I see a lot of people are saying the same thing here and I'm adding to that group: This was fantastic. I was also lucky enough to grow up with Tull. Was 16 when Thick as a Brick came out and I was hooked after that and have been since. The current generation was robbed. We had artist who could actually play and were creative.
Saw them many times. Their concerts were always the best. The sheer madness has always been energizing. I listen to this song when I need to get things done.
My 23 year old son stop by my place just yesterday showing me his Jethro Tull albums he found at a local Peddlers Mall. I turned him on to Jethro Tull when he was just a child. Turned out to be a pretty cool kid
After a 55-year career as a rock and roll fan, I've seen most of the big names with some true geniuses along the way. The best show I EVER saw was Jethro Tull. The next best show I ever saw was the second/last time I saw Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson is a true and clever master of instruments, composition, lyrics and performance. He once conducted the Hong Kong Philharmonic in a performance of his Jethro Tull masterpieces (with his flute as a baton). Are you kidding me? Let me stop right there. Bravo!!!!!
Ian Anderson was in Stuttgart, Germany a few years ago. My retired colleague always talked about listening to him in his youth. I bought two tickets and we went together. It was awesome. I am 40.
Ian Anderson is still unbelievable on that flute. He is the ONLY one that has ever made the flute ROCK. How is this band NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??!
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull are rock legends! I was so blessed to be in grade school and junior high school when the British Invasion occurred! There were so many incredibly talented rock bands out of England, such as: Jethro Tull, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Traffic, Cream, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson and many others! Classically trained musicians with incredible musical talent! It was the golden age of rock, which will never be duplicated again. Jethro Tull, along with many of the British rock bands, will be a classical rock gold standard that will last the test of time! Music today doesn't hold a candle to these rock legends!
I am also 70 and saw them when I was 15 , Ian was wearing knee high moccasins and was hoping around on one leg . I will never forget it. They won't tour with the mighty Led Zeppelin!!!
I’ve been lucky to have seen Jethro Tull 4 times in the 70’s. Every time was magic for me. Ian Anderson is an incredible showman and musician. Locomotive breath is still one of my all time favorite songs. Glad Ian’s still performing.
There are great young artists today and many of them are on UA-cam. Check out Marcus King/ Marcus King Band he has been mentored by Warren Haynes and is an amazing songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Check out Sina Drums. She became well known on UA-cam for her classic rock drum covers. She also has three albums in which she has collaborated with other young artist still in their teens to create some great music. Check them out. These are real musicians actually playing multiple instruments, sing and write songs.
In the early 70's I leased my Hammond B3 Organ and two Leslie speakers to Jethro Tull. I did three tours with them. Getting to hear the best band in the world night after night was like I was dreaming.
Still bringin it 40 years later. Out frickin standing!! Anyone see their mom and dad in the crowd? Why these madmen are not in the rock and roll hall of fame is beyond me.
One of the most influential totally underrated Bands. No other band sounds like them, no other band combines medieval and classical influences and progressive rock like them. Thank you for you music and keep on rockin'!
Jethro Tull was one of my favorite bands in the sixties and seventies. Such a poets!! I loved them so much. I can't believe my generation is getting old. Great times to live. So damn cool.
Seeing Tull perform during their Aqualung and Thick as a Brick tours will always be in my memory as what rock concerts should be. Great music and wonderful entertainment!
Was soll man dazu sagen der Song selbst ist Rockgeschichte und vom allerfeinsten. Die Performance der alten Herrschaften bei der AVO Session erstklassig. Wie man da als Zuhörer an einem Tisch sitzen bleiben kann ist mir ein absolutes Rätsel. Besser geht nicht. Da bekommt man Gänsehaut.
It doesn’t get much better than this. At 71, my grandkids are surprised when they see me watching these videos and say ‘grandpa” funny, I don’t remember my grandparents chilling out to Mel Torme, which I also enjoy too.
Ian and of course the whole band Jethro Tull will ALWAYS be legendary! THIS IS MUSIC FROM REAL ARTISTS WITH KNOWLEDGE, VOICE & BRAIN! THIS IS MISSING IN THESE TIMES WITH UNTALENTED PPL WHO TRY TO GET FAMOUS IN SUPERSTAR SHOWS WITHOUT ANY INSTRUMENT PLAYING AND FALSE ELECTRONIC VOICE FAKES!
