Ian Anderson is on another level than most, his mastery of music is absolutely phenomenal. He has written so many amazing songs and albums over the years.
Barrie Barlow is an amazing drummer. Barrie, BJ Wilson (Procol Harum), and Gerry Conway (Cat Stevens Band) were all underrated, and incredibly creative drummers. Thay added so much to their respective bands.
“I admire Paul McCartney and Ian Anderson. Especially Ian Anderson, his songs are just beyond me. They’re beyond the public, by the way he sells to them. If you lived in America you would be suprised because he draws as many (people) as Led Zeppelin and all the rest. An excellent artist on stage in every way. But his writing is something that never ceases to amaze me, brilliant." - Ritchie Blackmore
I like how this song time travels musically from a minstrel traveling to some ancient location to perform and how it flops into present day with a siren-sounding guitar and a modern band doing essentially still what that minstrel was doing.
Awesome observation and insight. Some people see things that many won’t. I’d say Ian Anderson and band did this by design they are masters of their craft and the sophistication of their music is top tier in my opinion. Absolutely amazing!
Recurring themes, with some of the finest performances of the Classic Era. It’s also a true concept album, that rarely gets mentioned properly for it’s brilliance.
Drummer: Barriemore Barlow. Fantastic drummer. Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham called Barlow "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced." Minstrel in the Gallery gets very heavy and rocks hard. Recommend Aqualung - their "breakthrough" album with several hard rocking cuts. Also shoutout to guitarist Martin Barre who is in his typical volcanic form on this cut and for 50 years has been quietly one of the most influential rock guitarists still out there playing.
Saw Tull 3 times in the 70s...front row once...almost like a Gallagher show, Ian dancing, sweat flying out over & on my head...spewing spittle as he SHREDDED on the flute...electric guitars as heavy as Black Sabbath or Led Zep or ANYone else. God I'd give all I've got to go back in time for a single Tull concert. As with anything else, you dont know what you've got untull it's gone...
Jethro Tull definitely rewards repeated listening. So many good musicians doing so much! The more I listened to this the more impressed I got with the drumming of Barriemore Barlow.
Thanks for the great request Uncle Phil. Jethro Tull has been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard Ian’s voice intermittently laced with his beautiful flute solos. I just love it. Great feedback from Harri too 🌺✌️
AWWWWWWW YESSSS, YOU LOVE YOU SOME TULL HUH??? 😊 AS SOON AS I SAW THE ALBUM COVER I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE THE ORIGINAL HARRI, OHHHHH YEAH! 😊 DIAMONDS AND RUBYS BABY!
Minstrel in the Gallery is a fantastic album all-around. I suppose it might require a “Tull Fan” to appreciate it fully but for me it is one of their very best. Right up there with Aqualung and Thick as a Brick…. maybe even better in some ways.
Been a Tull fan for 54 years! One of my top 5 bands! Great reaction to an amazing song.....Minstrel is a fantastic album.....listen to Baker Street Muse.....you will be knocked out guaranteed.......
Thanks Harri for reacting to one of my favorite groups. Ian Anderson and the band are absolutely amazing live. I don't know if they're still touring but if you ever get a chance to see them, don't pass it up.
Ian Anderson is one of the greatest most skilled musicians, composers and writers of music of all times. That’s my opinion anyways. I absolutely love all his works.
This album is fire, any Tull in the late 60s and 70s is absolute gold and it is insanity that they Still are Not in the RR HoF, how crazy is that?!? If you want some of his best flute tunes, try With You There to Help Me or My God, Ian Anderson amazes in both! Enjoy. ,🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Reincarnated musical bards. That’s what they are. Awesome! Ian Anderson lives up in Scotland on his North Atlantic Salmon farm. Love this guy! Love Jethro Tull! Have since way back when…❤
Jethro Tull is always in my top 3 favorite bands, and usually #1 (I change my mind depending on my mood every now and then). I got to see them in 1979, it was probably my all-time best concert. They played a shortened version of Minstrel in the Gallery, which disappointed me a little, as this is one of their best songs for me, but they did so many other great songs that show, it more than made up for it.
