Master showman, musical genius, multi-instrumentalist, poet, Celtic warrior, and champion of the English language, there are few who rival Ian Anderson in the pantheon of rock and roll. And he did it all without artificial stimulants or bending the knee to commercialism and the US dominated music business. Well done Ian. You will live forever in the culture of quality music.
And put together the most progressive kick ass band of all time. Complex arrangements with catchy hooks and melodies. No matter who you are, there's a Tull song you'll be humming all day.
I am 26 years old and I was raised on classic rock, that is all we listened to. I show people my age this song and they think it's weird and laugh, but I truly value and adore 60's-80's rock. Jethro Tull wasn't on my list of top bands as I didn't listen to them much, but about a month or so ago, I came across this song again and I haven't been able to turn it off. This one, as well as part two. There is just something so calming and satisfying about listening to this, his voice, the flute, the change of pace throughout the song. I have been so obsessed with this song, I play it in the car, at the gym, when I'm at work, you name it. Again, people look at me like I'm crazy when I play this song, but I DON'T CARE. This is true, authentic, music as well as talent from all these individuals. Jethro Tull is one of a kind.
For a young person I am very impressed! Your musical vision and ear for fine music is astounding, you are light years ahead of your generation! Rock on my friend! 🥰
@@Mark-eu4di music these days just makes me so sad, there isn’t any real music anymore. Just auto tuned BS. I am so thankful to be introduced to classic rock as a kid, it’s not even comparable to what’s on the radio now
Can we just appreciate he is one of the greatest front men of rock n roll ever. Bringing the flute into play amazing and the stamina. And this guy was clean as a whistle. Never did drugs. Haha
The fact that they could play this complex music and still visually put on a show is always astonishing to me! Obviously Ian is just incredible but John Evan, Martin Barre, Barriemore Barlow and Tony Williams ( who was a last minute replacement as John Glascock became ill) are incredible as well. So grateful I got to see them many times from 1971 (with Clive Bunker) through 1976 until Jeffrey Hammond left. Greatest live act during that period. No one could touch them live. Pure joy!
This reminds me of the Jethro Tull concert I attended in honor of Baldwin VI of Flanders in 1070 just before aid was requested from Philip I, king of the Franks.
I recall myself and a couple of my friends, way back in 1972, couldn't await the release of Thick as a Brick, being ardent Jethro Tull fans. What a surprise it turned out to be.
I saw Tull in Milwaukee in 1972, soon after Thick As a Brick came out. Howlin' Wolf was the warm-up act. Tull was very different, and to release an album as one long song was definitely new. I clearly remember Anderson playing the flute with his leg lifted and his foot against his knee, in his signature stance, center stage. It wasn't until a couple of years later that someone told me to really listen to those opening lyrics. He was talking about us! Many years later I heard Anderson interviewed on a rock FM station in Minneapolis. The interviewer, a DJ there, kept trying to talk about the rock star life, the parties, etc. Anderson just kept steering away from that and said that in England he was paid only like a successful doctor, for example. That most of their income was taken out in taxes. But he loved the remote farm he lived on and he clearly wasn't throwing any TVs out of hotel room windows. A very anomalous band from the heart of the rock era. "Sitting on a park bench..."
Congratulations my friend: due to copyright strikes, this is the only version of TAAB live at MSG currently existing on UA-cam! It probably has to do with the way you edited your video with that cool frame. My unedited upload was the most popular before the strike, with 2 million views... Anyway, you are the last of us :-)
Hey Big Daddy, I watched your video many, many times. After working a shitty job it was great to watch it with a drink in my hand. But I downloaded the video so I still have your work. THANK YOU.
I don't remember how many people I've shown that video of yours to as their first impression of Jethro and had them started to listen to them! I personally may have watched it over a hundred times and it's really sad to see it gone. Thank you for your services to this community comrade and may that video rest in peace!
@@kasimsultonfan I stand corrected and ive corrected sorry ,I lived on the Isle Of Islay for Ten years and should know better , Anyway what an Awesome fellow.
Saw them in Prov. and came out stoned and drained, like iworked out for 3 hrs..IT wasn't all the pot n mesc either..Always something going on at JT concerts..
Another one of those self proclaimed people who have never touched alcohol or any illicit drugs, well the drugs i buy that, anyway hats of to Ian, one hell of a musician, songwriter, thanks for posting this, i wonder what happened to the one where it is full screen
If anyone asks me on my deathbed, "have you any regrets from your life ?" I shall say, "yes. One - not employing a Removals firm to remove me to Bulgaria, and Two - not having any Jethro Tull in my record collection !!
Video +1, Audio -1. Crazy sibilance and distortion, not that the original didn't have issues - it seems to get better towards the end. Kudos nonetheless. Many, many thanks. I grew up listening to Tull on the radio. Puts me right back in my buddy's XR7 on a summer night, cranking the Pioneer SuperTuner with the Jensen Tri-Axials.
When a wind instrument is played they put the microphone where the sound comes out- the opposite end from where you blow in. Like a clarinet or sax. With a flute it doesn't work like that. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I figure out why.
Barry's drums so great yet the camera man thought "No one will care if they miss out at watching this drummer play so great- Barry one thousand times better then the dude from Led Zep
Bonham was quoted saying Barlow was the best drummer in England. I dunno about 1000 times though. Nobody could groove like Bonham, never before or after