There are very talented bands and musicians today but sadly you will not hear them via radio or tv. Have been seeing great bands across genres for 30 years
DO YOU HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS? But seriously, I agree. Sweetcheeks: Jethro Tull is just the name of the band. There was a guy called Jethro Tull back in th 17th century(I think), who invented a seed drill. When the band recorded their first single, they were looking for a name and somebody who was a history buff suggested this.
I met Martin Barr in Cleveland some years ago and he gave me and a friend backstage passes. I happened to take my Fender acoustic with me and the whole band signed it... it's sitting right next to me and is one of the coolest things I own. Great bunch of guys... and a great show.
I went to see Jethro Tull in concert @the backyard just outside of Austin Texas about 20 years ago. They just finished one song, and immediately started the keyboard intro to Locomotive Breath. People actually started sitting down, but not my wife or myself. I guess we were the only ones who knew what was coming.
If this great classic rock band isn't voted into the rock & roll hall of fame, please close that great institution right now, they deserve a place there much more than half the bands there now
Of course, Tull and a lot of other bands of the 60s and 70s are great, but there is so much good music and there are so many fantastic musicians travelling around in clubs or smaller venues nowadays. Just go there and find out, don't stick to your radio or your spotify playlists.
Geboren 1954 in der DDR... DAS WAR meine Musik..habe 1977 selber Disco gemacht...unter ganz einfachen Bedingungen...es war die geilste Zeit meines Lebens 😂..Platten und noch über 100 Bänder...läuft alles noch..auch mein B100 Baujahr 1976..❤🎉
I have my tickets for this Friday here in Las Vegas and can't wait. When I saw them in 1972 in San Francisco it changed my life. First time I ever saw flash pots on stage. I went on to be the pyro guy for KISS, VAN HALEN, DIO, JOURNEY, PINK FLOYD, MICHAEL JACKSON (after the accident) etc. I met Ian Anderson in England and told him he was the inspiration for my career. he peeled off my backstage pass, signed it, said "your welcome" and walked away.
I was born in 70. So I really didn’t learn much of Tull till I started working and became friends with a guy older than me. He would play Tull. I never saw any stage performances or videos of them till tonight. I’m blown away at their skill level in whole as a band but also their individual skill level and talent each on their own instrument. Tull is definitely at the top of the best. They and the band Rush would be my picks if I had to choose 2 bands that really have pushed being the best to the limits. It don’t get any better than what we have right here. As a trombone player and drummer I’m overly impressed with Tull.
Saw Tull back in 82 during the Broadsword and the Beast Tour. They played Locomotive Breath last as usual. Let me tell you the place EXPLODED!!! Man what a concert, what a time to be alive!
Jethro Tull has always been special to me. Aqualung was one of my first 2 or 3 rock albums and my first concert was 1972 Thick as Brick tour on my 15th birthday. Hard to believe I've been a fan for almost 50 years.
My mind was blown when I first heard the Stand Up album in 1969 ( I was 16). Then again with Benefit in 1970 and Aqualung in '71. Then Thick as a Brick in '72. I finally got to see them in concert in 1973 for Passion Play. Ian Anderson was an energy that swallowed you up head 1st. Mystifying, breathtaking and even a little terrifying at times. It's been 51 years and when I go back in memory my mind still is blown away. Powerful stuff.
It look like that during the 60s 70s came out extraordinary musician like Rolling, Jetro, Pink Floyd , ELP, Deep Purple etc etc, but nowadays everything is lost , the new generation are only good with the internet and mobile phones.
Born in 1952. On board the USS America, I first heard this song blasting from Avionics Lab III, someone got the album from his girlfriend and he had this album just rocking the deck. I was 21. Vietnam. Off Yankee station. This album and Several others, BTO, Pink Floyd, America, Led Zeppelin kept us sane and looking forward to going home. The music of my early life. Jethro Tull will always be a touch-stone to better days and one of my favorites forever.
I saw them in 75 in Greensboro NC and he may be the singularly the most talented person I have encountered in Rock and Roll.. He played about instruments with authority and what stamina and a sense of showmanship.... Saw him about 20 years later and he could still sing like a young man.. got all the high notes... He may have slowed a bit here but you can still see the full on talent of this man...
There will never be another group like this, ever! Ian, one of the best flute players that I know of, with a most incredible set of vocal chops! I'm 73, and these still lift me up! Far out, man!
Yo soy del 70 pero es asombroso ver cómo la gente se va animando cada vez más y sobre todo al final con esa forma característica de sus gestos y tocar la flauta como nadie.Bravo!!
