My daughter played flute and sax when in high school. I was playing Tull on the stereo. She came busting out of her room. Next thing I heard was another Tull album in her room starting and stopping. She was trying to play little riffs. After a few days she was getting it down. I was so proud of her.😇
Correct. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1700... and died 41 years later. He did not become immortal and become a folk/ rock flautist and singer. Or did he?
You didn't finish by stating that the original Jethro Tull was a seventeenth-century seed farmer in England comprable to are Johnny Appleseed. BTW... I was at that concert but she's watching.
@@they_9569 isn't Google fantastic, lol and to think I had to read about this back in the early 70s. Seen Jethro Tull in concert eight times in various cities and states and Outdoors in Denver at Fiddler's on the Green and at one time I had every album including several bootlegs. Obviously a big fan. Although on the southside of Chicago we were known as TULL freaks
such reacting/commenting on JT provides me so much pleasure since it reminds me my own feeling when i 1st discovered them! ❤ Ian is a genius guy! when you go Tull you never go back!
I am a huge JT fan, and having seen Ian Anderson live on stage can safely say his stage presence is amongst the top 5 performers in the world EVER. IF (and it's a BIG if) he can be surpassed with his charisma and finesse on stage, it must only be by an Elvis, a Michael Jackson, or the greatest stage performer of all time bar none...Freddie Mercury.
The 3 greatest concerts I've attended are Santana in '70 & '71. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in '71 & '73. AND Jethro Tull those 6 times in '71 (I think that's the right years for all those. I was around 25.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
After playing the flute in Jethro Tull for 25 years, Ian Anderson's daughter was learning the flute, and he discovered he was playing it wrong. He was self taught and his fingering was all off.. So he had to relearn it. I think he said it's easier the "right" way.
@@kentgwyn3230 I agree. Harpo Marx (Marx Brothers) experienced the same thing. A classical harpist was going to teach him some technique. But he first listened to Harpo plucking the harp. After he finished, the tutor said: "I can't teach you anything, but you can always teach me" - Same goes for Ian. He can easily beat classical trained flautists because most of them lack improvisation skills, and they never go any further than "clean" playing.
Watch Jethro Tull live at "The Isle of Wight Festival, 1970." The performance of the song "My God" (especially Ian Anderson's flute solo) will leave you breathless! BTW, the lead singer/flutist/acoustic guitar player is the incomparable Ian Anderson!! The name of the band is Jethro Tull. Another classic rock/prog rock band who had a flutist/singer, Ray Thomas, is The Moody Blues. However, his flute playing is more subtle and romantic. Not the showmanship and the brazen playing of Ian. I recommend "Nights in White Satin" for an example of his style.
OMFG Tash!!! You will LOVE everything Tull does. Ian Andersons flute is the bands trademark! They have a lot of albums dating back to 1966 and they are all dynamite! Check out My God, Cross-eyed mary, Aqualung, Mother Goose or any others :) . So glad you found these guys. Please react to more of their stuff! Cheers from Australia!
That was a great reaction Tasha! A better live performance, both sound wise and clarity is Tull doing Thick as a Brick live in Madison Square Garden from 1978. You'll dig it.
Go listen to the studio version on AQUALUNG, and you'll hear some spectacular piano as an intro. This live version you heard interpolates several other songs at the end.
Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1701! For more spectacular flute playing/abuse, yes, check out the live (shortened) versions of ‘Thick as a Brick’, a live extended version of ‘My God’ and personal favourite ‘Nothing is Easy’ from the very start of their career. And speaking of careering check out other flute playing band Focus playing ‘Hocus Pocus’ on the Midnight Special’. I always imagine the conversation went like this: “How long is your song?” “Seven minutes”. “You’ve got four”. “OK, we’ll play it faster.....” Check it out!
There is a flute instructor (teacher) that has done some reactions to Jethro Tull. You should see her freaking out when he starts flinging his flute around. It's hilarious!!!
Gregg Williamson, she is so cute when she reacts to Ian Anderson and I believe she has become a fan. I have been a Jethro Tull fan for 50 years now and truth be told I've had, and still have, a crush on Mr. Anderson all these many years. I watch either one of his orchestral videos or an older Tull video at least once a day. Just can't help myself. Lol.