Jethro Tull is one of my favorites, and since they always deliver, JT reactions also deliver. Minstrel in the Gallery was their Mid-70's sound. Perhaps a little more rocking then the more blues driving earlier stuff. Late 70's they turned into folk-rock masters, which is my favorite Tull era.
Martin Barre guitar work aling with Barlow's drums carry this album. My favorite is COLD WIND TO VALHALLA because you wonder why Martin Barre is so underappreciated by the music critics His eork on Cold Wind is jaw dropping!!! 🎸🎶🎵
Uncle Phil - I have always enjoyed Jethro Tull, and they were a mainstay spinning on my turntable back then. Ian Anderson is a tour de force composer, performer, and songwriter. "Thick As A Brick" is my favorite album of theirs. Harri, your review was quite enjoyable. Bravo to both of you!
The last seconds, when it's fading out and you realize "... WTF are that two cowbells??" 😳... You hear that awesome "clubbing" seconds after the actual end of that Song. "Minstrel" is a quite special Album in Tulls discography.
One of their best, and they had dozens of great songs! The whole album is fantastic. I know some people are put off by the beginning minstrel section, and, when performed live in subsequent years it was shortened, in order to get rocking quicker.
Absolutely spot on with your analysis - great to see lots of new people to Jethro Tull now getting into their music which up to 1981 was largely truly fantastic. So much more wonderful Jethro Tull to discover. Aqualung, Thick As A Brick and Songs From the Woods are particularly sublime.
Minstrel In The Gallery is my favorite Tull album. It's definitely the hardest rocking album in their discography and (arguably) their most progressive. Guitarist Martin Barre was unleashed on this album to great effect. And yes, Harry, this song and the album proper are growers in that it takes several exposures to get it all.
It's been a long journey for me with this band. It started when I was 7 years old and all I knew of them was Bungle in the Jungle because it was a top 40 radio song at the time. Sometime between then and 1979 I was aware of Aqualung and Locomotive Breath because I recognized them when I bought my first album, Live Bursting Out in the bargain bin at Zayres based on recognition of the band name and memories of "Bungle" from years earlier (which turned out to not even be on the live album). But I fell in love with the entire album particularly because of Barrimore Barlow's drumming since I had started learning the drums. From there on, it was a slow process of learning more of their music over the years and particularly accelerated in recent years with streaming music services giving access to all their albums. Songs from the Wood was a particular catylist and the rest of those mid 70s prog albums have become favorites. Most recently, A Passion Play which I somehow looked over has become my favorite. Minstral is definitely another favorite!
Your discovery of Jethro Tull is similar to mine. I first heard them on AM radio in my car in 1974, same as you, it was Bungle in the Jungle. Most of us had no FM in the car in those days, and that was my main source of music at the time. I was curious what else this guy "Jethro Tull" lol had done, and I bought one of their albums, and was amazed by the genius of Ian Anderson. I bought every album of theirs that I could find over the next several years. I like all of their stuff from the late 60's through the 70's, but not so much after that. You picked a great album to start off with! Every track on "Bursting Out Live" is gold.
@@rodjohnson2632 I may have thought Jethro Tull was the actual name of an individual too but it's so long ago that I don't remember. I do remember however that when I first heard either Dream On or Walk This Way on the radio, I thought they said it was by Earl Smith. :)
In this song I could also here other Jethro Tull songs ie: Aqualung, Bungle in the Jungle, Living in the past. Parts of it reminded me of these songs ☺
“That guy who plays the flute” is Ian Anderson and also plays the acoustic guitar. He has written all of the Tull music and lyrics, well over 300 songs, while being arguably the greatest front man in rock history.
Harri, I have doubts that you would even "entertain the idea" of "Reacting to" Jethro Tull's: "Thick as a Brick" (it was very nearly all 4× tracks, of an "8-track tape"...) BUT, if you liked the way they "change up", during this, I bet you'd really enjoy listening to it sometime, if you haven't (¿Or even if you HAVE?) ... I think I'll go listen to it, after this song is done!!! (Thanks for posting this!)
