From a time when rock bands could play their instruments without the aid of autotune or computers, and when they sounded better live than in the studio. Classic Tull.
Could not agree with you more! Saw Martin Barre in March, he was as good or better than when he was in Jethro Tull. He’s 76 years old and as lively as ever!
Barrie is one of the three greatest drummers I've ever seen ... maybe Top 2 - and I've seen a couple thousand (seriously, I'm a music writer)! No. 1: Carl Palmer
@@stevesmith9988 Clive Bunker was no slouch either. He was more Bonham era and I hate to say it, but after watching Tull's Isle of Wight dvd, I'd say better. But, just my opinion. 😉
@@jage71 Thanks for the reply! Clive was definitely no slouch. But I've seen literally hundreds or thousands of truly excellent musicians who were not slouches since my first show in1967 - including the excellent Clive Bunker. But none of them were up there with Carl Palmer or Barrie Barlow.
@@DonII1980 I just said he was underrated. I know he was great. Did super-human stuff. And playing Tull is not easy at all. I could play Rush, but Yes and Tull had me messed up.
Saw Tull at the British leg of this '75 tour at the Southampton Gaumont. Had fallen in love with Tull back in '71 when I was living in Nigeria.This was only my second gig ever, and I was totally blown away. Was in the second row right at the front. Swear Ian made eye contact with me couple of times, widening his eyes in mock surprise as I was likely the only black face in the audience.
WOW‼... Definitivamente, Jethro Tull es una de las bandas Rock más increíbles, novedosas, creativas y espectaculares de todos los tiempos. Esa Presentación que has evaluado es realmente fabulosa⚡🎶👏🏽🤩
Yes, WOW indeed! Tull live at this period was an incredible experience. Was lucky enough to catch them onstage about a year before this. And Ian… OMG! EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED and GORGEOUS man! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jeffrey Hammond just killing it. This was the end of the line for old Jeffrey. John Evan is the keyboardist, Martin Barre on guitar and Barrie Barlow on drums. Next song off this album that deserves your attention is Baker St. Muse. It's a long one but you won't be sorry.
I was at that concert. I have seen great bands, Genesis with Peter Gabriel, the Who with Keith Moon, the Stones... but for me that was the best concert. The reasons? #1 The location was nice, seating good acoustic, not like the hangars or stadiums rock concerts were usually held in. I was going to concert for the music not the event so comfortable seating is important. #2 The quality of the performance. They were playing like the albums... and then some. #3 The theatrical, everything, the costumes, the jokes, the jumping around, the scantily dress girls, it was a performance. I still love Jethro Tull music... now what I think of Ian Anderson and the way he treated his old band members is... another story.
I think it's awesome that she knew Martin Barre's name when he came in with that blistering guitar riff and run. Martin is my all-time favorite guitarist and Tull my all-time favorite band. I'm guessing your name is Barry, and you really have good taste. Those Tull concerts in the 70's were an experience that lasts a lifetime. Ian and the boys dressed up in that medieval garb and always put on such a theatrical performance. They actually performed their songs better live than in the studio. That 1975 line-up was of course Ian and Martin, Jeffery Hammond-Hammond on bass, John Evans on keyboards, and Barriemore Barlow on drums. That was the classic Tull line-up. You know your stuff. Rock On!!!!!
@@altonm9371 -- That sounds like a great concert, Alton. I saw Tull 3 times in the 70's and they just blew me away. Could possibly be my favorite Tull song, too. Rock On!!!
Laurie, the band members on the album are: Barriemore Barlow (drums and percutions), John Evan (organ and piano) and Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond (bass) and they probably accompanied him on the promotional tour. Thanks for your reaction! ✌🤓
Signature Ian Anderson/ Tull right there ❤ Ian wrote the songs on his acoustic guitar, including Aqualung… he originally played that riff to Martin on his acoustic guitar and told him to imagine that on his electric guitar, as that was what he would be playing… the rest is history, and Martin then went on to improvise his famous solo for the track on the album, with Jimmy page watching and waving to him in the recording studio.
i'm 64 and i bought this in 1975 and was my 4th or 5th Tull album...i'm thrilled that younger people are now interested in Jethro Tull. The rest of the album is also very good.
