Cornwall🙂🌸
Was? Ian Anderson is still alive and kicking.
@@ydnahs09 Absolutely -- I'll be seeing him (and the latest version of Jethro Tull) in concert in about two weeks.
@@ydnahs09 I know that, and I know he’s still performing, though obv less often. I meant ‘was’ as in at that time in “pop” music playing the flute was unusual, to say the least, playing a flute the way Ian played it, on one leg wearing pretty weird (even for then) clothes, was even more unusual. So...
@ydnahs09 you beat me to this comment
Was? He still is. God.
To listen to Jethro Tull is an experience unlike any other. The group has a lot of great music and I hope that you will explore more of their recordings. Their blend of medieval and modern is unique.
The flute solo from the 1976 Tampa concert really is a must for anyone who has studied the flute. Don’t worry there is singing (of a sort) in the flute solo. Even if it isn’t right for your channel you DO want to see/listen to this one.
Agree
The flute solo is awesome, and what I think will harmonize best with one of Voice Mother's analysis themes is Ian's "beat-boxing" during his flute playing. A pretty neat trick since the concert happened before beat boxing was really invented, I think. ((See what I did there...harmonize? (pathetic))
absolutely, its mind blowing what he does, i dont know where he gets the breath.
You beat me to it! Hooray for Bouree!
83 for me
This song miraculously found its way through the Iron Curtain and was played once on soviet radio. I was lucky to record it on my tape recorder and played it all day long. Listening to it now with you brought back the excitement and elation of that time. You are truly a master of your thing as were they. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel and I have to say, it is so refreshing to listen to someone react to music that actually has some real knowledge and insight to share. It is an absolute delight listening to you explain the various techniques being used, as well as just seeing you react so honestly to what you are hearing. Loving it!
Ian is probably the best frontman ever! Loved your video explaining the flute! Loved your facial expressions for R&R!
I agree 100%, but The Craze World of Arthur Brown's song "FIRE" is pretty awesome too, considering when he did it.
"My God" would be the quintessential possibility greatest live performance by Jethro Tull.
I have just put on a whole stack of hats, just to take them off to you! As a reaction video, this is top level, I love your enthusiasm, but I am blown away by your expertise! Thank you!
Jethro Tull was an early 1700s inventor of the seed drill and a very divisive character. Ian Anderson fronts the band that I first saw in 1972, and have seen many times since. Ian is a fabulous character. You should check him out.
Your expertise aside (which is wonderful!), you are simply the best person out there to share the wonder and surprise of new music with. I hate watching reaction videos where someone just completely misses your favorite bit, or something that is just so obviosuly transcendent or astonishing. You never ever miss a single one of these, and so are just the most sympathetic and exciting person to listen with. Thanks a million.
What utter joy and passion you put into this reaction. Absolute pleasure to have watched you view this old live classic. Both Tull's performance and yours a masterpiece.
I remember an interview with Ian Anderson he talked about parts of his flute flying into the audience.
Flying into the audience, haha. A friend of mine interviewed Ian A. a long time ago on the radio for a "Deep Dive" Rock radio show. He said he kept hearing all these sniffing sounds going on. He never asked about them, just assumed they were parts of cocaine flying up Anderson's nose! (Sniffs can be heard on the intro to "Skating Away" as well, I believe.
I don't get tired of saying that you put up a show everytime. If this isn't entertainment and learning, I don't know what is.
BTW, the electric guitar was giving me train in motion vibes throughout the whole song.
I went to two Jethro Tull concerts back in the day and they were so high energetic and FUN! Thanks for checking them out. It was great seeing you play the flute. You always amaze me.
Love me some Jethro Tull!
Randomly noticed your channel and was instantly hooked. You are a natural beauty. So genuine. Your body reactions to the flute solo brought a tiny tear to my eye. Awesome content! ❤
You never cease to amaze me. Your reactions are wonderful, and your analysis is second to none. AND, you play the flute wonderfully! I bow to you, as I always do. YOU are a rock star.
I've had a pleasure of seeing jethro tall with ian anderson twelve times in five of the seven decades have performed. The first time I saw the in nineteen seventy seven. The twelfth time I took my fourteen year old daughter to see them live. They toured the US in 2023. Which I didn't get a chance to go to.
