I saw Jethro Tull perform this 50 years ago as a young lad, I’m so glad to see (and hear) young people appreciating it now … awesome job to you all 👍

Me too in Hull circa 1969 / 70
The fact that you did the entire 43 minutes of the song live is amazing especially as Jethro Tull rarely did the entire song live at all.

True story.
I didn't know Tull ever played it entirely live ?
@@Akamas_Nisiadis There is a live version from I think 2011ish I found on Spotify
@@Akamas_NisiadisYes, it has been done, but it is not something they did often. It is too hard to do live.
Tears of joy streaming down my face....
There is hope for humanity
Love to all of you,
Fan-f**king- tastic

@@carloribaux Hey Carlo man - hope all is well !! First saw your amazing percussion prowess when you and your friends coved , "Thick as a Brick ", while in school at the Berklee College of Music , Boston ‼️‼️ You are all phenomenal. Also love your percussion work in Switzerland.
Thank you for following my work! You rock! 😍
This is stark-raving incredible. The flute is fantastic. Keyboard, great. Guitars, great. Drums, perfect. Vocals a bit different, but still excellent. The thing I wonder, who on earth would attempt this ?? Got my answer. I've played the original 100+ times, and this is a very worthy cover. Absolutely terrific.

As another female flute player who has numerous performances of Tull music under her belt, I'd like give a special nod to Milena, but of course to all of you for a job well done!
Is this reply from Marcie Forrest ? If so. then i think this is not only a lovely compliment but great praise :)
@@tullfanll yes, it is me, Marcie Forrest (I have another RUclips channel now). Thank you for the compliment as well! :-)
@@marcieforrest6658 Paul and you join forces with this group?

@@garyjoye4868 No, Gary, this is a separate project. I just happened to find this clip by accident at the time.
As a lifelong fan of Jethro Tull , since the early 1970's , first off let me say it's rare to even find a band with even the ability to attempt Jethro Tull , due to the complexity , time signature changes , etc. Every one of these kids are very talented. Milena is especially talented on the flute , she nailed every piece. Carlo , is a phenomenal drummer. Barriemore Barlow is one of the all time great drummers , and you did remarkable work Carlo !! Excellent work by everyone. Thanks. ‼️👍♥️
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing that Ian played the acoustic part, sang and played the flute on this.
Totally❤
I like your acoustic guitar player's hotdog suit. Perfectly adds to the satirical character of Thick as a Brick as a spoof on prog rock.
I'm glad you get it!! Some people seem to be confused about that.

Incredible cover of probably the most incredible progressive rock song in my lifetime, and I am 67. I've been a huge fan of Jethro Tull since I first heard this on vinyl. Wow! Is all I can say.

70's progressive rock at its best and you guys absolutely killed it! Big Jethro Tull fan here and I am stunned at your performance. This is a very technical, difficult piece to play. Magnificent job - all of you!!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already!
I totally enjoyed this performance and I give them A for effort in tackling a musical piece this complicated and long, created at least 25 years before they were born. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already!
In the beginning I thougt it was only the first 4 minuters they would play, but hooray,, the whole TAAB unfolded in a very good performance. You could critisise elements in the piece, but I rejoiced in the enthusiasm of the young musicians. I myself was 19 years old when the LP was released and I know it by heart. Exellent job.
One point to mention if improvement is wanted: The flautist was on two legs all the time......

I saw it again, and now I notiticed Milena on one leg at 15:11, sorry aborut the previous comment😄
Best Jethro Tull cover *EVER* !! Bloody fantastic!
Thank you!! :)
I have sincerely not seen anything comparable outside of a JT performance. Great musicianship! Thanks!
@@paulchretien4995 I In no way want to distract from your reply as i absolutely love this rendition, especially as it is complete.Being a fellow Tullfan i just want to recommend the Paul and Marcie Forrest cover,(edit version) Just in case you havent heard it
@@carloribaux very accurate percussives by my estimation - BRAVO!
@@paulchretien4995 Thank you so much for you kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
I'm not usually a big fan of cover bands however..............you couldn't have possibly picked a more musically technical piece to master. Well done lads. Well done.
You have to be either crazy or really confident in your abilities to play this song. It is sort of just one long song. It is so hard to do properly, because of the length and how complex it is.
Thank you for your very kind words! One of the reaons I picked the piece for my Bachelor's concert is that it is known to be difficult. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!

