Never pause a flute solo Highly suggest, Wind up, Skating Away…., Teacher, Songs from the Wood. Thick as a Brick, Live Madison square garden. Tull probably has one of the biggest rock and roll family trees out there. Ian Anderson and Martin Barre on lead guitar are the old timers. Seen them probably 40 times since 77.
Ian Anderson is the quintessential frontman. Bucketfuls of stage presence and energy, knows how to work the crowd, and blows a wicked flute, usually while standing on one leg. This is an excellent live performance of LB, but definitely checkout the studio version. Next Tull should probably be Aqualung, arguably their most-popular hit. Cross-Eyed Mary, Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of a New Day), so many others. "Thick As A Brick" is a 45-some-odd minute-long piece, released as a single song covering both sides of an LP. Might be hard to react, but you should definitely give it a listen on your own.
i'm a 70 year old guy from birmingham and i was brought up on this music from the 1970s. i was a very, very lucky guy considering the music that i loved was all this kind of stuff. (progressive rock). i wish i could get in a time machine and return to all this great great music. "yes" i literally was lucky. it was one great band after another. they have the nerve to call the stuff what they play today music. you seem really into this type of music which is fantastic. i absolutely love JETHRO TULL. type in on youtube (progressive rock) and you will get loads more. GOOD LUCK
Jethro Tull, (born 1674, Basildon, Berkshire, Eng. -died Feb. 21, 1741, Prosperous Farm, near Hungerford, Berkshire), English agronomist, agriculturist, writer, and inventor whose ideas helped form the basis of modern British agriculture. Tull trained for the bar, to which he was called in 1699.
Welcome to Medieval Rock! Ian Anderson is self taught on the flute. I saw Ian Anderson a number of years back when he was doing some solo touring. Rush is my favourite band but Jethro Tull is in my top five. Aqualung, Cross eyed Mary, Songs from the Woods, Minstrel in the Gallery to name a few. Cheers
The band took the name of Jethro Tull. He was an inventor and pioneering agriculturalist from Berkshire, England during the late 1600's into the mid 1700's. Ian liked history, creativity, and perfection.
JETHRO TULL, "LOCOMOTIVE BREATH". Saw this band, with EMMERSON, LAKE and PALMER. In 1997 one of the best concerts ever. Ian Anderson Singer for Jethro Tull. Entertainer , the best I've seen. more... by them: "THICK AS A BRICK", "AQUALUNG", "CROSS EYED MARY", "LIVING IN THE PAST".
Jethro Tull, (born 1674, Basildon, Berkshire, Eng. -died Feb. 21, 1741, Prosperous Farm, near Hungerford, Berkshire), English agronomist, agriculturist, writer, and inventor whose ideas helped form the basis of modern British agriculture. And you can find many old times references in Jethro Tull music - medieval, renessaince, etc.
Jethro tull is one of a kind. No other band can come close. No band can imitate or play their music. Can't beat the original. And they have released dozens of albums over the years. Agualung, stand up, and thick as a brick, are 3 of my favorite
Light up the channel with Tull. An unbelievable band with arguably the greatest frontman in the history of rock. Ian Anderson is not only the frontman but is an absolute beast on flute and scoustic guitar. He’s written over 300 songs of the highest quality and intelligence.
Hey man. Great channel. A suggestion of Jethro Tull would be a performance from their early days. 'My God's from the Isle of White festival, 1970. An awesome performance. Keep up the good work. Brett. Australia.
Jethro Tull was a British agricultural inventor some 300 years ago. The band is British prog rock (Ian Anderson actually Scotish origin) mixing different music styles including British folk music, medieval, classic etc, starting as a blues rock band in the 60s. Well worth exploring, especially the golden years of the 70s! This very song is maybe about human population increase...
Really liked your reaction! You evidently enjoyed It very much, and that warms our old hearts, seeing you young people enjoying great bands like Jethro Tull. But, like someone already Said in the comments, NEVER interrupt a solo! Espeacially when it's a flute solo by the brilliant Ian Anderson
The reason they’re called Jetho Tull is because when they started they were just trying to find their sound and they had one shit show after another and clubs didn’t want them back. Their manager would book them at the same clubs but under a different name so they would think it was a different band. At the time their manager was reading the biography of Jethro Tull (invented the seed drill), And he told the club the name of the band was Jethro Tull. That night they had a great show and got everyone loved their sound, so they just kept the name.
