Hi! My name is Heline and I am a Finnish flute player. I make flute covers, improvise and play classical music. I also create informational videos about flute playing and some other instruments I play (Akai Pro EWI5000, ocarina, dizi).
Ian is a genius and the whole reason I played the flute and decided to take it up again…40 years later. I have always love this band and I thank my dad because he has a couple albums I fell it love with at an early age. This Was and Benefit. I just too my dad to see them in San Diego I’m Sept this year. Amazing. Front row center. Ian can still play and jump around the stage. Ian is truly a legend. ❤
"It just sounds like he wants to experiment with the boundaries of what is possible..."
You just summed up the 70s in one statement.
Best Decade Ever.
As a 70's kid i 101% agree with this comment!
Life we lived...
And a whole lot of drugs too!
Just like Jeff Beck- pushes the limits on 🎸🎵🎶
Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull. He is so humble. He was one of the greatest stage performers in the history of rock music. The one legged wild flute playing from the Shakespearian mad man. I so much miss the 70s when I see vintage Tull like this
Ian Anderson said he tried to go solo severL times but could never think of any other musicians he that could back him up as well as his band mates
That’s a huge insult to Martin Barr.
He STILL is! Tull is now touring.
Jethro Tull is the band!! Ian Anderson is the lead singer
His band was so great, Aqualung such a great album.Ian was such
a wild frontman.
Jethro Tull are, in my opinion, one of the greatest bands; live they are second to none.
Rush is close
So on that note, I will form a band called "None" and do Tull covers
Still not in the Rock N Roll Hall
Well I don’t really know if Heline is becoming a Tull fan but it looks like Tull fans are becoming Heline fans.
I know I am.
Same here.
Yup! Same here I dusted off the old flute from high school and it's currently getting a tune up at the shop. Can't wait!
greoges note - Amen to that. Count me in as a looooooong time Tull/Anderson fan and now a Heline fan.
dito
Me 5!😁
ian anderson. one of the greatest showman of all time.
Sem sombra de dúvidas!!!!!
100% correct. Arguably nobody better.
Kinda like David Lee Roth with Van Halen
For me, this is one of rocks greatest performances of all time.
By the look on her face, he has a new fan
People who were lucky enough to see J T in the seventies had to be just Blown Away Ian put his whole heart into his playin the flute, even a modern day flutist was taken aback which tells you what a performance Jethro Tull with the band this was truly a great rock band !!!
I saw JT at a concert in ‘73. Ian Anderson said “we will open with Aqualung”. And they played the entire album! The next ”song” was Thick as a Brick. Same deal. Utterly amazing.
I wish I could have been there! So amazing to heat Aqualung in its entirety.
Me too in Rome, same concert, or perhaps in 1972..
Is it just my imagination or is Heline becoming a Jethro Tull fan ?
I think she likes Ian Anderson's showmanship and unorthodox techniques.
She's hooked
right!? I think so.
She's not only becoming a Jethro Tull fan but having a crush on Ian Anderson too.
Yes, Heline is gaining an appreciation of Ian Andersrson. " There are a lot of techniques you really don't see in classical music." You are correct Heline.
The advantage of being self taught is that he didn't know what he wasn't supposed to be able to do
Harpo Marx of the Marx Brothers was similar when he took up the harp. He saw a picture of a woman playing the harp and assumed that she was playing it correctly and took his cue from there. His technique was completely wrong from there on, but it worked for him.
@@NewFalconerRecords And he was approached by classically trained harpists who were fascinated by his technique.
@@silasfatchett7380 Exactly! He decided to take proper lessons from a professional at some stage, and he soon realised that he was basically paying to perform in front of them because they were more interested in watching what he was doing rather than teaching him anything. The lessons didn't last long.
ahahahahahah that's so true !
Its a "somewhat advantage".
A well taught classical instrument player have greater knowledge of the dynamics of the instrument; therefore they can be much more methodical in exploiting those dynamics.
They are afraid that that "wrongness will creap in and degrade their rigid techniques .