First concert at age 17 was the 1973 passion play tour at LA forum. Feel sorry for the 80's folks who never heard of JT or real music played by real musicians!
He was at the very end of his voice here. I went to see him shortly after this was recorded and it was gone forever by then. He found a guy who now does the singing in his band (Jethro Tull is no more) and this guy sounds EXACTLY like Anderson in his prime. It's unbelievable how similar they sound.
There was an era of enlightenment from mid 40s to late 70s. The greatest music and musicians came out of that era. We may never see another one like it.
In '73, I had the very good fortune at 16 to see Jethro Tull at the Denver Coliseum. I double-dated with my best friend, accompanied by a supercute Latina named Teri. It was their Passion Play tour. Phenomenal show. The opener was Steeleye Span.
Oh my god - I am reminded now in 2020 how GREAT Tull was! This is a great performance. Ian Anderson gets most of the credit for the Tull sound because of his flute (who plays rock flute music???) but this entire band is awesome! Great guitar, great keyboards and I love the sound of the double bass drum when he gets it going. Love it!!!!!!! What a great driving song!
This song was the “first” I ever downloaded from radio to 8track ! Yes that’s right, younger folks look it up 😁 He was considered outside the mainstream back then, but just listen to his vocals, lyrics and that flute range ?!?! And has continued since the 70s !!! Enjoy all, there will never be another, I can promise you that. He is one of a kind to me, to me and others I’m sure. Rock on Ian as long as you can !!! 🎶 AND REMEMBER THERE’S NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN, OH NO 🎶🎶 !!
Saw Tull at Memphis Colosseum March 15, 1977 on a visit from the UK...they did a 3-hour set and freakin smashed it. When I got a cat later we named him Jethro.
When I got my first record player, I bought three records. Aqualung, Black Sabbath Paranoid, and Alice Cooper Killer. My taste really hasn’t change since then…
It’s hard to believe that 55 years ago Jethro was being cranked out on my 8 track player. So glad to have gone through my teenager years during this timeframe. Man….Life is short and quick.
Isn't that something - we all turned into what our mothers and fathers were like when we were young and they heard what we were listening to saying "Why don't you listen to great music like me instead of that crappy rock n roll bullshit , and now we are the same- hard to listen and just enjoy music without making sure we disrespect the music of today- Oh well-
@@meyou-dv8ns idk dude I am a teen and today's music isn't about music anymore (the mainstream music of course), it's big companies running around writing songs for pop stars to sing. Not thought out as a good song but how it will make the most money. I prefer this.
I will be seventy Aug 18th.The 1st time I heard Jethro I was seventeen he melted the stage with this tune! He had the baddest and best band then! No one could blow the flute like Jethro!! Except my friend Buddy Ebunes. Of Crosstowne Traffic band.I had to put that in Here! I love you Buddy we had some times!!
Heute ist die Musik ein Einheitsbrei. Jethro Tull gab es nur einmal. Genauso wie die Stones,Beatles,Creme usw.Unverkennbar... Ich hab Jethro Tull ein paar live erleben dürfen. Ian Anderson immer freundlich und gut gelaunt.❤
I saw Tull here in Evansville in the 70's when Acid was very popular. They started the show with this song, but the stage was blacked-out except for one spot on the mike, and next to it a bar stool in the middle of the stage. Started much softer, muted, except as the intro ended, and they went into the first note, all the lights flashed, volume to full blast, Ian was dressed in flowing cape, jumps about 3 feet in the air, kicks the bar stool across the stage and goes into their set. I'm in the front row and about loose my mind. It was a great night!! Oh, and by the way I saw Hendrix and Zepplin here also in the frame of mind. But that's another story
When i was 15 years old, i heard Jethro Tull for the first time. Today i am about 70 years old, but listening to JT i will be 15 years again.
71, same here 👍
Rock on my man, have a drink too. Maybe also a joint because why not. Let's go.
same ........ your not from scotland are you
I have exactly the same feelings about this.....68 years, Dutch...
May 16 1973 Hershey Park Arena I saw JT for the first time.Ian Anderson rocked TF out.
Holy shit. My generation is so lucky to have grown up with bands like Jethro Tull.
Wasn't we the lucky ones I just love the sounds of those days
I love new stuff too but classic rock embedded deep
OH YES !
Holy Effen AMEN!!!
i just talked to people under 30 -- they don't know the power of MUSIC!
@@CorreyHope The music back then was so powerful, there was no way to slow down!!!