If you consider classically-trained musicians often have an instrument that costs as much as a car, and don't (at the music instructor level) make big salaries or get free equipment from music manufacturers, they tend to be very CAREFUL of their musical instruments!
My God, from Tull. Great song! My first concert I ever seen was Jethro Tull in Madison Square Garden 1978. My older brother took me to the concert. Years later I took him to a Rush concert.
There aren't many flautists in rock, but Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull is the band name) is the best of them. "Cross-Eyed Mary" is another Jethro Tull band with some great anderson flutework. And as someone else suggested, Focus's "Hocus Pocus", but be warned... it's not for the faint-hearted!
please don't leave out Ray Thomas of the Moody blues from that list. It's already too short. " Nights in White satin" and "Legend of a Mind ' played in a more classical style is a must to hear. It will often bring a tear to my eyes with it"s flowing soothing beauty.
The only other bands I know that used flutes were The Moody Blues & Traffic. They're not nearly as animated though. He's the king of the rock flautists.
I saw a story that Ian Anderson was trying to talk Jimmy Page into leaving Zep in the early days, was telling him they would be great with Jimmy' writing music and Ian writing lyrics. He said this just as Robert Plant (lyricist for Zep) was walking by and a feud was born.
Tull rhymes with dull, not tool, and it breath, not breathe. I think reviewers should always hear the original studio recording before live recordings.
There's only one Ian Anderson, and only One Jethro Tull. I've been fortunate enough to have seen these great performers, and musicians 3x in Colorado USA 🎼🎼🎼 Master Musicians
I saw them live in 2004, it was every bit this awesome. they played an acoustic set that was over an hour long, took a 20 minute break, and then played an electric set that was even longer. I saw them within a month of seeing metallica.. and i was more impressed with jethro tull.
Anderson's lyrics are as great as the .music and I'm sure he would love the fact of a beautiful black flute lady watching Tull,yeah and I play a little self taught flute!
BTW. the " handle" refers the the handle on the speed control of diesel locomotives. So, if "someone stole the handle". you can not slow the train down..
Haha. I remember the first time someone told me to listen to Jethro Tull and I saw the picture with the costumes and flute and... uh, nope. A few years later I accidentally started watching this very video and wasn't close enough to the TV to turn it off but, when Ian started playing that damn flute, I was like, "HOLY POOP! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" ;-)
Jethro Tull is the name of the group. Ian Anderson is the flute player. Anderson and the rest of Jethro Tull are celebrating their 50th anniversary be performing in the UK and Australia in 2022.
Early Genesis, Moody Blues, Traffic, and other bands used the flute as well. But no one comes close to Ian's style - he is self taught and developed a completely unique technique.
The album version has a distinctly different intro, check it out too. Much more sedate, combines classical and jazz. Great contrast to the rest of the song.
For your knowledge here are some other bands that use the flute. Tull (Ian Anderson) plays his uniquely but others more formal. look up : The Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See - 9/10/1973 - Grand Opera House; Tim Weisberg - Listen to the City form Listen to the City Album; The Moody Blues; and the Band Traffic
Ian Anderson is brilliant on flute, he plays beautifully but also sings through it.He is also a great showman. In a nutshell the song is about sometimes life is like a freight train out of control. The concert was in 1971, I was there
"My God" - studio version by them is really great, and some great flute playing too. You'd love it. Imagine yourself being a front(wo)man in a band as a flute player.
Enjoyed your reactions. I wish you many years of enjoyment with your flute. Keep on practicing. Ian Andersons live shows are very full of energy. His flute playing and song writing are on a whole level of there own. I’ve meet him twice. He’s Very kind. I hope you enjoy discovering more of his music. Excellent video
I saw them in Greensboro, NC in '75, and Ian Anderson destroyed a flute by slinging it across the stage where it wrapped around the leg of a piano. It appeared as though one of the keys was sticking the way he kept looking at it and messing with it. His stage assistant, who he later married, brought another out to him.
