    Made me giggle out loud "Is he twirling a baton?" You're about to find out....lol. Ian Anderson is the best flutist to hit rock and roll IMHO. I wish you could have seen him perform in person, his facial expressions were epic! I was thinking the balloon likely came in contact with a joint. Party on! ☮️❤️🎶🎸🎶

      I have seen at least a couple of reactions from musicians who play the flute who were shocked that it didn't just fly into pieces when he was twirling it.
      Apparently, flutes are pretty easy to disassemble by just pulling them apart.

    Ian Anderson lead singer / lead flutist for Jethro Tull.. The only progressive rock band out of the 70's to have a lead flute. One of a kind and absolutely amazing!

    Ian Andersen and Jethro Tull are completely unique in music history. I've always considered them to be their own genre. Ian is one of the smartest and most professional people I've ever had the fortune to meet. They played the LA Coliseum on my birthday in 1976 and I was working with the sound crew. Journey and Rory Gallagher opened the show with awesome sets. It was quite a birthday!

    "Old Charlie stole the handle of the train it won't slow down." Paraphrasing a bit but "Old Charlie" is cocaine, & the "handle" is the dead man's bar that stops an old time train if the engineer is incapacitated. The song simply says coke will keep you in the fast lane & even when you WANT to stop- forget it. If you have rock star kind of cash you're gonne ride the train right off the tracks to your death. And "crawling down the corridor" is a cokehead looking for coke in the carpet. Popped the white dust filled balloon to symbolize coke too- that part you got dead on!

    songs that Ian Anderson never would.
    And of course both shows they played this tune it was phenomenal

    I saw them on this tour in 1982 in Boulder Co. John cougar opened for Jethro Tull, and he was fairly new, and was booed off stage. There was a big break, then Tull came on and blew us away... then The Who played... Great concert. Those were the days. Great reaction. Thank you 😊

    Tull was something never heard when they came out. Ian Anderson even said they had been thrown out of so many venues, they had to change their name many times. When they quit getting sh!tcanned and had a following, the name just happened to be Jethro Tull.

  • @lewismaddox4132

    Ian Anderson is the consummate frontman. Expert at both flute and guitar, unique and resounding vocals and more charisma than ten others on stage. You'd do well in hearing Tull's studio work as well because Ian wasn't only brilliant in what I previously stated. His compositions, lyrics and arrangements will bring tears to your eyes. What a gift he's been to my life for some 50 years. He's lifted my spirit from many a dark corner over, and over...

    Inside the balloon there was "talco" (talco in spanish I think is powder in English, but Im not sure). This is for avoid that the rubber sticks or adheres itself inside the balloon (excuse my English, Spanish is my native language).

  • @doomhunter697
    @doomhunter697 2 місяці тому +3

    I was at several Jethro Tull concerts in the 70s. The 'dust' in the balloons was just talc, used to make the balloon easier to inflate. Also, he did damage his voice in the 80s and can't hit those notes anymore.

Ian Anderson is still alive and touring with Jethro Tull, albeit a different line up from the clip you just reacted to.

    You should definitely do more Tull, very talented musicians, wonderful live shows...you should experience their various sounds across the decades (rock, blues, folk, progressive....). I saw them live in 1982, 1988 in UK, and in 1993, 1996 in Arizona.....such great shows, always entertaining whether acoustic ballads or heavy rock, or anything in between. Too many great tracks to list but you could try My God, Wondering Again, Thick as a Brick (live), Broadsword to give you some great flavors from the 60's thru the 80's. Of course Ian Anderson continues to this day to make music, unfortunately no longer with Martin Barre on guitar who is very underrated.

    Please be brave and do a deep dive into Tull. Especially the early albums. Ian is a genius. I saw them live during the Songs From the Wood tour in Houston. The audience was smoking the wacky weed, but not the band. In fact Ian is very anti drugs. That is still the tightest, most entertaining concerts I have ever been to in my 64 years of life.