Ian Anderson never disappointed. Any of the shows I want to. Thank you for this. It's always fun to watch your expressions Hearing performers for the first time.
My favorite Jethro Tull album is 1977's Songs From The Wood. I think you'd dig it. Lots of pastoral and folk magic imagery. The song Jack In The Green is probably too short for a good reaction video (under 3 minutes) but there's good videos out there for the songs Velvet Green, Songs From The Wood, and Hunting Girl.
Came to say exactly this!!
For me it’s a tie with Heavy Horses.
100% Agreed..I not only think the whole album is absolute fire from the beginning to the very end & although they have many great albums,, I also think that (In my humble opinion) "Songs From The Wood" is the best "Starter" album for someone who is new to Jethro Tull & Has a nice variety of their sounds/styles..I bought the album the very first day it was released/delivered to the music stores where I lived at that time.
@@robertpearson8798With ya,, "Acres Wild" a personal favorite.
I'd love to hear her reaction to Songs From The Wood. The choral intro still blows me away after all these years.
Subbed because you have great taste in liking Jethro Tull and one of my favorite songs, I can not listen to this without getting chills every time. Look forward to watching more of your vids.
Ian Anderson is a true bard. Thank you for looking at this.
Always enjoyable to see someone experience Jethro Tull for the first time. The look of delight on your face during the flute section was priceless!
It’s always a pleasure learning more about a band I’ve listened to and seen for decades… I never even knew of the existence of such vocal and flute techniques until you fluttered into my consciousness. As usual… fabulous to be loved and left by you. 👍🏼😬
Hocus Pocus by Focus has some good flute work as well. And some of the best lyrics ever uttered by humans. Really a life changing song if you're ready for it.
Another amazing reaction Lolli. Love the pictures you shared. Thank you for sharing your musical knowledge and flute fancies. You are the best my dear🥰
After watching The Beatles now and then reaction, I did subscribe and hit the notify all, and then I just watched this one, and I'm already becoming a big fan. Your musical Theory and instrumental prowess and vocal knowledge is great. As a lifelong musician I really love it when we get that kind of thing.
I have followed Elizabeth Zaroff over on her the charismatic voice Channel since near the beginning, and I do follow tons of reactors of all sorts, almost invariably people that react to music. Especially older music. But somehow you and Elizabeth are similar in that you both know a lot and have experienced, but can communicate it so well, and bring a sense of fun while doing it. Love it.❤
Great reaction. Love your true joy showing, and even more the shoutout to the bass and drum player wich are in most great bands just as essential for their succsess as the the obvious vocals and guitars. GJ :)
My gosh woman, you really taught me a lot in just a few minutes. I've watched probably five vocal experts analyze Jethro Tull already and BAMM you really explained some cool stuff I'd not heard before and It's very entertaining. Good JOb. Isn't Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull amazing as a performer, songwriter, flutist?
I love the energy of Tull’s live performances but for first listens I usually recommend the studio version…it is a much better picture of their amazing musicality. Great react…keep’em coming!!
I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull in 1989. Such a great show and so much fun to listen to. Thank you for the reaction and I hope we get another in the future!
Jethro Tull is one of the best bands of all time. I have seen them 3 times live and they have always put on amazing shows. The main people of course are Ian Anderson singer /flute player extraordinaire and Martin Barre on guitar. They did change drummers and bass player once in awhile. But it is Ian and Martin that make up the core of their sound. There is no other band that sounds like them. They are definitely at the top of my desert island list. I have been a fan so long that my first 8 track tape purchase was JT's Benefit album. Glad you were able to do one of their songs for your analysis. Cheerio. side note, also a good song by JT
Benefit and Stand Up were dope before Aqualung made them stars. Great albums!!!
🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼 .. I had a strong feeling that you could play the flute , Miss Lolli !! This was a great choice and , as usual , a very spirited reaction. Seeing your eyes light up when he started his flute soli , will keep me smiling all weekend. TY . Outstanding, once again FVM !! 💚💚💚⭐️💚💚💚
I fell in love with Jethro Tull at age 15 (52 now and they're still my fave band EVER). Ian Anderson (the one legged fluteman) is an extremely proficient artist. I believe you might enjoy:
*My God (Aqualung, 1971)
*Pibroch- Cap in hand (Songs From The Wood, 1977).