Baker Street Muse is one of my all time favorite Tull songs. To my knowledge, it was never played live. It’s a shame Jethro Tull skipped L.A. for this tour.
Hi ! I saw Jethro Tull in concert back in the 70s. It was ( A passion play ) But this live show is great ! I love that band ! thank you dear ! you re an Angel !😎
I was at that show. The best shown I've been to. What was incredible was that they played like on the albums... plus the incredible theatrics, half naked girls and all.
Being 60 years old I had the fortunate privilege of seeing the likes of such groups as Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, the Who,and Bruce Springsteen. I also seen Jethro Tull in 2001 when they played in Baltimore my home town and they rank up there with them. Ian Anderson is such a great showman. One of the best concerts I've seen.
Loved your reaction to this video brought tears to my eyes seeing a young person TRUTHFULLY getting off on the great mess of this performance! I wonder will we ever see great performers like this again in our time?
Well said young lady these guys were so very good minsteral was about the band lookingbat the audience looking st them its tongue in cheek sarcasm in grandiosity and brilliant musicianship listen to benefit socity and michael collins even warchild has some good songs like 2 fingers ladt hurrah teacher skating away the lust of great songs look into the sun on stand up or reasons for waiting or lifes a long song ians mind is so full of music
One of my all-time favorite bands. I remember telling my friends at school they should check out this great band called Jethro Tull, and they said, "Who?" and I said, "No, not The Who, Jethro Tull!" They'd just look at me like I wasn't speaking English anymore.
I came to watch the Tull performance but ended up being mesmerized watching you watch it for what I take it is the very first time of hearing the song. It brings tears to the eyes of this old guy who saw Tull live back about this time. Minstrel is my favorite Tull album. It is just so cool that someone of your generation is still affected in this way by the real musicianship (no tracks, no computers, no MIDI, no BS!) of these talented artists! Keep on rockin'!
This performance is from Warchild tour, before album Minstrel in the Gallery came out.The whole album is recorded during this tour in mobile studio.Been fan of Tull since 71. but this was the first time I saw them live, and it was unforgetable!This is my favor line up:Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Geffrey Hammond-Hammond, Barrimore Barlow, and John Evan.Hammond, Barlow and Evan was Ian's old friends from teenage days, and "Minstrel"was the last album of Jethro Tull "heroic" time wich started with Aqualung in 71.
Back in the day, the Record Company called for an album a year. None of that 6 years between releases. So bands were forced to write and record on the fly. Busy guys.
My all time favourite band who I first saw in 1970 when I climbed in a toilet window at Seaburn in Sunderland aged 16 as the gig was sold out and mobbed. IA has always fascinsted me with his wit, deep lyrics and flute of course. Have seen most of their shows in the 70s, 80s and 90s and always blown away.
luckily for me i come from england and grew up in the 70s so all the progressive rock has it was known then was all around. "jethro tull" was one of my favourite bands. i think that it was the best time to be around as regards progressive rock. (personally speaking)
I got goosebumps when you did. I saw them back in the day (Thick as a Brick and Passion Play tour; early 70's.) And I still consider them Prog Rock Gods.
You should listen to the next two songs on the studio album, cold wind to Valhalla, and black satin dancers. Layers of greatness. Listened to this over and over starting in the late seventies.
That is the most incredible Tull performance I've seen on UA-cam. The pageantry is fantastic. Ian as the scalliwag with codspiece, Martin in his arts smock, John Evan the ice cream man, Jeffery in his zebra suit and Barriemore as the bricklayer. The musicianship is striking and wonderful as well. Martin's burst guitar is transfixing and the way the drums come together with the flute and guitars is so hooky. One can only wonder what the lyrics are about as Ian always had a level of ambiguity in them. But I think you had it pretty right. Ian is singing largely about himself!
Ian Anderson (vocals, flute), Martin Barre (guitar), Jeffrey Hammond (bass), John Evans (keyboard), David Palmer (second keyboard), Barrie Barlow (drums).
I went to the LP Crest of Knave tour in Detroit Mi. And my wife said then Ian A. Will be jumping around on stage when hes 70 years old and she was right .
Ian Anderson is the finest Minstrel in the Gallery ever seen in contemporary rock music. He has no rival as a musician, composer, and performer. Anyone who saw the band in their prime in the 70s, 80s, and 90s will understand the truth of these comments.
