For me Jethro Tull (the early ones) are like a kind of homeground. They always heal me from the madness out there and they do it since the mid 70s - it´s like having a spliff or a glass of whiskey with good friends and talk about the bare necessities of life and such...
Cheers to an old soul that visited the future , and we lucky ones who heard the tunes of a brilliant , mad Englishman willing to share his bliss with us. Thank you Ian and your band of merry men.
All Jethro Tull albums are masterpieces, there is no album bad , being the only band that has produced more than 20 masterpieces albums . The best progressive rock band ever existed.
At 18 this album changed the way I looked at music and the music I had been listening to. I still find it transformative for people who have never listened to it.
And how old are you now? I was 15 when this album changed my way of looking at music. 67 now.. Our kids both tell us that "you guys had the best music!" And I told my parents the same thing.. Big Band music effin' rocks!
I listened to this album again for the first time in years, the musicianship and song writing is very strong. I forgot how good this was! My favorite Tull album.
I can't get enough of that opening. From 69 to about 73 this was the soundtrack to my life. And, out of all this may be my favorite. The first time I saw them I felt I'd been inducted into a secret club. Then, at another point I felt I was the only one on earth who understood their music.
You nailed it. Those were my high school years. Graduated 73. My favorite albums were in that time I have a mix from those years and is my most played.
Many reasons for them to be recognized as one of the early and best British Prog-Rock bands, starting with Ian....c'mon man, a front man who can play classically trained flute, sophisticated chamber music and intricate finger picking on acoustic guitar, sing while balancing on one leg dangling....that alone was enough. Their music was different. But Ian was himself different.....he never tolerated BS from the audience and God bless him for that. Tull were big during the era when ass-holes would get up, wave a flag, throw a bottle, and whistle and hollar obscenities just to get on a bootleg live recording or so they thought, and Ian would have none of that talk-back from his audience. He was there to entertain and perform serious music, not schtick. A solid ensemble and Martin Barre on lead guitar was stellar. But, to hear Ian open a track with his incredible solo acoustic guitar introductions and eventually be joined on some nights by a full string orchestra......pure rock magic.
One of the bands in my youth I saw several times live (3). I can still see Ian throwing his flute high into the air (or maybe I was just high). Anyway, I still listen to them now and I'm 67. Wonderful sounds.
@@Wrkn4livn I'm 70 and no you are right on. Ian was a master front man. It would amaze me the things he could do with that flute. Very few in my circle back then liked Tull. Never could figure that out.
Jethro Tull are as English as apple pie. Part of the great English tradition of musicians, poets and artists that stretches back to Chaucer and includes Shakespeare, Johnson, Constable, Wordsworth, Shelley and Byron. I really do believe they are that good.
Today is Ian Andersons Birthday. he is like 90 years old now and looks like a old bald Italian Gardner BUT there was a time in history when he was young long hair and had a deep dark voice and totally refused like all of the rest of the English bands that came out the same time to sound like he is a black man singing the blues and just like he said in that song Play In Time. on the benefit album "The Blues Was Once My Favorite Till As A Light Skinned I found other types of music I can play" and he did , thanks lot Ian you use to be great and you still are !!! If I need an English man to sound like a black American blues singer I can always listen to Eric Clapton or Robert Plant or the dude from Small Faces. or well tons of them and they are all great. but you Ian, you rule!!!!
As a songwriter with a song recently in the top ten(#6) on the Billboard Blues Charts, I agree with you most holdheartedly!!!! Ian is Ian and I love that. There is Noone like him, and I've been a huge fan since day one. There isn't a facet of music that hasn't appeared in an Ian composition somewhere, and I love it. As great as they are, none of the aforementioned artists could have ever done this or sounded like this. Ian and Tull are unique..... Sonny T
Ian was a master showman! Always the best concerts. Once there were all these roadies in white lab coats setting up the gear on stage after the warm up group left. The the guys in the coats started tuning the guitars and walking around on the stage checking the gear and then they started playing Aqualung!!! It had been them all along.
Tull was just as exciting Musically as Zeppelin or the Who, one just had to be ready to learn something to be fascinated by it. Ian didn't want to be the Next, just the One. Cheers to a Job well done!
@@Thundergod- Saw the Bungle in the Jungle, in 75', and another one in 2000? That later your ticket Stub won you a vacation at Ian's Fish Farm in Europe! Now that would have been Fun!
@@bobdudy7177 I saw them in '75 as well, fantastic concert and also in 1978. Ian has since given up on his salmon fish farm. He said when it turned out to be more work than hobby it wasn't enjoyable any more....
