Being born in '73, I have one question. Why can't there be musicians with this level of passion and talent around today? Or at least why must they be such a minority? Music has never been about who sells the most records, it is all about expression, and conveying your thoughts and feelings to your audience. These guys remind what it is like to believe in magic again. Truly amazing.
Listening to "Songs from the wood" this evening, and I still loving it as much as I did when it first came out. Thank you Ian Anderson for many, many years of listening pleasure!
.,..man , the musicianship is astounding. ....Ian says." OK Lads...here we go....." and one take.... AFTER that big swig o' whatever it was... HAAA..! ..amazing
I don't think I'll ever stop loving Tull. Ian Anderson and company are some of the most underrated musicians, performers and lyricists ever to grace the stage.
just.....wow. grew up with him on the Radio. didn't particularly buy his records, but...ending up a musician myself, and had ears on, during this phase of generational brilliance, got a healthy dose of this incredible bands offerings, for say, the last 40 years. this peice here, is nothing short of stunning. Ian is a better singer, and entertainer, than i ever gave him credit for. this is True Art and Music. no "Formats'...no "Formulas'... pure unleashed talent and shining brilliance
I was in Bonn of Germany three years ago,visitng good friends,they took us for a long walk to the local forest, in Friesdorf,all along i had this song i my mind and soul I felt part of ii, I was soooo happy then!!
Two great masterpieces of modern music history. The song and the band! Just to imagine these sounds before making them real... It's plain ingenius. One of my all time favorite Top 5 bands if not the number 1.
Saw Jethro Tull last summer and they kicked ass. Sometimes I wish I was 40 years old by now... I wish I had the chance to watch all the greats when they were not so "Old to R&R"...You know?
Ian Anderson is truly talented and gifted musician and singer.....coupled with the rest of Jethro Tull...that music instills in me a sense of wonder, grace, beauty and passion. I adore Jethro Tull....I always have and I always will. They remain my truest pleasure. ♥️
I had a drink with Ian Anderson at The Woodlands Resort in Wilkes Barre, PA. I happened to stop in at the Bar at 3PM to have a quick Brew and i couldnt beleive my eyes when i saw Ian at the Bar. I spend an hour talking about different things,,,I think he appreciated that i didnt ask any music questions, Something i will never forget.
they play every kind of music, blues, folk, rock, hard rock.He is a great musician.I am waiting to see them in Athens again! Lycabetus waiting for your fluite Mr Ian Anderson!!! :)
Bought this album from iTunes on the weekend for $7.99 AUD - 10 songs!!!! All the songs individually added up to over $20 worth - so went for the whole album,and glad that I did - beautiful, mesmerising and exciting. Haven't stopped listening to it.
I saw Tull in their "Songs from the Wood" tour right after the album came out. This vid is just what I remember from the concert! It was FANTASTIC, as is the album. One of my favorites. Altogether, I've seen them four times. Consummate musicians, and I truly think Ian Anderson is a genius.
Tull has always been famous for their live performances. I am not surprised at all at the brilliant performance here. Love Jethro Tull. Have Crest of a Knave Tattoo. =)
Holy shit! This is perfection!. What an incredible band. I wish I could have seen them live at this point in time. When you see John Glascock in these older concerts you really appreciate what he ment to the band both in musicianship and stage presence. Thanks for posting!
Unfortunately, I was too young to see this, my favourite line up and my favourite era of Tull. I discovered them in 1979 and didn't get to see a concert until 1982.
I finally saw Ian Anderson perform around 1987 at the Universal Ampitheatre here in Los Angeles. Jethro Tull opened with 'Songs from the Wood' and it was a memorable show.
Astounding musicianship, unparalleled showmanship AND they look like they're having a fabulous time doing it. They simply don't make 'em like this any more...
GRACIAS VERDADERAMENTE GRACIAS POR NO OLVIDARSE DE LOS MEJORES MUSICOS QUE HA DADO iNGLATERRA MARAVILLOSO ! ME TRANSPORTA JUSTO AL BOSQUE Y PODE ESCUCHAR LAS CANCIONES DEL BOSQUE
With the exception of the amplification, they could have stepped right out of a time machine. What a wonderful song...where has the musicianhip gone today??
Ian's musical adroitness is certainly depicted here. Been a Tull fan since '68 (when I was 15). The first glimpse I ever got of them was on The Stones "Rock and Roll Circus" as one of the "acts". Even at this early stage Anderson's virtuosity on flute was astounding--made me a lifetime fan. I saw them 3x: (New York in 70's), (Toronto 2x in late 80's) Absolute GENIUS. Kevin M. (aka.,"Guidobrat")
Tull...are just Tull. Its always this time of year when the leaves are on the ground me and what to me is a magical time of year as we enter a festive season I feel the need to "dose" up on a bit of Tull.
Whether you like or don't like Jethro Tull, they're one of the few bands that never sold out, produced quality music. Much to be respected in the music world
love this era of Tull the one band,to bring the indiginous music of this fair isle into the twentieth century, cant see anyone doing the same in the twentyfirst.
Think this track shows Ian on his highest point as a musician,performer and songwriter!Is such a unique song, there's nothing in the world thats similar to this!
Saw them a couple of times. Fantastic shows and Ian's a stellar showman! got to meet Ian (won a radio contest) before 1 show & he was a shockingly regular guy and really nice. Also disarmingly intelligent. But mostly a cool, funny guy. GREAT CLIP! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely agree...
Like many things Western in govt, society & culture , popular music has greatly declined!
It's a gift from God
Listening to "Songs from the wood" this evening, and I still loving it as much as I did when it first came out. Thank you Ian Anderson for many, many years of listening pleasure!
Songs from the woods one of the best tull albums!
Ian your a legend to me, your music is extra ordinairy good.A big fan from you from Holland. God bless you Anderson.
Top notch musicians, the lot of them.
.,..man , the musicianship is astounding. ....Ian says." OK Lads...here we go....." and one take.... AFTER that big swig o' whatever it was... HAAA..! ..amazing
Amazing harmonies. Such a tight band. Perfectly in sync.
Hehe
this is such timeless great music... whole new generations will discover it, bon voyage.

