Amen to that! - one of my favourite guitarists of all time - and completely unique. For some reason, Martin was rarely given the opportunity to play his full solo from "We Used To Know" - which for me was probably his best studio solo ever! Yes, I know his work on "Aqualung" was truly brilliant - and rightly highly praised -but i just adore the both solos on WUTK.
The best Jethro Tull from 1968 to 1972. When Glenn Cornick was kicked out the band never sounded the same. The best of times. I thank the Lord I was alive during that time
Martin Barre is a guitar player. Glenn Cornick was a bass player. We are discussing bass players here. My opinion is that Jethro Tull from 1968 to 1972 were amongst the greatest bands to ever exist.@@ironhorse1962
@chicklets4ever51 tout à fait d'accord ! MAIS Martin est parti avec l'âme de JT.....voir l'énergie de son propre groupe et les versions parfaitement réalisées des chansons qu'ils exécutent
Ian Anderson was one of the most captivating front men ever; even when he's not at the mike. And Jethro Tull were just in a league all their own! Every one of them a great musician.
Why talking about thme at a past tense ? I may not appreciate all his decisions but Ian is still playing concerts, has just released a good album and, in spite of his vocal problems, he's still a very good musician and frontman on stage.
Surrounded by heavy timber, no neighbors, lotta buddies, lotta whiskey, lotta reefer, I lived 30 miles north of Everett, Washington in a log cabin surrounded by huge cedar & fir trees, 1973. Ya, i being 20 years old, a union job ..I was making the equivalent in today's money $ 32 bucks hourly with full cover healthcare. Untouchable. My buddies found an abandoned house...surrounded by blackberry bushes hidden away. A rich man's house probably empty for 70 years or more by what antiques found inside. We pilfered the rotting house of furnishings. I furnished my Cabin with Persian rugs, antique furniture and tapestries. The tapestries were sublime. Ok...I'm bragging. Ya so what, the truth is truth. The story must be told , I cannot tell my son, him being straight-laced lawman, ya. My one failure. I digress. With a New Day Yesterday playing and a reefer lit and a pint of budwieser id kick back ...so cool ... a stunningly beautiful wife, with the bluest eyes this side of Neptune, the gods were benevolent. Truly indescribable when young...the sensuality is powerful. I consider myself blessed to have lived this life. AND thrive, my way, during the u.s.a. Golden years. The union years of u.s.a. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1938 - 1979 Godammit what a cesspool now. ANYWAYS Jethro Tull was in Seattle,1970, 1971, 72, and I'm here to tell you what a show. I'm 69 now and in my top ten albums, STAND UP & BENEFIT by JETHRO TULL. Surely the very best of the best.
One of the most underrated bands of that and all eras. Intellectually demanding, lyrically beautiful, expressive excellent musical chops- individually and as a group. Strong lead instruments, flute, guitars and piano. Yet without the superb rhythm section it would be nothing. A great ensemble, great song thanks for existing JT. In the early 2000,s I was at a family friends funeral close to Atlantic City NJ. While people I hardly knew grieved I snuck out to Trumps (?) Casino I think and caught a set of Jethro Tull. What a hoot The Band with the jangle of a casino vibing under this great performace- unforgettable. My wife is still pissed she decided not to go, like it was my fault she wanted to sit with old women dressed in black. I sat with rockers dressed in black, Ha ha!
@@gogoyubari366 Brilliant as they are on recordings and live they, (my opinion) seem to float in the backwaters of total recognition. Having followed the artistic expression in conceit and on recordings they deserve so much more!
I saw them in the 70's.. I recently watched a youtube of a classically trained flutist watching on his older performances. She was impressed with what he was doing with the flute. Things she'd never seen done. In the end, she was impressed (and liked the performance!).
Just had the pleasure of seeing Martin a couple of weeks ago. He did an acoustic show with his new band. Over the course of the show he played guitar, mandolin and, yes, the flute. Absolutely killed it at the age of 70. If you do the math Martin Lancelot Barre was 15 when he joined Tull. He was 17 at the time of this Isle of White show.