I got to see them perform live at the IMA Autotorium in Flint, Michigan towards the end of 1971, right around the time the Aqualung album was released. Great concert. Damn, that was 50 years ago. My first year in university.
Every time I attend the Maryland Renaissance Festival in CrownsvilleMD I reflect back to Jethro Tull and high school days 1969-1972 and college days 1972-1976... Yes......JETHRO TULL has truly stood the test of time
very natural.......very relaxed.....not straining, not stressing, not ruining his voice.........like so many others have done, like Robert Plant etc.......who lost their voice, trying to push the high notes to the extreme limits.....Ian was always comfortable in his range, and he felt no need to push it....Smart.....
@@eltf1 Right on Richard, mine was a green '64 with Aloha surf board racks, memories is right. Don't think my buds and I really realized how we had it goin on, feel bad for kids these days.....
Yes, this one's a true masterpiece that transports you to another time and place. In my book, "Stand Up" is right up there with Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog" and the Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed" albums as some of the best progressive rock albums of all time, speaking of other albums that also seemed to fall out of the sky fully formed.

So hard to pick the best album from the best year in rock history but this masterpiece is a definite contender for the title. Purely CRIMINAL they are not in the hall of fame.
Screw the Hall of Shame. Todd Rundgren got in this year after being eligible for decades and he said he won't even attend the corporate joke that it is. The fans are all that matter, not the critics....
Ha, ha, I've just read in some comments, somebody mentioned 1971 as being the best year. No, you know those things, 1969 was the best year, indeed. Rock was still fresh and new, brilliant year, it was, :) .
I've had this LP for 50 years but it's mostly sat in the LP box. Last year (2022) I had a serious listen to it for the first time in years and it just blew me away. For just a second group album, it is astonishing. To have had the confidence to make songs of such different styles allied with the solid drumming and bass playing of Bunker and Cornick makes this one of my favourite Tull albums - and I've been listening to them since 1969.
San anyonio texas rocks wiyh u...saw BURSTING OUT in Berlin Grrmany77/78 then "A" tour here in san antonio in 81 ...im thinkin then...wow whipperd out my 10 inch & dusted it off a bit😂
I think it's the very best Jethro Tull ever did. We played it to death when it came out and I still play it over 50 years later. My flute however gathers dust these days, but I still play a few Tull songs on the piano. Wondring aloud/again is my favourite to play and sing along to.
The compositions,progressions and arrangements were sooo far ahead of almost everyone else in this time period. There were incredible albums from 1969, but only a handful that were original, and not copies of American blues artists. This,even with its blues leaning , is one of those. Sonny T
Joe Satriani said that this album is one of the 10 albums that changed his life, this album reached the number one on the UK charts and number 20 on the Billboard 200 USA chart, certainly a great success, it was the first album with guitar player Martin Barre who stayed with the band till 2012, it is indeed a fantastic album by a fantastic band, thanks for sharing.
C'était l'album couronné quand j'avais 18 ans ...., quelle période fantastique avec les Stones let it bleed, Cream avec goodbye, les who avec tommy , led zep 1 , et tant d'autres super groupes qui nous ont fait découvrir la liberté de chanter , bouger , aimer , voyager , réver .... merci au rock et pop britanniques pour votre contribution essentielle à la musique contemporaine !
Stand Up and This Was were their best efforts. When ever we are uncertain we revert to our past to right ourself. It's interesting how I still revert to these albums, like today. Enjoy and I hope you find your way!! Great memories to all.
52 years ago I was sitting with friends, high on LSD and weed, when this girl put this newly-released album on the turntable. I was pleased to have some damn fine music to add to my collection. It still thrills after all these years.
My older sister spun this album for me and at age elkeven I was hooked. for a kid who was into blues and motown it was like the music gods threw a bolt of lighting straight into my brain and I became a rokere and never looked back. My sister had told me she was picked out of crowd at na JT concewrt and was a personmal guest of Ian and She blew his flutye so she said , good for her. I grew my hair smoked some weed and the next thing I knew I was a Black Sabbath show with Ozzy at the helm . Life was special and I miss thoise days dearly. You and I are a few years apart but we lived during a space in time that will never be rerpeated. Rock on
This one got worn out on the 8 track in our 1967 VW factory camper bus, it was the only tape on board for about 2 months, love it more now... Along with Benefit, they both are all time best from JT. Stand Up - blues & jazz Benefit - very hard rock.