Are you serious??? They're gonna have to chisel the coke stalagmites out of his sniffer. For fuck sake no stimulants

@@fryeesaucee rock on megan!
These songs weren´t just "songs".....it was more like a whole opera ceremony, so many different melodies, rhythms put in one....unforgettable !
Can't think of a more talented front man than IA. We're lucky he's with us.
One of the best if all time.
Multi-talented - voice, guitar and flute.
And a genuinely great writer, too.
Only Freddie Mercury perhaps. But I absolutely worship this Ian.
Can we just appreciate he is one of the greatest front men of rock n roll ever. Bringing the flute into play amazing and the stamina. And this guy was clean as a whistle. Never did drugs. Haha
Music is his drug !!
I realized that is not sufficient to hear him , you have to see him !!
Yes!!
This has to be one the most electrifying openings of a concert.

I've watched and re watched this so many times. It's still to my mind, the absolute best musical performance on UA-cam
Genio Ian Anderson ,genios Jethro Tull,genial Thick As A Brick..genial volver a los 17 años cuando los descubrí ..
Perfect. When music was based on talent and amplifiers. They don't make 'em like this anymore
Exactly! This is REAL music. It’s so sad that “music” these days isn’t even music. I wish I was around in the 70’s
Another masterpiece from Jethro Tull.
Cegła to kamień milowy w twórczości Jethro Tull ...❤❤❤
This reminds me of the Jethro Tull concert I attended in honor of Baldwin VI of Flanders in 1070 just before aid was requested from Philip I, king of the Franks.
C'est la meilleure musique qui me rappelle mon enfance jeunesse le bon temps
I am 19 and I do love this sound
I first heard this at 13 and now im 33, love this live version! Love JT love Barrimore barlow
Ian Anderson, a great performer. Whimsical, talented and a kick-ass flautist.
Just 15 when i first listened to this 50 years on still listening that ssays it all
Unbelievable energy and stage presence, ddddaaamammmmnnnn!
Historical concert. I had the double LP in my hands at that time.
I recall myself and a couple of my friends, way back in 1972, couldn't await the release of Thick as a Brick, being ardent Jethro Tull fans. What a surprise it turned out to be.
I remember watching the Telecast in 78. I was 16 and I’d not heard of JT prior to this, but god was I converted. I’m still a huge fan to this day.
masterpiece by a master english bard of the medieval ages
The best frontman alltime in the greatest live of history of rock.

Best flute player in progressive and classic Rock and Roll.
Congratulations my friend: due to copyright strikes, this is the only version of TAAB live at MSG currently existing on UA-cam!
It probably has to do with the way you edited your video with that cool frame.

I noticed this the other day and was so bummed!!! Really glad that at least one version still exists, love this performance😁
30 of those 2million was mine
I watched your upload multiple times, shame the copyright holder took it down.