When "TaaB" broke, I ran out and bought it. Until then, my buddy had the LP. I borrowed It and played it on my sister's chincey little record player. I had the lyrics memorized. Who's Fluffy the Duck talking about this week?
Glad you gave the drummer, Barry Barlow, a well deserved shout out., Often overlooked, but in that era he had as much to do as anyone else in tulls unique sound. I can't imagine albums like brick, passion play, minstrel with any other drummer.
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", "Locomotive Breath", "Aqualung", "Living In The Past", "Songs From The Wood", "A New Day Yesterday", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Sweet Dream", "Life’s A Long Song" etc."
Brilliant you played this Harri. Baker St Muse, twice as long as Minstrel, is another incredible tour de force on the same album. Many think of Aqualung as one of Tull's best. Not for me. So many better albums. Like this one.
Jethro Tull was a very eclectic band. They were an incredibly unique combination of old Celtic Folk, Rock, Soft Rock, Progressive Rock and Hard Rock that was near-Metal at times. (Their original lead guitarist was none other than Tony Iommi himself.) Jethro Tull could pretty-much do it all. DEFINITELY check-out their big 1987 comeback album _Crest Of A Knave_ which was influenced by Dire Straits, in particular the incredible "Farm On The Freeway."
THEY STARTED UP IN ( 67 ) JUST LIKE ( DEEP PURPLE ) HARRI, THIS IS THE TITLE TRACK FROM THEIR ( 74 ) ALBUM 😊 IT DOESN'T GET ANYYYYY BETTER IN PROG ROCK WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TULL , KANSAS, RUSH, AND THERE'S OTHERS TULL RIGHT AT THE TOP MY FRIEND! 😊 MARTIN BARRE & BARRIEMORE BARLOW, INSANE BAND GUYS HARRI YES HARRI , AND YES THAT'S ( IAN ANDERSON ) 💯
Thank you Harry,it´s been such a long while without hearing this song.I bought this LP in the 70es and since my turntable broke and was replaced for a CD player years ago I haven´t had the chance to listen to it.The whole recording was great and songs like One white duck on your wall or Baker Street muse are fantastic
Ha you think like I do Harri -- I always thought of this song as a Bard standing before a feasting audience in the dim candlelight earning his bread and bed on a winter night --- the second part is being pulled throughout time and ending up being a band singing the same song with a modern twist to the same gathering of diverse people enjoying the show
Jethro Tull actually won the Grammy award of Best hard rock / metal performance for 1989 beating Metallica! OK, all involved was surprised, but it is a fact! Seeing Jethro Tull was half of the fun (at least in the 70s-80s). There are at least two - very different clips of this song, both very entertaining.
They could always rock hard, but I'd say there always was an important folk or folk/rock element to their music, from Stand Up onward. On Aqualung, there is four acoustic tracks, plus the long acoustic intro to My God and the middle section of the title track, which overall makes it a good candidate for a folk-rock album. I always thought of Minstrel as Ian Anderson's first solo album in a way, because of all the acoustic stuff on it. What's new in the late 70's is the celtic element. Songs From the Wood/Heavy Horses may be their best period, or at least, on a par with their early 70's classics.
When I first heard the song I thought it was the guitar that made it stand out and it was “heavier than Aqualung. So please check out the catalog. One of the best songs featuring Martin Barre’s guitar is Pibroch from the Songs from the Wood album 1977 and I think you will really like it. I look forward to seeing you listen to this song
Your Music Mirrors Your Mind Song suggestion : User Friendly Band /Artist: Ian Anderson Album: Fly By Night This and the title track are excellent examples demonstrating Ian's solo efforts
Ian Anderson is on another level than most, his mastery of music is absolutely phenomenal. He has written so many amazing songs and albums over the years.
Thank you, you are absolutely right. Wonderful, so varied and rich. Jethro Tull is the Wagner of rock music.
Thanks for the great reaction, Harri, and for the great suggestion, Uncle Phil. It's hard to go wrong with Jethro Tull.
Barrie Barlow is an amazing drummer. Barrie, BJ Wilson (Procol Harum), and Gerry Conway (Cat Stevens Band) were all underrated, and incredibly creative drummers. Thay added so much to their respective bands.
Gerry conway played drums with Jethro Tull for a while
@@stevematthews641 Yes he did! He played with a lot of great people. My favorite example of his drumming is on the song Whistlestar by Cat Stevens.

