Ian Anderson-probably the single most talented and brilliant musician, composer, lyricist, singer, instrumentalist, songwriter, performer and front-man in the history of rock music!!!There's never been anyone better. His IQ must be off the charts!
I would put Zappa at #1.
🥰🥰🥰
@@tixximmi1 I love Tull and Zappa so much I’d be hard pressed to pick one over the other !
I can concur. It is very hard to find talent like Ian, these days.
@@tixximmi1 , tie. At one point in my life I owned all Zappa's and Jethro Tull's LPs .... bad mistake selling them in 1989;
The flute is kind of a signum for Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson. The fun fact is that he is totally self-taught on the flute.
Even more fun, he never held the flute correctly, until his daughter showed him. I'm told he brought up his children without letting them know how rich he was. Instead of using his money to buy castles, like other rock stars, he invested heavily in North Sea oil.
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2Uwow I did not know that!
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U He invested in farming salmon. A bootleg album is entitled: "A Salmon Farmer".
@@peterdoe2617 :P
@@ThatsMrPencilneck2U He also owns a fish farm where he now spends a lot of his time just chilling out and raising fish.
It’s a powerful realization that 53 years later their music is still blowing away the audience.
🥰🥰🥰
Mozart does it even better 😆
@@criomat I don't know. I never heard Mozart on the flute and I have no idea how he sang.
@@williamgechtman9287I meant that Mozart continues to amaze audiences much more than 53 years later. that's all.
@@criomat More of a Bach guy myself, but I understand.
Ian Anderson was teaching himself flute and had about 2 years of flute practice at the time of this concert. Keep in mind he was practicing other instruments as well. He is a multi-instrumental artistic genius who takes his live performances very seriously..
Jethro Tull's best live concert footage will be found throughout the 70's.
He is amazing, thanks for sharing🥰🥰🥰
So true! And don't forget to mention that he is one of the very best progressive rock composers, and definitely in the TOP 5 of all times best writers of lyrics. Most artist would be happy with fraction of his talents. He is truly a genius.
@@AaliyahCapili He also play the pipe very well . I remember saw him in a magazine long ago dressed like an Irish ☘️ in a concert 🎵.
I have something for you, I think you are ready. Try KISS ODESSY 1981, you are going to love it 😊 ❤
It was around that time I saw a live concert in J-ville, FL. Got a cheap seat behind the band but so what, the sound was there. And being up in the back so was the weed of the day. Excellent all around.
Actually his best music was prior to Aqualung.
Welcome to Tull world, see what you have missed! Hats off to Ian Anderson! The greatest minstrel there ever has been.
Thanks so much
Ian Anderson is a Mad Genius Jester. This performance is captivating and always takes me somewhere emotionally. The talent is undeniable, but "He is the God of Nothing...and Everything" really sums it up.
Thanks for sharing
His scat flute style has been criticized by many flutists. But anyone who can open up their emotions to Ian's entertainment style soon comes to not just approve, but to revel in his blessed cacophony.
Thanks for sharing
Not to be profane, but screw over-trained, under-imaginative "FLOUTISTS" .......
Ian Anderson describes himself as being simultaneously the best and worst rock flute player in the world.
Which makes sense, as he is the ONLY rock flute player in the world!
😂
@@robbob5302
Now, maybe, but don't forget the (sadly) late Ray Thomas. (Co-founder of The Moody Blues)
Actually that's untrue. While he is not a classical trained flautist, his technique and ability are first class. He is a damn good musician
“Songs From The Wood” is my usual recommendation to start with Tull. Their song “Thick As A Brick,” is over 40 minutes long. Welcome to Jethro Tull!
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
Heavy horses is a fine accomanyment to songs from the wood!
I would recommend for "beginners" to Tull that they start with "This Was." then move on to "Stand Up," before going on to "Benefit." That last one is still my favorite after more than 50 years as a fan. "Aqualung" is the full-blown rock masterpiece.
i would say ; stand up , aqualung ,thick as a brick and then passion play en then nothing anymore ...its going down .....aqualung is the masterpiece and songs from the wood the vinegar of this wine
Jethro Tull is a very satirical band. A lot of classic British humor and cynicism is riddled throughout their songs. This is also the period where he was wearing the codpiece - another humorous touch.
