When I saw Jethro Tull preform this live he said, "This piece was written around 300 years ago, around the time I was born." I will never forget that concert. I play the flute because of him.
The 70's were truly a magical era for music. Bands like Jethro Tull, ELP and Yes brought classical music to the ears of kids who never heard it before. Ian Anderson is a gem who has never been duplicated. He can play the flute like a lover, and attack with it, like it is a deadly weapon. I tell my kids to see these giants of rock before they are gone. The music industry no longer cares about breaking new sounds and taking chances. That's who so much music today sounds the same.
As regards classical music back in the 70s, there were more teenagers listening to it then than in later decades! The music industry you talked about, which country? I get the impression you have not expanded your music sphere beyond your own country!!! If so, you need to get out more!
@MarkRectorLazyRRanch ELP is short for Emerson, Lake and Palmer! Notably, one of the best English prog rock bands from the 70s and I will go as far to say better the ELO
Found in college around 1970. Still have the albums I saved, got disc so I can listen to Tull while driving today. Locomotive Breath still makes me speed!!!!!
I discovered Tull recently. They're definitely original. One of those bands that you can instantly tell from any other band. It sounds to me like music Henry VIII would like if he were a rocker. Medieval Rock & Roll.
Hope you can hear as much of them as possible. Definitely original and great musicians/performers. Unlike any others then or since. Best to you from old hippie/heavy rocker.@Temulon
I was introduced to Tull as 15 year old Black kid on the southside of Chicago. I was blown away by the unique music of Tull which I found inside of my new discovery of rock music. I have been a Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson fan ever since.
FM radio and record companies made us lazy. We have to actually LOOK for the talent that lights us up. There's just too much to choose from these days. Oh the pain.
I love Ian Anderson, I'm myself a classical trained flute player and I tell you with his playing he would never get a Conservatory Diploma but his style is so entertaining making him a true gem. @@devilsatan2973
I was about 21 when this came out. Listened to it over and over. Found it transcribed for classical guitar and learned it. But always coming back, transfixed, to Jethro Tull. Over forty years later, it still captures and holds me.
Yes, he's a wonderful flute player. If you like flute, you could listen to Roland Kirk and Harold McNair. Kirk is jazz not rock but he makes a flute talk, and Anderson obviously listened to him when he was younger. Kirk was a blind, black American who rocked before rock was a thing.
@@RootlessNZ - Ian Anderson, leader/flautist of Jethro Tull recorded a version of Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" on their first album This Was (1968). Kirk made Anderson think he could bring a flute into rock music. AFAIK Anderson was pretty well known with the jazz repertoire and must have been aware of other jazz flute players. In order of YoB (wiki inspired): Eric Dolphy - Eric Allan Dolphy Jr. (1928..1964) was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Primarily an alto saxophonist, bass clarinetist, and flautist, Dolphy was one of several multi-instrumentalists to gain prominence during the same era. His use of the bass clarinet helped to establish the unconventional instrument within jazz. Dolphy extended the vocabulary and boundaries of the alto saxophone, and was among the earliest significant jazz flute soloists. Eric Dolphy also is the godfather of jazz bass clarinet! Famous Dolphy collaborators include Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Freddie Hubbard. “Herbie Mann “, born Herbert Jay Solomon (1930.. 2003) was an American jazz flute player and important early practitioner of world music. Rahsaan Roland Kirk (born Ronald Theodore Kirk; 1935..1977), or Roland Kirk, was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist who played tenor saxophone, flute, and many other instruments. Hubert Laws (1939..) is an American flutist and saxophonist with a career spanning over 50 years in jazz, classical, and other music genres. Laws is one of the few classical artists who has also mastered jazz, pop, and rhythm-and-blues genres, moving effortlessly from one repertory to another. He has three Grammy nominations. The idea of using a flute in the pop/rock realm was not new, when Anderson turned to that flute, so here is a pop/rock list of recordings that used the flauto traverso by date of release.

I agree and so memorable too. I was VERY fortunate to see him 4 times at my very young age , first time was 9/8/69 at Anaheim. I feel blessed in that regard.
