- We are absolutely blown away by the lovely comments we are still getting on this, and other clips of our acoustic performances of Jethro Tull music. Thank you all! It means a lot!
This cover of Tull's classic "Thick as a Brick" was performed live at Empty Sea Studios, Seattle, WA. June 21st, 2014.
How does he sound EXACTLY like Ian? That’s crazy!!! 😲
The million dollar question. 😉
Bravo, !!!! Excellent job. You both play and sing beautifully.!!!!
Oh my gosh. The voice is identical to that of Ian. How is that possible? What an impeccable performance. I hope Ian hears this...
This is just impossible. Such beauty, my god.. You two are IT... Feels like i am witnessing a miracle...
Thank you for the lovely comment!
Wow, I didn't expect this... I thought how dare anyone attempt to cover a Tull song. But, I am astounded, this is immaculate. Absolutely magnificent !
My very thoughts...they really do the song justice! Paul even gets some of Ian's eye gestures in there! Nicely done, Paul & Marcie!
Voice is spot on, and the head movements and shifty eyes are just like Ian too..... Plus the flute. Nice job.
That's what caught my eye too, shifty, beady eyes basturd, lol, Love It !~
Makes Ian look like a badass. The way he performs onstage is so capturing and the fact that he’s doing incredible with his instruments while being so hyper!
INCREDIBLE. UNBELIEVABLE. THE MASTERPIECE OF IAN ANDERSON.
I WONDER, GUYS, HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF HOURS YOU WERE REHEARSING...
IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From sunny North Wales!
Bit of a Tull stronghold here, or what’s left of us!
I play a bit, so I know, bloody complex music!
As you said rehearse time and dedication off the
scale!
Not to mention that thing call talent!
FANTASTIC!
His voice is spot on. And great guitar and flute. Well done. Splendid.
When I hear music this pure, this beautiful, this genuine, I am overwhelmed with unspeakable emotion, and I end up crying.....
Classic
Not only does the singer capture more than a touch of Ian's madness, he sounds like Ian too - something about the effects or EQ on the mic. Good guitar work, too. Well done, son - well done!
Compression on vocals
Beautyfull !!!! Ian's struggling with his voice in the last few years ,this guy should tour with ian, his singing is gorgeous and a beautyful flute . Well done !!!!
This is what I call a great cover, one that shows a meticulous detail to remain true to the original style. The instrument mastery is pretty obvious, and perfectly made to cover Ian.
no easy task...love the "side two" version...believe in the day
Over fourty years ago when I was in tenth grade in High school my history teacher made the class listen to the whole " Songs From the Wood" album ( he was a big fan ) and I liked one of the songs , so I bought the album and it's been one of my favorite bands ever since , and this couples version of this song is quite good .
Wow, what a wonderful cover! Absolutely breathtaking!👌
Well heck you got this down. When you got to "Do you believe in the day?" I was completely entranced.
I've loved the music of Tull since my teens (I'm 68 now). They're one of my all time fave bands.
I too am 68
I am now 68, four and one year later, respectively, after the two previous posters, and I’m still in agreement. The band in ‘71, ‘72 & ‘73 was staggeringly great!
I hope you, nevrens, and you @petermalfratti7064 are still rocking as we head into our dotage. You’re never too old…
What an incredible vocal.....I've always imagined Ian's voice would be hard to reproduce but you absolutely did!! Great performance ftom you both. Thanks!
What i wouldn’t give to have a DVD of the 1972 concert that i attended. I was on the 5th row on the floor center. These were fold up chairs and after everyone scooted up a little closer i was about 25 feet from the stage. I had just turned 21 years old. Over all these years and the 100’s of concerts i have attended, Thick as a Brick 1972 stands above them all.
I had the pleasure of playing bass with Paul in “The Jethro Tull Experience”. He is the real deal and absolutely channels Ian when he is on stage with his authentic accent (he’s a Brit), vocals, flute playing , guitar playing and, when in character, the look. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he also fronted a Rolling Stones tribute and perfectly nailed Mick Jagger as well. Talented musician along with his wife, Marcy, who is a fantastic flautist, drummer and vocalist.
You made my heart smile and swell. Then tears of joy filled my eyes and ran down my face.❤️🔥💖🫶
Love your to homage to Tull. Your are both great.
Truly phenomenal.
I just love this performance.
Hello, everyone! Jumping in once again to thank all who have listened and left their lovely comments recently. Paul and I are very grateful for the positive feedback! We hope in the months to come, to record some more acoustic covers of Jethro Tull music and post it here. Paul has also been meaning to record some instructional videos and hopefully you'll see some of that too. In the meantime, let me know in the comments which songs from the classic era you'd like for us to cover! And... if you haven't already done so - we'd love for you to subscribe to the channel!