OHHHHHHH VERYYYYY NIIICCEEE TASHA SO YOU SHOULD LUVVVVV THIS GUY ( IAN ANDERSON ) AND THE BAND ( JETHRO TULL ) THEY'RE MY 3RD FAVORITE OF ALLLLLLL TIME AFTER ELTON JOHN AND NEIL YOUNG :)
You have a wonderful flute teacher! Mr Anderson, starting out as a blues chap, influenced by Roland Kirk, swung into rock, then folkie rock......probably one of the first prog rockers. Still doing the business, sensibly leaving the vocals to younger band members, and doing the business very well. Wonderful video. Good luck with your flute studies.
Saw Tull during the Song from the Wood tour absolutely amazing concert, the entire band is amazing and Ian Anderson is a consummate showman!! Multi talented wrote the majority of lyrics and music, he is a self taught flutist as well!! Great video and check out all of Jethro Tull you will be equally amazed!! Do you know Heline?
There are lots of examples of Ian. He was self taught . Years later he found out he did something wrong with his fingers and took lessons. He got better ! Thick as Brick
Well if they haven't told you in the comments Jethro Tull actually was a farm equipment inventor and probably the 16th century the fellow you looking at who obviously leads the band is Ian Anderson who is a master on many instruments but totally unique. One of the other sites mentioned a certain label for that type of flute player who breathes and says things in between his notes and makes his voice a part of the notes. You should watch the whole concert and see him going wild bleeding the band. He writes all the music and this locomotive breath and cross-eyed Mary on Aqualung are the most popular three songs the band has ever done and are usually saved for the encore. I've seen them live multiple times and I am just astounded at the talent on Ian's expressions and just energy that explodes all over you and is so much fun I can't find the words for it. I can't really think of anyone else the plays the flute to even compare especially in rock bands. No I really can't i. I would just if I were you go unless to all of it. They have 21 albums out and they just came out with the 22nd one I've had over 30 members in the band that have come and gone but Ian has been there since the beginning I want to say 1968 as he's a year older than me and I'm 73 and he's still be rocking woman
The Aqualung album is loaded with songs that address the unfortunate members of society. Check out the other songs on the album. Also check out other Tull albums, War Child, Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs From the Wood, This Was, Too Old to Rock and Roll, etc..
Jethro Tull is totally unique, so of course they come out, guns blazing, with a guitar solo in the first 5 seconds, that "everybody else" saves for the middle or end of a song...
Tull plays exactly opposite of the way my teacher taught us to play. What did he know! Actually he was blown away by Tull, brought the album in and played it for us. Peter Gabriel in Genesis plays flute, there is a flute player in Marshal Tucker (I don't know his name).
@@edford1693 , Great song, but if you ever got to see the old Marshall Tucker Band live before any of them had passed, Take The Highway is the one song where Jerry Eubanks really goes off on the flute.
Thank you for the reaction! Ian Anderson is the flautist/singer and the band is Jethro Tull (rhymes with pull). Try Aqualung and Thick As A Brick next. They are always best live!
Wrong, my friend. Tull rhymes with 'hull' and 'gull' -- not 'pull' or 'bull' or 'tool'. (Unless, of course, one has some really fucked-up Scandinavian accent...)
Hey Beautiful, Tull is fantastic very theatrical in concert. Call your flute Tull! It’s Breath, like take a breath! He is Ian Anderson the Group was Jethro Tull! This song is actually from 1971.
Welcome to the Jethro Tull (rhymes with Mull) rabbit hole. I won't add any song suggestions to the great ones others have made already. As others have pointed out Jethro Tull was the name of the band. The name was taken, oddly enough, from an english agricultural pioneer/inventor (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(agriculturist)). Ian Anderson is the name of the singer/flautist. Anyway, fun to see your reaction to this.
My daughter played flute and sax when in high school. I was playing Tull on the stereo. She came busting out of her room. Next thing I heard was another Tull album in her room starting and stopping. She was trying to play little riffs. After a few days she was getting it down. I was so proud of her.😇
wow! 👍
Jethro Tull is the name of the band! The front man is Ian Anderson.
Correct. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1700... and died 41 years later. He did not become immortal and become a folk/ rock flautist and singer.
Or did he?

You sure it's not Pan? Flute God
That's Sir Ian Anderson, you peasant!
I Find Tasha's enthusiasm for this song inspiring. I have always loved Jethro Tull. To see it through new eyes (and ears) as it were is wonderful
Jethro Tull is the name of the band. The singer/flautist is Ian Anderson. Some other songs to check out:
"Aqualung" and "Bungle In The Jungle"
I like the song “Beltane”, but most people don’t seem to know of it. It reminds me of Blood Ceremony.
