- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- So today I was asked to record a reaction video to Jethro Tull. Before this video I had no idea who these guys were. Their sound was definitely a sound I was not expecting to hear from it. There was a certain part of Locomotive Breath that completely blew me away... I'm guessing you already know what part I'm talking about!
Here is my reaction to hearing Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

I don't always listen to Locomotive Breath, but when I do, so do my neighbors! Ian Anderson on that flute, man!!!!
i HEAR you!!! I clicked on this video and checked the volume slider on my taskbar, then I checked the new volume slider on my Chrome screen, still not loud enough. Then I reached over and turned up my Audioengine headphone amp. Then....I opened my Equalizer Extension and made sure it was doing Its part.

I'm like that when I crank up Blue Oyster Cult.
IKR? Great for long summer drive. Peace
And all is old people were just waiting for the flute😂 your reaction did not disappoint 😂 thanks for playing this.... Jethro Tull is classic!
No doubt, great reaction.
I would like to make wallpaper from screenshots of the expressions on every reactor's face when the flute kicks in!
Absolutely
😂😂
I cracked up when I saw his reaction! lol
Watch them Live, You'll be More Impressed...
Yes them live is way better than the studio version
Yeah, flute solo live FTW.
This absolutely. Ian is a maniac on stage.
I saw them open for Led Zeppelin, Tull blew them away
Came here to say same!
Welcome to Jethro Tull, bruv!!! 🔥
Want more flute?
Hit CROSS EYED MARY next.
🪈🪈🪈💣💣💣
Yes! Great suggestion 👍🏼👍🏼
One of their best😊
Good call.
Witch’s Promise, bruv!
Not only more flute than you can handle, but there’s a WITCH involved.
How about the live 1970 footage of My Sunday Feeling - the flute shocked him, so that's what I would have recommended as a next step.
The flute; their signature sound. Who doesn’t like Jethro Tull?! Nothin better than music from the 70’s. Nobody could put 70’s musicians in a box.
You gotta watch them live! Locomotive Breath, My God, Thick as A Brick.
I agree but I don't think watching them live is as good until you know the music from the albums because that's what catapulted all their songs onto the charts. Only then can you appreciate what they do live.
Ian Anderson's flute is Jethro Tull's trade mark. "Locomotive Breath" is great. I would also recommend, "Aqua Lung" & "Cross Eyed Mary" Some of the live videos of Jethro Tull are insane.
Ian Anderson is an absolute Legend.
His singing, his Flute Playing (self taught) his on stage antics.
Have a look at the live version it will amaze you.
Still performing live today not bad for 76.
Absolutely. Sad his voice is now somewhat shot.
That look on your face when the flute solo kicked in was awesome!
Amazing!, you said medieval without ever seeing Ian. He is the epitome of a traveling Minstrel or Bard from old England. No, no one else has the chops to play a flute on a rock stage.
Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues was playing flute as early as 1964. They weren’t as heavy as Tull but most considered the Moodies to be a rock band. Also, Grace Slick played the recorder, a type of flute, on a couple of Jefferson Airplane songs.
The “medieval” observation is a good one. Indeed, Tull actually was an agriculture reformer in 17th Century England, I believe. The uploader made the mistake common with many newbies of assuming that Anderson’s name is Jethro Tull.
Peter Gabriel in Genesis played flute.
@@chuckbrown4132 - Yes, but not nearly in as many songs, though, I'd say.
I expect most listeners would not think of Gabriel as playing the flute in his songs, but everyone knows that's what Anderson did.
Ann Wilson of Heart.
Try "Canned Heat" if you want some awesome "rock flute". :)
This whole album is worth a listen. All killer. Hymn #43 is a banger.
Hymn 43 is one of my all time favorites!
Incredible song! It kills me how infrequently it has been mentioned over the years.
True and beautiful tracks like "Wondring Aloud" show their versatility.
I nearly fell off my chair laughing with the surprise on your face. He plays the flute with zero politeness. Glad you liked the song. It was one of my favorites growing up.
METALLICA lost a Grammy to Jethro Tull for best METAL Band. Nobody was more surprised than Jethro Tull.- TRUE STORY.
It wasn't just for Best Metal - it was a joint category Best Metal/Hard Rock (even so I would not put Tull in Hard Rock category either :D )
I remember the Tull advertising campaign afterwards with the tagline “the flute is a (heavy) metal instrument”. Ian Anderson is undoubtedly the force behind the band but Martin Barre’s guitar playing is utterly unique and perfect for the band. If my memory serves me right, Martin replaced a young Tony Iommi who left Tull to go off and invent Heavy Metal with Black Sabbah bringing us back nicely to where this thread started.
