And this song was the hook for 55 years and running. I bought the benefit album when I was 11 and then this album came out and the band exploded on the world stage. We still call him the maestro. As good a front man as you will ever see. So creative and does the lady says it comes from deep in the soul
When they weren't touring they came in and rehearsed daily. It showed in every show.They have always been a collection of extraordinary talented musicians.
Very cool seeing how much you are enjoying this GREAT talent. Ian Anderson is a one of a kind and to think He is STILL making muse even at 75. Never saw a bad show in the 13 or Tulls I have attended. Play more of them, guaranteed winners.
Not to mention that he is still performing. I live in Italy and saw the list for this year and next year him touring. I am going! I think they have 23 albums I’m not mistaken.
I grew up in the 60s in a major US metropolitan city. Got to see almost every major rock band of the era ( for $2 or $3 a show). Saw Tull 4 times. BY FAR the most entertaining , accomplished band of musicians I've seen.
Indeed!!! Interestingly, to me, of the over 600 bands of every rock genre that I saw perform live by 1980 - in theatres, arenas, & outdoor festivals - Tull was definitely the loudest! There was a memorable Tull show in an indoor arena where the band "Heads, Hands & Feet" were supposed to open. Before the lights went down, what appeared to be stage hands or instrument technicians sauntered onto stage and began sound checking and tuning. They looked odd, with hats and hair tucked up, and some type of oversize cloaks that made it difficult to tell anything about them. Eventually their tuning turned into a very good and somewhat long jam. They finished and the crowd applauded, all with stadium lights still on! Simultaneously, as they got up from piano & drum and set down guitars, all with backs to the audience, they pulled off their hats and cloaks, grabbed the instruments, and greeted the audience. It was Tull! As the crowd realized what jusr they cheers swelled into a roar! Lights went off and BOOM!... they lauched full force. Incredible! Tull played the entire night. THAT was that loudest show I mentioned above. Later we learned, from a local article, that "Heads, Hands & Feet" had a day-of-show cancelation, and that this stunt along with a double-length set including an intermission is what the band came up with to make that up to the fans. Incredible! Loved by many, yet underappreciated in the greater rock universe, Tull was far greater a trailblazer and foundational band than they are credited as.
@@GorgeousRoddyChrome Dude! They did something just like that at one of their early 70s shows. All the stage hands and techs were in matching white coveralls. After 20 or 30 minutes of setup, there were only 5 roadies left on stage. They whipped off the coveralls, and it was the band!! Loudest show I ever saw (and heard ringing for days after) was Ten Years After
@@lawrencesmith6536 Wow!!!! That show WAS early 70s!!! How funny is that?😆🤘 As you well know, back then info about bands, tours, etc was more scarce than today. The writer of our local article may have heard rumors or just guessed that the "ol' switcheroo" was related to the opening act cancellation? Maybe it was something Tull came up with for the entire tour? Or maybe the article was correct, and the fake-out was so successful that Tull continued it for other shows? Who knows? But I am ecstatic to learn about this from you.🙏 Rock on!!!! 🤘
@@GorgeousRoddyChrome Wow such an incredibly cool story! Thank you so much for sharing! I am so envious you guys got to see them at their prime like that!
Thank you for another great classic live video and reaction. Ian Anderson, one of the greatest front men ever, with a fabulous band of musicians. Jethro Tull rock, thank you God.
My God that brings back a lot of great memories,saw Tull four times during the 70s the most entertaining enthusiastic live shows that I’ve ever seen and never the same twice.
Ian played at Ils of wight to this day the bigest concert ever (500.000 people) Composer,multi instrument player and an incredigle singer .Righting all the words aswell. What a genius !!!!!!
Ian Anderson is learnt the flute with no classes, self taught and this is after only a few years, he's already mastered the flute and he's experimenting with what is possible to acheive .... absolute living genius ,,,
You can live a lifetime of music styles with Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson. Always wonderful, will take you on the best journeys. And oh boy am I so unbelievably grateful I have grown up with this kind of music!! If you're into pure beauty and sweetness, you may want to hear Requiem. Ultimate beauty.
The greatest bands ever, not just for their longevity 54 years and still going strong. Extreme diversity, creativity that knows no boundaries. Professionalism at its best. Brilliant and classic albums. Concerts that will blow your mind away. I personally witnessed 2,just unforgettable.
I love watching your reaction to Jethro Tull, and how enamored you are with Ian Anderson's wild style. A lot of us lived through all the great bands and watching this brings back memories of seeing them in 1980. Keep it up because there are so many great songs out there.