Barlow is in a class all by himself that is for certain.
True genius, Tull is the master of rock and classical.
Just one great song on possibly Tull's greatest album - it kicks ass!
Yes! Bring the Jethro Tull anytime!
Thanks for the great request Uncle Phil. Jethro Tull has been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard Ian’s voice intermittently laced with his beautiful flute solos. I just love it. Great feedback from Harri too 🌺✌️

One of their best (song and album). Their last great one too. Ian Anderson was quite angry that year and it was good for his music.
Killer song during a heavier period.

That sound Martin Barre gets on his guitar is awesome. That is a Hard Rock adventure.
this is my favorite Jethro Tull album. You should listen to the epic Baker Street Muse. Fantastic!!
Baker Street muse on the minstrel in the gallery album is flawless. Perfection
Brilliant you played this Harri. Baker St Muse, twice as long as Minstrel, is another incredible tour de force on the same album. Many think of Aqualung as one of Tull's best. Not for me. So many better albums. Like this one.
No one ever mentions Baker St Muse, but I think it's one of Tull's greatest songs.

This is one of their heaviest songs, along with Hunting Girl and Jump Start.

Simplemente…BARRIEMORE BARLOW!!!
I think I could listen to Ian Anderson sing the phone book. Just a unique way of singing.
Always been one of my favorite JT tunes! Thanks for the reaction!✌
It's a rollicking musical adventure. I love Martin's burst guitar on this. The most iconic Jethro Tull song of all, IMO.
One of my "stranded on an island" bands
Saved me exhuming this from my dusty vinyl archive. Sounds like a description of Fox News now
Love, love, love Jethro Tull. 🙂
He is the minstral the court jester of rock n roll, and apparently one with one of the highest I Q's as well. Sheer genius.
This ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around. This is prog-rock! Master musicians playing music for the ages. Welcome to the inner circle.
thunder on the drums......NICE

Awesome reaction as always bro!
One of the most complext songs they ever made! Fantastic rock prog! Excellent! 😉👍
One of Ian's best Post TaaB song.
Hi Harri, you should check out BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST tracks For No One, Crazy City, Mockingbird, there's so much more... All the best Harri
❤love tha Tull, hi Harri.... That "scarf" looks expensive 👀😜🥂♥️🇿🇦
IMHO Minstrel in the Gallery and Aqualung are Jethro Tull's best albums by far.
Dude, take a listen to Tull's "This Was" album, the hole thing, it's awesome

You need to react to the whole album thick as a brick
When Will Someone Do A Rock Opera? Aqualung? Thick As A Brick? I imagine an old man living under the bridge 😂
awesome
Bad to the bone from a real genius! Tull has done some heavy stuff. But you're right! This may be their heaviest piece.
Ian Anderson wrote all the songs. I actually saw their concert during their heyday. And you’re right they’re brilliant. Check out there earlier music
Check out the live version, Harry from the early 70's.
Do early Tull, Song for Jeffrey! So dang bluesy!
There's heavy Rock by JT!
Please listen and react to to the live version of this song from the double live album Jethro Tull - Live Bursting Out. So much better in my opinion~
Ian Anderson wrote most of them.
Listen to Jethro Tull's STEEL MONKEY if you want to hear heavy rock.
Martin Barre is fantastic ....
Ian Anderson: The BEST, sorry, the GOAT frontman of all-time. Sorry Freddy, I love you but you're number two.
You should definitely listen to NF - How Could You Leave Us