  • @ianbrooke6342
    @ianbrooke6342 Місяць тому

    Love Tull, seen them twice in concert (not enough), bought all their albums which are terrific. There actually was a rumour in those days that the balloons (which were a regular at their concerts) were filled with cocaine and people used to pop them to get a snort. Disappointingly it was only talc which the makers put in balloons so the inside doesn't stick together and prevent them being inflated.

  • @headrushindi
    @headrushindi 2 місяці тому +1

    Jethro Tull ( Ian Anderson ) took Celtic influenced rock into the mainstream , just as Queen took Classical influenced rock into the main stream. These bands were Progressive rock giants True Genius .By the way the dust coming out of the balloon is Talcum powder. It keeps the latex dry and soft.

  • @stormbrewer3004

    Re your comment about how older music with simpler setups sounds better than today's over-produced music. A musician I follow on YT commented recently about what possibilities the sparsity of instruments gives production-wise, his main point being that the fewer instruments in the mix, the BIGGER you can make each of them sound, and you can play more around with the dynamics. "Less is more", in essence. And it makes sense - the more layers you pile on a production, the busier it gets, and the harder it is to make things shine. On the other hand, the more bare-boned the production, the more skilled the musicians/users of the musical tools need to be.

    @6:58, I actually have a huge balloon like that from Kiss 💋 (it's got their faces on it)..and no, I didn't pop it, I made sure I got it open to deflate it and I fought hard for it too😂😂... wish I could have had them sign it...❤ Yeah, out of nowhere they tossed them out (to the people in the very front, hence why I had to fight for it, we weren't near the front at all! 😅) and the ppl were doing the same thing, tossing them like beach balls...as far as I recall, there weren't very many though. SCORE!! I had 1000% surprised my son with the concert for his birthday, as they'd always been a major favorite of his, and I had to make it happen bc it was their last tour...So now we have a few things like that from it🎉🎉🎉🎉 and when Paul's line messed up and left him hanging in the air for awhile, it was hilarious but great to be there for!!😂😂😂

    Yes we should like and subscribe to the channels of music we like. It's one of the few ways to keep it alive, and not forgotten, so they are still known decades from now. Early Jethro Tull songs are great, but my favourite album is " Broadsword and the Beast".
    I believe you are correct, that all the technology being used today will cause music as we knew it to end. It has already been put forward, that here are few new bands starting up, since 2020. It's easier, and cheeper to just use a plug-in in software on a computer. Auto tuned vocals and ridgidly timed instruments will not make a song popular. There are stories of RUSH for example, writing their songs so then can be played live on stage.

    @9:00, Yessir!! The concerts, even in the 90's n early 2000's were so very much better! And you paid less, and got way more than you paid for! Now you pay thousands and get lipsyncing bc they've been auto-tuned so much that they cannot come close to replicating it, as far as most nowadays, I'm not saying all bc I know some that are amazing live too. But it's so very few n far between now. I remember wayyy back going to Ozzy, with Alice in Chains (brand new still), and Sepultura..It was phenomenal! And about the balloons you're talking about, I'm not sure what was in them, but when Ozzy came out, there were huge net-type things or something, couldn't tell, it was dark, but A WHOLE LOT of joints were raining down in there😂😂😂😂

    Life expectancy is higher in UK (=Jethro Tull) and many other countries than in the US. There are two Jethro Tull today - or none. One with Ian Anderson, and one with Martin Barre, guitar.
    And it is possible to do it today. Compare Frank Zappa playing "Montana" (about as complex as Locomotive Breath) live in Stockholm 1973, and his son Dweezil (as "Zappa plays Zappa") doing the same song in Las Vegas 2015 with guest artist Rachel Flowers for the guitar solo. (Martin Barre, Frank Zappa, Dweezil Zappa, and Rachel Flowers all belong to the group of most skilled in the world)

    If you think Jethro Tull was great, time to introduce yourself to The Who. Start with Young Man Blues 1970 at the Isle of Wight. You'll see the greatest in concert band of all time. There are several performances of The Who but none show the power and brilliance of the band quite like Young Man Blues