One of my favorites. I saw him 6 and a half months pregnant. Altitude of a mile above Sea level. He was dancing across the stage, doing stag leaps, while playing.... Never missed or even bobbled a note.... Didn't run out of air either. He was so amazing we named the child Ian.
That's tantamount to child abuse. You should have named him Jethro.
Ian Anderson, a stage animal, a musical genius, multi-instrumentalist, the puss in boots, the magic flute, an unrepeatable artist. God bless Ian forever,... love this man
Huge impact on my musical tastes ,,,, a favorite in my playlist
Since you like Ian Anderson aka Jethro Tull, you should try to interview him or do a podcast with him. This way you can ask him all your questions about his flute playing.
Mike Swegle My feelings exactly. I bet he would do it. Especially now that he has the time........
I agree. Contact Ian....see if he'd do an interview. Consummate super unique showman. Love Tull!
Good luck with that - he's quite famous for being rather grumpy.
@@KevinWMoor Who can be grumpy with sweet Heline???
I was thinking the same thing! And Mr. Kevin Moor he is not a grumpy person, he just looks grumpy! Kinda like me I'm not grumpy "I'm one big freaking ray of Sunshine" I just look grumpy!!! 😎 I'm sure he would love to do an interview with our equally grumpy Lady Heline! 😎😉
My generation grew up on Tull and all the other innovative musicians from that period. It was a wonderful time to be young!
The music was the sound track of my misspent youth. Maybe it was not misspent after all.
I was 10 when the Beatles came out and got my first transistor radio. From that moment on it was all about the music. I'm so glad I was on that journey and love watching her.
YES IT WAS!!
I’d say I grew up in the wrong generation, but at least I can listen to Tull, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, even if I wasn’t around when they were on the billboard.
I grew up in the 60's and early 70's, and I could not agree with you more! Me and my friends would sit and listen to Aqualung and Thick As a Brick for hours, unlike today where everyone walks around with earbuds listening to crappy mp3's of even crappier music. Ian Anderson was one of the most creative minds in music and I'm glad I'm of the age when I got to experience his peak output in my formative years. I like Heline's reaction to these songs because she genuinely seems to see the genius at work and doesn't give the usual professional musician critique of finding every little fault they can. Indeed, this was a most fertile period for musical creativity!
He's the Hendrix of flute.
maybe Zappa fits better
Have you heard The Wagakki Band?
Bamboo flute as a lead instrument for heavy rock...
What I found incredible about Ian Anderson and his flute playing is that he is completely self taught! I had always assumed from the first moment that I saw him play was that he was classically trained to a very level. The man is quite simply a musical genius.
What is even more incredible is he really did not know how to to play the flute at this time. He was self taught all wrong. It was many years later before he learned how to play the flute like you are supposed too. He has a wonky pinky too, that makes it weird how he has too play.
Yes!
The world lights up with your smile, and the air becomes even lighter with your laughter. Thanks Heline.
Beautiful honest smile
@Rene Paez What you said.
Yes!!
How many flute solos can one song have?
Ian: Hold my beer
hahahah, word
"That's a showman." I saw Jethro Tull in 1972. Ian Anderson, besides writing their great music, playing guitar, singing with one of the most singular voices in rock, playing rock flute...was dazzling on stage at that time. I still haven't completely recovered from how amazing it was to watch and hear him when he was at his peak.
Oh you lucky thing, of course I agree with every single word
I'm 17 and my dad introduced me to Jethro Tull, I wish I was alive to see Jethro Tull and specifically Ian at their peak because they are absolutely astounding to listen to. I just recently bought the 50th-anniversary vinyl.
and they were of course also completely in the nude, you forgot to mention that
Saw them in Dallas during the Aqualung tour. I had the best seat in the house next to the sound engineer. Still the best concert I've ever attended and I've been to and seen the best.
I saw Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull like in 1972 and the talent and energy just blew me away! Just a phenomenal show to be sure#
Ian Anderson did something I would not have thought possible - he made the flute "cool" to a generation of rockers. I remember listening to Tull albums in the 70s, and I loved the songs and the lyrics, but I was always waiting for the great flute performances.
And Ray Thomas?