I always put on Jethro when I'm feeling whimsical and a full moon approaches , Jethro never fails to make my steps lighter and my mood more mischievous . Tonight the fire will be lit and we'll dance wild as the wind !
@@johnevans388,, or just Tull. They've been my favourite band since around 1970 when I first heard Witches Promise. Saw Tull live in Sydney in 1996 when Ian Anderson was in a wheel chair after a tumble off the stage in Lima Peru.
Si algo define la calidad de la musica de Bach es su facilidad para encajar con otros ritmos y otras maneras de entender una misma partitura. Es como el ADN de la vida misma, se replica una y otra vez evolucionando y adaptandose a nuevos entornos impredeciblemente cambiantes. Thank you Ian, thank you Bach.
I fucking love the Bouree by these guys! Love it! I was a vivid hard rocker some 45 years ago when someone made me listen to this piece by Jethro Tull. At first I couldn't stand it. Couldn't believe anyone can listen to such "soft" crap. But they made me listen to it several times, and it... grew on me. This is my favorite ever since. Had no clue it was Bach till today! Thank you Jethro Tull. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!
I'm learning to play flute starting last year at 60 years old and if I can ever play this piece half as well as Ian Anderson, my life will be complete Bravissimo!
@@angelaglover6540 I’m 70 and my daughter left her flute here after she ran away to college and got married. I’m going to have it cleaned, oiled, and adjusted. Then I’m going to learn Happy Birthday and I really want to learn the rudimentary form of Bourree. From there, who knows.
@@justicegusting2476 Good for you. I am not 67! I still can't play Bouree, well parts I could but not really like him. Good luck. I suggest getting a good teacher. I have a good one who doesn't mind an old lady. He said I have progressed further than any of his adult students.
This is one of the best pieces of music, a perfect compilation of Classical music by J.S. Bach and rock/ jazz modification (not improvement) by such a clever man I. Anderson. Great and beautiful.
bouree is a generic term for a type of dance, there were lots of bourees. But The thing with Bach which makes him unique I feel is that timing is everything,its that which gives the unique ''feel'' and you just cant mistake him for any other composer. If you err one nano second on the timing you have lost what Bach was all about.. I HATED playing Bach for that very reason and was VERY unsuccessful in each and every piece because it never allowed for expression or individuality.....and here is Jethro doing just that...........and hats off!..................but its lost Bach's soul in so doing.....and put in a little of his own. Which do I prefer? Well as a lover of Jethro Tull................I still prefer Bach.
Flutter tonguing works on the trumpet too, not to mention mammalian life forms. Living and working in New York City warps a man. Not in a bad way, in a good way. Been there done that. New Yorkers will understand this. If you're a New Yorker from 1975 on leave a comment. If not furggetaboutit.
Jethro Tull as a whole playing this piece is fantastic, and Ian Anderson's flute playing makes anything they play unique. There are those who try to copy his style, but they'll never REALLY be Sir Ian. ♥️
Was lucky enough to see the band live many times. Once sat behind the stage and had a great view of the back of Ian Anderson balanced on one leg playing the flute. Great band. Every member added a unique touch.
I always loved Jethro Tull. I got to thinking about them yesterday when I was reading that they are from Blackpool. I never realized how awesome they were in concert. Made me appreciate them even more. Fantastic memories of fantastic music.
If you care for this kind of music, think about Canned Heat with Poppa John Creach on the electric flute. Poppa John was about 60 years older than the rest of the band ... but he could rock out with the best. Or, oh, who was it that played electric flute on a couple early Elton John albums? Little help here please.
Each and every time I hear this song I like it more and more. Ian and the band are just freaking awesome musicians. I think they are better musicians now than in theirgolden years of the late sixties and early seventies. They just ROCK, don't they?
Ian was a unique talent. He gave us something timeless, that cannot be duplicated by anyone ever. Jethro Tull is my all time favorite musical experience.
@@Andrew-fs6wd Or it is a reference to something that happened in the past. Ian was a unique talent in the world of music when he arrived on the scene. That is what I am talking about. Please stop with the semantics lessons.