This is a band that I missed seeing back in the seventies. In '75 was still in high school, working after school for $2 an hour. You had to listen to the radio all day long, pick up the Aquarian to find out when the shows were and tickets went on sale, then stand in line to get them. Unlike today a few clicks and you get them.
"Ah'm gettin' goosebumps ..." Me too, for 50 years. Every time.
I consider Jethro Tull one of the best Rock acts of all time!
From a time when rock bands could play their instruments without the aid of autotune or computers, and when they sounded better live than in the studio. Classic Tull.
Could not agree with you more! Saw Martin Barre in March, he was as good or better than when he was in Jethro Tull. He’s 76 years old and as lively as ever!
@@davidbrown5152 Martin Barre is a very underrated guitarist. He was every bit as good as Beck, Page and Clapton.
@@DickusCopernicus Better.
At 70, I do and will forever love JT!!! God broke the mold after he created Ian!!!! ❤🎉
So happy that a whole new generation is learning to love Tull and their quinticential talents.
That fact that you even know Martin Barre impressed me immensely!!! In 1975, this was truly the heaviest thing on the radio!
Barriemore Barlow.... one of rock's most underrated drummers.
Barrie is one of the three greatest drummers I've ever seen ... maybe Top 2 - and I've seen a couple thousand (seriously, I'm a music writer)!
No. 1: Carl Palmer

Not amongst his peers! John Bonham called Barrie "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced"!

This is the best Tull lineup! Jeffrey’s energy is amazing!
That riff has been stuck in my head for almost 50 years 😀
Mine too!
same here. 45 years.@@MLewisDesign
Me Three.........
The best live band I ever saw
Yes, WOW indeed! Tull live at this period was an incredible experience. Was lucky enough to catch them onstage about a year before this.
And Ian… OMG! EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED and GORGEOUS man! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is a rock and roll band . Musical majesty by all members. No one out shines the other
Ian Anderson sounds exactly the same live as he does on the album. That's talent people.
♥️♥️♥️
HONEY I'VE BEEN HOOKED FOR 50+ YEARS
EVERY CONCERT WAS LIKE A STAGE SHOW❤❤
SAW THEM 5 WONDERFUL TIMES
truly magical...what an atmosphere.
Tull’s. Greatest line up is right here , these 5 are Jethro Tull.
You just hear one of the best bands in the world.
Minstrel in The Gallery may just be Tull’s finest Album!
I love Tull, and still own this CD! Cold wind to Valhalla, One white duck...
I still own the LP!
@@luiznogueira1579 -- Me too. i never throw away any music whether it's albums, cassettes or cd's.
The first concert I ever went to was Jethro Tull. Great band.
Jethro Tull was my second concert. Simply amazing!
Mine too! 1973-74, I saw them many more times.✌️
@@yagotoo7999 Yes, I think I saw you! ;)
Same here.
I also. Aqualung tour, fourth row right in front of Ian. Blew my little fifteen year old mind.
He is simply the mistrel who sees his own face in every audience member he performs for! THEY are his reflection of joy and love! 👍
Jeffrey Hammond just killing it. This was the end of the line for old Jeffrey. John Evan is the keyboardist, Martin Barre on guitar and Barrie Barlow on drums. Next song off this album that deserves your attention is Baker St. Muse. It's a long one but you won't be sorry.
Subjective I suppose...Black Satin Dancer and Cold Wind are masterpieces.
Agree.. Baker Street Muse is an absolute masterpiece… up there with A Passion Play and Thick As A Brick ♥️♥️♥️
"Baker Street Muse, take one. Shit shit shit take two."
Love Tull! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tull has stood the test of time and will continue to. Thanks to people like this channel. ❤

I still love Jethro Tull music... now what I think of Ian Anderson and the way he treated his old band members is... another story.
Never saw that cut. Wow. The seventies saw the best streak of timeless music. The end of analog.
I think the entire studio album (and other tracks recorded at the time) are among Ian’s best vocal performances in his career.
His voice was clear as a bell the Minstrel In The Gallery album. The only album that might have better vocals would be A Passion Play.