Thanks for sharing
The British are a very creative race in all aspects of human activity.
During the flute solo he does a little bit of "Camptown Ladies" and the Christmas song was "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
Thanks for sharing
Camptown Races
My 10 year old daughter plays the flute and was blown away that a rock singer was able to incorporate a flute in rock music.
🥰🥰🥰
Peter Gabriel (Genesis) is another who successfully brought the flute into progressive rock.
Have her check Marshall Tucker.
Numerous bands had flute players.
@@smythharris2635 Can you name any of them?
If you like this, you owe it to yourself to listen to Aqualung -- the entire album. It is a rock masterpiece.
Thanks for the recommendation
agreed awesome recommendation
I use to have Aqualung as well as songs from the wood
Thick as a brick is one song on two sides.
I have to throw Heavy Horses into this mix too... & never forget the awesome live offering Bursting Out!
Check out his song "Skating away on the thin ice of the new day" to get real idea of how good they are. I saw them live many times in the 70's and 80's
Thanks for the recommendation
@@AaliyahCapili I also second this recomendation! Ian's band is well known for hits like Aqualung, but this is a hidden gem that really brings out the band's ability to do complex arrangements. Tull is heavily influenced by classical music as well, if you decide to check out more of their stuff.
ua-cam.com/video/Zq-bcFOI56E/v-deo.html
Bungle in the Jungle is a lot of fun.
I have been in love with this Band since I first heard "living in the past " back in 1971.
🥰
Living in the past was 72.
Jethro Tull was one of those bands just loaded with musical talent. There are videos of them switching instruments and playing baroque-era instruments. Most of them never got the recognition that they deserved because they were all overshadowed by the genius of Ian Anderson. He was (and still IS) a phenomenal musician that could play numerous instruments (all self-taught). His lyrics were always thought-provoking, and his comedic genius on-stage was just what was needed when he was performing. There will never be another like him. He is in his 70s now and still performing! There are several fascinating interviews on UA-cam of him talking about his music and Jethro Tull…highly recommended!
Others have suggested other songs/performances you should watch-Aqualung; Locomotive Breath; Thick as a Brick…
Thanks super much for sharing💕
Another recommendation from me is "Bouree"
The list kinda goes on and on and on! A master musician and a virtuoso genius!
Your face said it all. Not only a captivating voice but Ian Anderson was very charismatic with his unusual dance moves and wild eyed facial expressions. "Full of surprises" is a great way of describing this band. They were influenced by a lot of musical genres and were able to weave them together for a very unique sound especially since they included a flute. I was able to see them in concert and definitely an amazing night.
Thanks so much for sharing🥰🥰🥰
Tull was always my favorite growing up in the 70s, and they still are, for the most part. Thank you, Aaliyah.
He is also self taught on sax which he used quite a bit on some of the albums.
Saw them in Germany in 1976, what a very unique band.
Thanks for watching too🥰
Jethro Tull was my 1st concert ever in the 70s. I was 13 and stood right by the stage. Incredible.
🥰🥰🥰
One of their most sublime pieces is 'For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me'.
Thanks for sharing
Yes, love that one.
When you listen to Jethro Tull you better be ready for an E Ticket Ride. Tull has a library of songs that will leave you speechless. In prolly late 1970 or into 1971, I was home ported at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Jethro Tull came to town and played at a little theater off of Waikiki. The show was sold out but my buddy and I worked our way around to a side door. We tried the door and it opened, there was a stage hand there who saw we were alone. He made a shush motion with his hand and he let us watch the show off stage left. Holy crap, we were 20 to 25 feet from the drum kit. I'll never forget that night. Ian Anderson is/was 100% stand on the gas. That guy and the band put on one incredible show.
Oh thanks so much for sharing🥰
Wow that was lucky!