Love Ian, but when it comes to flute, we can't forget The Moody Blues ❤️🙏👍✌️👏🏼
Ian's inspiration for his flute playing style was Rahsan Roland Kirk. Definitely worth a listen.
@@johnlundy6665 çontinue continue
@@johnlundy6665 or Marshall Tucker...Laurie Andersen
You seem a mix of horrified, flabbergasted and fascinated by Jethro Tull and particularly Ian Anderson's playing. I very much enjoy you reactions.
She works in an orchestra and says ,there is so much going on at the same time, that's rock and roll.
welcome to Rock n Roll
A lot to take in from the flutist alone, let alone the rest of the band.
When I was 13, almost 50 years ago, I walk around with a cassette player with my Aqualung tape. I probably listened to it 15 times a day !
Highlight of my week is watching Ian Anderson make Heline laugh.
Welcome to the strange and weird but very enjoyable world of Jethro Tull
He is like the Jimi Hendrix of the flute. He becomes part of the flute like it is part of his body. I saw him live in 1974 and was totally mesmerized by him and his band. So glad to see you enjoy Ian Anderson and love your reaction.
I saw him in concert only 3 years ago, he is doing a limited your this year also
You are so lucky they taped these performances or only us old people would be the only ones to see this
This was the one and only time I saw them live - I wish I could have my time again....
You said it bro, he was just fantastic!! I think I paid $2.50, what a concert! Think it was 1971
Cactus was the only band at isle of Wright that wasn't taped. There is no video footage of cactus anywhere in existence
A showman indeed. He wasn’t into drink and drugs - this was all him...
@Ron Maimon Source?
@Ron Maimon This is quite odd news and could be construed as an ironic joke from Robert Plant. I think you might be confusing Ian Anderson with Glenn Cornick.
It was a well known fact Ian Anderson spoke out against drugs (with the exception of drinking alcohol & smoking cigarettes). Glenn Cornick was the only band member known for drug taking and it was causing tension between Cornick and Anderson for years.
Ian fired Glenn Cornick from the band for cocaine abuse and how it interfered with the band's professionalism. Cornick was fired from Tull right after their live tour for the Benefit album in 1970. Robert Plant might have been pointing out Cornick but didn't specifically say his name.
Your take on lyrics from 'Inside' & 'Locomotive Breath' are also purely your own. Ian's take on 'Locomotive Breath' is about the runaway overpopulation & corporate establishment greed that dictate society.
@Ron Maimon lol
@@dunringill1747 thank you for clearing that up.
@Ron Maimon No way man. im sure by Thick as a brick he had stopped, but this is pure cocaine.
Dilated pupils and everything.
Ian is one of a kind. Acrobat , vocalist , comedian , multi-talented musician. Plus he loves cats....😁🐈
He is a genius!
@@octomancer I don't remember where, exactly, but I recall hearing a story about Anderson opening up the grounds of one of his estates to squatters at one point. From the way it was told to me, this would have been back in the 70's but a quick search didn't bring up any documentation of this.
Wikipedia attributes (past?) estates on Skye & Radnage to him, and a current home in Wiltshire.
You forgot....a Bard. :D
> Plus he loves cats
yeah, well no one's perfect.
I smiled when she jumped when the song slammed into the second part. I like the fact that she's very open-minded about music outside of her training. It's a neat idea to borrow from classical music to make rock music. I'm an old Metal Head and I'm familiar with how so many Metal artists went and tapped many aspects of classical music for their compositions. Great video!
Tull was my favorite band at the time. They were different from what was popular at the time. This time period was the best of rock music never to be repeated.
Sitting on a park bench...
I've been listening to him since the early 70's I LOVE the fact that you could not stop smiling through it all. It is so nice to see people appreciate just some good music. Thank You!!!
The flute teacher in her: "how do I prevent that my pupils hear that? I will never be able to teach them a proper technique when they heard THAT!"
Is there ever a True Technique, everyone has a different take on what ever their doing. I can remember a baton smacking my fingers for fingering corrections while learning trumpet, the instructor was a localy famous musician in the jazz genera, drove nuts, I guess it's better than having the piano key cover slammed on your fingers because you aren't arching them correctly. Did I get the twisted instructors or what?