No one, other than Ian Anderson, can make a flute become a other-worldly being: Shrieking, pleading, whispering, whimpering, laughing, telling a story of a Neverland.
He's an absolute genius I I bow down in humility. He's a rock and roll god. That goes for everyone in the band. You don't get that endorsement very easily for me
Jethro Tull were at the top of their field in this video. That era produced the greatest bands to ever exist as well. The Beatles Jethro Tull The Rolling Stones Led Zeppelin Black Sabbath The Moody Blues Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix The Doors The Guess Who The Who Grand Funk The Monkees Etc. NOTHING LIKE THAT EXISTS TODAY. ZERO! Jethro Tull
My favorite band . Ian Anderson proved to be a genius musician. Clive Bunker was an exceptional drummer and I always loved the sound of Martin on the guitar.
Must have listened to this at least 200 times! Never tire of it. Ground breaking... never been another band like Tull, nor another frontman like Ian Anderson! Awesome stuff!!!
@@robschultz7 naah! i think those are one of the weaker Lyrics by JT. My God is a superb one. But the musicallity from "We Used to Know" makes my heart beats faster! hahahahha The Flute and guitar solos, plus the bass line....
This has to be one of the greatest live concerts of all time. I too, was born way too late, but that doesn't stop me enjoying this fantastic recording now. Thanks for sharing. 🤟
L'époque des grands groupes de rock,puissance ,rythme,virtuosité,Jethro Tull fait partie des plus grands incontestablement,que j'ai découvert quand j'étais ado,c'était mes dieux,époque où les peu nombreuses radios vomissaient du Cloclo,Johny H.Tout n'était pas rose,mais aller à un concert c'était un événement attendu ,car peu nombreux,regardez le public,il écoute avec religiosité et admiration,pas de smartphone,de gens qui hurlent ,picolent,bouffent,etc...une époque que pour certaines choses je regrette
I was nicknmed "tully" at school as I prefered this band to the Mowtown all the others listened to. that was in the 70's watched them at empire pool wembley uk same year. now 63cand love tull and this incarnation long live and godbless those absent. J.C R.I.P.
Became a severe Fan in 71' I have loved Tull ever since. Lost count of their concerts I have been to. My favorite Band of all time. I went from the Beatles straight to Jethro Tull.
Stupenda canzone cantata e suonata dai bravissimi fantastici Jethro tull guidati dal grandissimo Ian Anderson grandissimo chitarrista flautista carisma presenza sul palco formidabile affiancato dai bravissimi fantastici musicisti grazie tantissimo per le bellissime emozioni che ci avete donato con le vostre splendide performance visti live a Roma molti anni fa thank you so much dear Ian Anderson you are wonderful
Listening to them live like this, it is obvious these gents spent thousands of hours practicing, & perfecting their music. They're so tight, in time with each other, & sound better live than 94.7% of all other bands do in the studio!
@haskellbob HHhhhhmmmmmm, yes. You might be on to something here good fellow. Perhaps a reaclaculation, & the addition of a 2nd Klipsch subwoofer on the other side of my couch is in order. Alas, good music is abound!
And a time I'm glad my parents were pro-life and I was alive to experience this once in the history of mankind this magical time! thank god, my mom and dad!
Happened to me two years earlier, at the L.A. Forum. I was blown away and never saw the world the same after that! The yearly Forum gigs were pilgrimages for me, to something utterly beyond the limits of the world I was contending with. I would even say it was a religious thing for me; Ian and Jethro Tull were channels for the numinous and the sacred, for me.
I was there for 3 nights and Jethro Tull were one of the highlights along with the great Jimi Hendrix for me! It is truly wonderful that Ian Anderson is still playing great music, many thanks to all four original members.
Will always be the quintessential lineup in my eyes. Not that the other lineups weren't great or that the misic they put out wasn't outstanding, but this was Jethro Tull. PERIOD.
I hear you. I like the intersection era from here to Aqualung/TTAB ... everything after that is pretty much the Ian Anderson, which is great, but it's not really Jethro Tull in terms of energy and creativity. And what there is out there today is ... I don't even want to say it.