@@sparpant I only think Iommi was on tour with them after their first record because Mick Abrams (can't remember his name) quit. I'm not totally sure, though.
Soundgarden was up for the same Grammy that year. It was embarrassing that Jethro Tull won the first hard rock/heavy metal category against them and Metallica.
I willing watched that particular Grammy's for the fact Metallica was going to be on. When Jethro Tull won I was pissed. I wasn't pissed at Jethro Tull but at whoever made the decision to give it to them.
It's crazy how the lead singer goes straight from playing a mean flute solo back to singing like he never lost breath 🔥
Bands of the 70s were famous to take every f***ing instrument that was a round. Flutes, violins, harps, church organ, vibraphone, trombone...
One of Tull's specials was the flute and in their concert nearly every bandmember played more than one instrument. I saw them in 1978 and suddenly the drummer switched on the marimba and the keyboarder to a kind of steam organ.
It was wonderful and unforgettable !
bands of he 70's and 60's had to provide something DIFFERENT in order to gain enough attention to Radio Disc Jockeys so their songs would be broadcast
Yep.. Queen & Brian May playing ukulele, banjo and harp... lol
So many band members were classically or traditionally trained, like school band or piano lessons or concert or cultural ceremonial drumming, etc. Kids really made vocations of learning to play a class of instruments (eg all reeded instruments) so the bands could be hugely varied and know lots of different ways to add color to sound. We do lose that a little with kids not getting music in school for a generation.
Remember cowbell in don’t Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult?
@@NChant101
Cowbells are very common in a good drumset. Even Rammstein use it on the beginning of their song "Sonne".
My favorite personal rock and roll experience happened when I was on my second tour in Germany with the US Army Infantry. There was a series of repeated tours called The Monsters of Rock which would have a main headliner and several other bands on stage. I'm a huge Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osborne fan and he was a frequent one on the line up. One of the shows I attended in Nuremberg at the Sportsplatz had Jethro Tull as the headliner. Ian Anderson walked out on stage, stepped up to the mic and lifted his flute and 80,000 mfers went dead silent...and Ian milked the HELL out of that moment. He kept faking us out, drawing in a big breathe, whipping his flute up and then freezing and grinning to himself. The crowd would draw in a collective breath and then blew it out when he smiled. We probably impacted weather patterns across Europe. When he finally cut loose and the band jumped in we lost our freaking MINDS!
Thank you for your service to our country and me!
Ian Anderson, the lead singer, is probably the maddest person I've ever seen on stage.
Your reaction to his flute playing is hilarious!! 😂
It puts a smile on my face, knowing you are about to react to the first band that I can consciously remember becoming a rock fan to, but the song was Aqualung instead. Jethro Tull puts on one of the greatest and most memorable shows. Storytelling through songs is what makes Ian Anderson a legend in rock.
Saw Jethro Tull and Uriah Heep in concert back in the day
One of the best prog bands ever! The flute solo on My God is even better!
100%
🎯
Once you get the camera, this whole album should be done. So much awesomeness. Not a bad track. If not, make sure you do Aqualung soon.
And "My God"
Welcome to Jethro Tull and all the great 70's music, the best era.
Tull is one of the band's you NEED to see live to appreciate.
Saw them on Halloween night in the 70s! Excellent 👍😎
I love love love Jethro Tull. Watch it live, it is FIRE.
I didn't drive to the Tull gig...I flewt. (I'll get my coat)
So funny. Probably the best pure wtf reaction yet. Jethro Tull the only band where you are waiting for the flute drop!
There is nothing, and I mean nothing on earth like Jethro Tull live. I cannot even begin to explain the wave of feelings and emotions that cascade over you.
You have to do the whole album. It's a masterpiece.
If you don’t enjoy Jethro Tull, you are thick as a brick!
OMG! OMG! OMG! Add Rush and Pink Floyd to Jethro Tull, and you have my 3 all-time favorite bands... so awesome that you're reacting to this song.
It's like I'm reading my own comment here.🤩
The holy trinity of progressive rock!
@kyleanspach3457 What about Yes? Where do they fit in?
@@brettkenschaft4239 Yes, Genesis, Tool... all great progressive bands that probably deserve sainthood, but the Trinity is the Trinity.