I don't believe there were any other lead rock and roll flutists. Only Ian Anderson could pull it off. As teenage high school students we were mesmerized by his songs. It was all new and exciting to hear it for the first time during the psychedelic era of music.
Focus and Traffic had some amazing flute parts I think you’d like .
And an spanish band called Ñu. I prefer Jethro of course, but Ñu is interesting to hear them, and Molina as singer and flutist
Heline, i'm Italian, sorry for my bad english... i had your age during the Jethro Tull big success. Ian Anderson was the connection between Rock and Classical music world. Today is different, all is very serious and canonical, my generation was the generation of The Who, Genesis, King Crimson, more or less punk-hippy people... but it's very emotional for me see the reactions from your youthness, touching my old heart. Your generation is very cool!
Ciao, friend. I'm not Italian, but most of my great grandparents were and I have huge respect for the country. I'm proud of my ancestry. Anyway, do you know Premiata Forneria Marconi? I bet you like them. They're the greatest Italian band ever in my opinion.
And now italy won the eurofestival with Maneskin :D (I'm Italian too)
That is my favorite Jethro Tull song. That song made me want to play the flute in 1973. I didn't want to be like the next guitar player, so my parents bought me a used flute and I sat in my room playing the Aqualung album over and over and learned how to play like that.. my first flute was stolen from me while I was walking down the street, I use to walk all over town playing and when my friends in school found out they had a secret fund raiser and bought me another flute.. I've had a few over the years cheap ones and I still pick it up now and then.. I was 16 when I started playing.. Thanks for sharing. :)
I soooo much enjoy classically trained people seeing the reckless abandonment of rock music with artists like Ian Anderson. Such a fine reaction because of it. Thank you!
"Such a showman!" While these old videos are great, you really had to see him in person to understand just how great he was. Unparalleled by anyone else, ever!
I was lucky enough to be at the Isle of Wight in 1970, mainly to see The Who, but Ian and Jethro Tull just blew me away, if only you could have been there too the atmosphere was amazing. Seeing the band live was an experience never to be forgotten.
I felt the same way about Taste.
OH you LUCKY devil!!
😱
What an epic concert that must have been. In all my concert going in the 70's, I unfortunately never went to a Tull concert. A big regret. One of my college roommates turned me on to him and I bought most of their albums, which I still have!
@@reggierico
I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull live on probably 4 or 5 occasions.
The Isle of wight was probably the best..
Even got to see The Doors and Hendrix...
There will never be another Ian Anderson.....Never! I am so glad to have grown up with Jethro Tull. Their concerts were so much energy!
Growing up i always loved there music n still do.
Ian Anderson obviously does not care what the boundaries of a flute are said to be.
He is a born showman and that is reflected in his playing style.
Thanks Heline, the expressions on your face as Ian Anderson sings and plays are priceless! At one point you say "that was startling," which was a wonderful understatement as the power of the music was overwhelming and Ian's lyrical examination of the story of God and Christ - were iconoclastic - to say the least!
"Such a showman" , Yes. His manager in those years advised him to remember on stage he was an entertainer. And he carried that out with aplomb!
Terry Ellis...the Alis in Chrysalis. Chris Wright being..well Chrys. Terry managed Jethro Tull and Chris Wright managed Ten Years After.
I had the privilege to sit and talk to Ian Anderson for an extended time. What an interesting guy! After being a fan for decades and seeing Tull perform many, many times... it was a highlight of my life.
He was something to see, during the early 70's, in a live performance.
I agree I was lucky enough to see him in 77 78 79 and then a few times the '80s and '90s but they were at peak performance in the '70s
Attend every of his concerts in the USA !!..
Shrooms
Shrooms
I saw him in the 90s and it was still every bit as amazing, at least for me!
While Ian Anderson is a very talented writer, singer, musician and showman, never forget that the band is superb. The lead guitar playing by .artin Barre is absolutely amazing. I have been a big fan since 1972 when I was 14 years old.
Ian fired Martin years ago. Sad.
