    I saw Jethro Tull live 3 times in the 70's. (I'm old) Live shows are always a blast to be there. One show was schudled for 3 hrs and they played for 4 hrs. They had a huge telephone on the stage that rang 3 times. One third of the way through, at halftime and before the final curtain call. First time, Ian stopped playing in the middle of the song, answered the phone and said "Wrong Number". Second time it rang as they were coming back to the stage after halftime. He answered, spoke into the phone, hung up and said "Mother!". Third time, before they came back out on the stage for the final curtain call. It rang again. He came out and answered it. He then held the phone receiver out to the audience and said "It's for you!" and the crowd went nuts.

    Jethro Tull are a British progressive rock band formed in 1967. The group’s founder Ian Anderson plays flute & acoustic guitar & is the lead singer & quite a showman. They've had a lot of different members over the years. They had a lot of great songs such as "Thick As A Brick", "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath", "Songs From The Wood", "A New Day Yesterday", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Sweet Dream", "Life’s A Long Song" etc.",

    Heya, Britt. Glad to see you over here on Jethro Tull. Tull's been around since 1967 & is still making new music. It's been my all-time favorite band since 1974, when I discovered them in full. I've never missed a local Tull concert since then. // You mention Ian's flute (front man Ian Anderson) & instrumentalists in general. Last time I heard anyone counting, Ian plays something like 30 instruments, including a few he invented (e.g. the claghorn, which if memory serves was a sax mouthpiece taped onto a flute body & was used in the Living in the Past album or at least in that era). // Van Gogh wowed the art world of his time by painting with a brand-new shade of green that he saw when he drank enormous amounts of coffee, & Tull wowed the rock world of the 1970s by publishing this song, which is composed in 5/4 time. *Nearly everything* was in 4/4 back then, & Tull was one of the leaders of progressive rock into the exotic time signatures you see from Tull, Zappa, Rush, & now from so many more, e.g. 9/8, 11/8, 13/8. // Ian's lyrics are some of the finest poetry on Earth, & I've long believed that his work will be among the poetry studied 400 years from now (assuming we haven't nuked ourselves all to death, or some such other horrible end). You mention this song being quirky & fun, which it is; Tull, though, runs the entire spectrum of types, including deadly-serious stuff that'll make you cry if you're not really careful. If you really get into Jethro Tull, buckle up, & buy some new socks, coz all the ones you own now will get knocked off clear to the moon. // Sadly, Ian is also an exceptionally sad case of a very good singer who totally wrecked his voice by singing unwisely. He went through a period about 20-25 years ago in which he could barely croak out a sound at all, & the relearned, rebuilt voice he sings in now, while functional, isn't the deep, rich, melodic voice of Tull's first 20-30 years as a band. To me personally, it was as if The Voice had just disappeared from the planet. Yeah, I'm kind of a Tull junkie -- but it's because I really do like *the best*. // If that dark, mysterious sound really grabs you, you can find it all over Tull's entire body of work -- the whole 56 years & counting -- but especially in one of the very early albums, _A Passion Play_. Tull is like Dimash, though, in that you'll find some of everything & something new at every turn. To see him performing now, at 75, with symphonic backing all over the world is especially rewarding for old Tullians like me. It's a kind of vindication, you might say, of our great love of all things Tullian in the first place. // Anyway, again, glad to see you over here on Jethro Tull. Cheers.

    I am really enjoying watching you discover Jethro Tull. Brings it all back for me. They were one of my main muses when I was in my late teens, and THE reason I (sorta) learned to play the flute. Check out some of their full-album pieces where the composition really needs to be heard in its entirety. You could do Thick as Brick, but all of it, not just the one song of that name. And Passion Play. Great stories and themes to discover there.

    As a multi-instrumentalist including playing trumpet, I appreciated your comments about wind instruments and singing. You should check out his flute work on their huge hit Locomotive Breath, it's really intense and it's in the middle of a rock song and he does all this guttural stuff while he's doing it, almost like he is beatboxing while simultaneously playing the flute. It is really cool. I actually prefer the studio version because his vocal phrasing isn't quite as exaggerated and the sound is more compact, but the live performance is really impressive as well.