*With You There to Help me (Benefit, 1970).
Beggar's Farm (This Was, 1968)
Beggar's Farm was the first song I heard and immediately captivated me when I was 15 y/o.
Carpe Díem!
I discovered Jethro Tull at 14 - 66 now - and still enjoy me some Tull.
OMG I'm Back 40 yrs. Watched Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC after a evening on the pints in my teens/twenties and these guys were my favorite. Well done for 'connecting'.
Vocal analysis, flute analysis, music analysis, ... what more could I ask for? Oh, right, Jethro Tull tune to analyze next: Songs From the Wood. You're welcome. 😉 Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Thank you, thank you! 🥰
Just found your channel. Bloody fantastic analysis, amazing. Listening to Jethro Tull in the 70’s convinced me to play flute, which I still do and love it so much. Ian’s voice has lost its range but his flute playing has improved and is so expressive.
How good are Jethro Tull? - seen them a couple of times and they were brilliant both times - Thick as a brick” is well worth a listen.
I love this angel for her discoveries and knowledge to dissect it. With sprinkles. Makes me rediscover stuff
Ian Anderson is the flute man
You’re very gifted and talented. Always learn something when I stop by. Ty…
"The Pen".....that's what comes to my mind when I see you. Another artist? LP slaying "Halo" during a live studio performance. It's one of my great finds on UA-cam. Easy to find, it has over 100 million views. It's full of everything you love and is full of teachable vocal techniques. "Thick as a Brick" by Tull, captures a Robin Hood vibe with it's beautiful folk & Celtic melodies.
Supremely talented band and one of my faves since I was introduced to them as a kid.
As you explore more Jethro Tull, you'll find them to be a fusion of folk and rock. I think Minstrel In The Gallery is the finest example of this style blending of theirs.
You've got to do Jethro Tull, "My God," live at the Isle of Wight...1971, I think. Much more crazy flute action and my favorite Tull song.
Another of my favorite analysis videos from you, Your enthusiasm and joy are self evident and it pleases me greatly you were at your flutey best. Thank you so much for this I really enjoyed it .❤❤❤🎉🎉
"How do you watch and listen to the Fairy Voice Mother without falling in to the immature innuendo traps?" ... with great difficulty .. Keep up the good work, cheers🙂
Back in high school, a friend and I did a project together. I wrote an epic poem on the building of the first transcontinental railroad, and he did a painting. He picked Locomotive Breath as the 'background' music while I read the poem. It was awesome. (great selection, Mike!)
You need to watch Tull's live version of My God for some unique flute work. Jim
You are gifted at doing these reactions, which is rare in my humble opinion. Thank you for being you.
I'm new! Found you last night!
Wow. Subscribed instantly. You blew this out of the water. Best...reactor...I have seen! Your personality, your editing, your explanations...all top notch. And so fun! I had more fun watching this with you than I did the first time I saw this performance. Can't to see more! Cheers!
Beth Hart is an amazing singer and person that I would love to see you react to. Her version of I'd Rather Go Blind with Joe Bonamassa live in Amsterdam is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life
I whole heartedly agree with the Beth Hart suggestion. Maybe something from Beth’s catalog. The song “Baddest Blues” comes to mind, which she also does a live performance of with Joe Bonomasa. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
@@randyhochstein8455 Baddest Blues or War on My Mind. Both are truly gorgeous songs.
Also glad to see Tull covered. Ian's stuff is the only thing I buy cold without hearing it first. And I have seen him in concert 3 times, which is 2 more than I have seen any other band.
I love how you roll your head and shoulders with the music.
There is a flute solo from jethro Tull in Tampa that is unbelievable
Don’t worry, there is singing (of a sort) in the flute solo. Even if this isn’t right for your channel you are going to want to see/listen to this one. Highly recommend.
OMG, this by far is my favorite reaction video. As a wanted-to-be-former-bass-player, I love that you picked out the awesome playing going on here. Not to mention the drums and other things beyond my comprehension. Well done! I so look forward to more of your videos!