Until Jethro Tull came along, no one had ever heard a flute like Ian Anderson plays it. It's a special slice of the Jethro Tull pie.
Actually Bruce, there was, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who Ian was definitely influenced by, as he even included one of his tunes, "Serenade to a Cuckoo", on Tull's first album. Ian was definitely instrumental in bringing flute to Rock, and legitimizing its place in Rock music. I was lucky enough to see them, on what might've been their first tour of America, and they amazed us all... But check out Kirk, and you'll see his influence.
@@StevenCharlesJazz -No doubt about it.
I love your channel Heline, it is brilliant to see the post 70's generation enjoying vintage Tull, we oldies had a great time! :-)
Many thanks! 🙂
Good music and performances are timeless! Cheers
You kidding me ! he is one of the greatest freestyle performers ever
Watching the enormous grin take over your beautiful face while watching Ian's antics made my entire week. I always appreciate your take on all thing flute... But especially Ian Anderson.
The classic "Mad one-legged flautist". Don't forget that he wasn't on drugs. It was all an act.
Ian Anderson was known for disliking drugs (outside of alcohol & cigarette smoking). That made Anderson rare in the world of late 60's early 70's rock music. Rare but not unique. Frank Zappa was another musician who disliked taking drugs.
Both Zappa and Anderson also share the traits of being intellectual geniuses. They admired each others work. Anderson was once quoted to say "Frank Zappa is *the most creative force* ever produced from America".
@@dunringill1747 Zappa was the textbook definition of miserable dry drunk musician. I agree Frank was one of the greats yet his people skills were heh not so good the best example watch him play Interstellar Overdrive live with The Pink Floyd nope he wasn't on anything yet his attitude was terrible he wouldn't talk about playing with them or say anything exactly kind after.
Ian in my opinion is kind, can communicate, and is very intellectual. I have never ever heard Ian talk down about any musician or band. Plus indeed he was never into the drugs and drinking.
Ian famously told Jeffery Hammond-Hammond after a concert "Two beers, then you go to bed - no argument". JHH did not like this one bit and refused to talk to him for the rest of tour.
Where DID he get all that energy?? Unreal.
Same with bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, AC/DC etc for the most part. You can't write and perform if you're on drugs all the time especially a 2 hour plus concert. Yeah there was some and alchol and pot most likely but the ones that did the hard stuff burned out pretty quick. Your a professional muscian, act like one!
It's great to see Heline being blown away, delighted and a little shocked by Tull at the top of their game with this fine song from their greatest and most memorable album (Aqualung, 1971). Why? Because I was blown away by them in similar fashion as a 13-year-old uniformed (but not cowed) schoolboy at an ancient English school of humiliation and "dark sarcasm in the classroom" who was heavily into Tull and other legendary bands including Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Gabriel-era Genesis, ELP and Gentle Giant. Listening to such music was my great escape from the repressive grim- and greyness of that horrid institution. In terms of musical creativity, cross-pollination between genres, originality, tongue-in-cheek humour and sheer brilliance, the British so-called 'progressive music' of the early 70s was the best there has ever been. I was very fortunate to be alive at that time and going through my most formative years, and most of the uniquely wonderful, beautiful and stirring music of that period still sounds as fresh and exciting to my ears -- and yours? -- as it did way back then.
Heline's funny and endearing reactions to live Tull - especially Ian's colourful and exuberant musicianship and showmanship - prove that great art never ages; it just goes on inspiring new generations!
Delightful, isn’t he? He is phenomenal in concert. I saw them in the late 70s.
At this point in his career, he had been playing the flute for a very short time....to be able to do this in front of 15,000 people is mind blowing. Incredibly talented musician.
This has to be one of the most enchanting reaction videos I have ever seen, you are really feeling it!
It seems mean spirited and idiotic that faceless corporations routinely demonetise what is in effect a great piece of marketing for their music catalogue
Heline, your genuine reactions to the outrageous things Ian Anderson does are just as entertaining as the outrageous things Ian Anderson does. Enjoying your reaction videos very much. Thank you for posting.