@@kyleanspach3457 imo king crimson and yes are much better prog bands
I saw Tull perform this in the early 70’s and nearly jumped to the roof! So unique…so awesome! Be sure to watch a video performance. You’ll love them even more!
Me too - it was summer of 1971 and the show started with "My God" I had NO CLUE who they were and only went to the concert in the hopes of seeing a guy I liked LOL. So "My God' starts with Ian on a stool, spotlight on him, strumming a guitar and the singing the haunting opening , background dark... THEN - the lights go on, the band is exposed and the music explodes! I jumped out of my chair!! What an experience - next day I went out and bought the Aqualung album.
@@yoursoulknows6444 Time of our lives wasn’t it. 😀
@@richardhooser5096 sure was bud, sure was...
Ive always said the crue cud use a good pan fluting, aye? Gonna be fookn good day ☘️🇺🇲
In 1975 I saw Jethro Tull live with Robin Trower and Johnny & Edgar Winter. Tull had the giant "Tullavision" tv screen behind the band. Awesome show!
Seriously mate, like others have said you can't go wrong with almost any song on this album!
Keep on rockin' Molly Boy!
There's over an hour of the Tullavision tour on YT when they played Tampa Stadium in July '76.
I drove 1,400 miles to be there.
Just search Jethro Tull Tampa '76
Very cool! That's where I saw them too. At the old Tampa Stadium. I was sitting pretty far from the stage but the huge Tullavision screen behind the band gave a near front row view. Great concert!!!
@@averycausey3995 🥳
Did you happen to notice a fan up front center
about 30ft from the barrier?
The guy was standing a foot above everyone else because he had a plastic milk crate.
He beat off people for hours and never shared.
We were all the way back, 10 rows from the top just where we found a perfect breeze.
I was watching him bc I brought my camera with a rented 300mm zoom lense and wanted to get up front for pictures. GF held our spot & I told her to keep an eye on him, I was going to take pictures from there. I lit up a joint of my regular stuff and started the journey towards him.
When I finally worked right next to his left side,
I lit up a joint of my very best Columbian Gold.
(The real thing) I passed it to the people around me, then bumped him & offered him a hit.
It was awkward for him bc he had to bend down to hide while hitting. When I saw he liked it,
I said he could have the joint if I could shoot the rest of my film from his milk crate.
He protected me from people while I shot the best photos of my life.
The Tullavision was zoomed to just Ian's bug eyes for the background and I'm zoomed into him in front of it. Got to get those slides digitized.
It's my all time best concert of over 70.
@@OhAncientOne Sorry my friend but I couldn't see anything but a sea of people. I was sitting so far back that I could just barely see the band themselves on-stage. The Tullavision screen made all the difference for viewing the show. And it was a great show, easy top 5 of live concerts that I have seen.
Trivia time! Crossed Eyed Mary is on the album Aqualung, which was covered by Iron Maiden and was the B side to the their single The Trooper.
Bet you didn't know Iron Maiden were fans.
Edit: I know you're doing Locomotive Breath but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
“ Skating Away” is my favorite and also “ Living in the Past”.
Yes, I love "Living in the Past" as well. The flute is so good in that one!
Go find a tune with a bagpipe solo in the middle of a rock and roll song!!!!!! Hint Bon Scott is singing and playing the bagpipes!!!!! After all it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll!!!! 🎸 So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸
Every one of Tull's musicians are top notch. One of the tightest bands all time to see live
There was no such thing as Heavy Metal when this song was popular.
Tull released Aqualung in 1971, Black Sabbath pretty much created the genre of heavy metal in the late 60's arguably along with Uriah Heep and Deep purple... so heavy metal was a thing when this track came out.
The flute is a heavy, metal instrument :P
Not even Black Sabbath was thought of as heavy metal
new musical express classed all our 60s/70s music as alternative or prog rock and created a new "charts" listing for the likes of LedZep Sabbath Hawkwind etc it wasn't until around 1978 that heavy metal became a classification on it's own
@@lesblatnyak5947 Actually there was a rush back then to dub things heavy metal since the name was coined by one of the beat poets and appeared in Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild. Not only was Black Sabbath labelled heavy metal, but so were a lot of bands that do not seem at all heavy metal today like Grand Funk Railroad. It is the odd genre that had a name before it had any music to fit it.
I swear England is an endless font of talent. The sheer number of creative minds born on that little island is staggering.
Well when your in out of the rain for 80% of your life crazy shit happens!!! It also produced Jack the Ripper!!!