I had the pleasure of seeing Jethro Tull perform Thick As A Brick, live at The Royal Albert Hall back in 1972 and can truely say that I am impressed by the ability of these young people, and am EXTREAMLY happy that 40 years on there are people who appreciate the music that was created before they were born.
Thank you for your very kind words, they mean a lot! Especially from someone who has witnessed the real deal. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for your support!
I was at that gig too - the first gig I ever went to. I was 15 and bought the album the next day. Since then had CD, download and it still gets played a lot. This version is great.
I've seen Jethro Tull 30 + times. There are, "Dead Heads," for the Grateful Dead, well, I'd be a Tull-Head. I've Never heard a band of musicians get this work done as perfectly as this. Our Tull Tribute band did the edited version, but I must admit, this is superior! It is nothing short of phenomenal. It is one of the most difficult songs to get right, ever written in Prog. Rock. Almost impossible actually. Astounding you guys!!
This comment has truly warmed our hearts. Thank you so much, we are very glad you appreciate our work!
I've seen Tull 44 times. I'm also a Tull head . Check it out the Daglo Pirates the singer sounds just like Ian Anderson
@@carloribaux Only just found this. Its fabulous guys. Are you still together/playing. Been a Tull fan for over 50yrs . This is one of the best "covers" I've heard and it must have taken you ages to get all the parts together and rehearse Any nay-sayers have no idea what it is like to be a musician trying to create a piece as complex as this.
@@carloribaux Man, I've found this video two years ago and I lost the count of times I came back here since then to experience this again. ♡ Fantastic performance! You are a star on drums, Mr Ribaux.
@@elpelp1878 Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying the video!!
I was their age when this album came out and I am blown away by this note for note cover. Amazing job.
Thank you for so much for your kind words! We tried to stay reasonably close to the original to pay proper tribute. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to my channel to support me.
Impressive, I honestly didn't think it could be played live like this, surely it took incredible amounts of rehersal to get it so perfect
Thanks so much! We only had 8 two hour rehearsals, but every one came in very well prepared every time!
@@carloribaux Individual preparation makes all the difference when it comes to making the most of group rehearsals, and this habit will (and I'm sure has) served you all well in your musical careers!

I can't even imagine how much they had to rehearse for this tune, congrats for sure
We had eight two hour rehearsals as far as I remember. And thank you! :)
That is amazing!
This is GREAT!! Much respect for and admiration of all involved. This is a very demanding and challenging song to even attempt. All of you did very well in my opinion. Thanks so much for sharing this. I went to a Jethro Tull concert ( WarChild ) but unfortunately missed out on their TAAB tour. I would pay to see your band play this tribute. JT is my favorite band. TAAB my favorite album with A Passion Play next in line. Only YES comes close to JT for me. Now I am rambling, so, enough said. Thanks again.
Audacious choice for a cover, congrats on capturing that feel and layering, although I've seen Tull do this live , its amazing to see someone else do this live.
@@carloribaux well that was really fast
I like how the drummer didn't just copy Barlow's solo he did his own thing, and it sounded very nice. Great performances all around
more of a Clive solo
I belive as a part of their 'thesis' they needed to add original version for each band member. IIRC this was a graded University program. I hope they were given top marks!
@@paulchretien4995 it's true that I was graded for it (not the others though). I got an A! There's no clear requirement to make it original, but I really wanted to make it my own, so I did!
Thank you so much for you kind words!! A big part of my education at Berklee was focused on the art of imporvisation, so I felt like I should make that part of my final concert. I'm glad you liked it! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
@@carloribaux Oh wow, 4 years later i forgot i left this comment, and you're welcome, gonna rewatch the whole thing now.
Wow! I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this album is to play, and you freaking nailed it! Awesome!