@@justgivemethetruth In the beginning albums all of it was Ian. Watch the interviews with Martin Barre. He explains how Ian did it all and took the group the way he wanted it to go. On later lp's everyone pitched in and created the songs. The band wrote the lyrics and put the music together in the studio practices.
@@tomp.6239 Glenn was a good player no doubt but I never really liked his whole "flower child" image, I didn't think it really fit the bands image (neither did Ian apparently).
He doesn't like Hippies? DAMN man,I didn't know that, I always thought he would cause the way he and the band dressed, I am 55 and me and ALL my Hippie friends used to groove to his MUSIC, I guess ya learn something new EVERY DAY and I am not being sarcastic, Man I honestly didn't know that 🤔✌🎶🎵🎼💜❣
Ungodly 1st 5 LPs rival any band . One of the Best Live acts ! I witnessed 1st 10 tours and I was luck to see 25th Anniversary concert at the long gone Irvine Meadows . Love the Banter by Ian Anderson , rockin the flute and facial expressions priceless . Martin Barre is Blow mind ! 💣! Tull stood the test of time ⏳🕰
So Unreal and after all of these years when I go back and look at Martin Barre, Glenn Cornick, and John Evans, I mean like I am speechless. I saw Tull so many times between '69 and '74 when I was so in Love with them. I am so, so glad that I had the opportunity to do that. I have seen Ian in the last few years and his voice is gone but he still tries to put on a show with substitutions on voice but whatever it is and wil l be, I will LOVE them and HIM forever!!!
This was the so song that made me fall in LOVE with Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson as a 5year old little girl,listening to my uncle who was 16 playing his albums ✌🎶🎵🎼👍😁🙂💜❣😎
Best compliment I ever got, Tampa FL, 1971, fourteen yrs. young -- "Man, you look like the Aqualung cover," referring to my growing good crop of auburn, disheveled, naturally.
Jethro Tull - "Stand Up (LP)" This was the first time I ever listened to Jethro Tull. Just incredible! Then I listened to "This Was". I have both albums and will only give them up when I die. ... oh yeah, I'm keeping my "Thick As a Brick" album also.
I saw Tull 4 times in the 70s at COBO in Detroit and was never disappointed. Out of the many concerts i've seen, JT wins hands down. And for that , i thank you. Peace
Thank you Ian, Thank you to all those great musicians in Tull, thanks for all these different influences and phases! One of these Rockbands who will stay forever, I`ll take it the Grave
We used to know will be played at the end of my funeral. The guitar solo makes me cry to this day. Utter magic, Mr Barre. Heard this on Nice enough To Eat, the Island sampler, when I was 10. Phenomenal.
In the 70s I had a little group in Detroit, and since I play flute, we did a few Tull covers. "We Used to Know" was one of them, and we ALWAYS closed the show with "For a Thousand Mothers." I saw the Aqualung show at Cobo Hall in Detroit, and really it was about the most perfect rock show I ever attended.
LOL, I remember seeing the Mike Douglas show on TV in the mid-seventies I think it was. The guess was Helen Gurly Brown, who I think was the editor of Cosmo or some women's magazine. She was talking about romance and one of the elements was music. She said, you want smooth romantic music for making love ... not anything like Jethro Tull ... something you can hum??? Jethro Tull being relative obscure at the time, especially to the Mike Douglas show audience, that remark had me in stitches and I still remember it. And I thought it was funny because one of the thing that stood out about Tull is how hummable some of their musical themes were. I would find myself doing something, walking, running, whatever, and a Tull melody would come to mind a lot of times.
@@noriegajose OK whatever. Even Bonham said Barriemore was the best. He actually used his double bass drums frequently unlike Peart who seemed to only occasionally use the other bass drum. The man was and is a monster.
This performance is over 50 yrs ago and this is still great music. They wrote quite a band. I got turned on to them with Aqualung album at 10 yrs old and am still a fan
Interesting observation: In the beginning of this video Ian Anderson says' "This song is the last one and it's going to be a bit long for the promoter, he wants us to hurry up and get it over with or something like that". Then at .24 seconds in the camera shows a dorky lanky guy poking his pin sized head up like a turkey looking over a log. That must be the promoter Ian is referring to.
