"Cause you were bred, for humanity......And sold...... to society." One of the greatest lyric lines ever written.
In a pantheon of Rock & Roll Legends. Jethro Tull, is "Piped Piper" of them all. You can not listen without his tale touching your heart.
Its so hard to believe thaere are people who havent heard jethro tull.
One of my all time favorite Tull songs great songs since 1974 ,the instruments all just blend . An amazing arrangement .
One of the greatest songs ever created!
Wow....the 'Tull', a rabbit hole of joy! There's so much to explore.
I could not put it better myself, touche!
It's always a pleasure to see a young person listen and FEEL Ian's music. They will realize that Ian Anderson was the most prolific consummate Rock star and no one remotely comes close to his excellence as a composer, and performer. He was EPIC. An enigma. The greatest rock performer of all time
Tull !!!! Let's Go !!!!
"Looking for a sign the Universal Mind has written you into the Passion Play" - great lyrics
"Enjoyful" works for me. Jethro Tull is a deep well to drink from. I look forward to your next adventure with them.
One of the world's most underrated bands. Jethro Tull is primarily a progressive rock band that incorporates folk, jazz, classical, blues, hard rock, soft rock, pop rock, medieval, and more with brilliance & top tier talent. Ian Anderson is a genius and arguably rock's number one showman for live concert performances.
Completely agree on the number one showman and i'll put in my vote for most talented front man for any band in any era-Plant, Ozzy, Daltrey, Jagger etc. never could combine the instrumental prowess, music/song writing, lyrics AND showmanship. Amazing to this day-long live Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull!
Hardly underrated by its tens of millions of fans.
underrated on vinyl yes but live hands dow the worse band ive ever seen and ive seen plenty, his voice was totally shot probably around 1995
@@mega00760 Over touring can cause that. In Ian's case, he suffered a vocal chord blowout during the 1984 Under Wraps tour. He suffered permanent vocal chord damage and could never sing the same again.
Anderson was still able to put on a great show. He just needed a new vocalist to take his place for the band. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Anderson easily could have kept entertaining the crowd theatrically and without singing.
Regardless, Jethro Tull's live concerts were top tier entertainment in every way from 1968 through 1984. Outside of Ian's vocals, live shows were still great afterward.
He was the best showman back then. But now he's past his prime. And his voice is completely shot!
Stand Up & Benifit my favorite albums by Tull. One of the greatest musicians on the planet. Ian Anderson!
I love that this song is your introduction to Jethro Tull. It’s my personal favorite of theirs. Keep discovering them. You’re in for an experience.
This band is legendary they craved out their niche in rock/folk, they are unmistakable when you hear them. Ian Anderson lead vocal, plays acoustic guitar and flute, is a genius.
Love that song. Great reaction thanks.
I just realized I'm always miming the fingering of various instruments too, especially while listening to Jethro Tull!
Jethro Tull
Ian Anderson - vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, saxophone
Martin Barre - electric guitar, Spanish guitar
John Evan - piano, organ, synthesizers, accordion
Jeffrey Hammond - lead vocals and spoken word (on "Sealion II"), bass guitar, string bass
Barriemore Barlow - drums, percussion
I love the way Ian Anderson combines Scottish music with hard rock or heavy metal. And British folk music along with it. I love it. Always have. And I am a Mexican American.
More Jethro Tull please
This is a top tier JT song, although there are dozens of others in the top tier. Keep exploring!
What a way to start! Off the beaten path a little bit but you get the Jethro Tull feel.
growing up in southern ontario as a teen in the 70's many young Quebecois would travel here to work in the tobacco fields along side us
and almost to a man they all seemed to be huge Jethro Tull fans!
that worked for me as i was too...........
SO many great songs by Jethro Tull! One of the most creative rock bands ever. Ian Anderson was well known for his incredible flute solos. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Verdy!
it was so cute when she reacts to the flute--- she truly doesn't know what to expect!
Accordian is the english word too. Please do more Jethro Tull. Any of the albums below, in my message below. Or if just a song, I recommend "Mother Goose" "Minstrel in the Gallery" "My God" "Locomotive Breath" "Teacher" "Wind up" "One Brown Mouse"/ "Passion Play and Thick as a Brick" are my favorite songs by them, (each of these last two are one whole musical piece, one song per album!!) Scott Rowland
Enjoy your journey with Jethro Tull ! There is so much to explore. Folk, hardrock, middle age minstrel songs, little bit of jazz. They never did music for the charts. Only for their fans. Everybody has it's own favourite albums. First they were on the bluesy trip, then they became rockier. They tried to integrate synthezisers (later Ian Anderson said that they decided to keep the bassman Dave, hihi).
My favourite albums are "Songs from the Wood" in one row with "Heavy Horses" and "Stormwatch".
Have fun and enjoy...