Elton John said in an interview some time back that there were three great bands that came out of England. Now I am not sure of the time frame in which he referred but he mentioned The Beatles...The Rolling Stones & The Dave Clsrk Five. I can't argue with that selection BUT...there so many more. The Who...The Hollies...The Kinks...& of course JETHRO TULL who in my opinion were one of the greatest bands that ever came out of England.
فعلا هذا الفنان عبقري، تصوروا اننا نستمع له تقريبا منذ نصف قرن، مبدع كبير. شكرا على هذا الفيديو الذي إستمعت له عدة مرات، موسيقى منبعثة من اعماق وجدان الانسان ، هذا الفن لا يموت.
I saw you performing live in Madrid, Spain, somewhere around 1977. Memorable. I was very close to the stage. Impressive. Seems like ages ago, but your music has passed the test of time, with honors. Bravo
questo mito che ascolto da 50 anni non smette mai di stupirmi sia come solista che come gruppo non trovo parole per poter dire cosa penso sarai sempre uno dei grandi JETHRO TULL MITICI
Ian has been the first to join classic and rock music and additionally he's done it at master level. Just great music. And great fun to listen him entertaining the crowd.
Thank you so much,, many years of joy... much love , never thought of my special music as cocktail lounge jazz... Lol.. Wish you all well and hope you and yours are safe and well...x
JS Bach ain’t in it either, still a legend. RnRHoF is a joke. It adds nothing to the legend of any artist in it. JT is legendary because I get my kid to listen to it in 2024 and he stops doing whatever he’s doing to give it his full attention.
Ian, you will always be the best flutist, you will always be eccentric, you will always be in my heart. I love J.S. Bach immensely. But your version of "Bourée" is the best. And then you come from so far away, Cromagnon, Neanderthal? You take a little tour in an evolved artistic world, you play for our happiness this sublime work somewhat neglected by its creator. And then you come back with your cries of wild beasts or is it the language that our ancestors spoke then? Hats off Sir Anderson...
After dreaming and waking up with this in my heart and mind, I only know growing up with Jethro Tull albums being played over and over by my parents as a child. I know the songs and relate them to another time long ago, but their music is timeless.
Both my kids loved this music as babies. In their 40's now, they both have decent music tastes. I still remember them in their jumpy seat, ("Johnny jumpup?) It clamped onto a sturdy doorway, suspended with a sturdy spring. They'd start and stop jumping as the songs played, laughing and cooing. Good times 😊 Hope you have a great day!
One of my idols. I play flute, saxes and Clarinets. I told my 4th grade band director flute and heavy metal mix she laughed me off 30 years later playing flute in the bars as a rock musician I would love to jam with Jethro learning his flutter
One of the bands those of us playing gigs admired as they’re the real deal, classically trained, able to do a rare mix of classical, jazz and rock & roll
Great artist Jan, there is little to say. I am still happy to listen to this immortal music today. One day it will be said that the magic flute really existed, thanks Jan
Wow !!! I'm 60 and never been to a concert in my whole life and I was around in the 70's. Why ? Because I was beaten ever day of my young life as a youth and hid myself from society for I was a no man . 😞 Boy I missed out big time but do really appreciate hearing him play cause it got into my soul . Oh LORD thou art there where ever I have been whether in heaven or hell for there is no place I can be hidden from thy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for being my Christ. Selah Amen Shalom People of the Lord and may the Almighty bless Jethro Tull. Amen
He is so perfekt, great musician. See Jethro Tull live in Frankfurt am Main Germany, he flew with his flute on the ceiling of the hall and play! This was great and the whole concert was fantastic (early 80s) Greetings from Germany
My daughter has liked this since she is 5! And still love it at 9. Because of this piece, she decided to learn flute at the Liège Academy of Music. And this comment is the 2000th one! hehe
*@Brigitte,* if you like to listen to the flute, check this movement _Scherzo_ from A Midsummer Night's Dream by Felix Mendelssohn. You will love the intricacy of the piece, and the genius of the composer. *With the whole orchestra:* ruclips.net/video/hHTV3GFyHfM/видео.html *Then this great duo:* ruclips.net/video/hxjMKNCvbEE/видео.html I was told by a German friend that the people had to hide all the work of Mendelssohn from the Nazi back in the 1930s for of destruction, because the composer was of Jewish descent (converted to Christianity). If the story is true then bless those who preserved his work.