And Heavy Horses. :(
"Witch's Promise" is one of my favorites, but there are so many great Tull songs that it's hard to choose.
such reacting/commenting on JT provides me so much pleasure since it reminds me my own feeling when i 1st discovered them! ❤
Ian is a genius guy!
when you go Tull you never go back!
I loved it when you said "he's so expressive", most people don't get his stage presence nowadays, and don't know what to make of it
I am a huge JT fan, and having seen Ian Anderson live on stage can safely say his stage presence is amongst the top 5 performers in the world EVER. IF (and it's a BIG if) he can be surpassed with his charisma and finesse on stage, it must only be by an Elvis, a Michael Jackson, or the greatest stage performer of all time bar none...Freddie Mercury.
Saw "Thick As a Brick", concert 6 times. I'm 75 now but if he and the band played again at that level. ..I be jumping!!!!!
The 3 greatest concerts I've attended are Santana in '70 & '71. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in '71 & '73. AND Jethro Tull those 6 times in '71 (I think that's the right years for all those. I was around 25.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?

You react I will watch. Yes, MORE JETHRO.
Jethro Tull is one of my favorite bands.

So I’m pretty sure I like watching these reactions cause it makes old me feel smart knowing all these songs.
@Vorrn that’s why I watch.

Im 59 years old. Been listening to Jethro Tull for years. Listen to Michael Burks blues man. My brother in-law.
Damn, I'm old. Saw Tull in Germany in 1971
That was a great reaction Tasha! A better live performance, both sound wise and clarity is Tull doing Thick as a Brick live in Madison Square Garden from 1978. You'll dig it.

There are so many great Tull songs. Songs From the Wood, Living In the Past, Nothing Is Easy, My God are some greats.
The PIED PIPER!! IAN ANDERSEN IS A GREAT STORY TELLER AND THE BEST FLUTE PLAYER EVER!! I seen these these guys in 1995!! Great Show!!!
I saw Jethro here in Chicago. He is the best Flute rocker ever. Badass..................
Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1701!

Everybody: You can't play flute in rock and roll...
Ian Anderson: Here, hold my beer...
YES!!! Saw them live at Bethlehem Musicfest circa 2006
Tull rhymes with dull, not tool, and it breath, not breathe. I think reviewers should always hear the original studio recording before live recordings.
I've seen them live 6 times in my life and have never been let down.. Should be in RRHF it's just wrong that they aren't. Enjoy
There's only one Ian Anderson, and only One Jethro Tull. I've been fortunate enough to have seen these great performers, and musicians 3x in Colorado USA 🎼🎼🎼 Master Musicians
Jethro Tull is without a doubt my favourite band.My God,live 1970.and Thick as a Brick live,1978 you will certainly enjoy as a fluitist.
This song was first released in 1971 on a studio released album called "Aqualung". By the time of this live performance it was about 10 years old.
I saw them live in 2004, it was every bit this awesome. they played an acoustic set that was over an hour long, took a 20 minute break, and then played an electric set that was even longer. I saw them within a month of seeing metallica.. and i was more impressed with jethro tull.
Definitely check out My God, Thick as a Brick, Bioree, Mother Goose, Black Satin Dancer, and obviously The Minstrel in the Gallery
Bioree for sure
Love Minstrel in the Gallery. Not one of their biggest hits, but a great song.
@@bostonvair true Ian Anderson
Anderson's lyrics are as great as the .music and I'm sure he would love the fact of a beautiful black flute lady watching Tull,yeah and I play a little self taught flute!
Офигеть, как с друзьями за пивом сидишь 👍 вот вы молодцы!!!
The Guess Who Live - "Undun" has a cool flute solo in it
BTW. the " handle" refers the the handle on the speed control of diesel locomotives.
So, if "someone stole the handle". you can not slow the train down..
Make sure to check out Ian's lyrics. Lots of depth and brilliant story telling.
Thanks for making me smile.
:)
Thick as A Brick at Madison Square Gardens is another excellent performance. They are superb live as Ian Anderson is such a showman
Nicely done! Tull has some of the most intelligent lyrics in rock..along with the musicianship.