As someone has said, in the early days, the band worked under different names. The name "Jethro Tull" was given to them by a guy called Dave Robinson who worked for the Ellis Wright booking agency (later to become Chrysalis Records - CHRIS Wright and Terry ELLIS - get it?). After their first gig as Tull, they were re-booked and the rest is history, despite EMI putting their first single "Aeroplane" out as "Jethro Toe"!
Lyrically, "Locomotive Breath" was inspired by Anderson's concern regarding overpopulation. He explained, "It was my first song that was perhaps on a topic that would be a little more appropriate to today's world. It was about the runaway train of population growth and capitalism, it was based on those sorts of unstoppable ideas. We’re on this crazy train, we can’t get off it. Where is it going? Bearing in mind, of course, when I was born in 1947, the population of planet earth was slightly less than a third of what it is today, so it should be a sobering thought that in one man’s lifetime, our planetary population has more than tripled. You'd think population growth would have brought prosperity, happiness, food and a reasonable spread of wealth, but quite the opposite has happened. And is happening even more to this day. Without putting it into too much literal detail, that was what lay behind that song."
Amazing reaction my friend G!!...I have seen your reactions to Dimash, the best male singer of the world (In my personal opinion)...Now I want to invite you to meet, who is considered one of the Best Female Singers of the World (The best in my personal opinion)...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian.....Lara is the best female singer and performer of the world...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control...She speaks and composes in 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see covers of her songs on RUclips made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Forestella, Julie Anne San Jose, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Giulia Falcone, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Rimar, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the son>g “Je Suis Malade”....ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html
This is a combination of Locomotive Breath and Black Sunday which is the piece when the balloons are bounced over the audience. They used the Dambusters Waltz at first with the balloons but it was a bit inappropriate when they played in Germany. Live at Madison Square Garden concert 1977 is a great hour spent.
Haaa Im glad you enjoyed Tull -- Ian Anderson the vocalist is the maestro behind quite a skilled group of performers over all these many many years -- I am a huge fan and my car back in the day played Tull after Tull songs -- There is a astounding amount of songs to choose from (the first album This Was is too jazzy for me) but from the Stand Up album onward is sheer poetry and became the soundtrack of my youth -- Please try some tracks off the Stand Up and Benefit albums before jumping into Aqualung -- A New Day Yesterday -- Nothing is Easy - Reasons for Waiting - We Used to Know -- Nothing to Say -- To Cry You a Song - Teacher -- The Aqualung album is magnificent as is Living in The Past - And then there is the Masterpieces Thick as a Brick and Passion Play -- Get a few of those under your belt before skipping onward to Minstrel in the Gallery and Songs from the Woods ect---
not everyone in the 70's sat around smoking pot. Ian Anderson worked at his craft while the rest of us sat around smoking pot listening to him. (And watching him)
Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath said he learned a work ethic during his short time with Tull. Ian called for rehersals at 9 am, and fired those who weren't serious.
yeh, JETHRO TULL got the name from an old english well known at the time (farmer). the frontman singer flutist is named ian anderson. unfortunately he has now lost his voice which happens to a lot of rock band singers through doing world tours and he lost his voice touring australia.
It's basically about the Train of Life, bringing you wherever you don't want to go, much quicker than you don't want to go there. Aqualung is a good place to continue your explorations, as are My God and Velvet Green (the latter if you're into folksy erotica).
A remastered studio version (off the album Aqualung) is the way to go, if you're going to feature this song again. The song is a 'locomotive' when you hear the aforementioned suggested version.
You’ve hit on the geniuses of Ian Anderson in Jethro Tull and Jon Anderson the singer for Yes. Both artists and bands are incredible. To see Ian at his best, check out My God from Isle of White. Close To The Edge studio version of Yes.