Was lucky to be crushed against the stage in 1970, watching him do those tunes. O, I miss those times.
The 70s were a GREAT decade for musical creativity! I loved every darned minute
Do you check out the studio recordings of the live tracks?
"MY God" comes from the album Aqualung, for me, one of their best.
Nick Randall-Smith is right, it is lovely to see you young people discovering this music. Remember, before 1967 there was nothing like this.
True, but this particular version of My God is an earlier work, and much changed before it was included on Aqualung.
@@fordp69 True Aqualung didn't release until late 72 I believe.. My favorite Tull song.
@@maewinter2823 Aqualung came out in '71. Thick As A Brick came out the following hear. Heline - I think this performance came out in 1970, so he had only been playing flute for 2 years.
@@fordp69 Yes, with a few words that were self-censored later! And Glenn Cornick as well, you can hear the different bass lines.
The thing which amazes me the most is that nobody is discussing the massive cod piece in the room. Ever caught them live? I did 20 or so years ago.
Ian has said the reason for all the craziness on the flute was to make it interesting in a Rock band
The most eccentric flute player you will ever see but one of the truly best
Ian Anderson is the quintessential showman and also keep one thing in mind HE IS SELF TAUGHT, no training of any kind as far as the flute is concerned
Your being startled by the entrance of the full band reminded me of this. The first time I saw Jethro Tull in concert, in 1971, they opened with this song. It began with just Ian in a spotlight with his acoustic guitar, and I couldn't even see that the rest of the band had come onstage in the darkness behind him. When the full band suddenly came roaring in during the second verse as the lights came blazing up I nearly fell over backwards!
Damn I wish I could have seen that! With all the times I've seen them live, they've never played this and it's one of my favorite songs from them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I think I was there!
M.P. Dawson- ur discription is quite vivid. Where was the venue? I recall that scene. L.A. Forum? Thx 4 the trip down memory lane...
@@wolfhart1444 I only saw Tull once in March 92. The did play My God which I first heard on the Radio a few weeks before. I went the next day to the Record Store and purchased Aqualung because of My God. I did not have Aqualung previously as I had a few of the songs on compilations.
@@bobby666666 Aqualung was my first Tull album, heard some of side 1 at a party. It was love at first listen; frankly all it took was the first track. Been a die-hard junkie ever since and to this day they remain my favorite band
I absolutely love your reactions to his flute playing! I'm a huge Tull Fan, I've been listening to them since way way before you were born, I'm 63 years young! I've probably seen Tull live a half dozen times over the years, and he's still going strong 🌴🌴
I first heard Jethro Tull in in 1972....before that I listened to the radio and the Beatles, Elvis, Supremes, etc....mostly 3 minute songs, verse...chorus, verse...chorus...repeat 1st verse...chorus...song over....every song had the same lyrics...I love you, I cant live without you....I'm so lonely etc, etc, etc.....still to this day you can turn on the radio and here 2020 versions of the same songs......then that day came where I heard TULL with 5 and 6 minute songs and fascinating lyrics and a sophistication that I only heard in my parents classical records.....this sent me on a journey into progressive rock and changed my life....sometimes I think that my mind was not ready for this level of sophistication at age 13 and this complcated music slightly ruined my ability to hear the I-you-me-you songs that are still going strong on the radio. Glad you are listening to music I listened to nearly 50 years ago.
Wow! I don't know what else to say. I been a fan from the first note i ever heard Tull play. Been at many great concerts. I think Ian Anderson was playing music in time of Bach and the classical greats. He sold his soul maybe too God. So he could come back and play this amazing music. He stands alone! Just go listen 50 years later his new album out in April 2023! You guys tell me if it's not beyond amazing the music Ian is still writing and playing. Where is it coming from!!!
Helene: "It sounds like he's sneez..."
Ian: "Aaaaaachoo!"
😂😂😂
Showman, businessman, statesman, musician, composer, poet.... a GENIUS!!!!!
