Ian Anderson excels at everything - vocals, songwriting, flute, and acoustic guitar but above all, his showmanship on stage. He assembled some outstanding musicians to form Jethro Tull, the band.
This piece, for many years, during a Tull concert was the showcase for a 10 minute flute workout. Which is a great reason to watch live show at the Isle of Wight..
First time I heard this song I was blown away. And two months later I saw the band live-the Aqualung tour and they opened up with My God When the flute solo began Ian Anderson stopped after 15 seconds and said to the audience - There’s two ways to play this. Your way which is good or my way which is right. If you don’t shut the fuck up then I won’t play! The audience went totally silent. and he resumed playing. My impression was that he commanded his audience because he was serious about the audience paying attention to his music since they paid to see the show. His stage presence was captivating because you couldn’t take your eyes off him while he performed! I had to wait four years to see the next show (1975 War Child). And to this day it’s the best stage show that I’ve seen by the band. I saw every show on a once a year basis when they toured the US from 75-80 and each tour thereafter ( 82, 84, 87-89, 91-2000, and others throughout to 2018 their last show, although it was Ian’s band without Martin Barre,Andy Giddings, and Doane Perry. Tull ended in2011 while Ian continued to produce new albums Just check out the solo albums from 2000-2014. And this year he released The Zealot Gene album under the Jethro Tull name. The musicians the ones who have been with him on his solo albums since 2000 are on this album, with a new guitar player. You have a lot of material to explore and I hope you can get to it and see the tremendous variety of music from Mr.Anderson and band mates throughout their years
So glad you like the song. I heard Aqualung on the radio and then I visited my sister who had the album and she had me listen to My God with headphones and I was blown away. Two months later I saw my first Tull concert and they opened the show with My God and I was blown even more! As a result I saw them every year throughout to the 2000’s. Just an incredible band. Especially live! Please check out the catalog of the band
I'd like to see you soon, but I wonder how.... It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now.... I've got it top 10 Greatest Songs ever recorded, yet rarely recognized by others. You Sir are clearly man of fine musical taste
I always considered tull to be one founding metal blues bands. Martin barre is very distinct,and hard,and always had great tone. He is very overlooked.
Now you’re getting to the heart of Tull. Agree with you on mood and tone set. I’m just a fan, not an artist, but I think this would have made the best opening track on the Aqualung album. As if to say “Heads up, y’all. Coming down!” Hymn 43 and Crosseyed Mary are good counterparts for this song. Great job on this one! Thank you. I’m adding it to my folder of Exceptional Reaction Videos.
First off, the name of the GROUP, is Jethro Tull. The lead singer, Ian Anderson, plays the acoustic guitar and flute. "My God" is only one song off the outstanding 1971 album, 'Aqualung.' Oh, this year is the FIFTIETH anniversary! The entire record is worth a listen. The whole album tells a story. Now, the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 has a flute solo by Ian that will blow your mind!! I saw Tull live in 1978 and 1980. So awesome! 🤟✌
"Out of the box" that is a good description of Ian Anderson's writing, composing and playing, the band is tight, the transitions flawless, this band made it own mark on progressive rock, when you their music there is no mistaking it.
This is going to blow your mind...Ian Anderson didn't take any lessons to learn to play the flute. In fact, he only set out to learn how to play it like 2 weeks before playing it on stage. Everything you hear him play he basically picked up on the fly, teaching himself. As a matter of fact, he holds the flute wrong, according to those who teach the instrument. Just amazing...
He does. He plays flat fingered. I know because I studied classical flute for 9 years and was always criticized by my teachers. My feeling was who cares if I play well. He picked up flute because he didn't think his guitar work was stellar enough compared to like a Greg Lake. I think this whole band has incredible musicians. That's why 50 years later their music still holds up.
When the Band Jethro Tull started, they were basically a Blues Rock band, you can hear this in the early albums. Then one day Ian Anderson walked into a Pawn Shop and saw a Flute! Everything came together then!
"Wind-Up" is my favorite on the album - not quite as venomous as this one, but it was the song I needed to hear when I really started paying proper attention.
FYI, in case you didn't realize, the band is called Jethro Tull after 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. The lead singer, composer, and flute player is Ian Anderson. Ian also plays piano/keyboards upon occasion.
Chod, thanks again. Happy to see you took up my suggestions. I'll never give you a bad tune to react to. You can always trust me. The live performance of this at the Isle of Wight is something you should check out on your own. Its worth the effort. 😁
It's pretty funny that two reaction channels cover this song and release it on the same day. Great song. Not a song that the occasional Jethro Tull listener is necessarily aware of.
I saw Tull in early '71 on the Aqualung tour then again a few years later. By then they had become big stars and Ian was a lot more flamboyant and I think over the top with his stage presence and strayed too far from the original compositions. The '71 show was perfect. Tull and Ian Anderson are among my life's loves but he got a bit carried away for awhile.
I hear this. That concert was my first stadium concert experience. June 1971 Albuquerque NM just 17, just graduated from high school. I went to many concerts after but that Tull concert remained perfect in my mind and memory. It left me a lifelong fan.
Ian & the band are AMAZING!!!! This song is one of their Masterpiece!!!! Excellent......they did not do this song in concert when I saw them....which would have been Amazing!!!!! Love me some Jethro Tull!!!!!! Definitely among the gods of Rock n' Roll!!!!!