Haha. I remember the first time someone told me to listen to Jethro Tull and I saw the picture with the costumes and flute and... uh, nope. A few years later I accidentally started watching this very video and wasn't close enough to the TV to turn it off but, when Ian started playing that damn flute, I was like, "HOLY POOP! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" ;-)
Older Moody Blues has a decent amount of songs with flute in em.
Jethro Tull is the name of the group. Ian Anderson is the flute player. Anderson and the rest of Jethro Tull are celebrating their 50th anniversary be performing in the UK and Australia in 2022.
Jethro Tull was a farmer in "Ye Olde England". He was famous for advancing farming techniques, some of which we still use today.
Thay belong in rock and roll hall of fame vote for them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can't ever remember thinking there wasn't a time when flute was out front in these shows! 8).
hell of an entertainer and performer.
The flute is the star of the band.
Ian Anderson taught himself how to play the flute. It may not be the traditional style, but he rocks it out.
Even if you don't react to it, be sure to listen to the studio version!
Early Genesis, Moody Blues, Traffic, and other bands used the flute as well. But no one comes close to Ian's style - he is self taught and developed a completely unique technique.
He borrowed his style somewhat from the great flute/saxophonist Rahaan Roland Kirk...I love the settings into which he injects that style.
This is actually a medley of two songs. Locomotive Breathe and Black Sunday.
Yes. When he stops singing in this video, that is end of Locomotive Breath, and the rest is (a part of) Black Sunday.
The album version has a distinctly different intro, check it out too. Much more sedate, combines classical and jazz. Great contrast to the rest of the song.
Greetings from Canada. Tasha- still waiting! Peace, love and bellbottoms.
Hi Tasha,
glad you finally found Jethro Tull - check out 'Oh God' live - now that's a flute solo.
For your knowledge here are some other bands that use the flute. Tull (Ian Anderson) plays his uniquely but others more formal. look up : The Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See - 9/10/1973 - Grand Opera House; Tim Weisberg - Listen to the City form Listen to the City Album; The Moody Blues; and the Band Traffic
Traffic was with Steve Winnwood and Dave Mason when they did 40,000 Headman great use of the flute.
Great examples of flute in rock bands. You should also mention Bloodrock and The Guess Who. And also, I think, Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Ian Anderson is brilliant on flute, he plays beautifully but also sings through it.He is also a great showman.
In a nutshell the song is about sometimes life is like a freight train out of control.
The concert was in 1971, I was there
You may not notice that he stands on 1 foot while he’s playing kind of pointing to the Pied Piper
"My God" - studio version by them is really great, and some great flute playing too. You'd love it. Imagine yourself being a front(wo)man in a band as a flute player.
Enjoyed your reactions. I wish you many years of enjoyment with your flute. Keep on practicing. Ian Andersons live shows are very full of energy. His flute playing and song writing are on a whole level of there own. I’ve meet him twice. He’s Very kind. I hope you enjoy discovering more of his music.
Excellent video
One of my favorite karaoke songs to do, and yes, I air flute
I got to see them 6 times, each album was a musical play, IAN ANDERSON IS MASTERFUL!!!!!!
You'll love Aqua Lung also... great band and absolutely unique!
Awesome song but oddly no flute parts
The song MY GOD 🔥🔥🔥
YOU NEED TO DO THE STUDIO ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF SONGS AND THEN THAT WAY YOU'LL KNOW HOW IT GOES AND WHAT CHANGES ARE MADE DURING THE LIVE PLAYS! :)
I totally agree!
You need to stop shouting.
I love watching YOU reaction to this song. You are a "little girl at Christmas time" watching the flute work, very cute !!!
Definitely MORE Jethro !!!
Oh Damn The flute,,, and band camp Oh my goodness
I saw them in Greensboro, NC in '75, and Ian Anderson destroyed a flute by slinging it across the stage where it wrapped around the leg of a piano. It appeared as though one of the keys was sticking the way he kept looking at it and messing with it. His stage assistant, who he later married, brought another out to him.
Jethro Tull reaction ? yes, anytime ! could try "My God" as your next discovery.
Skating Away, Hymn 43, Dave Matthews Band has a flute
I like this channel. Cool to see you doing reviews as well as your husband.