England is not an island, it has borders with Scotland and Wales.
@@truther4lifeLOL
@@truther4life That's how we built such a big empire too, we just wanted to go where the weather was better.
Especially over a brief period of time. It's terms of sheer greatness and lasting influence, it rivals The Renaissance.
5:00 That face when you’re about to say something and the flute solo comes in.😂
The live version of this will twist you even more. Ian Anderson looks like an insane person and wields that flute like a sword! The minstrel album is a full story straight through all the tracks. Have a sit and listen to it deeply at some point. It’s wonderful and spent weeks straight in the cassette deck of my car in the early 90s.
I love the flutter tongue he uses in his flute playing. I took flute lessons in elementary school so this really appealed to me.
This song was my first exposure to Jethro Tull, and it blew my mind. Ian Anderson made playing flute cool and taught us all how to play air-flute. On stage, Ian is also a consummate showman in concert. The entire Aqualung album is a masterpiece which you should check out. The Marshal Tucker Band (Southern Rock) also used a flute in a number of songs.
Yes. A bloody flute solo.
Flute solos with Jethro Tull and Moody Blues are epic!
Jethro Tull is very GOOD.... OLD SCHOOL REEL TO REEL TYPE OF MUSIC 🎶🎵🎸♥️
Another example of why the 60s and 70s produced the most amazing and innovated music in ages.
Whoever suggested this to you missed a trick if they did not recommend viewing a live version. You've just gotta choose a live performance for your next Jethro Tull reaction.
You need to watch them in concert!!
Tull, is a genre all its own. No labels here.
Great reaction! P.S. if you wanna be blown away, watch their performance of "My God", from the Isle of Wight.
It will probably melt his brain!! What a fantastic performance!!
I knew it was his first time listening…when he said “a flute solo?!” 😂👍💞
One of my favourite bands when I was in high school (the '70s)! ✌️
Best reaction to a flute solo 😂😂😂😂
Jethro Tull are the goat 🎶
Origins of the name Jethro Tull. 1800s professors name
And yes, definitely Medieval flavor absolutely incredible and unique. He's known for the flute
This is truly 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Jethro Tull needs live reactions! They’re crazy!! Your reaction is priceless!! I could listen to this a hundred times on repeat just for the instrumentation!
yeah, Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson. one of the all time greats.
Minstrel in the Gallery, Thick as a Brick, Reasons for Waiting, Fat Man, Dunn Ringill, North Sea Oil, Velvet Green, ... the list of great JT songs is very, very long. :)
make sure you check out a couple of live recordings.
Music in the 60s and 70s was terrific. We listened to such a variety of genres. Soul, rock, pop, blues, country, alternative. You name it, we listened to it!
Strap ya self in Lad ... 1963 to 1983 ... it's gonna be a roller coaster ride for ya ! ...
I LOVE watching Jethro Tull first reactions when the flute kicks in! My favorite group ever!
Jethro Tull is FULL of flute. If you want to hear Jethro Tull do Medieval sounding music, listen to their albums, "Minstrel In The Gallery", and "Songs From The Wood".
Aqualung and Bungle in the Jungle (killer lyrics)! Saw Jethro Tull in the early 1970s. What an experience.
I dont say this very often but if you want to hear this song in all its glory check out a live performance
If you want a medieval vibe listen to Minstrel in The Gallery by Jethro Tull.
Nice one! Aqualung next!
I’d be Happy with that or Cross Eyed Mary🤘
@@brianjohnston5221 Heavy Horses for me please.
Ian Anderson definitely has a unique voice, which I happen to love. But WATCHING him perform live is another experience entirely. He is such a theatrical performer who so loves what he's doing. It really is a joy to behold.
Ok watch live version now😂😂😂😂
Excited for this one!
That was an absolute pleasure to watch you listen to for the first time. When that flute solo hit, the look on your face was priceless!!!🤣
Welcome to the world of Jethro Tull. That album, Aqualung, is the same age as me, 53 years old. They recorded it at the same studio, and same time, that Led Zepplin were putting the final touches on Led Zepplin 4. Led Zepplin were in the downstairs studio and Jethro Tull was in the upstairs studio. Just a fun fact. If you want a little something heavier (no flute, though, but a kick ass guitar solo), try the song Aqualung. If you want a little more flute, try Cross-Eyed Mary. Though I would listen to Aqualung first because there are lyrical references to the song Aqualung in Cross-Eyed Mary. Another fun fact, Iron Maiden does a pretty good cover of Cross-Eyed Mary, albeit no flute. I would also suggest you watch a live cut, Jethro Tull is an amazing live band. I've seen them 8 times over the years.