Reasons For Waiting. Still haunts me to this day about a girl that I thought did not love me. I was wrong, and could not undo what happened. Mom told me she was the one that I needed, and she was right. She is still in my heart after all these years...
The album that turned me on to Jethro Tull in 1970 when I bought it. Cuz I liked the album cover. The music was something I’ve never heard before at the time. Been a Tull fan ever since. First live Tull concert was 1971.
First live concert I EVER saw was when I was 13 or 14, and it was none other than TULL, right after they came out with their 'Thick As A Brick' album. The BEST.
As soon as Ian took control of the song writing, the difference becomes immediate and obvious, as that traditional Tull sound moves front and center. Ian Anderson, one of the great under-rated artists of rock.
Ian Anderson maintained a strict no drugs policy in Jethro Tull. That's why he is still an interesting bloke to listen to not an addled brained leftover from the 60s.
I've got the pop-up album. And an original fold-out newspaper 'Thick As a Brick' album. Sure miss the LP days... album covers were a real art form. You don't see that kind of creativity anymore.
It is a hot record and this was by the way perhaps the real first Jethro Tull because one other alpha - animal Mick Abrahams had left the band a pity he had been brilliant Ian Anderson alike on the album: This was Unfortunately I laid my original copy of Stand up with its original stand - up - paper - band - members only for a short while on my central - heating - body with the result that the black shimmering surface looked like the highlands from Jethro Tull
Amazing album..first 2 Tull albums are by far my fav..I still recall that feeling of ponderous melancholy during my early 20s..so when u look into the sun..
One of my favorite songs by Ian, loved this album, such a genius & the rest of the crew!!! Such a great time to listen to music!!! Never be a time like this”Eva”!!! Miss those golden years!!!! Long live Rock!!!👍👍👍
Not their best as many of their early albums are great but this one is outstanding. And the vinyl edition when they were poping up. Pure joy for me. Tnx for sharing.
1969! I was 17. Seems this album was always playing when the good times were happening. Didn't think much of Ian Anderson's later albums in the 70's. But this one has a special place in my life.
This was my first "Alt-Rock" sound - sometimes blues, sometimes thick and soft, sometimes loud enough for an edge on overdriven guitars. But that FLUTE?!! WHA - ?!! That was really a limit-presser. A sound that sliced The Box open... no need to think outside the box - the box was in pieces - flattened.

Certainly one of the greatest albums ever.
The greatest times.
Thank you Jethro Tull

Tony Iomi
Yup
100% agree, unbelievable.
Agreed
According to the imortal John Bonham, Barriemore Barlow was the best rock drummer at that era.
Yet more endless proof THIS period of music was the best! (1965-1972) On a totally different level and mindset to anything before ar after.
The creative VIBES in the ether were incredible back then!1 I was THERE but didn't fully appreciate it then...now I do...
Absolutely!
I was there and I was in a band, and I STILL didn't realize what a magical time I was living in. Listening to this now makes me stand amazed.
Number one
Agree,
This album is the definition of musical genius.
Absolutely, pure musical genius, as is all of Tull's albums, heavy metal at it's finest.

Clive Bunker on drums so raw and free...extreme hand speed
He remains the baddest most bombastic drummer the band ever had.
Great album! Used to trip to it in the 70''s...Jethro Tull was Special!!
This album and Benefit alone should have Jethro Tull in the R&R HOF. But the R&R HOF is as legit as the Nobel Peace Prize.

more blues-based than their future LP's, and that is not a bad thing.
Less blues-based than the debut album and openly colourful, announcing things to come
JT had a lot of great drummers! Clive William Bunker was the greatest one!
Mr. Clive Bunker and mr. Barriemore Barlow are the best drummers in Tull`s history.
I must have got this for Christmas 1969 (I still have it) I was 12. It made me feel grown up. At 65 it still does.

For just a second group album, it is astonishing. To have had the confidence to make songs of such different styles allied with the solid drumming and bass playing of Bunker and Cornick makes this one of my favourite Tull albums - and I've been listening to them since 1969.
Of course it did....I can't stop listening to the first 4 lp s
themarshun , your comment is very interesting, jethro tull is a band for all seasons, for eternity; i am 67, i know what i mean
There's sth wrong in your live if you hardly listened to this masterpiece for 50 years 😔
San anyonio texas rocks wiyh u...saw BURSTING OUT in Berlin Grrmany77/78 then "A" tour here in san antonio in 81 ...im thinkin then...wow whipperd out my 10 inch & dusted it off a bit😂
A Masterpiece in every single note... my fav JT work
My Favorit ist from 1982: The Broadsword and the Beast. I find on this Album his Voice is brillant
I think it's the very best Jethro Tull ever did. We played it to death when it came out and I still play it over 50 years later. My flute however gathers dust these days, but I still play a few Tull songs on the piano. Wondring aloud/again is my favourite to play and sing along to.
