Barre is a most underated Blues Guitarist.. Saw him back in the Day at Boston Garden do New Day Yesterday... Anderson's stage banter was an omage to how under appreciated the Blues really is. Commercial radio is even worse today. Bonamassa is up there with Neal Schon, Gary Moore, Trower, Clapton etc. I almost gave up on a new Roy Buchanon type messiah but joe is awesome with his own style...
❤ Seen Tull 4 the 1st time at the 4th of July weekend 1969 Newport Jazz Festival . Tull, Ten Years After, Frank Zappa, Buddy Guy, James Brown, Sly Stone, and many more. Best time to be a 17 year old in your hometown. To many fantastic memories❤
Awesome!!!! Ian is still the pied piper of rock!!! Joe you were terrific must have been such a high playing with Jethro Tull. This video brought back memories of the 70's never missed a concert when they were in town even drove 60 miles to catch a tour. Thanks for sharing this video!!
hate to see Ian losing his voice, especially after he has made this world a much better place for the last 4 decades by sharing his talents. And Joe B rocks my world.
If anyone has seen the Jethro Tull of the 70's you would have left the show with your jaw on the floor. Amazing! I hired the school photographer to take pictures. His first rock concert. He was blown to shit!!! In a very good way.
i was lucky to watch Jethro Tull live in Bangalore 20 years back,i could not get Ian Anderson autograph,too many crushing me,i love J.TULL,thanks for uploading this great rendition of Locomotive Breath
Amen to that, I saw them in the early 70's in Lansing MI, one of the best shows I've ever seen, people should keep in mind that watching a band on you tube is nothing like being there live.
Awesome tune - always knew Mr. Barre was an outstanding guitar player. Glad to see he is still doin' it. As usual, Mr. Anderson shows his great artistry as the creative genius behind Tull.