'Thick as a Brick' live version next. OBTW: "The flute is a heavy metal instrument." We know this to be true because Tull won a 1989 Grammy Award in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal category [not for this album or its songs, though; 'Aqualung' is from 1971]. Must be because his flute is made out of iron or steel. :-)
Oh my goodness young man , fabulous ,not just the song ,but the way you go about reacting.absolutely splendid ,love and respect to you from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍💎💎💎💎
I'm sure you probably know already by now, but just in case you don't.... The name of the band is Jethro tall and the lead singer and flute player is Ian Anderson.
Definitely should check out the live version (Isle Of Wight). The way he performs is really out-of-the-box. His appearance at that time was a perfect medieval minstrel - or Jester if you want
I think this is my Fav Tull song I'm glad you listened to the Studio version first. There is an an amazing live version it's very theatrical you have to watch it. The flute is very prominent in the live version.
Just a reminder that Jethro Tull is the name of the band, not of any band member. The leader of the group is Ian Anderson, whose flute playing, vocals and songwriting skills are absolutely masterful. It would probably be good to mention him by name on occasion.
Since you have a pretty good list going I'd like to add to it you don't mind. Minstrel in the Gallery, Sea Lion and Skating Away. Could go on but have to leave room for others, you know.
Matt Barre is a master guitarist and really added the classical and rock influences to the band. The bass and drums lay down a solid floor for them to play on.
Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick live, Madison Square Garden in NY, 1978. One of the best music visuals you'll ever react to. Ian Anderson is a character.
Proud to have spent more than 40 years with this album...Hymn 43 from this same album is a must hear too...:) The proper short name for the band is; "Tull"...:)...just sayin...
You might really like their album Passion Play. It's kind of set up as a play concept album, and technically it's all one song, though there are different sections.
He approaches these ideas from a more whimsical angle on BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE . But many fans consider the songs on AQUALUNG his most interesting and passionate .
'The Witches Promise', 'Nothing is Easy', 'Living in the Past', classic Jethro and included in my top '5', (for that moment in time) but time difference between countries, meant non-USA residents like me may have missed the deadline.😢
If you like stories and theatrical songs, you will love Get em out by Friday, The Battle of Eping Forest, and many other old Genesis songs. Peter Gabriel is a master.
You refer to Jethro as if he's the dude. Ian Anderson is the dude. May I recommend watchin' the live version o' this song from the Isle O' Wight concert in 1970...As great as this studio version is, which by the way was released a year later, the live version...which I saw in Austin Texas in 1970...is ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!
definitely check out the isle of wight performance of this song... indescribable! also.. this album Aqualung is a pseude concept Masterpice. the variety of instruments incorporated into it. the songwriting. the performances.. timeless! its beyond just rock n roll...
There are several older live concerts on RUclips. Live they are at their best. Bursting Out is a great live album. Minstrel in the gallery Songs from the wood Thick as a brick All live versions of course
Dude, there's no one in this band named Jethro. They took the band name from an agricultural inventor, from hundreds of years ago. The person you're referring to is Ian Anderson.
One of Ian Anderson's trademarks is the sounds he makes with his voice during his flute playing. Although critics make neg comments, his style is purely intentional. What you describe as RAW, justifies his style and because no other flutists do it is why we talk about it almost 50 years later. Name any other flutists the can claim that fame?
Knowing how much you like drums and keys you should try Hunting Girl or Songs from the Wood or the epic Dark Ages by Tull. So many great songs to choose from. I know you started off with some lesser known songs. But they have so many styles to choose from. That's what makes them great. Different songs, different albums for different moods. The musicianship is always great though.
Aqualung came out when I was 14, and I listened the hell out of that album. This was one of my favorite tracks, having really intense lyrics hidden in a "pretty" musical context!
So glad you dig one of my all-time favorite artists. Take the time to listen to the full length vinyl LP - THICK AS A BRICK - sides 1 and 2. It is one song with various parts, numerous transitions, and an outstanding composition with unparalleled studio recording - as Live performances are popular, but only to those who know the studio performance prior to experiencing a shorter Live attempt at recreating a portion of the original studio cut.
Nice one Chod...good tune,good reaction.....btw Ian Anderson is the father-in-law of Andrew Lincoln ( British actor,Walking Dead + more)...apparently Ian Anderson is a bit of a spiky ol' bugger(my words,not his son-in-laws!)..keep up the good work
I started a FB group : Reacting to Reactors. Post your favorite reactions, comments, polls, videos and explore the overall fantastic-ness of watching music reactions!!
Yes, i’m with you here, Chod. I heard this anew this time. It really has an incredible atmosphere, aura about it. Really strong. Hard to describe but it’s quite well done, powerful. Kind of ominous, but hard to say about what.
Ian Anderson excels at everything - vocals, songwriting, flute, and acoustic guitar but above all, his showmanship on stage. He assembled some outstanding musicians to form Jethro Tull, the band.
Leaping around in pale tights, a Renaissance white blouse, and embroidered vest, at least when I saw Tull. In the early 80's I believe
Also very importantly business. Look him up, they say he's the richest man in Rock. A very smart dude
@@richardcranium5048 Yes he said in an interview pretty much every dime he earned he saved. Very frugal. And no drugs.