You'd really enjoy the band's classic Aqualung and Thick as a Brick albums, the first a rocker and the second a progressive rock landmark.
Ian Anderson was the band's leader, singer, songwriter, acoustic guitarist and flutist. He surrounded himself with tremendous musicians, including Martin Barre on lead guitar and various great drummers and keyboardists.
The instrument you mentioned is called an accordion in English.
Passion Play would also be an excellent choice!
The Aqualung Album is in my personal top 10 of all time LP's
Flautist
There is amazing material on "This Was", "Stand Up" and "Benefit" that all preceded "Aqualung."
The song, "Teacher" is an anthemic classic with its iconic bass line, and its life lesson.
"Then there's "Living in the Past" and "Wondering Again."
Don't forget "Minstrel in the Gallery." "One White Duck/ 0^10 = Nothing At All.) is another of my favorites.
@@ozvidart This song was actually cut from A Passion Play, to be later recorded for War Child
Jethro Tull is an amazin' band 'n I'm certain you'll love takin' a deeper dive. I've seen 'em in concert many, many times-the first bein' in 1970 for the Benefit tour. Please check out the album Benefit-their 3rd. A classic! But they have so many classics. Nice to see you hearin' 'n enjoyin' their music for the first time.
Verdy 🥰 my girl this is one of my favorite songs I am so glad you have arrived to the Jethro Tull rabbit hole you ain’t heard nothing yet! Here are some songs you want to check out Budapest, One White Duck, Reasons For Waiting, Look Into The Sun, Bouree, Nursie, Dun Ringill, Mother Goose, Life Is A Long Song, Wond’ring Aloud, My God, Farm On The Freeway and of course Thick As A Brick dig in enjoy👍🏽🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
Great reaction to some rather off-piste Jethro Tull. I personally love the War Child Album , it has some great tracks and is very reflective of the band on the way up to their peak. You should now take in a live performance of just about anything they do , it is sure to blow your mind. Ian Anderson was among the most entertaining front men of rock when he was in his prime and the rest of the band ( in various line-ups ) were always super-talented. More JT Please
I agree you must see a live performance. He’s so animated…. And I love it when they use the flute.
I do concur.
Also love the War Child Album
I love the War Child album. Skating Away is another great song by Ian Anderson. It is not hard to understand Everyday you don't know if today is a great day or a fall through the ice day.
@@genegibson1690 Well said.
I've been hoping to see some Jethro Tull reactions! Thick as a Brick is a great one to watch a live performance.
Yes, thick as a Brick, live Madison Square Garden is the best video ever if you can find it
She would also like one of my personal favorites - "A Passion Play", another so-called concept album.
Yes, accordion. And, don't forget the tabla! And there was also a hint of regular drums. Yeah, with Jethro Tull there's GOTTA be a flute!
Now, try "Black Satin Dancer".
I've always loved this song. It's so upbeat and has a steady, persistent elevation of the pace and feeling. The unbelievable balance of all of these instruments as they are introduced is just absolutely amazing. Great song.
It’s been awhile since I’ve heard this album…Ian Anderson I have always felt even now is a genius. his ability to weave a narrative with music and lyrics is absolutely brilliant…what fun it is to hear the music of my youth…Bravo Verdy…
Their late 60s and 70s material is legendary and they are a genre unto themselves, a stew of hard rock, folk, jazz, classical, blues and new age, and all ultimately a vehicle for Ian Anderson's musical genius. Try Locomotive Breath, one of their very best. Initial shout outs to Ian Anderson (singer, song writer, flute, acoustic guitar, various horn instruments) and Martin Barre (lead guitar) for keeping them going into this century with quality music throughout their careers. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎷🎹🎶
I've subscribed so I can see you react to more Jethro Tull. They mix rock, folk, jazz, and classical while giving it a feel of being played by minstrels transported from the 16th century. As others have said, you have got to see a live performance. I too would suggest "Thick As A Brick".
I hope you steer her back to the beginning then. They were brilliant right out of the gate.
I'm glad you like this song. I'm a massive, lifelong Tull fan and this is my older brother's favorite Tull song. For good reason.
The clear and simple joy on your face when the flute starts, delightful. Jethro tull were among the most fearless in terms of adding the instruments they wanted to their songs. Love you sister, thanks for this.
A great song by one of the very best bands of my life, fantastic concerts too. I saw them 4 times between 1975 and 2016. The albums from "Stand Up" "Benefit" "Aqualung" "Thick as a Brick" "Passion Play"(my favorite) "Bursting Out" "Heavy Horses" "Minstrel in the Gallery" "Songs from the Wood" all great. Kind regards Scott Rowland
he is great to watch live.💚🎸🤘
I’ve been a JT fan since 1971; this is my very favorite song 👍🏻💗
A polifonia é maravilhosa!! Tudo se junta num final harmonioso numa melodia linda!! É absolutamente prazeroso!!