Such a great album!!
The compositions,progressions and arrangements were sooo far ahead of almost everyone else in this time period. There were incredible albums from 1969, but only a handful that were original, and not copies of American blues artists. This,even with its blues leaning , is one of those. Sonny T
PS: one year later;
Martin Barre is A Beast!!! Sonny T
Stand up defines very well the Jethro tull sound , is one the their best albums, excellent mixture among prog rock and folk
Joe Satriani said that this album is one of the 10 albums that changed his life, this album reached the number one on the UK charts and number 20 on the Billboard 200 USA chart, certainly a great success, it was the first album with guitar player Martin Barre who stayed with the band till 2012, it is indeed a fantastic album by a fantastic band, thanks for sharing.
Joe who?
C'était l'album couronné quand j'avais 18 ans ...., quelle période fantastique avec les Stones let it bleed, Cream avec goodbye, les who avec tommy , led zep 1 , et tant d'autres super groupes qui nous ont fait découvrir la liberté de chanter , bouger , aimer , voyager , réver .... merci au rock et pop britanniques pour votre contribution essentielle à la musique contemporaine !
Fabulous album. Amazing Anderson could write so well at such a young age.
a genius..
....a man and his flute,...and his band.......69 was a great year...Ian and company...still the best..
Stand Up and This Was were their best efforts. When ever we are uncertain we revert to our past to right ourself. It's interesting how I still revert to these albums, like today. Enjoy and I hope you find your way!! Great memories to all.
'70s music has engraved grooves in my brain!
@@smkh2890 That's fine but this is 60s music.....where it really all happened.
@@timhancock6626 Tim, I was a teenager in the 60s so I was there when it happened.
@@smkh2890 then why talk about 70's music ?
@@wazza16021956 Aqualung. 1971
Love the drums in Nothing is Easy.
52 years ago I was sitting with friends, high on LSD and weed, when this girl put this newly-released album on the turntable. I was pleased to have some damn fine music to add to my collection. It still thrills after all these years.
My older sister spun this album for me and at age elkeven I was hooked. for a kid who was into blues and motown it was like the music gods threw a bolt of lighting straight into my brain and I became a rokere and never looked back. My sister had told me she was picked out of crowd at na JT concewrt and was a personmal guest of Ian and She blew his flutye so she said , good for her. I grew my hair smoked some weed and the next thing I knew I was a Black Sabbath show with Ozzy at the helm . Life was special and I miss thoise days dearly. You and I are a few years apart but we lived during a space in time that will never be rerpeated. Rock on
Miss those trippy years of yore.
This one got worn out on the 8 track in our 1967 VW factory camper bus, it was the only tape on board for about 2 months, love it more now...
Along with Benefit, they both are all time best from JT.
Stand Up - blues & jazz
Benefit - very hard rock.
I agree; Stand Up is blues, jazz, folk, rock, classical music (Bach), and more, i think. What a record.
Forgot how good this album was
Riascoltare questo capolavoro dopo tanti
anni mi riempie di soddisfazione e gioia.
Gloria eterna Ian Anderson!!
sono d'accordo, hai detto bene Anderson sarà ricordato alla stregua dei grandi musicisti di musica classica del passato.
The genius of Ian Anderson produced this masterpiece along with the extraordinary talent of these musicians.
'Reasons For Waiting'. WOW! Good headphones or a nice surround system are a must for this album. Preferably.... a high volume surround.
Reasons For Waiting. Still haunts me to this day about a girl that I thought did not love me. I was wrong, and could not undo what happened. Mom told me she was the one that I needed, and she was right. She is still in my heart after all these years...
It's a bitch ain't it? She wont leave and you're not about to throw her out. So every girl after her gets short changed. And therefore we do as well.
I have a girl like that in my life too. Oh, what could have been, but it's too late now.
The album that turned me on to Jethro Tull in 1970 when I bought it. Cuz I liked the album cover. The music was something I’ve never heard before at the time. Been a Tull fan ever since. First live Tull concert was 1971.
J S Bach would love this version of his "Bourree"
First live concert I EVER saw was when I was 13 or 14, and it was none other than TULL, right after they came out with their 'Thick As A Brick' album. The BEST.