Sadly, I don't think young people know what an E ticket is. Disney did away with lettered tickets way back when. I still use it though.
Ahhh... when Disney was *DISNEY*! Yes, this was definitely an E ticket ride -- and more.
Piano also... No one talks about the lyrics when reacting to this song... They are powerful & deep; they contain some real Spiritual keys in it!
I saw this band in concert before you were born. Another song of theirs that is similar to this one is called 'Wind Up"... These two songs formed the bases for my Spiritual development. Worth a listen-reaction
Thanks for taking the time to share
Agree! His lyrics were phenomenal
Your face in the flute solo was classic, Ian Anderson gets ya like that, great reaction
Thanks so much😍😍😍
You have found actually the greatest flautist in rock and roll history. It doesn't get better than this.
🥰🥰🥰
both flute and lute
To be fair it's a fairly narrow field
Flute players call themselves flute players. I've worked in the musical instrument manufacturing world for years & flute players roll their eyes at the word flautist.
There'll not be music like that ever again ! This amount of talent is incredibly rare !
Thanks for sharing
I have probably seen well over 200 concerts in my life. Tull is by far my favorite. Ian Anderson projects so much energy and passion for his music and it is contagious.
Thanks so much for sharing🌺
It’s crazy to think I’ve been listening to them for over 50 years and they still sound as good as “ My Sunday Feeling “. the first song I heard them play.
Happy to see a young and obviously very talented young woman so impressed.
Oh thanks so much, they are amazing
The very first song of Jethro Tull I heard was Witch's Promise. That was in 1970 as a 15 year old. I still listen to Jethro Tull today.
I saw them live at Sydney's State Theatre in 1996 when Ian Anderson was in a wheel chair. He fell off the stage in a performance in Lima Peru, tearing the ligaments behind his knee.
A Great band that never got its deserved recognition pure genius
Thanks for sharing🌺
One of the most talented bands ever, with a genius at it's helm.
🥰🥰🥰
Ian is pure brilliance. One of my all time favorites.
🥰🥰🥰
Seen them many times and still touring the world today !!!
Old from the 70s Tull fan. Saw the original band. Ian solo kinda sux. Saw him a couple of yrs ago in Nashville. Waste of $.
Go see Martin Barre!! Now that'll crank yer cylinders.
🥰🥰🥰
My wife was first flutist throughout high school and for years before, concerts and marching band, and she says she’s amazed at what he could do, all the lip techniques and stuff only other flutists can appreciate, things that she couldn’t have pulled off in a million years. Full admiration.
Thanks so much for sharing💕
Thank you Aaliyah for your insightful comments/reaction to Jethro Tull. You obviously know more than 90% of the general population about music (you've been studying for what 10, 15 years?). Ian Anderson is indeed a multi-talented musician, singer, songwriter, performer/showman. I look forward to seeing many more of your 'reactions'.
Oh wow thanks so much for your kind appreciation and support🌺
Hi Aaliyah, what baffles me most is, that he can find enough air to both sing through the flute AND play it!
He is so amazing😍
Welcome toTull. There is a massive back catalog to choose from. If as an opera singer you enjoy complex music, then Jethro Tull is for you. Eat your heart out Lizzo.
Thanks for sharing
Ian Anderson inspired me to learn to play the flute when I was much younger.
Lol.... I hear you - same here!!! 👍👍
Thanks for sharing
Jethro Tull as SO creative and such great musicians. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Thanks for watching too
Dude is worthy Hundreds of Millions of dollars today...I think he made his point in the music industry
Thanks for sharing
so Ian taught himself how to play the flute as a teen. then when he was watching his daughter take lessons he discovered he'd been doing it wrong throughout his career, stopped & learned the proper fingering & went back on tour. he now plqys about a dozen instruments, a true musical Rennaisance man.