Awesome band! So many great songs. “A New Day Yesterday” immediately comes to mind.
One of my favourites!!
I'd like to see you soon, but I wonder how.... It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now....
I've got it top 10 Greatest Songs ever recorded, yet rarely recognized by others. You Sir are clearly man of fine musical taste
Ian is one of the greatest story tellers. Marty Barre is so underrated as a guitarist. Live shows are truly amazing.
MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY - you're gonna thank me
I always considered tull to be one founding metal blues bands.
Martin barre is very distinct,and hard,and always had great tone.
He is very overlooked.
Remember his name is Ian Anderson!

Oh yeah Hymn 43.
@@eileendobbs8009 Hymn 43 is the perfect follow up to My God.
It is so much fun to see a new generation discovering the music I grew up with.
Ian Anderson is a master in showmanship and talent beyond reason. He is absolutely hypnotic in concert.
You can’t do take your eyes off him while he’s performing The best showmanship on the live stage!

It's pretty funny that two reaction channels cover this song and release it on the same day. Great song. Not a song that the occasional Jethro Tull listener is necessarily aware of.
They are probably the best concert band I’ve ever seen. Ian Anderson is a complete showman
Ian Anderson. I never get tired of listening to and watching him. A genius song-writer musician.
To me a very religious song shining light on the common religiosity of mankind
Live at The Isle Of Wight is Jethro Tull at their rawest .
I saw Tull in early '71 on the Aqualung tour then again a few years later.

Wow great reaction
This was always my fav song from Aqualung.
You're really sharp! The stuff you said is exactly the sounds they made. You have good musical sense.
Not too shabby on the flute for self taught is he LOL
He was self taught at this point, but later he became very educated,and played several other woodwinds.
Velvet Green Skating Away Thick as a Brick

fantastic band, Ian Anderson
is a genius seen them four
times early seventies. concerts
unforgettable.aqualung
and benefit my fave albums.
I saw Tull live three times in the 70's....some of the greatest shows I ever saw. Ian Anderson is incredibly talented.
Probably one of the best and most underated JT sings. The flute is fantastic but all the musicianship is fantastic.
Great to see you react to my favorite band ! 🤗
Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick live, Madison Square Garden in NY, 1978. One of the best music visuals you'll ever react to. Ian Anderson is a character.

Aqualung is a concept album. So this song is telling a story as part of the album.
Teacher and Hymn 43 by them are great songs.
Anything from the first 4 records... This Was, Stand Up, Benefit And Aqualung.
Jethro Tull at its best, Ian Anderson and his brilliance shines thru on this great track.
THEE PIED PIPER OF ROCK N ROLL…..SIMPLY WELL …THE BEST.
Saw them in Seattle in the 90's... and then Martin Barre here in Everett, just a couple of years ago.. Great shows... incredible music
Have never heard anything like this before or since.
You might really like their album Passion Play. It's kind of set up as a play concept album, and technically it's all one song, though there are different sections.
On the album Stand up there this song A new day yesterday great song and there is Bourrée from Bach great rendition!
Aqualung was a sort of Rock Opera
Best jethro tull song.

This is such an incredible journey
The following song..Hymn 47 ...is kind of like a book end of a lyrical theme started in My God.
Jethro Tull is the band; not the player - his name is Ian (E an) Anderson. Try the live version from the "Isle of Wight" festival (1970) and enjoy.
Jethro Tull performing Songs From The Wood, live. Check it out.

You should check out a live version of Thick as a Brick. Ian Anderson is an excellent entertainer and a brilliant front man.

“Wind Up” off Aqualung should be next. Another song about Ian’s take on religious hypocrites
If I remember correctly, Ian Anderson taught himself to play the flute. He never took a lesson.
Classic Tull.
50 yrs old and still kickin.
This was a very heavy album, even for it's time.