Excellent reaction from my two favorite reactors. I played the recorder in jr. high school it’s like a flute and I would play along with Tull learned to flutter my notes so during practice the teacher didn’t like when I did that she told me to stop playing it that way that is not how I taught you and I said I know Jethro Tull taught me how to play not you…….she kicked me out of the class🤣🤣🤣I was a long haired trouble maker anyhow🤣
This gave me chills. What a band, and what a unique and talented performer Ian is. It will be a very sad day when he leaves us. One of my all-time top groups. One of one.
They are very tight as a group which allows them to play on stage like they are having a jam session but they all know just when to bring it back into the center again. This gives them an ability to make every show a SHOW and have fun while playing .
I have seen these guys so many times over the years. Ian Anderson is so funny and entertaining as well as them being an amazing and unique band. Nobody else like them. Love them.
I FUCKING LOVE IT !!!..I'm 64 && Tull was HUGE for me!! ( I was band NERD who played Flute & Glockenspiel) Ian was a God to me!!was lucky enough to see them in 1974....
I've Had Great R&R Life & Met Lots of Famous...BUT Tull Gave one of the Best Times of my life...I recorded LP Thick as a Brick on cassette tape & played it for my Grandma..,She LOVED It !!....I had A GREAT Granny!!!!
The flute, wardrobe, tights, boots and famous one leg stand is all part of his stage personal... the minstrel!! Who says the flute can't rock your socks off! Saw them live...what a show. The band is Jethro Tull, thefloutist and singer is Ian Anderson. Great performance as usual!!!!!!
I have been listening to Tull since '67-'68 and have seen them live several times.There is no one better.The whole Tull show is an experience you will never forget. I continue to listen to their music every day and never get tired of it.
The dynamics! The best way to play loud is the to play quietly, too. Want to be hard? Learn to be soft. It's the range and contrast that is so effective. Amazing! Good reaction and you guys really got it. Made some great points about breaking the rules.
Prog music of the 70's .... still sounds "progressive" to this day. Jethro Tull was one of the best. very underrated band and an amazing live act.... I saw them back then many times and many more times since here in the 2000's. Ian is a born showman and a fantastic composer and musician
Tull got musician of the year multiple times in the 70's and 80's. He is so talented that most musicians pale in comparison to him. I remember listening to him on 8 track in the 70's.
Jethro Tull, One of Classic Progs very Best along with Yes, Genesis w/Gabriel & King Crimson !! 🎶 1970' When they broke out and made it Big at Isle of Wight with 500,000+ very high people😉 !! 👍
They are my favorite band and I love to watch Ian come out on stage twirling his flute. I saw him for the first time in Sept 1973 and have seen them four times and would lobe to see them again. Ian always puts on an excellent and entertaining performance. He is a musical genius.
I feel a little out of place I grew up on this I had this on vinyl and I enjoyed it and people nowadays are just now going back and figuring out that there was perfection and ingenuity in music before. It's awesome to see the younger people find Ian and enjoy him as much as thousands,,, millions have in the past. Awesome reaction...🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
You can still buy this entire gig on DVD or Blu-ray - and you should - it will bring you back to life when you feel like you're dying! I love seeing you get blown away as I have been for over 50 years. Tull are easily in my top 3 bands of all time.....
Isle of Wight was one of the best big outdoor concerts ever. I have the live sets from Tull, Jimi Hendrix and The Who on DVD. They are all awesome, plus The Moody Blues, Taste (Rory Gallagher) and Free also performed as well. Epic!
I was there at that festival in 1970 my first ever live gig I was 16 years old and a 5 day festival quite an experience for a 16 year old who had just left school. Emerson lake & palmers second ever gig also very early Supertramp and the doors were on.
I got to see Rory and Taste open for Blind Faith in 69. Have been a fan fan ever since. They did a great version of the old blues tune Ask Her For Water, sadly I don't think it's ever been recorded. Jim
You have no idea what an incredible artist the band Jethro Tull is. They have over 20 albums I don't think there's hardly a bad song on any of them. You could practically pick any album at random, and any song at random from that album, and you would be hearing a great song. Give it a shot and you'll see what I mean. Your reviews are starting to grow on me, So keep up the good work
I was at the I.O.W concert, there was a lot of big names performing their but for me Jethro Tull's performance is the one that sticks in my mind, just brilliant.
You have to see Jetro Tull live at Tampa 1976 flute solo! He is self taught and is still blowing away the classically trained pro floutists here on da' Tube! He is incredibly amazing!