The band was known for using some unusual instruments. One of the live versions available on UA-cam features a lute, and mandolin, with the mandolin playing the lead part. I think that's what sounds a bit like a banjo, because of its pitch. I enjoyed your reaction.
This album has a special place in my heart and memories, my oldest brother owned it and whenever he left the house I used to borrow it to play and put back without his knowledge lol I felt so sneaky he he but years later he said he always knew. Happy memory, loved seeing your reaction. Thanks for giving me this reminder of things lost 🙂
Great reaction Verdy! You must listen to more Jethro Tull. So much good, unique music.
Welcome to a massive rabbit hole!!! Cross eyed Mary from Aqualung is another song I'm sure you'd enjoy. Tull started off a blues band and soon became a fusion of folk,blues and rock . A really unique sound unlike any other. Check out "Heavy Horses " imho their greatest album .....BUT.....there are so many good ones!!!!! Great reaction 👍Ian Anderson ia a self taught master on the flute.
I love the layers on layers of sound building in this song. This is maybe my favorite Tull song.
I've always thought of this song as a secret society of people who love it and get it, like those people who made it to Devil's Tower, Wyoming in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
It is nice to see that you really hear the music. I find that when I am listening to music my focus switches from instrument to instrument, then at times I try to just listen to the overall sound. If it is a favorite song, I will listen to the whole song focusing on one thing at a time, (focus on like the bass or drums for the whole song). By the way Tull was great in concert!
Verdy great job with your reaction to Skating Away On Thin Ice Of The New Day from Jethro Tull.
Reasons for waiting
Nothing is easy
Warchild
Look into the summer
JT always ! one of my faves !
Long time favorite. When young I could sign along not today! Enjoy your trip into Jethro Tull!
Warchild was the first Tull album I ever owned years ago, it was a gift from someone. I really started listening to a lot more progressive rock albums after that. There's lots of great music on the classic era Tull albums, including this one. Some great live videos floating around UA-cam also.
Absolutely love it when the bass comes in. Comes driving at you
Do see them live. JT have been described as "a medieval folk band taken over by a gang of pirates" - about right. Peak entertainment, briiliant musicians!
I must mention Songs from the Wood. Paired back,. beautiful, captivating, genius progressive folk music.
This will be such a good ride! Enjoy, Verdy! :)
One of my favourite songs ever.
I've been enjoying Jethro Tull for over 50 years. Under Wraps is a great album that came out in 1984, enjoy!!
Tull is my favorite. Thanks, Verdy!
YES, a paradise for instruments!
yeah I am almost sure you would enjoy the entire side one of Thick as a Brick
It's really great when I watch a young person appreciate Tull. I wish you could have seen them live "back in the day". As others have mentioned, listen to 'Thick as a Brick'. Enjoy!
I love how this song usually makes people smile. Can't help it.
Still a phenomenal band live, enough now……..great musicians. Probably the most intelligent rock musician of them. All Anderson’s lyrics are thought provoking . Wonderful reaction to great tune of an album which moved me when I bought it and even now.
Jethro tull..is great 🎸
There's so much going on here, it's easy to miss some of the amazing lyrics, such as "Looking for some sign that the Universal Mind has written you into the Passion Play". Absolument merveilleuse.
Wow, such a sweet reaction by a truly beautiful girl
Omg it is a must to react to Tull live!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing J.T. masterpiece!
Thank you, Ms. 🙏👑
Ian Anderson is a prodigy and one of the forefathers of Prog
My favourite band for the last 55 years - there is so much more to discover.
Starting the day with a cup of very British tea!
Brilliant. Love Jethro Tull. A mixture of acoustic songs and heavy tick songs. My fave album is the concept album A Passion Play. A few YT Reactors react to live clips from the late 70s as Ian is so animated on stage.
Be sure and check out the early albums "Stand Up" and "Benefit" which have a different feel to them than the later material, but there's some brilliant arrangements I'm sure you'll appreciate. And of course, there is so much to explore ~ "Thick As A Brick", "Aqualung", "Passion Play", "Songs From The Wood" and so much more. Ian Anderson is just brilliant as a songwriter, arranger and performer and his bandmates are always top-notch and cream-of-the-crop musicians as well. Enjoy.
Yeah she Loves It
Remember: Tull are a band with an incredible variety of styles. There is folk, prog, hard rock, blues, jazz, classical, synth pop period, Asian and world music.
Personally I would suggest to start with some classics like Aqualung, Cross Eyed Mary, Locomotive Breath, Bourée, Thick as a Brick or Songs From the Wood
Why on earth did the British Isles produce so much astounding music during the 70s? This is just stunningly good.
This is eternal enigma for me to.
One of my favorites by them. The rhythm pulls me in.