Born in 1960. I was blessed with the best bands when growing up. Music like this is timeless ❤
True timeless
Very true..
Born in 59, I am with You! :-)
Same
Me too born in 1960..still listening to Jethro Tull. My fav is Beastie😊
After 50 years, he hasn’t lost anything.
Diese Musik werde ich im ganzen Leben nie mehr aus meinem Kopf bekommen, weil sie so einzigartig ist, war und sein wird.
I just went back and relived the 70's.. And what a journey it was...Thanks J.T.
We are so selfish making these old men reach even greater heights for our enjoyment, wish I had seen them live love this band.
Saw them once in 2010. Great show. We mere mortals work 9-5 5 days a week. Musicians are 24/7 365. It's in their dna.
Saw them many times. Their concerts were always the best. The sheer madness has always been energizing. I listen to this song when I need to get things done.
Saw them "live" twice. It was way more than great music, it was a whole theatrical experience, simply wonderful. . .
My 23 year old son stop by my place just yesterday showing me his Jethro Tull albums he found at a local Peddlers Mall. I turned him on to Jethro Tull when he was just a child. Turned out to be a pretty cool kid
Not many Flute Masters that I know of , Jethro Tull is definitely a Flute Master .. fantastic video
the lungs on that guy! * playing flute his whole life! * playing, prancing, dancing, singing! * thanx lads!! * timelessness 🎶🎶
Ian Anderson is music's Peter Pan -- he will always fly and and he will never grow old. Thank you Jethro Tull. xo
Grow? He's aged, and he's aged like the finest wine.
That moment when you realize your grandfather rocks harder than you ever will.
Because "Lamb of God" doesn't lay it done?
Omg yes
Yep, so I did!
@@worldsfinest1218 Those guys have grandchildren now, too!!!

Deep Purple as well!
And Barry Hay in Golden Earring
Ken Scar i think jimmy hastings from caravan is a better flute player but ian own this song.
Ken Scar Abba is in there. But just not Jethro Tull, For this reason, i dismiss the hall of fame as a mockery.

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull are rock legends! I was so blessed to be in grade school and junior high school when the British Invasion occurred! There were so many incredibly talented rock bands out of England, such as: Jethro Tull, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Traffic, Cream, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson and many others!

no way to slow down....:)
And who can forget Minstrel in the Gallery and Aqualung.
I'm 65 and this is my kind of music. Nothing compares to it. Music today is nothing but over made up talentless nobody's.
It's mathematically proven music is getting dumber by the day !!
Yes great days
I am with you generation.Greetings from Serbia.
@@misasavic5073 Greetings back to you Misa, and from the USA.
There are great young artists today and many of them are on UA-cam. Check out Marcus King/ Marcus King Band he has been mentored by Warren Haynes and is an amazing songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Check out Sina Drums. She became well known on UA-cam for her classic rock drum covers.

I don't give a damn, they are in our heart & soul 😂😂
My first concert was Jethro Tull at Melody Fair in NY... I was 5yo. I had a GREAT mom❣️
I was born in 1946 - still love this music! Reinhard
I share the first name, and also, even though born in 1955, love this song, this group and the times we listened to this stuff. Reinhard
One of the most influential totally underrated Bands. No other band sounds like them, no other band combines medieval and classical influences and progressive rock like them. Thank you for you music and keep on rockin'!
Jethro Tull was one of my favorite bands in the sixties and seventies. Such a poets!! I loved them so much. I can't believe my generation is getting old. Great times to live. So damn cool.
Aqualung...still amazing, every song
People are right, listen to this song sitting down is absolutely impossible.
Ian and my dad (also named Ian Anderson) are from the same village. We share the same tartan and clan. Very honored given his musical talent.
Wow I'm 70 years old and this song just brought me back to when I was 20
What a master of the flute. An awesome song that I have loved from the first time I listen to this classic. 🎶
These old geezers are really inspiring for a younger bloke like myself. I can only wish to be this cool when I grow up!
Younger blokes like yourself give old geezers like me hope for the future. 🙂
I mean, this is inconvertibly the best version of the song, and it comes so late, like they've actually become better over time. Inspiring.
Mr Anderson is a genius, no doubts at all !!!!!!!!!! The band is phenomenal ❤
I too was born in 1956 68 years old now I've seen a whole lot of music and I agree with you 60s and 70s that's where the music was
The only man to conquor rock and roll with a freakin flute.......
Ian is pure mucian. no no can beat him.