Jorge Martín what ever he does I would say it works . He has his own style and can not be compared to James Galway or the likes who also has his own style and is less entertaining. You don't have to play the flute to enjoy the playing of others either
this live amazing performance has stroke up many questions in my mind , one of them is how did he make a barouque melody sound like a jazz one , what an astonishing musician he is
I can still smell the cocaine and taste the mushrooms from those wondrous years.. Crazily talented musicians were everywhere you look and these guys are an OUTSTANDING chapter of that book. There is some crazy energy that emerges between and around these guys when they do their thing. Anyone who’s ever seen them live knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about..
A walking wonder that Man... I can't understand how he still manages this - even if it's half-crazy as the original recording in Stand-Up, it's still so beautiful and engaging and musically should-stirring. Mr Anderson, a word for you here. I was hardly a 7 year-old when you recorded this thing. At 14 I found about Jethro-Tull and listened and collected most everything you ever published. Then you got to Israel for performances - of which I missed none. I'm 55 now, and I tell you --- Man, you've done MORE THAN ENOUGH. If you wish to retire and rest - be ABSOLUTELY SURE, you (and your pals in Jethro-Tull) earned this rightfully. Really - only do this if you really love to, and can do without too much suffering. Your career, and music, and addicted fans like myself - will carry on this thing forever. Cheers, and thanks again. and again. and again.
This honestly brings tears to my eyes as a flute player. I never knew the flute could be played like this until I found Jethro Tull. That's why I began to not really like the fact that I played the flute because it didn't seem like a cool or important instrument in the band and it was all just really fast scales or whatever in the songs we'd play in band. This has honestly brought back my pride as a flute player. I hope to learn how to play like this someday ❤
Che dire....solo MAGICO IAN!!!! e "quella" voce da brividi, "quel" frullo o trillo col flauto- Come Hendrix faceva parlare la sua fender stratocaster Ian fà parlare il suo flauto traverso- Felice ed onorata di aver vissuto l'atmosfera di quegli anni, "quel" modo di far musica, "quel" coraggio di ascoltarsi....nel bene ed anche nel tanto male - Grazie Ian, ricordaci sempre come volevamo scegliere #nonostantetutto
When I saw Jethro Tull preform this live he said, "This piece was written around 300 years ago, around the time I was born." I will never forget that concert. I play the flute because of him.
@Paolo G The concert I saw was in 2014. I wasn't alive in 1974 so that would have been difficult, although that would be cool.
Ahahahah 🤣
Me too. I picked up the flute back in the day because of Jethro Tull.
I didn't play it but I initially bought a flute because of JT😂😂
I call it Ian's flute since then😂😂😂😂😂
So do I! Ian told me that even at 63 it wasn’t too late! So I got started. It’ll be a minute before Ian asks me to join him on tour but hey.

@MarkRectorLazyRRanch ELP is short for Emerson, Lake and Palmer! Notably, one of the best English prog rock bands from the 70s and I will go as far to say better the ELO
@ursamajor7468 rank them, why do that? Because I can! From a personal point of view, ELP are better! I am not a fence sitter, if you take my meaning!
It's impossible to look at his face while playing and not to smile! A great musician! I'm happy to live at the same time with him.

Dude did half of the performance standing on one leg. Kudos friend, top performance!

Perhaps he does? :)
Yeah, I´d love to see him barf in disgust to all the profane electric noise and all the vulgar drumming.
I was absolutely breathless for the entire time they were playing. That flutter tonguing was just beautiful...
Is that what its called? Thanks, its truly amazing.
you were breathless cause he needed your breath to flute.
Flutter tonguing works on the trumpet too, not to mention mammalian life forms. Living and working in New York City warps a man. Not in a bad way, in a good way. Been there done that. New Yorkers will understand this. If you're a New Yorker from 1975 on leave a comment. If not furggetaboutit.