I’m so old I remember Glenn Cornick on bass and Clive Bunker on drums. Never saw Mick Abrams on lead guitar though. The band has had some outstanding musicians over the years. First heard them on Stand Up, then bought Benefit and then kept on going.
Thinking back to those amazing few days, this set by JT was probably the most powerful music of the whole festival - I stayed for the whole lot - and many of the "bigger" bands ( particularly The Doors and The Who) were disappointing. This though was incredible....show stealer.
Second concert I ever saw was Tull, same year as this ... October 1970 at Los Angeles Forum. Missed only a few shows over the years. Always a great show.
You don’t see Martin Barre on anyone’s top 10 guitarist lists but he’s fully deserving of a spot. That tone!
Amen to that! - one of my favourite guitarists of all time - and completely unique. For some reason, Martin was rarely given the opportunity to play his full solo from "We Used To Know" - which for me was probably his best studio solo ever! Yes, I know his work on "Aqualung" was truly brilliant - and rightly highly praised -but i just adore the both solos on WUTK.
He was in my top 3 influences when I was 19. Alex Lifeson, Marvin Barre and Jimmy Page in that order at the time.
Exactly 💯
I have so many. But, Martin is in there.
Barre kicked ass on Metallica and won the heavy metal battle hands down, Metallica is great, but, Barre is another level .
The best Jethro Tull from 1968 to 1972.
When Glenn Cornick was kicked out the band never sounded the same.
The best of times.
I thank the Lord I was alive during that time
Totally agree. Cornick and Bunker were Tull’s backbone
I agree. Ian never had another bassist as good as Glenn.
Disagree! Never the same since Martin Barre left!
Martin Barre is a guitar player. Glenn Cornick was a bass player. We are discussing bass players here. My opinion is that Jethro Tull from 1968 to 1972 were amongst the greatest bands to ever exist.@@ironhorse1962

8 or 9 times in concert throughout the seventies. Can't remember all the cities and states
There was much rejoicing and a good time was had by all 👍💯✌️🖖😎
I'm American, many outstanding drummers here; but Clive Bunker is just killer; least, I always thought so.
@@tomp.6239 Dharma for one prime example. Clive kills it! 💯👍🏻✌️🌊🖖

Surely the very best of the best.
GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY!! MY OPIPNION FOR "SONG OF JEFFREY,!! 3:01
In a league all of their own . I got into them in 1977 and never got out of them. Ian Anderson an underrated acoustic guitarist.
You got that right.
Saw them 3 times in Melbourne. Amazing! Great music and great show. I love We Used to Know....reminds me of all the great heavy music of the time.
I grew up following the bands of the 60s and 70s. Tull outshines the lot and that includes Beatles, Hendrix, Stones and Cream
Tull at his pinnacle of greatness
He still plays but has no wind left in his voice
I'm 40 and this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND. My parents raised me right ❤ got Tix to 3 shows . Can't wait for Riverbend though!!!

@@gogoyubari366 Brilliant as they are on recordings and live they, (my opinion) seem to float in the backwaters of total recognition. Having followed the artistic expression in conceit and on recordings they deserve so much more!
They're underrated because they don't get the love and press that Zeppelin or the Who get. Tull can be a bit 2 heady for some ears.
Agree in part.
Underrated, is an overrated word for those who have no original thoughts of their own.
Stop this BS.
Just enjoy the magic world of JT.
I saw them in the 70's.. I recently watched a youtube of a classically trained flutist watching on his older performances. She was impressed with what he was doing with the flute. Things she'd never seen done. In the end, she was impressed (and liked the performance!).
All the iterations were great, but the Anderson, Barre, Bunker, Cornick will always be my favorite. Newcomers should listen to Tull chronologically.
Why does everybody leave out John Evan ? Key Boards get no love I guess.
So true
No idea great fingers
Why nobody ever mentions Barre when they are arguing about rock's greatest players is incomprehensible.
Those in the know... Such a solid cut
Martin has a way of making his guitar bark at you. Always tuneful and melodic and can really get that hard Rock sound.