Thanks for sharing
Ian Anderson is a one of a kind frontman best known for his flute playing and crazy antics, he was a real character on stage, I saw him 6 times, including several times together in the 70s including front row once, great band, he and longtime guitar player Martin Barre are Jethro Tull, until Martin left a decade ago. Their late 60s through early 80s output is outstanding. One great album after another, try Locomotive Breath for more greatness from this amazing band. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
"Locomotive Breath", "Thick as a Brick" and Bungle in the Jungle" are some other huge hits by Jethro Tull
i would add of course Aqualung
Thanks so much for sharing
Ian Anderson and the rest of the band will take you on a wild and unexpected ride! Very dramatic, intelligent, great music!! I love Tull! I was lucky enough to see them in concert three times. I always felt like I was watching a dramatic performance, much more than just a rock concert.!
🥰🥰🥰
Flute was in a lot of rock music. Tull, Zappa, Steelwind, Gentle Giant, Camel, Moody Blues, Ayreon, and many many more. Rock can handle all instruments including the Zither and Cornu. (see Frank Zappa)
Thanks so much for sharing
Ian has a very individual way of playing his flute often balanced on one leg! I love it. Including Camptown Races and God Rest Ye merry gentlemen in the solo is Typical Ian Anderson! Jethro Tull are a unique experience, especially live.
😍😍😍
I've been listening to Tull for over 50 years. i saw them in mid70s. Love your reaction.
Thanks so much♥️♥️♥️
I enjoyed your commentary and reaction, Aaliyah. You're a sweetie. And you're an amazing singer as well.
Thank you so much for your kind words🥰
I was in the audience for this way back as a teenager.........Isle of Wight Pop Festival 1970.....
Oh wow thanks so much for sharing
I am going to have to second the motion for anyone who has any interest in Jethro Tull to listen to the studio version of Skating Away. Pure brilliance.
I could not agree with you more! I love that song,it's just how I feel on one of those days!
Thanks for the recommendation
Thanks for the recommendation
My sister took me to see Jethro Tull as my first concert and it was definitely an experience…… she just saw him again 50 years later and told me he still put on an amazing performance
Oh wow thanks so much for sharing🥰
Ian Anderson took the inpirations from jazz musician Roland Kirk, you should listen to "Bourée", which is based on a J.S. Bach piece.
Thanks for sharing
I first saw Jethro Tull at the Los Angeles Forum in 1973. The band played this song and others from Aqualung, as well as A Passion Play and Thick As A Brick. This was an outstanding band and their music has held up very well after 50 years. Jethro Tull is right up there in my top 10 bands -- The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Love, Kansas, Rolling Stones, and ZZ Topp.
Thanks so much for sharing
In the 80s, Ian Anderson, the lead creative of the band, took a break and started farming catfish in Scotland. He is now the largest provider of catfish in the world, and his music is just his hobby. He has over the course of the 2000s remastered just about his entire backlog and still puts out an album every few years, including one just last year. He was also recently in an episode of Norman Readus show where he tours exotic country on motorcycle. And finally, in 2002, Jethro Tull celebrated their official 50th anniversary.
Thanks for the info and for sharing💕
By far, my favorite band. they have such a range of music that the grammies started a new category for them.
Thanks for sharing 🥰
Loved your reaction to my favorite band ! 👀
Thank you🥰🥰🥰
Mine too
Excellent reaction! Jethro Tull are absolutely amazing, everyone of them is a top-tier musician. Their 70s catalog is epic, "Aqualung" is probably their most famous song from that area, that would be a great reaction as there is an amazing live video of it on UA-cam from 1980. They had three consecutive albums in the late 70s that were their "Folk Rock" albums, "Songs from the Wood", "Heavy Horses" and "Storm Watch". All three are great and the live videos from that area will blow your mind (entire concerts from 1977 & 1978 are really worth watching), they used some medieval musical instruments during that era as well. They also influenced a ton of rock and Metal bands, especially Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull are one of the greats.
Those albums you referenced are not folk songs . They are rock albums with a blend of styles as Tull always mixes it up!
If you want to know folk rock then listen to James Taylor or Simon and Garfunkel, Fairport Convention, Bob Dylan.