Martin and Ian both musical genius. Thank you for helping us appreciate true talent from the sixties till now. I still get goosebumps
Don't forget about the great J.S. Bach another musical genius who wrote this tune as well as hundreds of others.
@@TheAlanWilson yeah but bach's genius can't compare to the brilliance of martin and ian
@jgunther3398 you got to be kidding right?
I feel sorry for younger folks they will never get to see classic Tull performances live again🙁
You realize the world is getting old when Ian no longer plays standing on one leg...
He did get that leg up for a mo
in tights with his head leaning backward and the wild locks reaching the ground behind him
The wild expressions on his face make up for that!
Yeah, he got his leg up at 4:48 and raised his eyebrows to punctuate it!
He still does if the money's right.
CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S MAN? LET ME HEAR YOU APPLAUD, HE'S MORE THAN A MAN HE'S A SHINING GOLDEN GOD!
+DesROWUnited yea hes definitly full of himself

jack black to ronnie fuckin DIO !

so true x
Yes!!!
Jethro Tull as a whole playing this piece is fantastic, and Ian Anderson's flute playing makes anything they play unique. There are those who try to copy his style, but they'll never REALLY be Sir Ian. ♥️
Soy de chile. Tuve la oportunidad verlos en vivo una experiencia inolvidable. Músicos muy talentosos.
Yo también, lástima me quedé dormida en la mitad del concierto más o menos, había esperado mucho y tenía 5 años (creó) . Tenía tantas ganas de verlo.
Un insieme di sensazioni incredibili....ARTISTI senza tempo!!! Qui senti l'essenza della musica e molto più!
Was lucky enough to see the band live many times. Once sat behind the stage and had a great view of the back of Ian Anderson balanced on one leg playing the flute. Great band. Every member added a unique touch.
I like Ian Anderson's eloquence. He knows what he's talking about. And what a wonderful piece for the flute.

Brits are taught classical before their let loose on the rock scene.
Dieses Lied faszinierte mich seit ich es zum ersten Mal gehört habe.
Es ist zeitlos und einfach Super.
Gruß Jürgen Heitz
One of, if not, the greatest contemporary musicians of the twentieth century.
Thank you RUclips for recommending I view this once more. It is truly a timeless classic
Genio maravilloso de una banda inmortal que escucho desde mi ya lejana y feliz adolescencia y que seguiré escuchando hasta el último día de mi vida.
This guy is a true genius, both by flawless interpretation ad improvisation!!!!
I am so grateful to have grown up in this time of the greatest musicians
when Ian anderson plays the flute it always brightens up my day what a performer
I always loved Jethro Tull. I got to thinking about them yesterday when I was reading that they are from Blackpool. I never realized how awesome they were in concert. Made me appreciate them even more. Fantastic memories of fantastic music.
I love this band, who else can make rock music with a flute, nobody I can think of, oh yea Moody blues.
If you care for this kind of music, think about Canned Heat with Poppa John Creach on the electric flute. Poppa John was about 60 years older than the rest of the band ... but he could rock out with the best. Or, oh, who was it that played electric flute on a couple early Elton John albums? Little help here please.
Wrong, Papa John started out the electric FIDDLE, not flute. Stil looking ...
Each and every time I hear this song I like it more and more. Ian and the band are just freaking awesome musicians. I think they are better musicians now than in theirgolden years of the late sixties and early seventies. They just ROCK, don't they?
The most satisfying moment of anyone's day is when a friend remarks: "Wow, Jethro Tull is a really talented flute player!"
Back in 73, I mentioned to a friend I like Jethro Tull, to which he replied, "ls that the dude with the flute?" 🤣
Until they learn his name is Ian Anderson. 😳 Jethro Tull is the name of the band, only.
Ian was a unique talent. He gave us something timeless, that cannot be duplicated by anyone ever. Jethro Tull is my all time favorite musical experience.
He's still alive and performing
@@Andrew-fs6wd I know.