Ian is Merlin`s immortal son, his flute is his druid staff and he`s the wizard who seduces our souls, he has my soul since the early 1970s
WOW! So well said. My soul too. 💜

Richard Venneman I am 69, just showed my grandson 8,yo, a few videos of this flute playing god. My my grandson loves this band.
The single most under-rated band in the history of Music..PERIOD
HELL THEY WERE IN MY TOP 10 THEN AND STILL TODAY
Absolutely. Such diversity, willingness to explore different styles........this group had staying power over 4 decades and it was ALL so good.
no, it was part of my youth
Saw these guy's in Montreal 1975. I agree.
Absolutely! It's unbelievable the way they got their name.
BTW - got to see them on the Songs of the Wood tour. Amazing!

Where the fuck did music go wrong in the younger generation? This is music at it`s finest. Awesome musicians :). Thank you up-loader :D
$$$ Wall Street and Hollywood. Follow the money.
Of course, Tull and a lot of other bands of the 60s and 70s are great, but there is so much good music and there are so many fantastic musicians travelling around in clubs or smaller venues nowadays. Just go there and find out, don't stick to your radio or your spotify playlists.
I am sorry to report having been too stoned at Tull concerts to appreciate his genius. Thank God for You Tube, so I can revisit.
Totally understand. Have been told I had a wonderful time at the Pink Floyd Animals concert.
Best comment ever!
Something wrong if you weren't
Being stoned made me realize the unique genius of the his group. You really missed something.

I've seen a lot of concerts but in Anderson is one of the best I've ever been to

Too Old to Rock N Roll Too young to die
Long live Jethro Tull

If you think you're to old to rock'n'roll you probably are.
I don't expect Lemmy will mind me restating that here.
I saw them in 75 in Greensboro NC and he may be the singularly the most talented person I have encountered in Rock and Roll.. He played about instruments with authority and what stamina and a sense of showmanship.... Saw him about 20 years later and he could still sing like a young man.. got all the high notes... He may have slowed a bit here but you can still see the full on talent of this man...
There will never be another group like this, ever! Ian, one of the best flute players that I know of, with a most incredible set of vocal chops! I'm 73, and these still lift me up! Far out, man!
73 here too...
73 and still lovin the 🎶
Yo soy del 70 pero es asombroso ver cómo la gente se va animando cada vez más y sobre todo al final con esa forma característica de sus gestos y tocar la flauta como nadie.Bravo!!
I'm 75 still get goosebumps hearing this
First concert at age 17 was the 1973 passion play tour at LA forum. Feel sorry for the 80's folks who never heard of JT or real music played by real musicians!
I was lucky to see them in the 70's, 80's and late 90's. And like a fine wine the got better! Love Tull
Dee Flinchum I am 69, and seen them 3 times. They are in their own class. UFB.
@@jimdavidson413
Absolutely! If given the chance I'll see them again
He was at the very end of his voice here. I went to see him shortly after this was recorded and it was gone forever by then. He found a guy who now does the singing in his band (Jethro Tull is no more) and this guy sounds EXACTLY like Anderson in his prime. It's unbelievable how similar they sound.
Are you young ones take note this is what real musicians are like
Yes sir......
Growing up with Jethro tull and seeing
Them in concert was the best concert at
16 I ever saw!
You don't hear music like this now a days. Only if you put it on if you are lucky to come across the material. Real talent.
There was an era of enlightenment from mid 40s to late 70s. The greatest music and musicians came out of that era. We may never see another one like it.
In '73, I had the very good fortune at 16 to see Jethro Tull at the Denver Coliseum. I double-dated with my best friend, accompanied by a supercute Latina named Teri. It was their Passion Play tour. Phenomenal show. The opener was Steeleye Span.
Oh my god - I am reminded now in 2020 how GREAT Tull was! This is a great performance. Ian Anderson gets most of the credit for the Tull sound because of his flute (who plays rock flute music???) but this entire band is awesome! Great guitar, great keyboards and I love the sound of the double bass drum when he gets it going. Love it!!!!!!! What a great driving song!
He's the only one who play flute like that!!! 👌
Still can run circles around todays musicians! Ian and Tull are a class act.
Real instruments played by real musicians. Fabulous stuff.
This song was the “first” I ever downloaded from radio to 8track ! Yes that’s right, younger folks look it up 😁 He was considered outside the mainstream back then, but just listen to his vocals, lyrics and that flute range ?!?! And has continued since the 70s !!!