Henry Jethro William Tull (30 March 1674 - 21 February 1740) was an English agricultural pioneer who helped bring about the British Agricultural Revolution. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows, and later a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many large landowners, and they helped form the basis of modern agriculture. Strange, Ian Anderson is also into Agriculture........Mmmmmmm!
MAS ALLA DE LO que TU DICES sSON VIRTUOSOS!! NO E SLO MISMO UN TEATRO CERRADO QUE UN VIVO AL AIRE LIBRE, NO PUEDO DEJAR DE ESCUCHAR LOS SONIDOS..SON UNICOS..!! NOTAS MAS VAGAS MENOS VAGAS PERO SIGUEN SIENDO TODOS MARAVILLOSOS Y EL GENIO DE BONAMASSA LO MAS!! GRACIAS POR SEGUIR DELEITANDONOS...
I have seen Tull for over 40 years. Saw them in Baltimore last month. Just great to still have them around putting forth the effort to please the fans.
Good to see these guys again. Saw them in SF around 1970. Hard to remember if you know what I mean. They tore it up then and still do. One of a kind, very cool music with the electric flute back then and now. Nice to see Joe with them. He is a very respectful guy, he turned down a lot for them on this one.
I totally agree with your statement,from the first Tull CD I found Martin a remarkable guitarist with a personal sound, great tone and feel, and very responsible for a great deal of the Tull's compositions,greetings Vic.
jethro tull on vuosi kymmenet pysynyt ja kehittynyt. tullut,on ja tulee olemaan merkki-pylväs populääri musiikin historiassa. toista tällaista ei tule. vieraana yxi mailman huippu kiaristi, näitä mihiä yhdistää rakkaus musiikkiin. live konsertti ei ole paras mahdollinen mutta ehdottoman upea puitteiltaan,,,,,kiitos
I love Martin's tone, so rich & outfront, he is a very under-rated guitarist..RS did not even include him on their 100 greatest guitarists of the past century, thats a crime...i would put him in the top 25...he has come up w/ some great riffs & hooks that will go down as classic 60's rock..
Joe Bonamassa is a great technician. Martin Barre is a great MUSICIAN. I don't know about anyone else, but I'll take the guitar playing of the latter any day.
@sweetsniffer26 Ian Anderson is the flute player. Jethro Tull was the 18th Century farmer who invented the seed drill (and namesake of the band, of course).
Joe toured along with Ian and Jethro Tull in the mid-late 90s, so there's been a connection between Bonamassa and Jethro Tull. Interestingly, Joe's still wearing the same clothes from his BCC gig, I'm guessing that these two performances were on the same day at the High Voltage festival.
Martin Barre! His solo work is some really nice stuff as well! Whom amongst us remembers when Aqualung was released? What a great time it was to be a kid...
Martin Barre is a great guitarist and he an Ian Anderson are the base of Jethro Tull. Saw the guys in the prime and Barre can kick ASS when the rubber meets the road....Locomotive Breath is one of my all time favorite songs...Long live TULL and JOE B. is JOE B. the best!!!
There's another video of this on UA-cam, more from the front of the stage, but it picks up Joe's guitar very loud, and Martin's guitar and Ian's vocals are both buried. Congrats on the good audio (and getting the piano intro).
@MOSKII58 Jethro Tull is a character from English history - he invented/perfected the horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 - at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Similarly, if you will, Uriah Heep are a rock band named after a Charles Dickens character. Right, that's my pedantic bit over and done with, you'll be pleased to know.
@sweetsniffer26 you mean Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull is just the name of the band, no one is named Tull, alot of people get that confused..but i agree Ian is one of the most talented frontmen & flute players..
@Tullisgone thanx for the heads up i will check it out sad to hear Martin & Ian are not together on his latest lp..thats somthg i never wanted to see..to me, they are as important as Plant/Page, Mick/Keith,Bowie/Ronson, Gillian/Blackmore, Bono/Edge,Tyler/Perry...etc etc..love those frontman/guitarist bands as you can see.
B4 y´alll Jethro fans start insulting I´ll state this: I got their LPs (original vinyl); I´ve seen them live; I read books bout them; I wrote worshipping articles on them as a Journalist, I played their tunes,as a professional DJ & also in my radio programs. Most important,I turned dozens of people to JT over the years. So,no doubt I´m a BIG Fan. It´s 1 of my top5 artists EVER, nuff said! Anyway, think IAN should accept his incapacity & STOP SINGING LIVE or he risks bcoming a parody of himself!
just stumbled on this saw JT 40 yrs ago. This was and still is a great song. barre has best mix on his sound and is used to band its not really JBs forum. All great though.
The sound on this isn't the best or the position of the camera but Ian or Jethro how ever you want to view him as is still great and his music and with Joe, how awesome.
ian anderson is one of modern times most gifted musicians and songwriters. he came from an era when artists played at least one instrument, most were multi-talented.he not only did both but also wrote almost ALL of Jethro Tull's music, both the music and lyrics. hardly any of the groups or "musicians" of today do any of those things. they're music comes out of a studio computer...and the end product sounds as much....peace...
Ian had severe vocal chord medical problems. It is sad. The last time I saw them live he did an interesting thing with having a younger man do the parts that were out of reach - almost like a young shadow/ghost/alter ego of himself. It was quirky but it actually worked and somehow was very Tull. They remain my favorite and one-of-kind band. And Martin Barre (no that's not Joe Walsh) is one of the greatest and most unsung guitar heroes ever. What Joe B has is technique, taste and appreciation of others. I like him but this is an odd pairing.
+Marc Bridgham Right oh! I've always loved this band. Magnificent performers in their day and Barre was always a heavy rock great. I've seen many greats on stage from the 70s to the 80s and Tull along with Heart put on the best shows I've ever seen. In my opinion Bonamassa is a great guitar athlete but he is simply devoid of soul.
So Awesome to see Ian still doing this so well, what, 43 years later! Billy 38010 I think it is a draw. I loved Martin as well, but Joe Bonamasa C'Mom Man!
Jay Ward Could be, but overall, Martin had his Chops on....you must admit! BTW: Colin Hay's version has better sound quality...and, Joe shines in this one, Cheers!
One of those guys has been playing the song for 40 or so years. He had a better feel for the tune and better tone, at least from where the recording was made. Faster isn't always better. Some of Joe's extra notes in the solo didn't fit the framework of the tune. It's a less extreme version of what you would think if EVH tapped his way through a solo on a Clapton tune. Technically brilliant, but it doesn't serve the tune. The lick trading eight minutes in seemed pretty balanced.
In their 70's heyday I only saw Ian Anderson play the flute. Found out many years later that the guy can play any instrument. He sounds here like he has congestive heart failure --- conserving his air while singing but still running out before the end of each lyric line.
You want ot talk about someone who added nothing to the song? What was Joe Bonamassa doing up there? He seemed completely lost. And yes, Martin Barre, is a HUGELY underrated, technically gifted, guitarist. If you play yourself, you'll know that a lot of his stuff is very difficult. Try playing the intro to Minstrel in the Gallery, and you'll know what I'm talking about!
He wrote the song and has done it for 40 years, he can sing in anyway, ANY WAY, he wants to. And his flute playing is as sharp as ever, so this is no "senior Moment" but the artist choosing to do things as HE wants, not like the record was done, or anyone else's expectations. Wrote and recorded, years before half the audience was likely born. Doing exact copies of yourself for 40 years must wear a bit thin...
@hego307 i heard he had vocal chord problems and possibly some sugery, i don't think he is singing this way cause he wants to, this might be all he can do ..
That's Martin Barre, Tull's guitarist. He is a player of *formidable* talent and has no trouble going toe to toe with Bonamassa or any shredder. Martin can really rip when he wants to.
Well, Barre plays what the tune calls for. It's not a contest. As soon as a person starts comparing players (of any instrument) they start to limit their exposure to *so much* good music. Please try to keep your mind and your ears open because you can learn the most from the simplest stuff. Cheers!
I adore "Jethro Tull" and really admire Joe (of course), but this recording and whoever is singing (ugh). a great idea, a great song,,,but sorry this misses the mark. Let's see them get the recording quality right and this is a smash. Wow if that is Ian, well all I can say is I am sorry for all concerned.
I saw Tull at Nostell Priory in 1983 (I think) and they were absolutely mesmeric. Sadly, Ian Anderson has not quite got the voice any more, though Martin Barre still plays brilliantly and Joe Bonamassa fits in well. But Tull without Martin Barre doesn't bode well.
@NialCaratacus Uriah Heep is a fictional character created by Charles Dickens in his novel David Copperfield.