I think it's awesome that she knew Martin Barre's name when he came in with that blistering guitar riff and run. Martin is my all-time favorite guitarist and Tull my all-time favorite band. I'm guessing your name is Barry, and you really have good taste. Those Tull concerts in the 70's were an experience that lasts a lifetime.

yep, I saw Tull in Christchurch New Zealand in 1974, the concert was incredible, this is probably my all time fav. Tull song,
@@altonm9371 -- That sounds like a great concert, Alton. I saw Tull 3 times in the 70's and they just blew me away. Could possibly be my favorite Tull song, too. Rock On!!!
Wow, I love that you got goosebumps upon hearing this ❤
Nice video, thanks! I would give a year of my life to be at that concert. REAL ARTISTS, REAL MUSIC.👏
Oh YA!!! I saw this concert, and it was BAD ASS.
Laurie, the band members on the album are: Barriemore Barlow (drums and percutions), John Evan (organ and piano) and Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond (bass) and they probably accompanied him on the promotional tour. Thanks for your reaction! ✌🤓
The bass player is John Hammond and the drummer is Barrymore Barlow.
the theatrics are amazing
It's so awesome you admire them.... keeping amazing music alive for new generations..... thank you. 🙂
I love way this band starts a song acoustic, then the electricity kicks in, and wow. Minstrel, My God, Windup, Aqualung, etc.
😃😃😃 very sweet and accurate description🥰😍🤩
They really have a way of building things up and then it just explodes. Some of Martin's electric guitar work rivals any of all-time.
Signature Ian Anderson/ Tull right there ❤
Ian wrote the songs on his acoustic guitar, including Aqualung… he originally played that riff to Martin on his acoustic guitar and told him to imagine that on his electric guitar, as that was what he would be playing… the rest is history, and Martin then went on to improvise his famous solo for the track on the album, with Jimmy page watching and waving to him in the recording studio.
HE IS ELECTRIC
I play in a Jethro Tull tribute band and we are called Minstrels In the Gallery!
i'm 64 and i bought this in 1975 and was my 4th or 5th Tull album...i'm thrilled that younger people are now interested in Jethro Tull. The rest of the album is also very good.
I so love to wines _oung persons see the greats
The key line for me is...
And he threw away his looking-glass
He saw his face in everyone
Probably their best song lyrically. Searing takes on everyone.
Jeffery Hammond Hammond on bass guitar....The"ZEBRA-MAN"........Ian wrote about 90% per cent of all the songs of Jethro Tull....
Jethrotull one of rocks greatness...!
I had seen Tull back in this era
3 or 4 times and had always considered them the best live performance that I'd seen .
Adoro a Jethro Tull....hasta el Too old to rock'n'roll ( incluido). Stand up y Minstrel in the gallery.. son mis favoritos.
Baker Street Muse is one of my all time favorite Tull songs. To my knowledge, it was never played live. It’s a shame Jethro Tull skipped L.A. for this tour.
That tour was one of the best I've ever seen. I saw them in Philly, New York, and Florida. Hey, I was 17 and they were my favorite band hands down.
Hi ! I saw Jethro Tull in concert back in the 70s. It was ( A passion play ) But this live show is great ! I love that band ! thank you dear ! you re an Angel !😎
Saw that Tour .
Utterly stunning consistency of top flight compositions .
Timeless indeed .
ive seen this before but never with such a clean sound and video awesome indeed
Ian Anderson un exelente multi instrumentista !!!! Y sus fabulosos músicos
Particularmente, jethro tull es la mejor banda de rock de todos los tiempos, Ian Anderson es un genio...
After 25 years, heard it again live! Thank you. Subscribed!! Tull was a different league. Hope to see them in Birmingham in April '24.
Its the title track of my favorite Jethro Tull album. If you havent listen to the epic Baker Street Muse, you have to. Its just amasing.
Bloody hell that was a tight band and Ian's voice was so special and unique, wish I'd been born just a few years earlier.
I was at that show. The best shown I've been to. What was incredible was that they played like on the albums... plus the incredible theatrics, half naked girls and all.

Yeah… best Tull line up….absolutely first class musicianship
Let's hang out and watch a ton of Tull concerts. I need a Tull woman in my life.
The only two of the guys I got to meet and chat with, Ian and Martin. Will always stick with me, both very sweet down to earth fellows.