Enjoy all, there will never be another, I can promise you that. He is one of a kind to me, to me and others I’m sure. Rock on Ian as long as you can !!! 🎶 AND REMEMBER THERE’S NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN, OH NO 🎶🎶 !!
Best written songs in music!!!
Still always beautifull
Many thanks for those vibrations in touch
I Thank almighty I grew up in this time period even if I am old!!!
Saw Tull at Memphis Colosseum March 15, 1977 on a visit from the UK...they did a 3-hour set and freakin smashed it. When I got a cat later we named him Jethro.
When I got my first record player, I bought three records. Aqualung, Black Sabbath Paranoid, and Alice Cooper Killer. My taste really hasn’t change since then…
Love from The Netherlands (013) !!
It’s hard to believe that 55 years ago Jethro was being cranked out on my 8 track player. So glad to have gone through my teenager years during this timeframe. Man….Life is short and quick.
This level of musicianship can only be DREAMED OF by today's pop "stars".
@Rickus Aurelius you got THAT right, brother! They shouldn't even be allowed to BREATHE near JTs gear.
Isn't that something - we all turned into what our mothers and fathers were like when we were young and they heard what we were listening to saying "Why don't you listen to great music like me instead of that crappy rock n roll bullshit , and now we are the same- hard to listen and just enjoy music without making sure we disrespect the music of today- Oh well-
@@meyou-dv8ns idk dude I am a teen and today's music isn't about music anymore (the mainstream music of course), it's big companies running around writing songs for pop stars to sing. Not thought out as a good song but how it will make the most money. I prefer this.
50 years ago. I heard this. I’m listening. Tonight. It’s different. I appreciate the music.
We are talkinf about 45years but you right /Jethro Tull best keep well
That's because when your at deaths door EVERYTHING is different, Duh!
I believe Ian was rated at one time as one of the best flutists in the world.
I may be an old swamp fart, but at least I got to see and hear all the cool bands, too. Jethro tull is one af my top favorite bands.
There's just one Jethro Tull, a band with a unic and totally personal kind of music, you can identify it wherever you listen a song of their.
Which one of Jethro Tull's band became the (unic) and had his balls and dick cut off?
That would make him a unique eunuch
sin duda
@@Z4Zander Touche
still great, have seen them a few weeks ago in Austria
Wir in Köln 👍🏻
It’s sad that he can’t sing as good as he could back then. But the flute is so freaking awesome.
he sing better then you Mr/Miss Golden0987I am sure.
by the way he is British
@@rs2619 Ian sounds phenomenal
I will be seventy Aug 18th.The 1st time I heard Jethro I was seventeen he melted the stage with this tune! He had the baddest and best band then! No one could blow the flute like Jethro!! Except my friend Buddy Ebunes. Of Crosstowne Traffic band.I had to put that in Here! I love you Buddy we had some times!!
The album "Aqualung" is by far, one of the best ever. "Thick as a Brick" is great too.
Heute ist die Musik ein Einheitsbrei.
Jethro Tull gab es nur einmal. Genauso wie die Stones,Beatles,Creme usw.Unverkennbar...
Ich hab Jethro Tull ein paar live erleben dürfen. Ian Anderson immer freundlich und gut gelaunt.❤
Как всегда великолепно. Как я счастлив, что живу в одно время с такими грандами реальной музыкальной культуры.
È bellissimo che tutti questi gruppi rock suonino e si esibiscano in giro per il mondo dopo 50 anni .
We knew it was real . I’m waiting to be impressed by most of the music since 2000. That’s a long ass time. No wonder the world is in free fall.
I saw Tull here in Evansville in the 70's when Acid was very popular. They started the show with this song, but the stage was blacked-out except for one spot on the mike, and next to it a bar stool in the middle of the stage. Started much softer, muted, except as the intro ended, and they went into the first note, all the lights flashed, volume to full blast, Ian was dressed in flowing cape, jumps about 3 feet in the air, kicks the bar stool across the stage and goes into their set. I'm in the front row and about loose my mind. It was a great night!! Oh, and by the way I saw Hendrix and Zepplin here also in the frame of mind. But that's another story
Born in 1956. I was blessed with the best bands when growing up. Music like this is timeless ❤
I was born in 1955. Jethro Tull is my all time favourite band.
I was also born in 1956 😊
Úžasné, miluji tuto kapelu ,poslouchám ji od svých dvaceti a je mi 74 let !!!
Ich bin auch 1955 geboren, aber uns trennte die Mauer