Past tense usually implies someone is dead
@@Andrew-fs6wd Or it is a reference to something that happened in the past. Ian was a unique talent in the world of music when he arrived on the scene. That is what I am talking about. Please stop with the semantics lessons.
Elton John said in an interview some time back that there were three great bands that came out of England. Now I am not sure of the time frame in which he referred but he mentioned The Beatles...The Rolling Stones & The Dave Clsrk Five. I can't argue with that selection BUT...there so many more. The Who...The Hollies...The Kinks...& of course JETHRO TULL who in my opinion were one of the greatest bands that ever came out of England.
Being a classical guitarist and an ardent Tull fan, this is my favorite Tull tune. Every version is different and even better than the one before !
BWV 996 for the win. Treat Bach with respect, even when messing around with him, and you'll never be disappointed.

فعلا هذا الفنان عبقري، تصوروا اننا نستمع له تقريبا منذ نصف قرن، مبدع كبير.
شكرا على هذا الفيديو الذي إستمعت له عدة مرات، موسيقى منبعثة من اعماق وجدان الانسان ، هذا الفن لا يموت.
I saw you performing live in Madrid, Spain, somewhere around 1977. Memorable. I was very close to the stage. Impressive. Seems like ages ago, but your music has passed the test of time, with honors. Bravo
Ian may look older, but the music never ages....
my wife makes me laugh, she still thinks his name is J.T. she loves his music though and that's all that matters
Call yourself lucky for having such a wife, who clearly perceives the things that matter. :D
And he is the music, so...
Michael Ladd Turned me on to the flute for first time in college..whew
and in this case much less with this tune of BACH
Amazing Jethro... With this tune, he showed us his talent as a great musician exploring Bach original "Bourée" into a modern jazzy tune...Awsome...
You do know Jethro is not a person...….
@@MultiSassman he was. Quite a while back.
Jethro Tull - born 1674, English agronomist, agriculturist, writer, and inventor whose ideas helped form the basis of modern British agriculture.
We love you Ian and thanks for all your efforts and bringing joy to our lives.
questo mito che ascolto da 50 anni non smette mai di stupirmi sia come solista che come gruppo non trovo parole per poter dire cosa penso sarai sempre uno dei grandi JETHRO TULL MITICI
Ian has been the first to join classic and rock music and additionally he's done it at master level. Just great music. And great fun to listen him entertaining the crowd.
Thank you so much,, many years of joy... much love , never thought of my special music as cocktail lounge jazz... Lol..
Wish you all well and hope you and yours are safe and well...x
How he can play so masterfully while running and skipping and dancing around the stage like that… unreal.
Walking through the praire....middle ages...
Ian's flute playing skills just kept getting better.
....As of 2024 still NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a bloody shame. A disgrace.
He's way way more than a Rock and Roll player
He's in his own category
Perhaps Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull don't want to be in the same category as, say, Kiss...!!
JS Bach ain’t in it either, still a legend. RnRHoF is a joke. It adds nothing to the legend of any artist in it. JT is legendary because I get my kid to listen to it in 2024 and he stops doing whatever he’s doing to give it his full attention.
Ian, you will always be the best flutist, you will always be eccentric, you will always be in my heart. I love J.S. Bach immensely. But your version of "Bourée" is the best. And then you come from so far away, Cromagnon, Neanderthal? You take a little tour in an evolved artistic world, you play for our happiness this sublime work somewhat neglected by its creator. And then you come back with your cries of wild beasts or is it the language that our ancestors spoke then? Hats off Sir Anderson...
This man and co have been a part of my growing life why so many thumbs down?I dont understand this is amazing!
Thankfully, the likes outnumber the dislikes.
This instrumentalist is on the podium of the greatest geniuses of mankind.
Thanks for these frequencies.🥰😇
After dreaming and waking up with this in my heart and mind, I only know growing up with Jethro Tull albums being played over and over by my parents as a child. I know the songs and relate them to another time long ago, but their music is timeless.
Both my kids loved this music as babies. In their 40's now, they both have decent music tastes.