One of the most complicated peices of music ever written, but recreated here with enthusiasm and fun. Ian Anderson will be thrilled if he ever stumbles on this!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already!
Wow, hard to believe some of the criticisms on this. Carlo Ribaux you guys did a great job on this. I think people really need to take a step back and understand that Jethro Tull recorded this over the course of a week in a studio, this is a faithful cover and it's done live, great production on the whole thing. That dude playing organ is amazing, and the drummer ain't too shabby either ;) Is the flautist as good as Ian Anderson? Who cares!! She's great and a lot better looking!
Jim Eisele Thanks for the kind words :)
Jim Eisele "Who cares!! She's great and a lot better looking!" Lol She's really amazing in all senses.
ditto
She's a damn good flautist but obviously no one can do it exactly like Ian Anderson. Fantastic tribute.
F!!!ING FANTASTIC COVER , IF IAN AND THE BOYS HEARD THIS THEY WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU ALL FOR SURE
Mad respect for learning and executing this difficult piece of music! Well done!!
Thank you so much for you kind words!! Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't done so already! Have a great day :)
Maybe DWS will cover this outstanding piece too!
Who's DWS?
I saw Tull perform Brick in '72 and it was masterful. Then they did a five song encore of biggies including Aqualung and Locomotive Breath. But the fun detail of the night was before the music began there were roadies on stage in workman's overalls attending to the setup. When the arena lights came down and the stage lighting came on the "roadies" took off their overalls and it was Tull! Just as the crowd realized it and began to roar, they ripped into the first number! This Berklee group does a sublime job; kudos to them.
I went to see Jethro Tull at Bayfront Center in St.Petersburg,Fla in ‘72 and was so impressed with Ian and the band. I went to see them play Aqualung and Passion Play and every performance was superb. I’ve been a Tull fave all my 70 years. These young musicians are amazing. I throw my compliments to them all.
Thank you so much for your kindness. We are happy you enjoyed our version of this great classic!!
I'm speechless seriously...you guys are astonishing!!!
I've never imagine to see this piece played by other people that are not from Jethro Tull hahahahaha
Congratulations and thank you for the music!!!!!

The most extraordinary cover of Jethro Tull I have ever seen on the Web or live anywhere.
You make a seasoned musician like me wish he had it to do over again.
Then I would attend the Berklee school of music and seek out musicians of your caliber and talent.
You make it look easy (and it's not)!
Fulfilling a dream of doing a live performance of Jethro Tull especially that album, has been my goal.
So inspired by Ian Anderson was I, that I remained a dedicated flutist to this day at age 61.
I still play his music for sidewalk cafes, coffee shops and ice cream shops for the nostalgic adults and parents who don't mind his provocative lyrics.
You really did justice to side one and side two. That refers to the days when music came on vinyl records. "Thick As a Brick"
was referred to as a concept album. That means rock artists of the day were competing to play non-stop on each side of the record to break away from the traditional way of recording music. No dead air between songs made the album go over big at
beer and pot parties.
Aside from all that, you picked a musical genius to perform and you can take that to the bank!
Well done Berklee!!
+Kevin Labbe Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it so much! And may Jethro Tull's legacy live on forever!! :)
+Carlo Ribaux he was a pretty good farmer too.. great job yo!
+Carlo Ribaux if you cats are touring consider playing vinyl music hall Pensacola floriduh. It'd be hella crowded at a show like this.
AGREED! How they knew to choose to take this on is beyond me! Their PARENTS were half their age when TAAB came out!!
Kevin...it's doable for all of us...it just takes patience.
I’ve been a fan of JT for years and this is the first live rendition of the whole TAAB album that I’ve ever seen. Really impressive the time and effort involved in performing this complex, beautiful piece. Thank you. Got very emotional!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad we were able to strike a chord with you.