'Nothing is Easy' from the same concert is a great watch as well. Also Ian Anderson's flute solo from a 1976 concert in Tampa Bay is a must watch/listen. It's great.
The first album I bought was Jethro Tull’s Benefit in 1970, when I was 16, after seeing them perform The Witch’s Promise on Top of the Pops - I’ve loved them ever since and seen them perform several times.
It tickles me that, in the midst of all that intensity, he threw in a bit of "Camptown Races" & "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"...and a sneeze! I've always loved Ian Anderson for his genius & all his bandmates for being that damn good playing with him. Jethro Tull is a one of a kind band..leaders in prog rock..with a little medievalism added. Pure genius & talent!💙☮💙
I saw Jethro Tull first time in Munster/Germany in 1973 and since then 6 more times in different cities. It was always a unique experience. My last concert visit was "The Broadsword and the Beast" in Dortmund in 1982. I didn't regret a concert
Just a great band! "You'll be praying til next Thursday, to all the Gods that you can count!" I think this band had that many great performances, and they're still at it!
Amazing performance by the great Ian Anderson! I think this song was the one that made me get a flute---I was mesmerized by this awesome musician! And, mind you, back then all I had access to were the LPs. The (Photo) stills alone were enthralling enough!
Hey, I requested this too! Lol. The bassist looks like he was inspiration for the Muppets rock band. 😂 THIS is the Tull band the way they were when I first saw them. ☮️❤️ Rock on!
Yes, no drugs. I saw them many times in the 70s. You're not even seeing the comedy of giant rabbits, scuba divers, zebras on stage during the shows. Best live band I ever saw.
I saw them do this live in Miami the same year when our band played the same stage. At the time Ian had been playing the flute for about 1 1/2 years, and he's self-taught on guitar, mandolin and flute. Quite impressive and a joy to watch.
I was lucky enough to have an older brother who was obsessed by Jethro Tull so I grew up on their music. I saw them live for their 25th anniversary tour at Brixton Academy in London in 1993. That night Ian Anderson broke three flutes, he was not a happy man !
Also in an interview, Ian talked about teaching himself the flute but later, his young daughter signed up for flute lessons and he discovered he was holding the flute wrong, so he had to learn it again, holding it properly. Love Jethro Tull!! His daughter is married to the actor who played Rick, the original star of The Walking Dead.
saw them 3 times between '71 and '75 in my early 20's and without a doubt 3 of the top 10 concerts i have ever seen. clive bunker on drums needs more recognition - one of the best ever. glenn cornick on bass - the same. rip glenn. martin barre on lead guitar - once again - one of the best ever. saw martin 7 or 8 years ago with his new band. 75 years old and still kickin' ass
I saw the Thick as a Brick, and Passion Play tours, these guys blew my fucking doors off!! UnGodly!! I think I sat through the entire concert with with my lower jaw on the floor, as a matter of fact, the drums you see me playing in my profile pic, were inspired by Clive Bunker.
Favorite band of my youth: I've been following them since I was fourteen in the early 70's. I remember going crazy because I couldn't find long-playing in any store because it was sold out everywhere in my city. This video is fantastic, unique! Happy Holidays from Milan, Italy
I'm impressed that you've listened to enough Jethro Tull to know how talented Ian is. Now a little quick history for you. Jethro Tull was a minstrel in medieval England. I've never read so, but it's possible he is Ian Anderson's Muse.
Excellent! You actually noticed that Ian cues the band with those flamboyant hand gestures - it happens too often to be coincidence! Try also ‘Nothing Is Easy’ from this same concert and/or the even more complex ensemble piece ‘Thick As A Brick’ (albeit truncated from the full forty minute plus extravaganza!) from either Madison Square Gardens or Hammersmith.
Love you guys!!! I'm 70 now, got to see Jethro Tull 12 times, 8 in the front row, right in front of Ian, the 70's were great, never stopped going to concerts, still going, I've seen everybody!! Now it's time for Liliac and Taj Farrant!!!! Enjoy!!!
"Channeling his super powers" great way of putting it! Ian, with all his human faults and imperfections, is still, without a doubt, one of the greatest showman/entertainers/artists, of the the last 100 years. It is a "suoerpower" to be this good. He's been blessed and cursed by it. One of the "saving graces" is working with some of the finest musicians of the time
I was 16 when I first bought “Aqualung” . I’m 64 now and I still play it…… there was just nothing like it, and STILL isn’t ! In my desert island top 5 albums of all time
Probably in the top 5 of guitar solos. Martin said when he was recording that track to dub in, he looked up and Jimmy Page was standing there watching the whole time.