    He actually wrote this song hoping it would fail. They were on tour and their manager kept pushing him to write a single. So he wrote this in 5/4 time, which listeners usually don't like, so that it would fail and the manager wouldn't ask him for singles any more. It became a radio hit.
    If you're impressed with his breath on this song, holy cow, you should see a live performance. Edit: Oh! You have! lol Congrats! :-)

The gas was meant for a few hundred fans stormed the gates, but it went right down to the stage and choked out the band instead. The show did not go on and after the teargas cleared Ian said he would never return to Red Rocks. It was about ten years later that they did return.( for twice the amount) That was one of the shows i went to.

    As you said Britt, what Ian Anderson does live takes a lot of technique and stamina, the guy is 75 now and still touring and releasing new albums. His generation of performers and musicians had long lasting creativity and masses of personality, you had to have something unique to stand out from the crowd. The band started in 1967 as a blues based outfit, but quickly developed into their own mix of rock, folk, jazz, and classical and they've been a big live act for decades and still filling stadiums. This song is very clever as it's a groove in 5/4 time (i.e. 5 beats to the bar, an usual pattern more associated with jazz music) with the emphasis on the 4th and 5th beats accented with the click of a pair of claves. Somehow, Ian and the band made the song rock, and you really don't notice how odd this beat is. Here you only got a small taste in the fade of Ian's remarkable flute soloing, please check out some live stuff like 'Locomotive breath' or 'Thick as a brick'.

Listened to this on AM radio as a ten year old when it was released. Seems like the art of music is being slowly destroyed by technology. Maybe I’m just getting old…

    Welcome to Jethro Tull. 😁. This sounds like the studio version so they are probably lip syncing. There are some really good live performances out there.

      Not true... Tull would often play to some of their basic tracks, like the orchestra, but play some parts live... Ian is singing and playing live!! You can hear it's not the studio take!!

    I just Love Your Jethro Comments, again - thay are so Cute and as "quirky" as the band, and they even bring Me a better understanding of my 40+ year old fascination with Jethro Tull. So, the Conclusion is simple: You must Marry Me since You clearly are my Soul Mate, haha! And - since I also play the Flute! Jessörriii! And have played Living in The Past a number of times! So Your next travel will be to Sweden where I will guide You around to the venues in Stockholm where Jethro Tull have performed. Bottom Line: I will take No for an Answer.

    The story I heard, in an interview with Ian Anderson on the radio, was that the record label in 1969 basically demanded that he write them a hit record. Ian, reluctant and annoyed to be bossed around like that, wrote "Living In the Past" in the rare 5/4 time, just to mess with their heads. It did become a hit, too. Maybe that was just a story and he was messing with my head. I don't care. I like it.

    I went to see them in Denver at a small auditorium and it was awesome. Sitting there waiting for them to come on stage, lights went down and... nothing for a couple minutes. Just enough to make us wonder what's going on and suddenly the three double doors at the back opened up with Ian Anderson standing in the middle and a couple band mates in each of the other two. Ian shouts out "HEY! Let's get in the mood for this s***!" Each had a big brown paper bag and as they walked down the aisles, they started throwing baggies of pot to the crowd. Everyone including them fired up for a few and they started playing... for 2 1/2 hours on a 1 hour ticket. It was easily one of the greatest experiences of my life. Right up there with seeing The Grateful Dead live in Candlestick Park... and that's saying something

    You are just barely scratching the surface of how fun and crazy Jethro Tull is. Ian Anderson, the lead singer and flutist. He is famous for playing the flute while standing on one leg like a stork! A little side note, there was a kid 2 years my junior that was from my hometown. His name was Mark Craney and he was Jethro Tulls drummer for a few years. Great guy but sadly was plagued with health issues and passed away way too young!

    Yes there's not many rock bands that incorporate the flute into there music. The band Kansas "Dust in the wind" is a great one. Marshall Tucker band "heard it in a love song" is another great song.

    Ian Anderson lead singer and flute player was asked why he chose the flute. He said well I started playing guitar, then Eric Clapton came around so I switched to flute. He did tell the real story at one time though. He said he needed a mic and had no money so he went and traded his guitar in for a mic, and he had enough money left over to buy a flute, so he bought a flute.

    This is not the studio version which has a more prominent guitar. The rhythm is buried which makes this version less powerful, but it's one of my favorites from this band. This song is also played in 5/4 time which gives that unusual amble forward. One of many classics from this great band.

    In 1980 Jethro Tull put out a double live album (on Vinyl ffs!) I think there might even be a video of the concert, It was recorded at a gig somewhere in Italy and it has to be a contender for the best live recording ever made, some of the tracks you have already reviewed, but there is so much more. I think you will be delighted by it,
    Oh yeh Its called"Bursting out", Enjoy!