In 1972, I saw Jethro Tull perform This As A Brick throughout. Their play was beyond belief. But, you, music students absolutely simulated that perfectly. Wonderful job!!!
Incredible. I'm in awe of how much practice and dedication that took. Smile on my face for 43 minutes and 21 seconds

a classic of rock, one of the best (long) songs in the History played with skill, love and respect. I'm jealous, I'd like to sing this!
So would I. And (whisper it softly) I think I'd do a slightly better job than this chap. But it's basically great and not meant as a criticism.

As a rabid Tull fan since 1972, this is absolutely incredible! Many parts sounded so like the original, I'd have been hard-pressed to tell the difference. And even doing the fade-out / fade-in for the middle of the "record". I am stunned.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I was always sad that they didn't do the transition when playing it live. So we went for it!

WOW!!! - And I've been playing for almost 50 years... So I know greatness when I hear it! - I've seen the band "Jethro Tull" perform this song live three times (but never" "complete" like the version on this video), and other than the original band members; this is by far the best "Thick as a Brick" cover ever!
For the musician's ages and experience levels at the time, they should all be way beyond proud of themselves, especially the floutist (or "flutist" in untrained music circles) , she was beyond fantastic, and super-close to Ian Anderson himself, and that's saying a lot! 😊
(I would love to hear you all do this song now that you've all "matured more on your instruments)!

Man, this is really outstanding. I consider Thick as a Brick to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. And doing the whole thing in one go was even challenging for Tull! So hearing a group of what I assume to be music students is really impressive.

I have loved Jethro Tull since they first appeared - saw them in 1977 (Brisbane, Australia), and 1974 I took up flute - was because of Ian Anderson of course - played in local rock bands for years, in the good ol' days when pub bands made a small mint (not so now). My brother sent me this You Tube clip on Facebook, and it blows me away. What a task, learning the entire piece, brilliant musos, well recorded dynamic sound. As someone else has alluded to, so great to see a new batch of young musos appreciating this vintage music - and bringing it alive in different ways - I am a drummer from way back too, fantastic drummer on here, brilliant flautist, she did it such great justice, and a touch of her own style made it too. All good, good on you guys, would be like climbing Mount Everest learning Thick as a Brick. Made my day. Cheers from Australia. I am 68 now, and just got in another rock band after maybe 30 years away from it. Loving it again.

I think I may have commented on this video before.....but....it deserves it.....I've never seen anyone cover the entire song, and do it so well. This is really something to be proud of. I really hope that Ian, or any of the rest of that particular Tull lineup can hear this at some point.

Congrats on such a good version. I saw Tull do this full version 49 years ago in Cambridge UK and it blew my mind then. The thought that younger folk such as you guys, along with my daughters, dig it, it keeps the legend of Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson alive.

I don’t know how many times they played this together, but we were blessed that this take got recorded and we all got to hear it.
This must surely be the most complicated, intricate 'rock' composition ever recorded. I feel certain that when originally recorded it was done in sections and then spliced together. You have done the whole thing flawlessly from beginning to end and I am flabbergasted. Sensational!!!
Whatever music course you were on I hope that you were awarded top marks. Fabulous!
Yeah, you are right, it was definitely recorded in sections. The album took over a week to record.
It was written and rehearsed also while being recorded.
Anderson admitted that it was a bunch of songs stuck together as a gimmick.
I saw Tull perform the whole 40+ minutes in 1972.
@@cliverichards6282 You were so lucky to have been there live in 1972 !!!!!