Heard this song when I was 10. The year it was released. My friends sister had good taste in music. Been a Tull fan ever since. Great job. I mean excellent!!!!!!
@@dbelex Me too! I was 11 at the time. Changed my life forever. 😊
Best Ian vocals I've ever heard. Congrats on your excerpts and how you covered this magnificent piece of music. Utterly listenable more than any other. TAAB Unplugged!
Wish Ian would hire these two for future concerts. Marcie plays the flute, Paul sings and Ian could just stand on one leg.
LOL. Thanks. :-) Actually, Ian sort of "hired" Paul for this concert way back when. Check Paul out in his full IA tribute mode. ua-cam.com/video/dFDUC87pmh4/v-deo.html
I literally LOL'd at the standing one one leg comment
@@Fun_in_retrospect :)
Ian can still play flute and guitar, he just can't sing
@@AK99581
But can he still stand on one leg?
Don't normally last through Tull "tributes" but you two are great. I would pay money to see you. Keep Tulling.
What can I say that hasn't already been said here. As a self taught musician and aficionado, all I can say about TAAB is that for the last 50+ years no performance/recording has had such a predictably exhilarating effect on me than JT's original acetate rendition. Only thing that comes dangerously close is Ludwig Van's 9th! And you have somehow you two have achieved a remarkable, probably unmatched facsimile. Amazingly faithful, respectful vocals. I feel such a kinship with both of you! Thank you.
Thank you so much for your very kind words, Dan. They mean a lot!
Superb!! Absolute perfection 😊. Thank you both for this outstanding and wonderful performance.
How absolutely wonderful
If i had any musicial talent to build up a Jethro Tull Cover Band. My choice is your vocals. Never thought i say this. I love Ian.
This is the one tribute band that I thought that I would never see, and I've seen a lot of them. Because there is a certain kind of complexity to this music, and instrumentation, that it would take a very unique talent to reproduce this sound. This is very impressive work by this band. I would think Ian Anderson would be amazed at how well his music and legacy is commemorated through this band's performance.
What a performance and quality of the song. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant edit! To me the best parts of the song. Acoustic only.
Awesome voice,Ian would be amazed,how close he is, genuine can't beat live music.❤
Absolutely lovely!! These two solve my greatest issue with live Tull over the past 50 years: a lot of the wonderful flutes lines go missing during performance because Ian can’t both sing and play flute at the same time!!! Such a wonderful piece of music! Hope I’m hearing it for another 40!!
Even Ian had his limits. You'd think if anyone could figure out how to sing and play multiple flute parts simultaneously, it would be him.
I want a DVD of this. A beautiful performance
That was awesome! Hit on all my favorite parts of the song!
Awesome performance they really gave this beautiful song its full credit for a time we feel we are hearing Ian Anderson
I thought it was a tape of Anderson singing until I saw Paul actually singing. Listening to this cover underlines what a phenomenal song writer Anderson is. As for Marcie's flute playing, it may lack Anderson's attack, but that is well made up for by her beautiful lines.
2 years and still come here to hear you again! :-)
Tull.... Most underrated band in history. Brilliant!!!
Phenonenal! A flutist friend (RIP) and i used to do similar parts of this suite at local bars while the rabble booed us and screamed for lynyrd skynyrd and mettallica! You two sound great and i liked the Aqua Lung Ending. Cheers from Buffalo NY
Thanks so much for the kind comment and so sorry for the loss of your friend. 🌷
That performance is just incredible. Took me straight back to early '72, when I first heard this.
Incredible!! You nailed it. Voice, expressions and movements. Flute great too.
I pcked up my old beat up guitar and played along with you guys < thank you this 6 string still has a heartbeat in it !
Why..........Has it taken me sooo long to hear this!!
I'm a fan right off. Hats off to you, Madame and Sir. Well Done!!!!!
It's just........(speachless)!!! Thank you!
Mind Blown!! Great performance; several times I anticipated Martin and Barrie kicking in. Great work!!!
I watch and listen to this several times a month. It just sounds good to my ears and I truly enjoy it. If there is a CD I would buy it!
It is amazing what you can discover on UA-cam...the first band i ever saw when i was 15 in liverpool in 72 i think. I was the only boy in school who got a ticket. The band appeared on stage as radiés then opened with the nearly release thick as a brick. My dad was horrified when he picked me up with all the long hair!. Lovely version here ...an unexpected please to come across..
Thank you, Philip! Lovely to hear your JT story!
What do I think?..... AWESOME!!! BEYOND BELIEF!!! And that goes for all the songs Paul's band does. There does not seem to be any limitation to what Paul's band is doing with Jethro Tull's music.