Rock on, Man! ✌
This was my uncle's favorite band and he turned me on to them when I was just a little kid. I got to see them once, as a young adult, shortly after he passed away, and it was incredible. Ian's stage antics were so much fun, and I'll never forget the visual of him standing on one leg and jamming on his flute!
Try Dream Theater…. Pull me under first
Fun fact. Ian Anderson makes a great cameo appearance with Honeymoon Suite on All Along You Knew. You should check that one out
Ha! I was waiting for the flute to drop to see what your reaction was. And you didn't disappoint! Ian Anderson is basically a
one man band. He's the vocalist, flute player, guitar player (acoustic) creator and stage performer. You'll know what I mean
when you see him live. He's a wacky genius! Definitely worth checking out. You mentioned Aqualung...try that song!
One of the best Live bands I've ever seen!
The iconic image that remains from such an experience is that of Ian Anderson, standing on one foot, playing his flute. ;-]
Its best to watch their videos when they are live. Ian is so worth watching. Aqualong and Cross-eyed Mary are some other excellent choices. Glad you found Jethro!
I need to watch jethro tull live.
His stage presence is something to see, and adds to why he was so awsome
This is an album specifically built to be heard from first cut to last as they build on each other. It is about the downtrodden people you usually pass without noticing in the streets and they all have stories, Aqua Lung, Cross-eyed Mary, Nursie etc. My God on this same LP is also different and makes you think.
They were so effing revolutionary at the time. I was so fortunate to see them perform live several times back in the day, he played the flute standing on one leg. Incredible.
AQUALUNG...you'll never get it out of your head
Seen him wheeled out on a wheel chair on stage, only to fly out of it and start playing the flute.. Fantastic time to be alive.
Grand Funk Railroad
“Inside Looking Out” the live version
love that you embrace unique music, MBoy!!! that was a lot of fun!
Do a live performance you will be astonished at the stage presence.
Jethro Tull’s uniqueness makes them a rabbit hole you should dive into.
These guys rock hard bro . Started in the 60's and I've seen them live 5 times never had a bad show
Love Jethro Tull! Wearing Living in the Past T-shirt right now!
If you think it’s not that heavy and kind of chill, you’re not playing it loud enough. Crank it up! It’ll blow your socks off. 😎
You must watch their live versions. It is a musical journey of presentation and stage present….
How do you say it?
BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!
☮️❤️🙏🌏🌎🌍🇺🇸❤️☮️
I recommend you listen to Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell (the full length album version with 10m views - do NOT watch the video - it cuts out the intro).
People will love it bro, trust me. 52 million views of that song on his channel alone. And it's one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
And it has a piano intro but it's WAY heavier that Tull....Bonus fun fact: Jethro Tull beat Metallica for the Grammy for Best Heavy Metal performance up against One!!
Heres a good one for you
Band: Aldo Nova
Song: Fantasy
Please Watch The Video Version
Jethro Tull - Rock Flute solo
AC/DC - Rock Bag Pipes solo - It's A Long Way To the Top
Apocalyptica - Metal Cellos
Variety... the spice of life! 😁
🔥 Cross Eyed Mary off the same album another banger from this iconic British Band ✌🏻
Cross Eyed Mary! 👍👍👍
You should know jetro till. British band named after a 16th century poet. Aqualung was my favorite growing up. My dad's was locomotive breath. Ian Anderson plays the flute
Btw, Jethro Tull won the first ever Grammy for Heavy Metal in 1996(?) first year for the category. They beat out Metallica, among others, so theres that....
Need to listen to more of Jethro Tull. Locomotive Breath is actually one I crank up very LOUD. JT are a very well rounded band musically and lyrically
Ah, the early 70s. When I thought all music would be this epic.
Kid. All I can say is we had some incredible music, musicians, bands and variety of incredible stuff to listen to and explore. To hear all these things new? Amazing.
Why would you think this was going to be heavy metal? Jethro Tull are a progressive rock/hard rock band with an English folk music medieval twist.
Hey, how bout some Nazareth "Miss Misery " that's diffently in your wheel house . It's got your name written all over it....jus got in from seeing PLUSH an all girls band and Heavy at that, they can play too
There is a live version of this on youtube that is awesome. Back when musicians were musicians.