This is insanely fantastic! I'm a huge Tull fan since my youth and was lucky to see them live in 1976 at the LA Coliseum. I'm also a musician relatively familiar with their music so I know how challenging their longer pieces such as Thick as a Brick are to play. The fact that you tackled the entire album amazes me! I have no idea how you got this band together but to see such young folks mastering this piece as well as an audience of young folks appreciating it is sincerely inspiring!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you appreciate our effort. I recently filmed a video telling the story of how the concert came together: ruclips.net/video/gP6TYRV5AlU/видео.htmlsi=dqATEOefVBkgGC00

I cannot express my feelings. What are the odds of having this many people gathered together have incredible talents and they all love JT and they all agree to cover this symphonic piece live and they nail the shit out of it
Yes bravo they rock the classic Tull
Thank you for your very kind words! It helped that we were all studying at Berklee College, where it's easy to find a lot of talented musicians. However, I'm still so happy how well all of this panned out. We only performed the piece one single time!

Huge JT fan. Don’t know why I didn’t stumble upon this sooner. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Impressive.

since 1972, my favorite piece of music. Great!!!
I saw them live back then, it was like a play with music.

I seriously can’t believe I just saw this! And heard! Wow! I’m just blown away. You guys are great! You put it all together so nicely! And I mean ALL OF IT! I can’t help but think that the best part about all of this is the fact that this song is not only brilliant musically but its lyrics are all about critical thinking and if there’s anything we need from the “Oh Very Young” it’s critical thinking and great taste in music to carry us all through! We STILL need to sheath our swords and lift our pens…and our voices. This is a masterpiece indeed. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! Spread it far and wide …and thick. Thick as a brick.

Interesting to find this. I was lucky enough to see Tull 3x in the 70s and once again on 7/5/19 in Indio CA. We even had a 7.1 Earthquake during the concert.
That's crazy about the earthquake. Did they keep playing?

Full respect has to go to the drummer for keeping this crazy, juggernaut epic masterpiece all together.

This really spun me out , I found Jethro out really quite early in my life, about 1988, I love to see its a thing, that other people get.
Going through these comments I get the same exact feeling. It's a true fan-community!!

Just found this video. Fantastic! Few groups are brave enough to cover Jethro Tull. From my first concert in 1973 (Passion Play plus side one of Thick as a Brick) to as recent as five years ago, JT never ceases to amaze and you guys nailed it. The keyboards, the flute, the guitars and, of course the drums. Amazing rendition. I found myself humming and singing along the entire forty plus minutes. Thank you guys!

I started getting Goose bumps at 20:45; entering my favorite part of the song! Brilliant rendition...Very brave to perform! We old Tull heads appreciate your magnificent performance of arguably one of the more complex songs of prog! Imitating, Barrymore, Jeffery, Ian, Martin and John Evan is something to be proud of...Sadly, too many will be "geared toward the average rather than the exceptional"~ ;(

@@carloribaux :)...I was still Godbluffvdgg when I posted that...Glad for your upload and I'll check to see if I'm subbed; if not, I will be...:) Thanks for the reply. Good health and happiness to you and yours.
@@godbluffvdgg thank YOU! 😄
Incredible! I never thought I'd see a full band/full cover version of this!! One problem though - the flautist is supposed to stand on one foot during the solos! ;)
lol. in her case we shall allow certain liberties to be taken, hell she can take whatever she wants and we all know it...witty comment however. Liked it.
ha ha!
she didn't want to infringe copywrite !
with boots on, of course!
Its not hard to play on one foot , (even though shes not a great flutist, but she is good ) so she deffinetelly could do this
Wow, I've been listening to Jethro Tull for over 40 years. I have never heard anyone play Jethro Tull, except Jethro Tull. The guy on vocals sounded a little flat, but that is probably because I've only have heard Ian Anderson singing this. The rest of the band played it very well. But the chick on the flute nailed it. Question, when are these guys going to do a Passion Play?
Margie Wagner whoever does that is fucking insane
She's brilliant; some of the other musicians are in the musical ballpark, but falter. She doesn't falter!
Imagine if they tried to do Velvetgreen.
Good musicianship but need a much better singer.
The band is terrific, Berklee School of music, what do expect. The vocalist gives it a good try, but at times he is a bit flat, other times it hits it.
GREAT PERFORMANCE....OF A CLASSIC JETHRO TULL SONG....!!!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad we were able to help you feel better!!