A few bands played around with the flute, but none as successfully as Tull. They made a definite name for themselves in the prog rock genre!
OHHHHHHH VERYYYYY NIIICCEEE TASHA SO YOU SHOULD LUVVVVV THIS GUY ( IAN ANDERSON ) AND THE BAND ( JETHRO TULL ) THEY'RE MY 3RD FAVORITE OF ALLLLLLL TIME AFTER ELTON JOHN AND NEIL YOUNG :)
try same group Thick As A Brick , the man is a genius
You have a wonderful flute teacher! Mr Anderson, starting out as a blues chap, influenced by Roland Kirk, swung into rock, then folkie rock......probably one of the first prog rockers. Still doing the business, sensibly leaving the vocals to younger band members, and doing the business very well. Wonderful video. Good luck with your flute studies.
Imagine a band that started touring in 1967 and hasn't stopped yet!
Yeah! More Jethro Tull! :)
Fab group, fantastic track.
Saw Tull during the Song from the Wood tour absolutely amazing concert, the entire band is amazing and Ian Anderson is a consummate showman!! Multi talented wrote the majority of lyrics and music, he is a self taught flutist as well!! Great video and check out all of Jethro Tull you will be equally amazed!! Do you know Heline?
I think Tull's golden age was the mid to late 70's. Maybe "Velvet Green" if you're looking for great musicianship and time signature changes...
My 1st concert...45 years ago...excellent reaction
FYI The band was named after Jethro Tull ( 1664 - 1741 ) who was an English farm implement inventor .
There are lots of examples of Ian. He was self taught . Years later he found out he did something wrong with his fingers and took lessons. He got better ! Thick as Brick

Jethro Tull is totally unique, so of course they come out, guns blazing, with a guitar solo in the first 5 seconds, that "everybody else" saves for the middle or end of a song...
Tull plays exactly opposite of the way my teacher taught us to play. What did he know! Actually he was blown away by Tull, brought the album in and played it for us. Peter Gabriel in Genesis plays flute, there is a flute player in Marshal Tucker (I don't know his name).
anything from the Stand Up album would be a good start...
Many, many Flute players in Prog since the 1960s !! : D
King Crimson
Moody Blues
Genesis
Focus and more
One Of The Best Live Bands You Will EXPERIANCE!
I was fortunate to see him at the spectrum in Philly on the same tour when their double live album busting out was recorded.a true madman on stage.
Ian Anderson on the flute. Great band.
Marshal Tucker is a southern rock band that uses a flute. Check them out.
I was gonna suggest that she check out The Marshall Tucker Band especially "Fire On The Mountain" for more flute playing in rock. 👍👍
@@edford1693 , Great song, but if you ever got to see the old Marshall Tucker Band live before any of them had passed, Take The Highway is the one song where Jerry Eubanks really goes off on the flute.
Can't you see by Marshall tucker band is one of my favorites
Marshall Tucker is to Jethro Tull what bologna is to dry-aged sirloin.
Thank you for the reaction! Ian Anderson is the flautist/singer and the band is Jethro Tull (rhymes with pull). Try Aqualung and Thick As A Brick next. They are always best live!
Wrong, my friend.
Tull rhymes with 'hull' and 'gull' -- not 'pull' or 'bull' or 'tool'.
(Unless, of course, one has some really fucked-up Scandinavian accent...)
Doesn't rhyme with pull at all. Pogue set you straight.
Hey Beautiful, Tull is fantastic very theatrical in concert. Call your flute Tull! It’s Breath, like take a breath! He is Ian Anderson the Group was Jethro Tull! This song is actually from 1971.
Welcome to the Jethro Tull (rhymes with Mull) rabbit hole. I won't add any song suggestions to the great ones others have made already. As others have pointed out Jethro Tull was the name of the band. The name was taken, oddly enough, from an english agricultural pioneer/inventor (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(agriculturist)). Ian Anderson is the name of the singer/flautist. Anyway, fun to see your reaction to this.
Great reaction! They have a lot of great songs with the flute. Ian Anderson is the flute player in the band.
Oh you chose the best performance!!!!!!
Ray Thomas (The Moody Blues) and Thijs Van Leer (Focus) are both flute players. And they're both very good.