I love that yougsters like you are loving this
❤
Coming in the top 5 of favorite Tull songs.
Ian Anderson. One of the most gifted and bizarre singer/songwriter/musician/ [and performers!] ever.
This particular song drew me to this channel. Good pick!
Just liked & subscribed. Fantastic reaction; the smile on your face is undeniable. Another long-time JT fan here. My 1st Tull lp was 'Thick as a Brick' which I purchased in the summer of '72. I loved that album madly; I played it over and over. Became an instant fan and bought just about every subsequent album. As stated elsewhere in the comments, I agree you are hearing a sitar, not a banjo. The sitar became a thing in late-1960s rock. In 1968, the Beatles (and other musicians) visited the Maharishi in India for meditation and enlightenment. The sitar was subsequently utilized in several Beatles' songs, and then other groups picked up on the sound.
Love it!new instruments enter in each new verse!!! brilliant!
Ian Anderson is the greatest all around talent in the history of rock! No one is close!
That was one of my very first mp3 downloads in ´98 or so. It had many sources on audiogalaxy which had more ˋobscure’ music than Napster. And without knowing, I had hit my JT jackpot since it remained my favorite song although I listened to many of their records. Keep on discovering!! :D
BTW, in German it’s also called Akkordeon.
My favourite music from my favourite group
I agree with other comments. Jethro Tull is a band thats well worth exploring.
Jethro Tull - War Child holds a special place for me.
The first time I saw Jethro Tull live was the opening of the War Child 1975 North American Tour in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina in early January.
They actually stayed at the then Hilton Hotel within walking distance of my childhood home in West Asheville.
They stayed at the Hilton for nearly 2 weeks while they rehearsed and put the tour together.
I remember it being a great show with phenomenal sounds and staging.
The band Carmen opened for Tull.
Jethro Tull had a real string quartet that were part of the band, and modern dancers.
The band was Martin Barre- guitars/marimba....John Evan-keyboards/accordion....Barriemore Barlow-drum kit/glockenspiel/percussion....Jeffrey Hammond-bass/vocals and of course Ian Anderson-flute/acoustic guitar/soprano sax/mandolin and sporting a vest, waist coat with tails, tights, boots and the ever popular codpiece.
He looked like he stepped out of the pages of an 18th Century English history book.
The whole concert was outstanding with Ian Anderson...the greatest frontman in rock at the helm.👍👍
Any Album, Any song, by Jethro Tull is a work of Art to Me. So fill your boots.
Not many react to this song but I love it!
One of my favorite songs
Love this song. Thanks for reacting to it. I remember that we sang this song in grade school music class.
If she likes guitar she will love Tull's Martin Barre, I believe one of most underated guitarists ever. I would suggest "We Used to Know", "With You There To Help Me", "To Cry You A Song" or "Aqualung".
It's hard not to smile when l listen to this song.
You need to do some live versions of their songs to see Ian Anderson perform.
nice to hear one of Tull's less played albums (been a very very long time since i heard this). If you explore further you will quickly realize that they are renowned for flute solos (Ian Anderson who also sings and sometimes acoustic guitar). you are right about the accordion and i also think they use some Indian instruments such as the sitar(banjo) and maybe a tabla - the deep drum you can hear on the chorus. my personal favourite is 'Minstrel in the Gallery' which kind of reflects the bands 'persona' of being a medieval folk rock band. i also recommend that you check some of their live videos to see how amazing Ian Anderson is as he lays into the flute in his famous 'one leg' posture.
Ian Anderson, lead singer is known for his flute playing
One of my favorite JT tunes!
Thanks for the reaction! ✌
That instrument that you thought was an accordion sounded more like a concertina. It is closely related to the accordion, but is much smaller, about the size of a dinner plate, and has a hexagonal shape. It is very popular in zydeco and Cajun music of the American deep south. If you never experienced this truly unique music I implore you to do so.
If you like the blend of folk and rock I'd recommend Tull's "Songs From The Woods" and "Heavy Horses" albums as collections of great songs although you'll find and assortment of acoustic instruments throughout their catalog. Ian Anderson's solo record "The Secret Language Of Birds" has similar instrumentation as this song and I prefer it over many Tull albums.
I have been a Tully for over 50 years and still listen to them daily. The album Stand Up is a masterpiece especially the song We Used To Know. Try the album Passion Play for a bit more rocker sound. My very favorite was a cover they did on BBC radio of Stormy Monday Blues. Thank you.
He's making a cup of tea
The instruments that the band played on this excellent album:
Ian Anderson - vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, alto, soprano and sopranino saxophones
Martin Barre - electric guitar, Spanish guitar
John Evan - piano, organ, synthesizers, accordion
Jeffrey Hammond - lead vocals and spoken word, bass guitar, string bass
Barriemore Barlow - drums, percussion, glockenspiel, marimba