Try the studio recording as it’s one of their greatest achievements still. All the intention of their compositions will be found there. Ian self taught? Yes. Virtuoso? Also yes, and that’s no bs.
Ian is the smoothest acoustic guitar player around! Saw JT multiple times in the 70’s. Truly one of the best live bands ever! Barrymore Barlow was the drummer, one of my favorite, as a drummer myself.
It's a life time that I've been listening to Jethro Tull, and yet 2024 I still get the chills
And this song was the hook for 55 years and running. I bought the benefit album when I was 11 and then this album came out and the band exploded on the world stage. We still call him the maestro. As good a front man as you will ever see. So creative and does the lady says it comes from deep in the soul
RIP Mr Cornick, your bass playing will always live on in the hearts of every Tull fan in the world. God bless.
Might be the greatest live performance I have ever seen. This is ELECTRIC.
When they weren't touring they came in and rehearsed daily. It showed in every show.They have always been a collection of extraordinary talented musicians.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick live 1977 is a must. please
Very cool seeing how much you are enjoying this GREAT talent. Ian Anderson is a one of a kind and to think He is STILL making muse even at 75. Never saw a bad show in the 13 or Tulls I have attended. Play more of them, guaranteed winners.
Yes. People complain about his voice but he still sings beautifully, not as strong, but still pretty melodic. Age happens to all of us.
These are master musicians 🙏
Ian Anderson is a genius. No two Tull songs are alike. You should see Minstrel In The Gallery live in Paris 1975.
Amazing talent!
Jethro Tull should be in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
@@thorolsen8057 they are(in the hearts and minds) effing LEGENDS
Saw Mistrel in the Gallery tour
Not to mention that he is still performing. I live in Italy and saw the list for this year and next year him touring. I am going! I think they have 23 albums I’m not mistaken.

Sometimes people leave out just what great musicians are in Jethro Tull. They are still performing.
Damn incredible! Glad I was blessed to live thru that golden age when absolute musical greatness ran rampant all around us.

Tull is the best concert you can go to. Total satisfaction. Awesome live.
Jethro Tull - early 18 century inventor of the seed drill.
I saw them in Frankfurt Germany in1973
My Favorite Tull performance of ALL TIME!! Thanks for your reaction! Glad you liked it.
What a Legend. Superb!! Front-man extraordinaire !!!!
Such a unique band and unique talents. I waited overnight several times for tickets to their concerts in the 70's.
You can live a lifetime of music styles with Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson. Always wonderful, will take you on the best journeys. And oh boy am I so unbelievably grateful I have grown up with this kind of music!!
If you're into pure beauty and sweetness, you may want to hear Requiem. Ultimate beauty.

Awesome reaction. Loved it.
I saw Tull maybe 6 times since 1970 at the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago. Tickets were $7 !
Last concert was 1976 at Northern Illinois University.
You guys were mesmerized. I saw Tull for the first time in Seattle in '69. I've been a fan ever since.
Your energy is awesome. Love your channel. Love Tull!

Jethro Tull should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Isle of Wight was one of the best big outdoor concerts ever. I have the live sets from Tull, Jimi Hendrix and The Who on DVD. They are all awesome, plus The Moody Blues, Taste (Rory Gallagher) and Free also performed as well. Epic!
I was there at that festival in 1970 my first ever live gig I was 16 years old and a 5 day festival quite an experience for a 16 year old who had just left school. Emerson lake & palmers second ever gig also very early Supertramp and the doors were on.
I got to see Rory and Taste open for Blind Faith in 69. Have been a fan fan ever since. They did a great version of the old blues tune Ask Her For Water, sadly I don't think it's ever been recorded. Jim
I grew up on Jethro.
This band was the 70's man, free love and LSD. Love it !!!!¡
Yes, but by the way, Ian Anderson was always sane, he spoke out against drug use.
But NO drugs ……ever !
Clive Bunker on drums!!! Best Tull drummer EVER!!
Jethro Tull does jam !!

Jethro Tull was my favorite band during my period of highschool early seventies.
Benefit, Stand Up, Aqualung are still captivating.
The first album I bought was Jethro Tull’s Benefit in 1970, when I was 16, after seeing them perform The Witch’s Promise on Top of the Pops - I’ve loved them ever since and seen them perform several times.
Benefit is one of my all time favourite albums.