Too bad you didn't get a piece where he did a lot of his usual vocalizing through the flute, (inspired by jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk), while standing on one leg. The 1970 Isle of Wight performance of "My God" is a good example of that. A really good demonstration of his unusual techniques is the epic 1976 flute solo at Tampa Stadium(7:11). There is a very funny reaction to that by Finnish based flute teacher Heline on her "Heline" channel from a few years ago. His antics blew her mind and she became a fan. Just see " jethro tull tampa stadium heline". Very entertaining.
Wasn’t expecting a flute lesson, but wow. Thank you. Going to go grab mine now. ❤️
Yaaay! Have fun gorgeous 💜
I already surprised you with my sub... So there's THAT!
Saw Tull twice in the 1970s. Never a showman that could equal IanAnderson (who effectively IS JethroTull, like RogerWaters IS PINK)!
Lots more songs of Ian playing his flute, so follow the suggestions here please. He gave up guitar to pick up as a complete newbie, the flute when he first organized the Tull band.
Ian sez that this song is about, of all things, the runaway train of human population growth?!?
Jethro Tull is what happens when you give a bard a rock band.
Thank you for your analysis. Made me enjoy the song even more, through your reactions. XOXO
One of,if not the most, amazing musicians I have seen in concert! Wish I had the pleasure of meeting him.
What a fabulous reaction!!!
Love Jethro Tull, love Locomotive Breath, and what an incredible analysis!
Heavy Horses is another amazing Tull song ( from the album of the same name), their entire album Songs from the Wood, Bourrée (if you want more flute!), heck, anything they ever did! More Tull!
And look at you on the flute! I had no idea! You just made my day!
Outstanding! Takes me back to college, around 1978. Me and my buddies would gather in a dorm room, crank up Jethro Tull, and get “hungry” before heading to the cafeteria for our evening meal…seemed to make the food more palatable…your breakdown of music/vocals is spot on! I love the way you hear and explore every aspect of the song…vocals, bass, drums…every freaking thing!! 😊
What a brilliant reaction! Thanks lass you just made my day :) And as a flautist as well I knew exactly what you were going to say about Mr Anderson's techniques before your eyes lit up, you smiled beautifully, laughed and then said them. That was sweet as XXXX Now since you have a new subscriber in me please please please go and explore the Tull catalogue ....you will not be disappointed :)
It is refreshing to hear your take on this talented music. Loved how you break it all down!!!!!!
The most dynamic band you will ever hear. Classical, rock, folk, blues, progressive, etc etc. A must for real music aficionados.
I love when he hit the high notes on the first solo and I saw your lips start to mouth fffuuuuu...
Take care and please keep these reviews coming... I love to learn & you ate a great teacher...
You r magical...
So full of passion humor, and a wonderful musical understanding with just enough mischief 💜
This is actually a medley of two different songs produced many years apart. Just a great, great band! And it's so much fun to watch you react and enjoy this. I saw them live twice back in the day. You would have loved the shows! Ian is a flute master. Many songs reveals his skill and invention.
I saw him in his hey day in the 70s twice. Great showmanship! He would play the flute while standing on one leg with other leg in an up position like a stork. He wore tights with boots and like a sequins jockstrap… A draping medieval coat… quite a fantastic effect.
Love Jetro Tull, remeber me again on my teenage times. Great flutist. I as always i love your comments and facial expressions. And your stunning voice.
You are so much fun! I learn something new every time! You’re the best!! ❤
I love your enthusiasm and the explanation of the various techniques that Ian Anderson is using with the flute! I have watched reactions from a few professional flautists and I have to say that yours are the most informative and entertaining. Keep on reviewing!!!
I am impressed! Simply replaying the Flute solo as if it was nothing! Respect!
What a great reaction. Very and enjoyable. Full of life
So glad I grew up in this era and got to see Jethro Tull a few times. Ian is a great front man!! His comedy is in a league of its own while on stage.
I saw them for the first time in Seattle in '69. I've seen them multiple times. Girl you just struck Gold.
I absolutely love both your reaction and commentary, have subscribed, and look forward to more.
What unfortunately is missed in all of the reactions I've seen to this clip is that it is not just Locomotive Breath. The second part is a reprise of Black Sunday from the album "A", which was their current album during this tour. I wish the original post of the video made this clear. This is the concert finale and, given that, the energy of the band is amazing having just played a full set. They were always amazing to see in concert and I was probably at a local show during this tour.
