  • My Facebook friend Steven Dilligaf Hudson asked me to put an Aqualung acoustic video on UA-cam...here you are!
    Hope he likes it...and all of you too!
    Sorry for some mistakes in the lyrics at the end of the song! Enjoy!

    Ian Anderson himself said in an interview that Tull's music was a challenge to play live with all of the time changes and complexities. And here is this wonderfully talented musician making it look like child's play. This acoustic version stands side by side with Tull's. Bravo!

    Dude... for an italian you've actually managed to nail a tricky accented brit guys voice... 10/10 awesome cover!!!! doesn't sound too different from the original

      the voice is also almost identical wow

    It´s really, really hard to deliver the dramatics vs. subtleness in this song without other instruments and the tech to crunch it up, but to my amazement you managed to pull it off, Andrea with just one voice, one acoustic guitar - as simple as it gets. Resssspect.

    I’ve watched this like 20 times. I was in a really horrible mood. Now I’m not. Thank you, dude!

    Awesome cover. Those hammer ons and pull offs during the chord changes really make the song.

    Incredible how with a single guitar such a complex song can be played, I bet Andrea loves this song also, he transmits very neatly the song spirit, compliments !

    Ian Anderson has immortalized himself within his music and within the hearts of the fans of his music. It can only ever be played and performed his way. Anyone who wants to play it has to become Ian for a moment in time.

    oooouh shit. I know that people who read this won't believe me because I'm always commenting good things on people's videos, but that's just because I'm not a hater, and if I hate a video. I keep my mouth shout, understanding that it's meritorious anyway to upload a video where everybody can judge you. By the way, this video is incredible. I really like the cover and even the feeling you express with your performance. Nice job man.