I saw them perform "Thick as a Brick" in Seattle when it first came out. Wonderful!!!!
@@Ileah Awesome, Cynthia...that was my very first rock concert EVER. Epic. Had the 8-track playin in my '67 GTO every day. 🥸👍
The first album I ever bought - It was a new day back then, still is
Sorry, it's an old day now...
Hah! First album I ever bought too.
It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now ;-)
I got lucky and found a almost prefect copy of this record..
The "STAND UP" feature of the album design is WAY TOO COOL..
I got this album for my 19th birthday in 1969, and it’s still my favourite album of all time. A true masterpiece.
As soon as Ian took control of the song writing, the difference becomes immediate and obvious, as that traditional Tull sound moves front and center. Ian Anderson, one of the great under-rated artists of rock.
Magnificent LP, one of Jethro Tull's best and catchiest. Raw and pure at the same time.
I was 13 when I was lucky enough to listen to it, We Used to Know strucks me even more now for obvious reasons....after so many decades.
Was in my 1964 Fairlane listing to a Muntz 8 track smoking Gold
Ian Anderson maintained a strict no drugs policy in Jethro Tull. That's why he is still an interesting bloke to listen to not an addled brained leftover from the 60s.
I remember cranking this in my Walkman on my way to the ski slopes. Dharma always got me pumped.
Walkman....LOL had this on vinyl 10 years b4 the walkman was born..but it bangs on any media
So different than anything else then or now.
Been listening to this album for 55 years and I'm listening to it now. This was the best of Tull, raw and full of energy.
When the album is opened, little carboard cutouts of the four pop up.
I had so many awesome albums from the time,they were all lost in a move.
Yes. I had the original album and open it and Tull popped up. Thus Stand Up!! :-)
Cool groovy tunes nice harmonica
I've got the pop-up album. And an original fold-out newspaper 'Thick As a Brick' album. Sure miss the LP days... album covers were a real art form. You don't see that kind of creativity anymore.
It is a hot record
and this was
by the way
perhaps
the real first Jethro Tull
because
one other alpha - animal
Mick Abrahams
had left the band
a pity
he had been brilliant
Ian Anderson alike
on the album: This was
Unfortunately
I laid my
original copy of
Stand up
with its original
stand - up - paper - band - members
only for a short while
on my central - heating - body
with the result
that the black
shimmering
surface
looked
like
the highlands
from
Jethro Tull
A young me in 1970 on acid and listening to this while my ottoman was taking me on a trip my feet will never forget!👌🏼✌️❤️
Amazing album..first 2 Tull albums are by far my fav..I still recall that feeling of ponderous melancholy during my early 20s..so when u look into the sun..
My new wife of 6 months and I brought this album home back in 1970 and played it every day for two years. No shit.
I've loved this album since I was 7...such a beautiful memory back to those times...
One of my favorite songs by Ian, loved this album, such a genius & the rest of the crew!!! Such a great time to listen to music!!! Never be a time like this”Eva”!!! Miss those golden years!!!! Long live Rock!!!👍👍👍
I remember listening to this album in. 1974 when I lived in Ft Worth.
Not their best as many of their early albums are great but this one is outstanding.
And the vinyl edition when they were poping up.
Pure joy for me.
Tnx for sharing.
The quintessential Tull album in my opinion. Their ability to make a pleasing alloy betwixt hard rock, jazz and folk is still nonpareil.
Love this album - lots of fond memories!!
1969! I was 17. Seems this album was always playing when the good times were happening. Didn't think much of Ian Anderson's later albums in the 70's. But this one has a special place in my life.
Managed a Radio Shack in the 70's. Used to blast this through all the audio gear in the back. Great memories.
...Toda La Creación De Anderson Y Compañía Es Excepcional.... Entre Otras Thick Si A Brick...
This was my first "Alt-Rock" sound - sometimes blues, sometimes thick and soft, sometimes loud enough for an edge on overdriven guitars. But that FLUTE?!! WHA - ?!! That was really a limit-presser. A sound that sliced The Box open... no need to think outside the box - the box was in pieces - flattened.
Ранние, изумительные.Спасибо. Люблю за сложность исполнения.
I can't read this but I'm assuming it's good.
an outstanding work on all levels, youth today has no concept
The bad old days they came and went giving way to fruitful years lyrics that uplift with beautiful music pure Tul
REASON FOR WAITING FANTASTIC SONG !
I just love all these tunes!