Jethro Tull is an 18th century agriculturist. Made some stuff about, how to use limited space to maximun loot of whatever (grain) Invented a seed machine. Was (as the chef of the band pretend) choosen by theyr Manager. Like the mythos said, they were so bad in theyr beginnig, that the manager had to create new mandname for each gig, that they wood be booked at all. What makes me think, is the question, what the hell forces you, to make lateron such an "agriculturad" woody stuff, when its only the "humor" of a third person, that "stigmatize" you with such a name. Seen written its quite "rocky" 🤔 Blytwyrst🤣😬
This song is about a man whose life is falling apart around him, but life doesn't slow down for anyone, like a runaway freight train. His children leaving home one by one, his wife and best friend cheating on him, you pretty much got the gist of it. Around 7:49 I think they move on to another song, but I don't which one. It's been too long since I listened to my deep-cut Tull. :/
The song is about the problems caused by overpopulation. God (Charlie) set the train in motion, stole the handle and left, and now things are getting out of control. The change in the end of the song is because it's actually another song from a different album - a segment from "Black Sunday" from the "A" album. The name "Jethro Tull" (the inventor of the seed drill) was just random chance. The manager needed to give them a new name each time he booked them because they couldn't get booked twice. That is, until the name "Jethro Tull" came along. And so it stuck.
search the name Jethro Tull and you'll be amused by the accomplishment of the historical figure. (he invented something that has benefited mankind for hundreds of years now.)
Actually, the start is NOT "super aggressive" - a gentle, soft classical piano - moves to bluesy - then guitar .... and YOU started listening from there on in ...... Listen to the original.
Never pause a flute solo
Highly suggest, Wind up, Skating Away…., Teacher, Songs from the Wood. Thick as a Brick, Live Madison square garden.
Tull probably has one of the biggest rock and roll family trees out there. Ian Anderson and Martin Barre on lead guitar are the old timers. Seen them probably 40 times since 77.
Never pause in any kind of solo....
never pause flute solo. Jethro , the best band ever.
Told you it was worth a look. The whole album tears humanity apart for the way we treat our poor and homeless.
thanks for the request!
Ian Anderson is the quintessential frontman. Bucketfuls of stage presence and energy, knows how to work the crowd, and blows a wicked flute, usually while standing on one leg.

Bungle In The Jungle; Living In The Past by Jethro Tull.
if you like JETHRO TULL they have done loads of albums. just check for all their albums
Dream Theater - "Under A Glass Moon"... From the album Images & Words - 1992
Try My God by Tull from Isle of Wight 1970 brilliant performance.
yeh, JETHRO TULL got the name from an old english well known at the time (farmer). the frontman singer flutist is named ian anderson. unfortunately he has now lost his voice which happens to a lot of rock band singers through doing world tours and he lost his voice touring australia.

Locomotive breath is about overcrowding and the train-like progression of industrial society.

My god this is giving me goosebumps. 😁🔥❤
5:20 and suddenly the snap inside his mind happens when his previously known musical reality is crumbled up and tossed out the window...
This song is about a man whose life is falling apart around him, but life doesn't slow down for anyone, like a runaway freight train. His children leaving home one by one, his wife and best friend cheating on him, you pretty much got the gist of it.
Around 7:49 I think they move on to another song, but I don't which one. It's been too long since I listened to my deep-cut Tull. :/
Dambuster's March is the second song in this encore. I saw them several times in concert and they often did a medley during the encore.
thanks for the context here 👍
It's Black Sunday off of "A."
The song is about the problems caused by overpopulation. God (Charlie) set the train in motion, stole the handle and left, and now things are getting out of control.

much to my parents chagrin..this may cause a young person to think! ;) PAST BACH!!!!!
search the name Jethro Tull and you'll be amused by the accomplishment of the historical figure.
(he invented something that has benefited mankind for hundreds of years now.)
yeh right, JETHRO TULL was actually a medievel farmer. if you ask the question on the internet you should get the same info
Anyone who makes an argument that Led Zeppelin was one of the progenitors of heavy metal can't leave Jethro Tull out of the conversation.
Ian Anderson 👏
Watch Ian's flute solo from 1979: ruclips.net/video/WsL2I_Fwor8/видео.html
You think the video's great, I saw them live. Amazing.
Nice reaction bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Please reaction Another Day (Dream Theater) covered Alip Ba Ta ft Dimas Senopati. Thanks before 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You’re British…check out Jethro Tull…best flute player in the world bar none
Since you're going to pause the video anyway, is it necessary to ghost it too? Asking for a friend.
Actually, the start is NOT "super aggressive" - a gentle, soft classical piano - moves to bluesy - then guitar .... and YOU started listening from there on in ...... Listen to the original.
why we looking at your tv? instead of the amazing Anderson? up your game dude🤣
Population explosion, in a nutshell.