It’s because he always played for the song rather than taking a solo spotlight. Ian has that position in Jethro Tull 😊
Because he's not.
Just had the pleasure of seeing Martin a couple of weeks ago.
He did an acoustic show with his new band. Over the course of the show he played guitar, mandolin and, yes, the flute. Absolutely killed it at the age of 70.

fantastic 50+ years!
Clive Bunker is a tremendously good drummer.
One of the best kick ass drummers .a favorite of mine along with anysley dunbar.too much to say I leave it for another day....
alan may Yes 😐 🦆
Oh Yes indeed.
One of the best
So underrated!!!!! Not just the songs but his stories in his drum solos!!!!!
What a true KILLER‼️
No one, other than Ian Anderson, can make a flute become a other-worldly being: Shrieking, pleading, whispering, whimpering, laughing, telling a story of a Neverland.
Ah... Roland Kirk.
His main influence.
Ian himself was other-worldly. His flute was a channel for the sacred. I like your comment, and agree.
Only person he envied was galway
James Galway I think
Martin Barre is an outstanding guitarist.
He's an absolute genius I I bow down in humility.
He's a rock and roll god. That goes for everyone in the band.
You don't get that endorsement very easily for me

OK ... understandable mistake.
Aye wy that's just it Alex you found utopia and that's Ganna stay with ya the rest of ya natch 😂😂well done and ATB

5 years old? Wow, you sound like a genius or something...:)
This is Stand up..
What a band
Nothing more to do when you rock like that
The bassist is thunder holy bleep
Best compliment I ever got, Tampa FL, 1971, fourteen yrs. young -- "Man, you look like the Aqualung cover," referring to my growing good crop of auburn, disheveled, naturally.
are you going bald now??
That is a good one. I looked more like the Songs from the Wood dude. Still do, make you feel much better
Whoever the hell posted this. THANK YOU! From a Thousand Mothers!
With Glenn on Bass, the Best Jethro Tull Formatione ever❤
Totally agree
Jethro Tull - "Stand Up (LP)" This was the first time I ever listened to Jethro Tull. Just incredible! Then I listened to "This Was". I have both albums and will only give them up when I die. ... oh yeah, I'm keeping my "Thick As a Brick" album also.
I saw Tull 4 times in the 70s at COBO in Detroit and was never disappointed. Out of the many concerts i've seen, JT wins hands down. And for that , i thank you. Peace
Omg good yes! Good old combo hall! I was there. Magical times
One of the only if not the only band that was better live then on the record. And the records were great.
This was before they got really commercialized, fresh, young, and strong, put on the map for all to see!!!!
I've been into Tull from the early 70s. I've never regarded then as ever becoming commercialised. Yes, I know they appear on Supersonic!
Killer bending/tone by Mr. Barre. Drumming is superb, as everything else really
Thank you Ian, Thank you to all those great musicians in Tull, thanks for all these different influences and phases! One of these Rockbands who will stay forever, I`ll take it the Grave
We used to know will be played at the end of my funeral. The guitar solo makes me cry to this day. Utter magic, Mr Barre. Heard this on Nice enough To Eat, the Island sampler, when I was 10. Phenomenal.
@Andrzej Nah tah ni Dąbrowski 👍❤👍
Absolutely one of the greatest.period.
In the 70s I had a little group in Detroit, and since I play flute, we did a few Tull covers. "We Used to Know" was one of them, and we ALWAYS closed the show with "For a Thousand Mothers."
I saw the Aqualung show at Cobo Hall in Detroit, and really it was about the most perfect rock show I ever attended.
Unbelievable, saw them at Nottingham Boat Club, 1968? still good now!
15 years before my birth. I need a time machine.
Listening it all comes flowing back............. from the dayz of trust belief the future shall be great we will overcome.....
Remember this like it was yesterday! It was a mere fifty years ago this month.
Love Tull from the first time I heard them some were in the early seventies. You either love them or you don't.
LOL, I remember seeing the Mike Douglas show on TV in the mid-seventies I think it was. The guess was Helen Gurly Brown, who I think was the editor of Cosmo or some women's magazine. She was talking about romance and one of the elements was music. She said, you want smooth romantic music for making love ... not anything like Jethro Tull ... something you can hum???