It's "Celtic" folk music mixed with rock, I wasn't referring to American "Folk Rock".@@joelliebler5690
Thanks for sharing🌺
SFTW is by far my favorite Tull album, Not far behind is Minstrel in the Gallery.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull in concert back in the 70s. It was a fantastic, once in a lifetime, performance!
Oh you are so lucky🥰
I saw them in concert twice, once here in the states and once in the UK. They gave you your money's worth.
Oh 🥰🥰🥰Thanks for sharing
An absolute pleasure to see your reactions to this "nutty" band! I was actually at this concert and they do wacky stuff at concerts as you can see. There commercial stuff flows better!
Thanks for sharing
Jethro Tull has a great many records. If you have never listened to a concept album before than may i suggest "thick as a brick"
Thanks for the recommendation
I was privileged to witness a Jethro Tull concert in Berlin Germany. They started on a dark stage with him playing a flute with a spotlight shining on him. Everyone was leaning forward mesmerized until with a burst of light and sound blew everyone away.
Thanks for sharing your experience💕
Wann und wo? Greetings from Berlin 🎸 👍🎶
Ian Anderson was also one of the greatest front man ... in a hand the flute and in the other the audience!
🥰🥰🥰
Jethro Tull was formed in the UK by Ian Anderson (vocals, guitar & flute) in the 1960's and their debut album was released in 1968 ('This was') ... Anderson is the only original member left... Martin Barre (guitars) was the longest serving member of Jethro Tull, but the underrated guitarist and Ian Anderson parted company by 2012. Ian Anderson recently reformed Jethro Tull w/ new members and released 2 recent albums - 'The Zealot Gene' (2022) and 'RokFlote' (2023).
Jethro Tull became a phenomenon in the 70's after the success of their 4th album 'Aqualung' in 1971... and 'Thick as a brick' in 1972... They released a string of gold selling records in the 70's, including 'Minstrel in the Gallery' (1975) and 'Stormwatch' (1979)... Their blend of heavy rock, blues and folk music was a unique approach to this day.
Despite their 70's heyday... Jethro Tull encountered changing members throughout their career. The 80's brought about their decline initially, but the scored a gold selling record in 1987 - 'Crest of a Knave'... It infamously won a Grammy Award for 'Best Metal Record' in 1989, beating out favorites Metallica (The Grammy Awards were mocked endlessly for that one because Jethro Tull were not a metal band and did not expect to win the award!)
Sadly, the 90's decade followed by the 2000's showed little fanfare for new music from Jethro Tull... the band stopped releasing new music after 2003 and split up by 2012 as a 'Legacy' band... However, Ian Anderson reformed Jethro Tull in 2017 (?) and their new records have actually charted worldwide.
Classic Jethro Tull songs - 'Aqualung' ... 'Locomotive breath' ... 'Thick as a brick, Pt. 1' ... 'A song for Jeffrey'...
Thank you very much for all the info and for sharing🌺🌺🌺
Yay! I love it when young people discover a band that I've loved for 45 years. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe Ian Anderson.
I don't think there's enough hyperbole to describe Ian Anderson.
He's not just an amazing performer, singer, and flutist...Etc.
He is a superlative composer and lyricist.
As you dig deeper and deeper into their music, don't forget to read his lyrics. His lyrics are poetry.
Thank you very much 🌺
So true.
I loved that..."that's some level of talent" it sure is
🥰
Jethro Tull is an awesome band in a league all their own. Super talented and always entertaining.
🥰🥰🥰
The Christmas song was 'Tidings of comfort & joy' Nice reaction, thanks 🙂
Thank you too!
I was there - they blew us away :-)
😍😍😍
Hi there, love your reactions, mainly because of your warm personality and lovely smile. Progressive Rock was the genre of music I grew up on from my teenage year. I am 67, it was mainly popular in the 70s but I still love it. My personal favourite bands (in order) were Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and Emerson Lake and Palmer. The whole point of Progressive Rock is that they were trying new styles of music, blending different genres and basically they made music any way they felt like. It was a very exciting time to live in. Albums would be published and the fans had no idea what to expect. If you have not reacted to the above bands (and I am sure others here will have suggestions too) I recommend them all as worth a look.