Ian is a Legend, how could you diss him. oh you don't even know his name..reminds me of when someone at a Skynyrd concert would ask "which one is Lynryd?"!! Obviously he is having some vocal issues and at his age and as long as he's been around we should be glad he's still with us..many Legendary frontmen start losing their chops at some point, can't expect them to sing in their 60's like they did when this was recorded (in his 20's or 30's) just common sense..use some please..
Barre is a most underated Blues Guitarist.. Saw him back in the Day at Boston Garden

A magic memory. We left Norway right after the worst terror since WW2. It was a big comfort for us all. That was our second time at High Voltage.
TOTALLY AGREE...........
Joe Bonamassa and Tull......simply wonderful.....
Great performance. Thanks.

Martin Barre is a really great guitar player.
Great combination of players from quite different backgrounds, but it works. Loved it!
Great performance!!
WOW to see them both in ONE show would be really really nice!
when Martin gives you the nod ...it's time to ROCK
Epic Duel!!!two of the greatest rock guitarist in the world treading licks!!:)
I totally agree with your statement,from the first Tull CD I found Martin a remarkable guitarist with a personal sound, great tone and feel, and very responsible for a great deal of the Tull's compositions,greetings Vic.
I agree about Martin, but should mention he was not the guitarist on the first Tull Album.

Semplicemente fantastici
Joe Bonamassa is a great technician. Martin Barre is a great MUSICIAN. I don't know about anyone else, but I'll take the guitar playing of the latter any day.
I'ts so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To old to Rock and Roll, But to young to Die ! In its day Tull blew the roof off the Garden !!!
Great clip dude.
The truly spirit of the juglar.... never die !!
@sweetsniffer26 Ian Anderson is the flute player. Jethro Tull was the 18th Century farmer who invented the seed drill (and namesake of the band, of course).

Joe Bonamassa is the greatest of all time.

Love joe's style and saw Ian in my 20's 1!!
best shows of all time imo passion play -taab 1
A los viejos rockeros ,hasta los ensayos suenan de maravilla , (defectos de grabación ,aparte)
@Tullisgone thanx for the heads up i will check it out sad to hear Martin & Ian are not together on his latest lp..thats somthg i never wanted to see..to me, they are as important as Plant/Page, Mick/Keith,Bowie/Ronson, Gillian/Blackmore, Bono/Edge,Tyler/Perry...etc etc..love those frontman/guitarist bands as you can see.
Ian Anderson has another passion.Raising Salmon in the U.K.
sounds fishy
This is the longest i have seen Ian on 1 leg in several decades...
...saw Tull in Sydney in the early 90's,complete with the" man on the moon stageshow "...Fucking Awesome show...!!!!!!!... :)
Feras do ROCK
Awesome
GRANDES!! TODOS !! IAN, INSUSTITUIBLE!!
JOE BONAMASSA UN GENIO TOTAL!!
B4 y´alll Jethro fans start insulting I´ll state this:

Hear A Passion Play from Tull, Ian Anderson is a Genius!
There are so herligt to hear good music on marten twig.
Joe was doing Stevie Ray Vaughn at about 5 years old!
martin barr seems to be having a good time on guitar with joe ;all nice guys
Critics you gotta love them,they're everywhere! Joe B. has got the heart of a lion,as for you not so much!
ian anderson is one of modern times most gifted musicians and songwriters. he came from an era when artists played at least one instrument, most were multi-talented.he not only did both but also wrote almost ALL of Jethro Tull's music, both the music and lyrics. hardly any of the groups or "musicians" of today do any of those things. they're music comes out of a studio computer...and the end product sounds as much....peace...
well said
Pity I missed this running between the stages.
MUITO BOM!!