I would like to see a couple of songs from the album, "Songs from the Wood", if you happen to see this comment. Thanks for all the great music from this legendary band.
Everything about this is amazing. Thank you.
Very well done ! I wish Ian would make Paul sing in the band, really. And you chose one of my favourite section of the whole work in the end.... Splendid.
Just seen this. Absolutely brilliant both of you. Superb playing and singing.😃
Spectacular! I I saw Jethro Tull in 1972 on there thick as a brick tour. I close my eyes and I couldn’t Tell the difference!
Thank you for this wonderful presentation of Jethro Tull
What an outstanding performance by both of you! Just loved it. TAAB unplugged!
I see the last comment was 9 months ago. I have only just heard of you two and played this. It is staggering. Oh what music to my ears. I saw Tull in Norwich UK YEARS back. The small venue went black and as the lights came up Ian emerged from this little tent on stage. It was a brilliant night. Now I am 70 and you brought back so many memories. Doing this song you are Ian with wild eyes .Wonderful guitar work and flute and that voice. It IS Ian.
Thank you for giving me so much joy. Good luck in all that I hope you’re still doing.
Just stunningly beautiful. Thank you
Exceptionally talented.
Amazing and outstanding! Thanks you!
So nice
I often come back here to hear this masterpiece again and again... wonderful!
I’ve been aTull fan forever and this is awesome
Well thought, this magnificent work can be sttriped down to a guitar, a voice and a flute.
One of the best covers - wonderful music - had the pleasure seeing you in Huntington New York 2014!
Superb. The playing, phrasing and pace are spot on. Really top notch.
One of the best... maybe the BEST cover I've ever heard!
Very good, congrats! Jethro Tull forever. Paul and Marcie Forrest they're wonderful. By Milton for Brazil.
Far too few people go for side 2, and this is *perfectly* executed. Can't get over how similar your voice is to Ian's.
Time to play B sides #BOC
I have been playing Tull since 1974 acoustic guitar and vocal. I have heard a lot of covers but yours definitely has the best Ian Anderson sounding vocal I've ever heard. I do thick as a brick but I don't do the "where the hell was biggles" part nor do I put Aqualung in there, but the rest I do as you do. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'll be listening to some of your others! Maybe you could do the vocals at the next JT concert since Ian has lost his voice...
Outstanding ! Amazing rendition . Thank you
Outstanding, took me back to the days of my youth
This is amazing, what a joy to find this. Well done.
Stunning. One of the best covers of ANY song. Amazing.
I love that he can imitate Ian’s mannerisms. You really sold it! Nicely done!
You’ve made a new fan today.
A bit late to the party, but holy heck! That was such a terrific cover! I’ve been playing for about 50 years, always have loved TAAB, and have decided to finally learn it. Thank you for giving me a model to which I might aspire! 👍👍
Thank you all so much for your kind comments!
Just seen this for the first time, I have to to say this is a SUPERB RENDITION , THANK YOU both for this,
Speechless. Thank you!
THANX , IT'S OUTSTANDING , THE VERY BEST EVER VOCAL AMONG ALL TULL' COVERS !!!!!!!!
Thank you, Greetings from EAST- Berlin. ❤❤❤
A time when instruments had to be played. Poetry to music. Old age is the price we pay for being there when this music was new and first played. A price well paying. Well done again, excellent.
The best thick as a brick cover I ever heard and even rivals, or surpasses some of the later versions that Jethro Tull has put out.
Wow, William! That's so kind of you to say. Thank you!
Outstanding performance.
belleza , dignisimos musicos para interpretar este cover 😍😍😍😍😍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I became intrigued with your measured and articulate rendition. It kept me through the complete set. Thank you for your crafting of a revered classic from beloved I.A. and JT.
out efin standing ! no one does the light the sun on the back side, flute is perfect ! awesome awsome ! the effects on vocal are great
Thank you for keeping this music fresh, alive and able to enjoy in all new ways.
That is a lot of talent wrapped up in a video. Thanks for a great performance...
This is absolutely wonderful.
Really good cover. My compliments sir.
That was fantastic! Great performance by you both!
Brilliant cover well done from a huge Jethro Tull fan
Really impressive! Swear if I closed my eyes I would think it was Tull. Amazing job!
Holy sh*t! Saying you're a cover band is an injustice. Amazing stuff Marcie and Paul. Sheesh.
I simply can't say this enough, this is really profoundly a life affirming experience. Marcy and Paul can entertain me all the day long. Blessed are they who give of themselves to lift others.
Wow! Very Impressive! I can't believe the vocals...excellent guitar playing...and as for Marcie...her flute playing is so spot on!
Beautiful. Have been listening to this for decades. Just marvelous.
