So great to see the younger generation discovering Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson is a genius on many levels. He surrounds himself with exceptionally talented musicians. Listening to Jethro Tull has been known to increase brain cells. It is well worth exploring Jethro Tull albums from beginning to end as the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
It was my very first Tull album, I listened to it in a record store with headphones and the first song (Aqualung) immediately blew me away. It was mainly the electric-acoustic alternation that I hadn't heard before.
Everything these guys did was unique back then. That lineup with hammond on bass and then Barry Barlow on drums, starting with brick, had a special chemistry on stage. You never knew what was going to happen. A rabbit would just walk across the stage in the middle of a song. Phones would ring and they'd stop playing as Ian answered the phone. He then would say, is there a Mike nelson in the audience? Theres a fish on the line. Minutes later while the band was plAying, a scrubber diver would walk on to the stage and pick up the phone. There's a photo where they were standing online with their fans waiting to get in to their own show️. They had coats and hats on so no one around them knew the band was standi g right there. They were notorious for doing stuff like that in those days. Passion play had a kids fairy tale stuck right in the middle of the 45 minute piece-- The hare who lost his spectacles...in concert they showed a little movie they created of the story. Whimsical, even a bit bizzare, but that was Tull. You can find the video they used in concert on youtube. If you're enjoying Tull, definitely check it out. I was in the 12th row for that show and remember saying ...WTF? Well this is amusing.
Here's another absolute banger from Ian and the boys, try the song "To Cry You a Song". Off of the Benefit album, which is my favorite. The rhythm section just knocks it out of the park with the drum fills being absolutely epic. For me, My God, Hymn #43 and To Cry You A Song are three of my absolute favorite rock songs from this or any other rock band. Cheers!
Thanks for giving the boys some love. I have a kind of a far out suggestion. Why not sample something from the latest album from this year The album is RokFlote. I suggest “The Navigators”, the radio edit. It has a pretty cool video. By the way, the line, he can hardly roll his stone refers to the resurrection of Jesus he had to roll the stone away to to rise again. To say it another way Jesus has been grossly miss handled over these years.
One of the great prog rock albums of all time. Are you ready for a full album reaction? Jethro Tulls Thick as a Brick is a classic concept album that didn't want to be lol.
Too Old to Rock & Roll, Too Old to Die is a great album. A concept album with a corresponding comic on the inside of the vinyl album. So nostalgic for an age i never lived. Check it out.
Growing up, even though I didn't hear much Led Zeppelin or other heavy weights of 70s rock, I had heard of them. I don't know how the name 'Jethro Tull' wasn't ever tossed around. These guys deserve elite status as well
52.5 year old Thrash/Death Metal dude. Saw Tull in '88 - Ian's performance - costume changed - it was like a play. I know, my parents took me & my sis 2x-3x a year to Broadway. Never seen anything like that
Maybe it's because you pre-read the lyrics & know what's going on, but you're among the most enjoyable to watch, because you are dialed in and riding the wave on many levels. There was one reactor who would seem to always construct walls right away, and he was a drudge and a bore, because he missed the point and the boat. People watch videos of music they like not hate.
I'm very shocked, personally, that people enjoy my videos, but I'm so happy as well. This is a great hobby for me, and I get to learn so much about great music and bands, and it's just awesome that there are so many good, supportive people willing to watch AND fill in the blanks for me 😁 and of course all the great suggestions pointing me in the right direction!
I have heard reactors who give a listen and then say that the song was not for them, usually giving their reasons. Generally that is okay too. There are plenty of songs that I find boring or even annoying too. I would rather know that a reactor is not just pandering to fans of that artist or genre. I just saw a reaction to the live My God in which Ian's flute solo was very long, quite repetitive in parts, and the physical antics rather crude; she found that distasteful, and really there are better introductions to Tull. I hope she tries again, but at least she did not fawn over what did not appeal to her.
One of favorite albums is Roots to Branches- several masterpieces on that album- Valley would be a great start- don't hear to many people reacting to Roots, if any.
I was a senior in high school when this album was released; back then we blocked out an hour and listened to the album. I recommend you listen to all 60's - 70's music that way.
You are hitting the nail on the head when you say that groups from that era all have their own sound. Even as they grew and changed you still knew it was them.
Love seeing new Tull fans. Ive been one from the 70s and been to a few Tull concerts. Im in Scotland and my house name is Dun-Ringill, which is a Tull track. Dun-Ringill is actually the name of an ancient remains of an old stone Iron age Broch which is near Ians old house on the Isle of Skye.

Wind Up is another song from Aqualung album that is really special. It reminds me of many people I have known in my life, the message is great
A banger, the Jethro Tull way. Amazing as always.
Give "Wind Up" (from the same album) a listen, the theme is similar. Ian is religious, just not a fan of organized religion.
This is one of those perfect albums. Every song is worth a listen. Preferrably all together in one sitting :)

Yes, he needs to hear both "Stand Up" and "Benefit" albums. Both are excellent!

Happy to see you grooving to Jethro Tull's music just like we did back in the 70s! Great music is timeless.
Tull " Inside " " We Used To Know " " Part of the Machine "
One of the great prog rock albums of all time. Are you ready for a full album reaction? Jethro Tulls Thick as a Brick is a classic concept album that didn't want to be lol.
The myth of Sisyphus states that Sisyphus must push a stone up hill only to find that he had to start over repeatedly.
Check out Passion Play by Tull !! Nothing like it for sure.
Too Old to Rock & Roll, Too Old to Die is a great album. A concept album with a corresponding comic on the inside of the vinyl album. So nostalgic for an age i never lived. Check it out.
IAN WAS ALWAYS AGAINST ( ORGANIZED ) RELIGION, NOT RELIGION ITSELF 😊
Yep... God Saves!!
Quealety never dies and JT is the higest Q. Timeless Ouealety
To sum it up quickly, there's no band that is musically and lyrically like Tull
I think that last verse is saying Jesus is the God of life, yet we glorify His death.
Jethro Tull do not fall into any genre. Their music may be called Tull music !
Third horrah off of warchild is a great one for you to listen to and react to
The sons of WWII were very cynical towards the Church of England.
Jesus had a stone in front of the cave they buried him in and I assume they were talking about him having a problem moving it when he was resurrected.
ARE YOUUUUUUU GETTING ON THE TULLLLLL TRAIN, YESSSSSSS!!! 👍😊 LUVVVVVVV IT MAN! 💯 IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER IN PROG, THAT'S FOR SURE!
They do a song live called "Budapest", which is one of Ian's favourites - absolute virtuoso performances, especially from Martin Barre on guitar.
Yesterday was Ian's birthday. The birthday of a genius
Dontcha just love this band and the Great Ian Anderson. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@ShawnSalvadori Absolutely. We were fortunate to have good radio stations that were into progressive music that we were able to get via A.M.

Absolutely lovin your reactions to Tull, you've got to listen to the last song on this album, Wind Up to finish the god, man, religion triumvirate.
☮️💙💙💙Ian is a genius
Tull rule, Hymn has the dirtiest guitar scratch, just beautiful
One of favorite albums is Roots to Branches- several masterpieces on that album- Valley would be a great start- don't hear to many people reacting to Roots, if any.
Another great song choice. Can't go wrong with JT.

Try Cheap Day Return. It’s even shorter…. And quieter….
Without Martin Barre there is no Jethro Tull.
Ian Anderson, the greatest flute on the planet, as say many....
You are hitting the nail on the head when you say that groups from that era all have their own sound. Even as they grew and changed you still knew it was them.
Please play Living in the past