Ian received two honorary doctorates from the universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen .... not in music, in literature
I heard this music in 1973 when I was in 3rd grade. It inspired me to join band class so I could learn to play the Flute. I had heard that he dressed a certain way and that he raised one leg while playing. I raised my leg while playing in class and it irritated the teacher so much that he scolded me. My classmates teased me to the point that I had to quit band. I was the only male in the class so that made the teasing worse. I regret quitting to this day. I have a friend that had backstage passes and I was able to meet Ian back in the early 2000's. No one informed him that there was a meet and greet after the show and that angered him a little. He complained of having a headache, so I asked him to sign a t-shirt and left him alone. I didn't want to be a nuisance. I wanted to tell him my story and to thank him for being Ian Anderson. I got goosebumps watching/listening to this. Thank you.
I can see how a classic flutist would be gobsmacked by Ian's style. He was quite mad, but brilliant.
40 years later Ian Andersen & Jethro Tull still are amazing people. Thank you; we are still LIVING IN THE PAST!! Your emotions were mine ...... 40 years ago.
Ah... Living in the Past and Bungle in the Jungle are classics that should have come to mind for me sooner; instead, I was fixated on Aqualung and Thick as a Brick.
Tull's flute added a whole other dimension to modern mysic
J.T. one of the best flute blowers known to man. A masterpiece.
Heline! Yes, you totally got it! It was so refreshing to see a young and talented musician really listen, look and laugh (the humor is essential) at the phenom. of Ian Anderson and Tull and Progressive Rock at its finest live... now check out Aqualung and King Crimson!
Enjoy and Thank you😄
You look slightly scared, I love it! I thought your last Tull video was just great, Heline. You reaction was sincere , straight to the heart. Loved the respect you showed Ian
your channel is amaizing, you must react to Songs from the Wood from jetro tull
This is one of the most requested one, so it's quite high on my priorities at the moment! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the content :)
Definitely, one of my favorite Tull albums 🌴🌴
Especially The Whistler.
I was very fortunate to see a live Jethro Tull performance at San Diego Arena in 1972 . It was the greatest performance by any artist I have ever seen ; Bar None ! Playing the entire concert while standing on one leg was incredible by itself BUT to have the most exquisite flawless performance at the same time ........... truly an out of this world event ........... I genuinely feel sorry for any people that missed the concerts of my youth from the Beatles to the hair bands of the 1980's ! So-called modern bands cannot compete although maybe their computers aided by A.I. will surely catch up ............
You should definitely reach out to Ian for an interview…… I emailed him several years ago and he responded within a couple of weeks in a very thoughtful manner …….. would love to see you and Ian together talking about your experiences with the flute and music in general.
Look at her eyes! She is in love with ian anderson
CesarGonzalesF most of us lady fans are! ♥️♥️♥️
Ian has that way with women...My wife loves him too...The early Ian especially; he looks like a pirate...I like his Acoustic Guitar work better than his flute playing...
He is the greatest and so are the band, such talent. Follow that , no one ever has, no one ever will ever, one of a kind, and such a wonderful musical legacy .I am so glad that I was around from the very start of Jethro, and of seeing them live. They have been the backdrop to my life, thanks guys past and present. and thank you Heline you obviously are becoming a fan.
I was actually there! Blew my mind that you were watching this. Ian Anderson was a multi Instrumentalist like Mike Oldfield but mainly for Tull only played Acoustic Guitar and the Flute along with singing.
Ever the Showman the Scotsman would often dress as a medieval minstral and would hop around on one leg with the other foot raised to his knee, a signature him.
It is great to see the younger generation looking at least at music from the late 60's and early 70's and hopefully enjoying it, thank you for showing this - such memories.
I love Tull and of course love Ian. Absolutely brilliant. This is one of my favorite songs. And thank you Heline for allowing us to see you, a trained flutist, react to this video. I enjoyed everything about you in this video.
Warching you laugh at him got me laughing. I dont know why, but it was hilarious seeing your reaction to him. Enjoy your videos. Have a good weekend Heline.
We WILL make a "Prog Rocker" out of you Miss Fay :-)
I think she is about to get there. The charming young lady, who obviously have a big ear for music, seems to like what she hear.
Yeah, she's close, I think she realized that the entire purpose of prog is to push the bounderies.