See another clip on my channel - extract from Thick as a Brick 2
Marc Bridgham lots of performers do this,billy joel for one,and has for a while now.sad to say..

I've seen many greats on stage from the 70s to the 80s and Tull along with Heart put on the best shows I've ever seen. In my opinion Bonamassa is a great guitar athlete but he is simply devoid of soul.
+mrfester42 Funny that - I think of JB as a soulful bastion against the encroaching awfulness of the shred merchants. One man's meat and all that.
+mrfester42 Go and play your stupid Banjo on the toilet!
So Awesome to see Ian still doing this so well, what, 43 years later!
Billy 38010 I think it is a draw. I loved Martin as well, but Joe Bonamasa C'Mom Man!
Immense Video.
Great Instrumentals.
Unbelievable.
And the Winner is.....Martin Barre,.....sorry Joe!
no way.....Joe threw some outstanding licks in there...and I'm an old Tull fan.
Jay Ward Could be, but overall, Martin had his Chops on....you must admit!
BTW: Colin Hay's version has better sound quality...and, Joe shines in this one, Cheers!

@@bobsee679 nice try joe, but Martín being doing this as much as joe live
Theres like 6 people there shows how much people care about Tull
In their 70's heyday I only saw Ian Anderson play the flute. Found out many years later that the guy can play any instrument. He sounds here like he has congestive heart failure --- conserving his air while singing but still running out before the end of each lyric line.
caps lock is the button on the left between tab and shift.
The Tull you see now is Anderson and, a revolving door of sidemen.
You want ot talk about someone who added nothing to the song? What was Joe Bonamassa doing up there? He seemed completely lost. And yes, Martin Barre, is a HUGELY underrated, technically gifted, guitarist. If you play yourself, you'll know that a lot of his stuff is very difficult.

@monktrane325 i meant no one "IN THE BAND" is named Tull..
Érdekes - de hallottam már jobb előadásban is !
whts name song? 06:07 love this riff .
way past cool...
Storm WATCH Alert !
Men ROCK N Ages !
Is Ray Manzarek on the keyboars?? O.o?
some people can't grasp a song, unless it's a studio version!
Sad that Ian's voice has gone, result of throat cancer and problems in the mid 80's he's virtually talking his way through
He wrote the song and has done it for 40 years, he can sing in anyway, ANY WAY, he wants to. And his flute playing is as sharp as ever, so this is no "senior Moment" but the artist choosing to do things as HE wants, not like the record was done, or anyone else's expectations. Wrote and recorded, years before half the audience was likely born. Doing exact copies of yourself for 40 years must wear a bit thin...
Music...
who is the final judge? and why is that?
@hego307 i heard he had vocal chord problems and possibly some sugery, i don't think he is singing this way cause he wants to, this might be all he can do ..
WHO is the guitarist with blond hair and a beret? Is that not Joe Walsh? Am I mistaken?
That's Martin Barre, Tull's guitarist. He is a player of *formidable* talent and has no trouble going toe to toe with Bonamassa or any shredder. Martin can really rip when he wants to.
Jam Ho Thanks! Man, does he remind me of Joe Walsh; he looks so much like him :)...I agree, Martin is an incredible player!
Have a good one, JH...
Well, Barre plays what the tune calls for. It's not a contest. As soon as a person starts comparing players (of any instrument) they start to limit their exposure to *so much* good music. Please try to keep your mind and your ears open because you can learn the most from the simplest stuff. Cheers!
Jam Ho Nicely said, JH; people need to learn that talent comes in myriad forms, and in all genres of music!
Fretless99 Cheers, brother!
Martin Barre, tone and chucka chucka master, I think JB had a hard time keeping up.
where is the flute?
It's in there lol, he is also singing lead vocals :)
joes not in the mix?
I think Martin can hold his own even with Joe.
"Tull" who? Jethro Tull was the name of a band that you'll never know. Obviously. Ian Anderson was simply amazing......wake up youth!!!
I adore "Jethro Tull" and really admire Joe (of course), but this recording and whoever is singing (ugh). a great idea, a great song,,,but sorry this misses the mark. Let's see them get the recording quality right and this is a smash. Wow if that is Ian, well all I can say is I am sorry for all concerned.
Ian anderson u muppet!
I saw Tull at Nostell Priory in 1983 (I think) and they were absolutely mesmeric. Sadly, Ian Anderson has not quite got the voice any more, though Martin Barre still plays brilliantly and Joe Bonamassa fits in well.
But Tull without Martin Barre doesn't bode well.