Hey nonny no and a wassailing we will go. Captivating mixture of old English folkish charm and crunching riffs
It's Barrimore Barlow with the cow bells that make this song so awesome.
Well said young lady these guys were so very good minsteral was about the band lookingbat the audience looking st them its tongue in cheek sarcasm in grandiosity and brilliant musicianship listen to benefit socity and michael collins even warchild has some good songs like 2 fingers ladt hurrah teacher skating away the lust of great songs look into the sun on stand up or reasons for waiting or lifes a long song ians mind is so full of music

My favorite band, seen and heard them four times.
Pretty amazing when the sound is off the board in 1975.
Amazing, thank you for sharing this

John Bonham was quoted to saying that Barrymore Barlow was his favorite rock drummer and the best drummer of the genre.
You my friend do awesome reviews... that's because you really listen and know talent when you hear it. Great jod.
The best session Masso’s money can buy
I love your reaction and I love the way Ian wheels his flute like a sword😁
My all time favourite band who I first saw in 1970 when I climbed in a toilet window at Seaburn in Sunderland aged 16 as the gig was sold out and mobbed. IA has always fascinsted me with his wit, deep lyrics and flute of course. Have seen most of their shows in the 70s, 80s and 90s and always blown away.
Ive never seen a person play the flute with so much energy! Great Reactions 👍
luckily for me i come from england and grew up in the 70s so all the progressive rock has it was known then was all around. "jethro tull" was one of my favourite bands. i think that it was the best time to be around as regards progressive rock. (personally speaking)
My favourite Tull album
One of my top 3 Tull tunes.
Absolutely love early Tull .
This really isn't early Tull. They had already put 8 or 9 albums out by the time MITG came out. Great band.
I enjoyed that you enjoyed the performance. Music can connect the generations and you give me joy opening up to music of past generations.
I got goosebumps when you did. I saw them back in the day (Thick as a Brick and Passion Play tour; early 70's.) And I still consider them Prog Rock Gods.
That totally kicked ass
Minstrel in the Gallery is my favorite JT beside Thick As A Brick.
The live version of Minstrel on Bursting Out is my favorite!
This is a brilliant song from the lp brings back memories..
Jethro Tull - Witch's Promise. Keep on Rocking girl
Jethro tull to me is an "Original".. one thing bout Tull... it always goes down smooth..
You should listen to the next two songs on the studio album, cold wind to Valhalla, and black satin dancers. Layers of greatness. Listened to this over and over starting in the late seventies.
That is the most incredible Tull performance I've seen on UA-cam. The pageantry is fantastic. Ian as the scalliwag with codspiece, Martin in his arts smock, John Evan the ice cream man, Jeffery in his zebra suit and Barriemore as the bricklayer. The musicianship is striking and wonderful as well. Martin's burst guitar is transfixing and the way the drums come together with the flute and guitars is so hooky.
One can only wonder what the lyrics are about as Ian always had a level of ambiguity in them. But I think you had it pretty right. Ian is singing largely about himself!
He took off his looking glass and saw his face in everyone!! (Unfolding the Tao in front of everybody.)
Ian Anderson (vocals, flute), Martin Barre (guitar), Jeffrey Hammond (bass), John Evans (keyboard), David Palmer (second keyboard), Barrie Barlow (drums).
My favorite track - nice review.
Barriemore Barlow was a great drummer for Tull. Check out "Cold Wind to Valhalla" from the same album (Minstrel in the Gallery).
Great ...live
I went to the LP Crest of Knave tour in Detroit Mi. And my wife said then Ian A. Will be jumping around on stage when hes 70 years old and she was right .
Just saw the Martin barre band last night.great concert.
Ian Anderson is the finest Minstrel in the Gallery ever seen in contemporary rock music. He has no rival as a musician, composer, and performer. Anyone who saw the band in their prime in the 70s, 80s, and 90s will understand the truth of these comments.
This is a band that I missed seeing back in the seventies.
In '75 was still in high school, working after school for $2 an hour.
You had to listen to the radio all day long, pick up the Aquarian to find out when the shows were and tickets went on sale, then stand in line to get them.
Unlike today a few clicks and you get them.
My favorite Tull tune. Ian is awesome.