Jethro Tull is one of finest prog rock ever exist
Je l'adore tu écoute sa musique et cela te rentre dans là peau
Blew my mind many a times to Ian and Jethro Tull in the early seventies! Those were the days, late sixties onwards.. didnt sleep at all those years!
My respect to Martín Barrett. An outstanding musician.
Pure poetry from one of the best Sottish Bards of all time shakespear with a flute .
Erm , Scottish , actually. The outfit here might help as a clue. 😊😉
@@kasimsultonfan I stand corrected and ive corrected sorry ,I lived on the Isle Of Islay for Ten years and should know better , Anyway what an Awesome fellow.
@@garyfeltham302 You're a gentleman and a scholar , sir. 😊👍
I was at this show. 12th row stage left.
ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES FROM JEHTRO....UNFORGETABLE
Simply superb. Amazing music, showmanship along with awesome 👏 dramatics
Todo un músico el vocalista de Jethro Tull, algún otro joven que le guste está canción?
A piss take of Progressive Rock is one of the best prog rock songs ever. Classic British humour.
No
It was an ironic take on concept albums, not on Progressive Rock. And gutter language never helps.
@@NuntiusLegis gutter language? Like sperm in the sink?
@@SmashAtoms "Sperm" is not gutter language but the legitimate term for the matter.
Anderson stated that the best of prog rock was a mixture of stand up and serious musicianship, and this was evident in Thick as a brick
Genius 😊❤
Was there sitting in he behind stage seats. Back when you got high whether you wanted to or not
gRACIAS por publicar esta joya prhibida x la industria
i saw this live and it was great alot of smoke in the air

Excellent sound quality!
Genius!

That part where Ian start playing flute and the crowd goes louder is my favourite moment in this video xD
Saw them in Prov. and came out stoned and drained, like iworked out for 3 hrs..IT wasn't all the pot n mesc either..Always something going on at JT concerts..
Just brilliant. Brings back happy memories. What a great performance. Thanks
What a Masterpiece!!!!
Grazie per darci la possibilitá di continuare ad ammirare questo spettacolare filmato.
Goosebumps all over

You can tell the keyboardist was having the time of his life while playing this song
Thanks,nice performance very good presentation L0VE it, By the way I own 70 percent of the JT albuns of this GENIUS.
You can easily increase that to 110 percent if you look out for the rest of the catalog and some nice bootlegs. ;-)
Favorite group of all time.
Thank you for reuploading this! My favorite live performance of all time.
TIMELESS!!!
part of your world
If anyone asks me on my deathbed, "have you any regrets from your life ?" I shall say, "yes. One - not employing a Removals firm to remove me to Bulgaria, and Two - not having any Jethro Tull in my record collection !!

Boy! This is so intense when he flings his flute in the air and then catches it!!!!
Damn, that was Zeppelesque, Ian's Whole Lotta Brick, may it go into the rock HoF where it belongs along with him.
Ice cream vendor john Evans is comical ..lol.
Im going to sit this one out

Hey there. Very creative way to put together video. How does one direct message you?
Primo tormentoni-facebook
When a wind instrument is played they put the microphone where the sound comes out- the opposite end from where you blow in. Like a clarinet or sax. With a flute it doesn't work like that. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I figure out why.

Barry's drums so great yet the camera man thought "No one will care if they miss out at watching this drummer play so great- Barry one thousand times better then the dude from Led Zep
John Bonham (Led Zep's drummer) & Niel Peart (Rush's drummer) were both big fans of Barriemore Barlow - RIP to them both
Bonham was quoted saying Barlow was the best drummer in England. I dunno about 1000 times though. Nobody could groove like Bonham, never before or after
is that lp jr double cut or early prs?
What?
Hamer guitars.
turntable????

why don't you remove that fucking turning record on the left? What is it for?
Not worthy of the Hall of Fame Jan Wenner?
Hey! WTF is this version? What happened to the original one??? You know, the one playing on the right side??? Fucking bullshit!
Should've used the whole frame to view the band instead of that stupid turntable. It defeats the whole purpose.
In my opinion. Jethro Tull is way better than Led Zeppelin.
Hahahaha