Thank you very much for the recommendations,much appreciated🥰
@@AaliyahCapili You are welcome
you have a good ear, Jethro Tull threw in a bar or so of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which is a well known holiday tune. Loved the reaction. Lots of good JT flute and rock songs. "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" is one of the best flute tunes. "Minstrel in the Gallery" is great pre-metal rock plus flute, i think it is their hardest tune. But there are too many to count thhat are great. "Aqualungj" "Mother Goose" "Songs from the Wood" "Too Old to Rock and Roll" i could go on all day.
Thanks so much for sharing and for the recommendation
You're Welcome! @@AaliyahCapili
Tull often lulls you in with softness then drops the hard rock hammer. Surprises around every turn in this genre. The Mad Bard is awesome.
I would suggest Minstrel in the Gallery, a great great tune.
Thanks for the recommendation
It is fascinating to watch someone with your credentials do a reaction review of Jethro Tull. I just had to subscribe. Your being so pretty helped too. Ian Anderson is a true musical genuis. Very talented.
Oh thank you very much, much appreciated💕💕💕
So nice to see younger musicians discover what amazing music us old folk have been listening to for 50 years. Ian Anderson with Jethro Tull mixed music genres that NO ONE dreamed possible.
🥰🥰🤗
One of my favorite live bands. Always phenominal, theatrical shows. I saw Jethro Tull 3x in Colorado USA. Frontman Ian Anderson always delivered.
🥰🥰🥰
Ian Anderson is definitely known for his flute playing. If you want an amazing flute within a rock song, you need to check out the song Supper's Ready by Genesis. Peter Gabriel plays the flute in a few places. It is a long song, but it is done in 7 parts and the live performance is something to behold.
Thanks for the recommendation🌺
Brilliant choice. Is always enjoyable to see young people discovering legendary classic artists.
🥰🥰🥰
Now 74 I will always have a fond place in my heart for Jethro Tull, their early album 'Stand Up' being one of my favourites. I read that Ian is now having some health issues and I hope for the best for him, a truly massive talent indeed, and all these comments praising him and his band are not exaggerations.
Thanks so much for sharing
I love how genuine your reaction is, not posed or faked. You can be very confident in yourself and your knowledge and abilities. If this vid piqued your interest, the whole Isle of Wight gig is mind blowing. And well done on the singing! My mum is a trained singer, you've got a great voice. Mike. 😃👍🤟✌️
Oh hello, thank you very much for your kind words and for sharing about your Mum🥰thanks again
The members of the band changed over the years. This is an early lineup; the best, IMO. Especially with Glenn Cornick on the bass guitar.
Interesting you mention Glenn Cornick. He was a truly brilliant, but little known bass guitarist. Very nimble on the fret board putting together lovely runs that matched the front music so well. I think his best work was on Benefit. I saw him live after Tull in Wild Turkey and couldn’t take my eyes off him, he is sadly with us no more and like so many bassists, went without the recognition he deserved.
Thanks for sharing
Love you girl. Glad to see you're well. More please. Find the best sings 🎶
Thanks so much🥰
ian anderson plays acoustic/electric guitars ,sax,drums,keyboard,bagpipe,violin,balalaika,clarinet,flute and whistles all self-taught
Thanks for sharing
i listened to Jethro Tull about 40 years ago .. And it's a pleasure to see you reacting ;-))))
Thanks so much for watching🥰
I've never heard of anyone who could sing while playing a wind instrument. Amazing!
🥰🥰🥰
I had already been a Jethro Tull fan for many, many years - and quite familiar with the album version of this song… I used to practice playing drums along with it. When I finally saw this performance, I was really blown away at how extended the solo was, and Ian Anderson’s performance… “Full of surprises”, indeed!