Where has this been all my life? He's a mad faun goblin prince, leaking music and mayhem like a stoned Pan.
perfect description
You are very articulate.
A tip : watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Kieran Thomas definitely, I've been using Flixzone for months myself :)
Absolutely music legends Jethro Tull still # 1.....
I was in Bonn of Germany three years ago,visitng good friends,they took us for a long walk to the local forest, in Friesdorf,all along i had this song i my mind and soul I felt part of ii, I was soooo happy then!!
What a beautiful band. Songs From The Wood brings back a lot of really nice memories.
Two great masterpieces of modern music history. The song and the band!
Just to imagine these sounds before making them real... It's plain ingenius.
One of my all time favorite Top 5 bands if not the number 1.
Saw Jethro Tull last summer and they kicked ass. Sometimes I wish I was 40 years old by now... I wish I had the chance to watch all the greats when they were not so "Old to R&R"...You know?
Great song played beautifully by this great band. Love it. They were really something live. Glad I was able to see them.
That was flippin' PHENOMENAL. ..those guys were truly great together .
Jethro Tull - just one word, fantastic! Ian Anderson, fully alive, fully human, totally unique - what a talent!
Doesn't get much better than this. Wonderful artistry!!!!
This brings me Joy
Ian Anderson is truly talented and gifted musician and singer.....coupled with the rest of Jethro Tull...that music instills in me a sense of wonder, grace, beauty and passion. I adore Jethro Tull....I always have and I always will. They remain my truest pleasure. ♥️
JETHRO-TY FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES OF THE FAR AWAY YOUTH!

Incredible! Truly original. A great composition. And on top of it all, what a showman.
Awesomeness! Just wonderful. What a composer and what a band. :)
real musicians .
One of my favorite tull albums. ian anderson is beautifull.
Good point!
The most unique and incredibly talented groups of all time. I've seen them probably a dozen times.
The talents of Anderson, is worth more than that of gold!
they play every kind of music, blues, folk, rock, hard rock.He is a great musician.I am waiting to see them in Athens again!
Lycabetus waiting for your fluite Mr Ian Anderson!!! :)
Brilliant. This too is one of the more difficult songs on the album Seeing it live with such showmanship is a real treat. Today....what rock music????