Jethro Tull being relative obscure at the time, especially to the Mike Douglas show audience, that remark had me in stitches and I still remember it. And I thought it was funny because one of the thing that stood out about Tull is how hummable some of their musical themes were. I would find myself doing something, walking, running, whatever, and a Tull melody would come to mind a lot of times.
Loved, loved ‘em... class of ‘76
Tull had the best drummers of the 60's and 70's..
peart, bonham, moon, brudford, collins, palmer, paige, mitchell, baker ... never played with jethro tull
@@noriegajose OK whatever. Even Bonham said Barriemore was the best. He actually used his double bass drums frequently unlike Peart who seemed to only occasionally use the other bass drum. The man was and is a monster.
This performance is over 50 yrs ago and this is still great music. They wrote quite a band. I got turned on to them with Aqualung album at 10 yrs old and am still a fan
Sitting here on the corner of the table, having a coffee, I remembered the first time I heard this song. I wondered, how did they do it so simply.
Kind of like Secretariat - give them a place to run, let them go, and prepare to be blown away by the power and beauty.
Clive Bunker.........best Tull drummer ever! This was also the best line up.........in my opinion.........X
chocolatecowmusic yes. The best lineup!
Right. I always thought it's the right combination with Cornick and Bunker and... no keyboards. Stand up and Benefit are my favorite.
Best line up for sure.
@@fredericfournier9637 There are keys here...also Evans plays on Benefit.
They didnt set the bar , they were the bar.
I've long thought that the Eagles couldn't be able to compose such a sorrowful melody.Eagles is a group of Take it easy, peaceful easy feeling.
I miss the old band. But still, love all of the music.
Clive Bunker is such a beast in this footage!
Thank you for finding these old films!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most underrated rock bands...all great misicians & great performance
Their studio tapings must've been a breeze!! They're so friggin tight live!!
The best song of Jethro tull ever !!!
Tull was just so tight and so kickass and so freaking good! Loved this!
Interesting observation: In the beginning of this video Ian Anderson says' "This song is the last one and it's going to be a bit long for the promoter, he wants us to hurry up and get it over with or something like that". Then at .24 seconds in the camera shows a dorky lanky guy poking his pin sized head up like a turkey looking over a log. That must be the promoter Ian is referring to.
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull genius, pure genius. Just gorgeous.
This is not underrrated band.JT is the pure évolution in music rock or whatever you call it...pure talented musicians...
that sounds so good live. We Used To Know should've been released
When rockstars were stars. Thanks
Jethro Tull
One of the greatest bands from 1968 to 1972
Thank you
They were great long after 1972
I’m so old I remember Glenn Cornick on bass and Clive Bunker on drums. Never saw Mick Abrams on lead guitar though. The band has had some outstanding musicians over the years. First heard them on Stand Up, then bought Benefit and then kept on going.
Thinking back to those amazing few days, this set by JT was probably the most powerful music of the whole festival - I stayed for the whole lot - and many of the "bigger" bands ( particularly The Doors and The Who) were disappointing. This though was incredible....show stealer.
JT is probably the best band ever
The best line up of Tull, as far as I`m concerned.
Saw them at the Anaheim Stadium in the 70’s. Fantastic.
A whopping $15 per ticket.
We Used To Know, probably my favourite ever Tull track...
Incredible performance! J.Tull is huge! Thank you for all the moments of enjoyment and comfort!
Welcome to the Hotull Tullifornia.
Second concert I ever saw was Tull, same year as this ... October 1970 at Los Angeles Forum. Missed only a few shows over the years. Always a great show.
обалденное исполнение! Иэн Андерсон гений рока
Un tornado musical;!! Increíble tanto talento y energía juntas!! Asombrosos y geniales!! 😊❤️👍
Posiblemente la banda de más perfil bajo en la historia del rock. Unos genios, Jethro.
@@diegocobo8 así es lastima que como banda no tuvieron la más grande repercusión que otras bandas si tuvieron