@@fordp69 I agree. Heline clearly appreciates that Ian Anderson, although not classically trained, is a flautist with his own (unorthodox) style that shaped the Jethro Tull sound. Whether your a fan of Prog Rock or not, the standard of musicianship on show was always top notch.
Progressive rock was the music of true musicians. It may have not appealed to the general population. When I was growing up, there was a definite division between classic rock, disco and progressive rock. I took the latter route and learned to play most of the ELP compendium, as well as Yes, Genesis, and Pink Floyd among many others.
She should react to I Talk To The Wind. There is a nice live video of Ian McDonald with John Wetton and Steve Hackett. Sure, not the showman this Ian is, but beautiful flute playing.
Basically a self taught flutist, he shows what is possible, to make music that doesn’t have to be stiff classical, that comes from inside the musician and touches the listener 🤙🎼
Her smile says it all!
Heline is so chill. She's got a calming presence. Like her set as well.
I remember first hearing My God on the Aqualung album my mother was playing that album when I was a kid and I loved Tull. As I got older I had to hear more Tull and get every vinyl album possible. Watching Ian live when I was in my early 20s wow he was awesome.
I am a fan of Tull. I got to see them live 25 years ago. Never saw a flute solo, before or since. Loved it.
Heline, I love watching You watch Tull. You're adorable AND seem to know youre flute.
Best of luck in all you do.
She didn't need to say a word ... her expressions said it all ...best video ive seen today
Jethro Tull could be both classical and crude; I love it! Heline, I had a lot of fun with your reaction! 🤘😍✌Thank you so much! (muito obrigado!)
Being a self taught flutist I am sure Ian would be honored and humbled to appear on your channel.
Heline, you probably never imagined that a rock band had a flutist (Ian Anderson) and huge following that loves his flute-playing. We're not classically trained listeners, but we can hear the quality of Anderson's playing. And even a blind man can see the passion that animates his performances.
Legend has it.. it’s the Flute that was playing Jethro 🤫
So far, you've watched live performances, and some amazing ones at that. But Ian Anderson is so much more than a showman, and he knows how to use that flute in other ways too. It may not be material for a reaction video, but find Tull's Thick as a Brick, and admire Anderson's compositional skills, and the way he uses that flute in a supportive and nuanced way too. He has done some amazing work, that goes way beyond the manic live performances. A very rounded artist capable of subtlety as well as showiness.
And that goes with a similar dichotomy in his personality which is capable of anything from ego-driven bombast and audacity to generosity and benevolence. He's an interesting guy to say the least.
@@tullfan7872 One of the all around best people in music, you may laugh but think about it Joe Walsh ranks with him at least in that aspect.
@@johnnichols9056 100% agree. I read somewhere that he's played about 30 instruments. He quarterbacks the whole Tull enterprise as well. Amazing artist.
He still tours Madame.. go see him if you can!! His live shows (as you can see) are incredible! Shoot he will probably want to meet you!!!
He's mellowed a bit. Seen him with my son in 2010. Not quite as wild when I seen him in the 70s. Still great. My son became a fan in the 90s listening to my albums.
@@dottydew3673 it gets a little tough dancing around stage for a few hours as you get older, I know this from experience.
thanks to covid the concert got postponed?
I saw Tull 3 times in the early 70’s and there wasn’t another band that could compete with their shows. Ian is incredible!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jethro Tull has a sound unto themselves, no one else has ever come near it, and probably never will, they are unique.
I love Heline's response to Ian Andersons performances. I'm 100% sure Ian would be thrilled to speak to you about his music. He's still very much active and creating some great albums on KScope label.
it is obvious heline is an interesting peson and talented to boot. i bet she and ian would hit it off.
Ian is the Jimi Hendrix of the Flutists and you're the Jimi Hendrix of the Cuteness !
I have often made the same comparison of Anderson to Hendrix. They both picked up an instrument and without training just started playing, experimenting and transforming the status quo. Brilliance.
Guitar solo…but on a flute…the finest FairyRock has to offer…SOOO here for it…
Greatest showman and talent of the 70's lifts spirits come on world