I still remember them in their jumpy seat, ("Johnny jumpup?) It clamped onto a sturdy doorway, suspended with a sturdy spring. They'd start and stop jumping as the songs played, laughing and cooing.
Good times 😊
Hope you have a great day!
Genial ! Bach atualizado! E a encenação do flautista tocando é sensacional !
Magnífico talento !
One of my idols. I play flute, saxes and Clarinets. I told my 4th grade band director flute and heavy metal mix she laughed me off 30 years later playing flute in the bars as a rock musician I would love to jam with Jethro learning his flutter
One of the bands those of us playing gigs admired as they’re the real deal, classically trained, able to do a rare mix of classical, jazz and rock & roll
Simply amazing, unbeatable, not enough words for this marvelous performance!
Great artist Jan, there is little to say. I am still happy to listen to this immortal music today. One day it will be said that the magic flute really existed, thanks Jan
Wow !!! I'm 60 and never been to a concert in my whole life and I was around in the 70's. Why ? Because I was beaten ever day of my young life as a youth and hid myself from society for I was a no man . 😞
Boy I missed out big time but do really appreciate hearing him play cause it got into my soul . Oh LORD thou art there where ever I have been whether in heaven or hell for there is no place I can be hidden from thy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for being my Christ. Selah Amen Shalom People of the Lord and may the Almighty bless Jethro Tull. Amen
And may the Almighty bless William Iannucci
And continue to guide, shield, protect and heal William Iannucci
through Jesus Christ
Amen
Whenever I listen to J.T. I always wish they did more instrumental music. This was wonderful!!!
Если есть на свете вещи, которые будят в тебе самое лучшее и душевное- то это -МУЗЫКА и такие исполнители !
Это точно!
I dont even know what you just said
just the thruth. I don't have russian keyboard, so I write in english ;-)
Zgadzam się z rosyjskojęzycznym przedmówcą!
Bach a favorite ever. Jethro Tull a favorite always. Thank you, Ian.
Discovered JT before living in the past. As good as ever now as in the late 1960's. Long may they go on . Big respect.
check out benifit as another early album i wore through 3 copies
He is so perfekt, great musician. See Jethro Tull live in Frankfurt am Main Germany, he flew with his flute on the ceiling of the hall and play! This was great and the whole concert was fantastic (early 80s)
Greetings from Germany
I just looooove this song and this artist!!! I love you!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Not bad for a self-taught flute player! :) I've been a Tull fan since 1967, and still think that they are one of the best ever, especially live.
Im learning flute the ian anderson way
Amazing to see how he rocks that flute :D ... I've always liked the band but now is the first time i actually see them play. Awesome...
Nimrad D I got to see him in 1977..the best concert I've ever seen. they have clips up here..Berkely
Grande musica
He came to my city in a little theater by my house just about a week ago. I can't get this song out of my head.
09crafty09 me too,i just love this song,it was the B side of Living In The Past.The fist record I bought.x
Saw Ian in october 14th, his singing is pretty bad, but my god he plays the flute like a maniac!
They have made music for every moment in life, never a dull moment with Tull on the turntable. Seen them twice..I'm a lucky man...
My daughter has liked this since she is 5! And still love it at 9. Because of this piece, she decided to learn flute at the Liège Academy of Music. And this comment is the 2000th one! hehe
I saw Jethro Tull 13 times, in Berlin, Hamburg, Halle/Saale and near Chemnitz. A Great Band!
best flute player in the world. love him.xxx.
That’s right Bridget
*@Brigitte,* if you like to listen to the flute, check this movement _Scherzo_ from A Midsummer Night's Dream by Felix Mendelssohn. You will love the intricacy of the piece, and the genius of the composer.
*With the whole orchestra:* ruclips.net/video/hHTV3GFyHfM/видео.html
*Then this great duo:* ruclips.net/video/hxjMKNCvbEE/видео.html
I was told by a German friend that the people had to hide all the work of Mendelssohn from the Nazi back in the 1930s for of destruction, because the composer was of Jewish descent (converted to Christianity). If the story is true then bless those who preserved his work.
