The video is from the 1926 Buster Keaton film "The General." It's the first film made about what came to be known as the great railroad chase during the American Civil War. It was filmed on a logging railroad west of Portland Oregon. I great up in the area and remember some of the bridges and trestles, which are no longer there. It's a good film by modern standards.
The railroad scenes were filmed in Cottage Grove, OR, which is 30 minutes south of Eugene and over 2.25 hours away from Portland. We first get a glimpse of Cottage Grove with the 1923 film Our Hospitality. In that film, the trek in the 1820's era railroad was also filmed in Cottage Grove. Cottage Grove still celebrates the creek where the train bridge collapse is filmed in The General.
Buster was probably the greatest stunt man in motion pictures until today. Some of stunts were absolutely death-defying and wouldn't be considered today, even with modern safety equipment of which he, of course, had none.
Classic song, the piano/guitar intro and stereo imaging in the mix are stunning !!! And a brilliant film to match. . . I love the breath gasp at 3:16 during Ian's flute solo. . .

I can't even say if it is top 20. Over the decades, so many incredible songs (including this one) where written that I wouldn't even wanna make a top 100 list. From AC/DC to ZZ Top I'm not even sure if I could make a Top 20 band ranking.
An extraordinary video. The song is by itself brilliant and pairing with such a mad vid is simply classic. It exemplifies Ian’s insane creativity. Just a riveting video. Hats off to the guy who put this together. Just extraordinary creativity.
Jethro and Keaton were both geniuses... was privileged to see tull at the u of iowa in 1975. tickets were like 8 bucks and you could bring anything in ... even a beer keg
I think the film is from the 1926 silent movie with Buster Keaton called "The General". It was inspired by another movie, The Great Locomotive Chase which was based on a true event that occurried during the American Civil War.
It is also about fatalism and doom...Old Charlie refers to God. He is behind the wheel in a world full of turmoil and despair, the every average Joe is doomed and will meet his fate in the end.
I'm not sure if Ian Anderson had Buster Keaton in mind when he wrote this song, but I first saw THE GENERAL around the same time as I first heard Locomotive Breath, so it works very well for me.
~Beautiful! Hope, you aren't making my favourite songs into art just to seduce us all, are you? You just reached across a hundred years to match the frantic pace here - then as far into the future as relaxed perfection there with a Steve Miller vid. *you are precious~
It looks like Johnny Depp. I like this movie I watched it when it first came out of a couple of times. A long long time ago. It's a great silent film. Charlie Chaplin's the kid is another one.

I haven't heard Locomotive Breath in decades, my favorite Jethro Tull song! Long live rock and roll!!
Me too 👍😎🇫🇷
@@rickydlayaute5387moi aussi …😂🇫🇷🤘…..
A classic from Ian and company, the great Jethro Tull. What a great damn classic rock and roll song.

Thank you 4 the explanation.

Yes I Know-how
Special effects and sight gags were very impressive in silent movies a century ago. Buster Keaton's my favorite of that era.
Guitar work is ugh. How do you describe without feeling you left out the other instruments. Amazing song
This one will never die!
You will😂

This might be the Greatest Rock Song of All-Time by one of the Greatest Bands of All-Time. Ian Anderson Rocks the Flute like No Other!!!!!
Saw! J. T. In Concert and Play This Song Around 1971 At Cobo Hall In Detroit Mi.Real Good Concert.I Think Savoy Brown Opened For Them.Good Ole! Days.
That song is a classic. Jethro did it!

Had to watch this video, not for the music, love the live version, but for the video itself. Great pairing of the two.
Song never gets old.
L'ebbrezza di questo Incedere della Locomotiva .....DA BRIVIDI
One of the best rock songs written. Well, top 20 anyway.
I can't even say if it is top 20. Over the decades, so many incredible songs (including this one) where written that I wouldn't even wanna make a top 100 list. From AC/DC to ZZ Top I'm not even sure if I could make a Top 20 band ranking.
Rather Top 5
Jethro tull just slow down
Did you knw it is about Darwinian, Charlie, evolution?
This is really amazing. The way the music syncs with film. It's like Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon.
Who ever made this video, you are a genius. I salute you.
agree wholeheartedly
One of the best Rock & Roll songs Rock On ❤
You say it...
Dai Jethro Tull a Guccini la locomotiva è un simbolo forte..thank you for the video..

A great song. And I can relate as it involves my mother, father, and his "best friend."

I love the piano at the beginning,very elegant sounding.John Guinto
Never saw this video associated with the song. Right on Buster!
Buster Keaton and Jethro Tull, wow!
An extraordinary video. The song is by itself brilliant and pairing with such a mad vid is simply classic. It exemplifies Ian’s insane creativity. Just a riveting video. Hats off to the guy who put this together. Just extraordinary creativity.
Absolutely awesome 😎. Love Jethro Tull🥰
Great song, amazing video
Jethro and Keaton were both geniuses... was privileged to see tull at the u of iowa in 1975. tickets were like 8 bucks and you could bring anything in ... even a beer keg
Indeed, Jethro perfected the horse-drawn seed drill in 1701. I like the band too.

Genius! ✨
+Ελπιδα Κακαση Brilliant idea using this footage of an almost 100 yr old silent movie as footage, I've always loved this song to. Thank you Namaste 1
Don't thank me , I should thank you for these wonderful words.
One other quick point....Ian Anderson said in an interview that Locomotive Breath is actually about over population.
It is also about fatalism and doom...Old Charlie refers to God. He is behind the wheel in a world full of turmoil and despair, the every average Joe is doomed and will meet his fate in the end.
@@Schizosepsis jumanji anyone?

Good point!
I'm not sure if Ian Anderson had Buster Keaton in mind when he wrote this song, but I first saw THE GENERAL around the same time as I first heard Locomotive Breath, so it works very well for me.

Super.
Jetho Tull IS NOT in rock and roll hall of fame but Janet Jackson IS. WTAF?
who cares about this rock and roll hall of fame ?
thank you
Some of my celebrate Sherry’s birthday with some of favorite party kind of music...
Fun Fact: He made all the stuntwork by himself and he was a big inspiration for Jackie Chan.

Buster Keaton was 100 years ahead of his time.
It looks like Johnny Depp. I like this movie I watched it when it first came out of a couple of times. A long long time ago. It's a great silent film. Charlie Chaplin's the kid is another one.
Always makes me think of someone running the last mile of a marathon.
Southern man by Neil young, or this one has the tune of scanning escape routes as it plays just has The FAAFO , insignia All in red , 😮😮😮😢
Jethro Tull hard to beat
I have the impression that this fragment of the film was an inspiration for Zemeckis in Back to the Future lll
Listen to this in hi school on my lear jet 8 track full bore in my 1965 mustang
❤ 🎶 ❤
Buster Keaton
Is said to have filmed
the train track scene backward so he didn’t ever worry about being run over by the train.
❤❤❤😮❤❤😊❤😂rail road
That was great. OMG Where did you get that footage? I have a song called train wreck I woulds love to have the for.
🤘🏻