Awesome! Ian Anderson is a great performer. Songs from the wood is a great album. Thanks for share this!
Ian Anderson bought my late fathers house in the highlands. Musical perfectionism.
The inventive and unusual (music) timing of this song is grand! Thx for posting.
Simply awesome!! The best band of all time!!
That's what we call pure music !!!
Great Andersan
Oh wow. This straddles my entire adult life. 1977 was my last year in highschool.
Tull has always been famous for their live performances. I am not surprised at all at the brilliant performance here. Love Jethro Tull. Have Crest of a Knave Tattoo. =)
Jethro Tull will surprise me till the end of time.
Holy shit!
This is perfection!. What an incredible band.
I wish I could have seen them live at this point in time.
When you see John Glascock in these older concerts you really appreciate what he
ment to the band both in musicianship and
stage presence.
Thanks for posting!
this is absolutely unbelievable how they pull this song off live. incredible musicianship.
Talented, Unique, A True Master. IAN ANDERSON! We may never see his like again.
I am the wind that fills your sail.
I am the cross that takes your nail.
Wow! Such exquisite lyrics!
i agree, the more i watch him in these videos and listen to his work the more i come to think he's one of the more overlooked guitarists.
Songs like this just are so impressive live, oh my god
Unfortunately, I was too young to see this, my favourite line up and my favourite era of Tull. I discovered them in 1979 and didn't get to see a concert until 1982.
I wasn’t - this was indeed “my” era of Tull; grew up with older siblings so this was performed at one of the first live concerts I ever attended … 😀😀
@@1ihws that's excellent, you were very lucky to see this line up playing live!
AWESOME the best single song ever written and performed...only Stairway to Heaven comes close
I finally saw Ian Anderson perform around 1987 at the Universal Ampitheatre here in Los Angeles. Jethro Tull opened with 'Songs from the Wood' and it was a memorable show.
You are all amazing. I like all the transitions.Songs from the Woods....ROCKS!
Awesome song enjoyed it thanks for posting real music.
There shall never be a band as good as Tull
Wow. ich dachte nicht das es eine Live Version gibt. Das ist wunderbar.
Thanks to Ian Anderson. Rob
Still awesome after all these years!
Stunning...just simply stunning!
Loved them so much back then - still do xx
This is pure Jethro Tull. Let us give thanks for Songs From The Wood and all the wonderful music contained within. Three cheers for Ian Anderson!!
Glad somebody else feels the same way me and my buddies do!
5 words about Ian. He was and he still is.
A century musician and genius
Poppies red and roses filled with summer rain, brilliant.
There is almost nothing better than men in tights...but Ian in tights- just melts my knees!
Love Songs in my top 5 Tull albums. Velvet Green my favorite of the album, but every song is solid in my book.
Astounding musicianship, unparalleled showmanship AND they look like they're having a fabulous time doing it. They simply don't make 'em like this any more...
GRACIAS VERDADERAMENTE GRACIAS POR NO OLVIDARSE DE LOS MEJORES MUSICOS QUE HA DADO iNGLATERRA MARAVILLOSO ! ME TRANSPORTA JUSTO AL BOSQUE Y PODE ESCUCHAR LAS CANCIONES DEL BOSQUE
I love minstrel in the gallery, hate too young to die, and I love Songs from the woods
With the exception of the amplification, they could have stepped right out of a time machine. What a wonderful song...where has the musicianhip gone today??
Saw this same concert @ Santa Monica Civic. Best concert I've still ever been to.
Just great, love him . thanks for the film..
A beautiful song from a beautiful band...

Kevin M. (aka.,"Guidobrat")
Such talent!!! Great to relive this.
Had to watch again...! These guys are BADASS.....
One of Ian's best. first saw them live back in 72, last time this year
these dudes still rock!!!!!!!!!...big up for jethro tull
they will never be to old to rock n roll...
Tull...are just Tull. Its always this time of year when the leaves are on the ground me and what to me is a magical time of year as we enter a festive season I feel the need to "dose" up on a bit of Tull.
OMG... There will never be another band like Tull...
What a brilliant Catweazel type character Ian Anderson is! A lovely posh speaking voice and the most brilliant music. GENIUS.
Ahh... it was so out-of-the-box when it came out. And now it still is. It was 11% popular at its peak, and will be 11% a hundred years from now.
My dad hates Tull, but that didn't stop me from loving one of the most talented bands in the history of music!
Whether you like or don't like Jethro Tull, they're one of the few bands that never sold out, produced quality music. Much to be respected in the music world
fantastic. The first time i have heard of this band.
Jethro Tull Songs From The Wood
Thank you Wonderful

Think this track shows Ian on his highest point as a musician,performer and songwriter!Is such a unique song, there's nothing in the world thats similar to this!
Truer words were never spoken. This was the song that introduced me to Jethro Tull!
Poppies red and roses filled with summer rain.....summertime joy....
Mike Cowburn kitchen rhymes and gutter prose, friend!
And there it is. My favorite Tull song.
Ian's the man. Fantastic! And great guitar playing, Les paul!
Celtic rock. A true original for all of us from the belly of the union jack.
Multumesc pentru melodie, kostoveninga!
Imi place!
No one does this quality music anymore!
What a band. Great track and such fantastic musicians. Ian has been given the Prog God award 2103 in Prog Rock magazine in the UK August 2013
sending love from deep in the woods in New England- blessed be
Saw them a couple of times. Fantastic shows and Ian's a stellar showman! got to meet Ian (won a radio contest) before 1 show & he was a shockingly regular guy and really nice. Also disarmingly intelligent. But mostly a cool, funny guy.
GREAT CLIP! Thanks for sharing!
INNNNCREDIBLE!!!! Just found this version! BEAUTFIUL!!
I saw this lovely girl one day and this song popped into my head and was so sweet. Doesn't get any better than that.
truly the one & only.......jethro tull !!!!
Never saw a Tull show I didn't enjoy but this band lineup was my favorite, and it's a great album.