Jorge Martín have you ever heard of the phrase "having your own style " well Ian certainly has his own and it's kept him going for years
Ron Philpott i know i know. But he could learn to put his fingers in the right positions to sound good and better.
Jorge Martín what ever he does I would say it works . He has his own style and can not be compared to James Galway or the likes who also has his own style and is less entertaining.
You don't have to play the flute to enjoy the playing of others either
this live amazing performance has stroke up many questions in my mind , one of them is how did he make a barouque melody sound like a jazz one , what an astonishing musician he is
Oh WOW ! That’s what we need now in this difficult time. That goes instantly in the heart.
I imagine Bach either loving or absolutely hating this version of his work. I can't imagine him hearing it, shrugging his shoulders and saying "Meh".
I can still smell the cocaine and taste the mushrooms from those wondrous years.. Crazily talented musicians were everywhere you look and these guys are an OUTSTANDING chapter of that book. There is some crazy energy that emerges between and around these guys when they do their thing. Anyone who’s ever seen them live knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about..
I got the chance to see him playing live, even though I am very young. So happy I could witness this
absolutely fascinating. really can't say that I have enjoyed a song more. His work with the flute is amazing. Cheers!!!!!
I googled the BOUREE sheet music and sent it to a young lady learning flute in school band class. ☺
WytZox1 I wish I had that music
How did that work out
A walking wonder that Man... I can't understand how he still manages this - even if it's half-crazy as the original recording in Stand-Up, it's still so beautiful and engaging and musically should-stirring. Mr Anderson, a word for you here. I was hardly a 7 year-old when you recorded this thing. At 14 I found about Jethro-Tull and listened and collected most everything you ever published. Then you got to Israel for performances - of which I missed none. I'm 55 now, and I tell you --- Man, you've done MORE THAN ENOUGH. If you wish to retire and rest - be ABSOLUTELY SURE, you (and your pals in Jethro-Tull) earned this rightfully. Really - only do this if you really love to, and can do without too much suffering. Your career, and music, and addicted fans like myself - will carry on this thing forever. Cheers, and thanks again. and again. and again.
This honestly brings tears to my eyes as a flute player. I never knew the flute could be played like this until I found Jethro Tull. That's why I began to not really like the fact that I played the flute because it didn't seem like a cool or important instrument in the band and it was all just really fast scales or whatever in the songs we'd play in band. This has honestly brought back my pride as a flute player. I hope to learn how to play like this someday ❤
🩵Keep practicing dear,+I think you Will Rock! Don't ever give up on your dreams.🩵
@@cherie6970 Thank you so much! ❤️✨

MARTIN WAS BORN
Me ...
So happy in my soul to can enjoy this
2019 on mother Earth....
This is Music
This song just keeps calling me... Thanks to you Ian and your band, well done!
Reminds me of Les Dawson: " I would like to play one of Bachs, but, he never plays any of mine"
Today Maestro's Bach birthday, all fans invited to celebrate the event, Bach super star, unforgettable indeed🎉❤🎉
Are you here via "Sunday Baroque," by any chance? They had a link to here in honor of Bach's birthday...
Tutta la musica di quel periodo era magica e meravigliosa, Ian Anderson unico 🥰
I haven’t seen him since the 80s. It’s so grand to see him that he is still making music. Thank you so much for posting this. Love it and love him
Ian has been a magical music man for many lifetimes.
You do not get any better than this. Thank You JT.
Che dire....solo MAGICO IAN!!!! e "quella" voce da brividi, "quel" frullo o trillo col flauto- Come Hendrix faceva parlare la sua fender stratocaster Ian fà parlare il suo flauto traverso- Felice ed onorata di aver vissuto l'atmosfera di quegli anni, "quel" modo di far musica, "quel" coraggio di ascoltarsi....nel bene ed anche nel tanto male - Grazie Ian, ricordaci sempre come volevamo scegliere #nonostantetutto
Stupefacenti,avevo appena 13 anni quando ho sentito per la prima volta i Jethro Tull. A distanza di 50 anni ancora mi emozionano quando li ascolto.
hai raggione anche tu