Stand Up was my first one
It tickles me that, in the midst of all that intensity, he threw in a bit of "Camptown Races" & "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"...and a sneeze!

Grandaddy of beat box flute. He inspired a lot musicians.
You picked a great song to discover-what a fantastic performance! I'm one o' the fortunate ones who saw them live that same year. Amazing.
Just a great band! "You'll be praying til next Thursday, to all the Gods that you can count!" I think this band had that many great performances, and they're still at it!

They were a lot of fun in concert - their piano player does not get enough credit
True. None of the other band members did. Ian was surrounded by phenomenal musicians.
John Evans! A great keyboard player!
Also in an interview, Ian talked about teaching himself the flute but later, his young daughter signed up for flute lessons and he discovered he was holding the flute wrong, so he had to learn it again, holding it properly. Love Jethro Tull!! His daughter is married to the actor who played Rick, the original star of The Walking Dead.
The best band in rock history !
saw them 3 times between '71 and '75 in my early 20's and without a doubt 3 of the top 10 concerts i have ever seen. clive bunker on drums needs more recognition - one of the best ever. glenn cornick on bass - the same. rip glenn. martin barre on lead guitar - once again - one of the best ever. saw martin 7 or 8 years ago with his new band. 75 years old and still kickin' ass
I saw Jethro Tull in concert in 1969. They were new then. Really amazing.
I saw the Thick as a Brick, and Passion Play tours, these guys blew my fucking doors off!! UnGodly!! I think I sat through the entire concert with with my lower jaw on the floor, as a matter of fact, the drums you see me playing in my profile pic, were inspired by Clive Bunker.
blues meets rock meets classical meets burlesque!
Favorite band of my youth: I've been following them since I was fourteen in the early 70's. I remember going crazy because I couldn't find long-playing in any store because it was sold out everywhere in my city. This video is fantastic, unique! Happy Holidays from Milan, Italy
I'm impressed that you've listened to enough Jethro Tull to know how talented Ian is. Now a little quick history for you. Jethro Tull was a minstrel in medieval England. I've never read so, but it's possible he is Ian Anderson's Muse.
Actually, Jethro Tull patented the mechanicle seed drill in the late 1700s in England.
I only saw them once during the Passion Play tour. They played for around 3 hours. Totally blown away great showman
I’ve always loved Jethro Tull, especially the talent of Ian Anderson
Excellent! You actually noticed that Ian cues the band with those flamboyant hand gestures - it happens too often to be coincidence! Try also ‘Nothing Is Easy’ from this same concert and/or the even more complex ensemble piece ‘Thick As A Brick’ (albeit truncated from the full forty minute plus extravaganza!) from either Madison Square Gardens or Hammersmith.
Love you guys!!! I'm 70 now, got to see Jethro Tull 12 times, 8 in the front row, right in front of Ian, the 70's were great, never stopped going to concerts, still going, I've seen everybody!! Now it's time for Liliac and Taj Farrant!!!! Enjoy!!!
He was obsessed with perfection. Refused to allow drugs and alcohol to dilute his art.
"Channeling his super powers" great way of putting it! Ian, with all his human faults and imperfections, is still, without a doubt, one of the greatest showman/entertainers/artists, of the the last 100 years. It is a "suoerpower" to be this good. He's been blessed and cursed by it. One of the "saving graces" is working with some of the finest musicians of the time
Welcome to the world of Tull Ö=
I was 16 when I first bought “Aqualung” . I’m 64 now and I still play it…… there was just nothing like it, and STILL isn’t ! In my desert island top 5 albums of all time
Probably in the top 5 of guitar solos. Martin said when he was recording that track to dub in, he looked up and Jimmy Page was standing there watching the whole time.
Try the studio recording as it’s one of their greatest achievements still. All the intention of their compositions will be found there. Ian self taught? Yes. Virtuoso? Also yes, and that’s no bs.
Saw them in concert in 78, was overwheleming
THINK ABOUT THIS BEING OVERRRRR 50 YEARS AGO, GEEEZZZZ! LMAO 😊 IT'S INSANE EVERYTIME I SEE IT 😊
First time I saw Tull in 1975, blew me away. I then saw them at least twice a year until Crest of a Knave tour in NY, Jersey, Connecticut and Florida
The chord progression is gorgeous. Very mysterious.
Ian is the smoothest acoustic guitar player around! Saw JT multiple times in the 70’s. Truly one of the best live bands ever! Barrymore Barlow was the drummer, one of my favorite, as a drummer myself.