Thanks for sharing
Nice reaction. Love Tull. I saw the band in the summer of 1975 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. Incredible
Oh wow thanks for sharing
Ian Anderson's flute solos in concert have always been improv masterpieces - more so some time after this performance, after he had had some formal training (prompted by his daughter learning flute in school and telling him his fingering was all wrong). Somewhere out there is a video of sometime in the last few years when he gave a talk with performances to a group of music students from his favorite flute shop in London, where he made several points about the importance of improvisation in music.
Thanks for sharing
I saw Jethro Tull's first performance in the United States by chance. JT was third on a bill that was headlined by Blood, Sweat, and Tears. So, Jethro Tull opened the show. They totally schocked The Fillmore East crowd. Instant superstars. I saw them numerous times during their first couple of years and their shows were always spectacular. Loved your reaction.
Thanks so much for sharing♥️
This band has a lot of great songs.
🥰🥰🥰
My late Uncle was a classical flautist and he introduced me to Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull's music back in the late 1960s and Living in the Past was a Tull single I bought back then, always loved his music and have a few albums of his. My late uncle played in an orchestra and in folk, blues and jazz bands, we had him play along with us in the band I played in back in the early 70s and it really did bring another dimension to our music.
Thanks for a great reaction
Thanks so much for sharing
I had the pleasure of seeing Tull twice. Once in Bremen, Germany about 1980 and once at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado in mid 1980s.
Thanks for sharing🌺
This is a great idea to have you react to something like this. Perhaps the best thing about the rock music of the 1960's and 1970's was the willingness of artists to take risks and trust their audience to follow along and keep up with it. I've watched a few reactions of Jethro Tull by flute players, and they are usually taken aback by the breathiness of the playing.
The one bit that was perhaps a recognizable melody was "Camptown Races", sort of an American cowboy song.
Thanks so much for sharing🌺
Tull has some of the best musicians in rock. This is one of my favorite tull songs. They songs from the wood next
Thanks for sharing
Thick as a brick live at Madison Square Garden 1977 is a must
Thanks for sharing
great choice !!
Jethro Tull was top in the seventies, his inimitable music was fresh and innovating , creative with some Scottish flavor and introducing the classic flute into the world of rock.
Ian Anderson is a genius who is capable of playing several instruments and teaching himself to play the flute. Super expressive artist, great storyteller, charismatic and almost super man. Imagine performing live for two hours singing, jumping, dancing, playing the flute with his iconic pose while standing on one leg and one arm raised, and doing it over and over again and not falls and died !!.
Their concerts were a great festival of music, dance, theater, fun and of another level.
Check out their live concerts and you will be mind blow. Check for your self .
Thick as a brick, Locomotive breath, Aqualung, wind up, Cross eye Mary, Living in the past ect...
Keep on rocking ❤
Greetings from Barcelona
Hello, greetings too and thanks so much for sharing💕
When I saw you were reacting to the amazing and talented Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull I had to check this out, and I'm go glad I did! Epic performance and a great reaction. What more could anyone want? You need to check out more of his music!!
Oh thanks sooo much 🥰🥰🥰
One of my favorite performances! Not just my favorite Jethro Tull performance; One of my favorites of all time...period. Ian Anderson in his prime could take over the stage with his mere presence! What a shownman!!!
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
One of my fav.s from Jethro Tull
🥰🥰🥰
Love watching you react. Great song, great band. Keep it up !!
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰
Ian Anderson was self-taught on the flute and his young daughter wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. Fast forward.....she attended a Music Conservatory and became an accomplished flute player. One day her and her father were chatting and she told him dad, you aren't holding the flute in the proper manner. He just kinda looked at her in a puzzled sorta way and said to her....NAW....so she let it be. True story!!
Oh thanks so much for sharing

Back then almost everyone going to the show would have had the album... so Ian Anderson would sometimes go off on weird tangents just for a laugh and to give the audience something not on the more serious album. He didn't take himself too seriously, but also put in a lot of showmanship.
Thanks for sharing🌺
If you thought that was cool Aaliyah you should also check out the album "Thick As A Brick" . It is an all time classic as far as rock albums go
Thanks so much for sharing🥰
