A little story that may amuse you. At one point many years ago in the USA Whitesnake were touring in support of Tull. Lead singer of 'snake in an interview complained that Tull would gig several nights in a row hardly having a night of. He finished his comment about this with the words "and Ian Anderson did it all on one bloody leg!"😂. The image of him on one leg playing is iconic.
Originally this was off the Divinties album ... humbly subtitled 12 dances with god? One thing that one of the former band members said about Ian and Jethro Tull is that it was a lot to do with tricky time signatures. This song in particular squeezes in a few extra notes on the flute, ( at 5:28 or so, just when you later stopped and reviewed ) and then the strings go off in a different rhythm ... this is a little different from the version on the Divinities album itself. It's a pretty good album, especially for someone with a classical bent. And the different flutes on this album were mostly bamboo flutes.
thank you heline for this video. ian anderson has always been one of my most favorite musicians since the 1960s. hes like a great wine. just keeps getting better the older he gets. one of the worlds greatest showman.
I m so happy to hear anyone enamored by Ian Anderson. I am a amateur flutist and have been in love with Jethro Tull since I was 12. I think he’s a marvel especially considering he traded in his guitar for a flute and never took lessons. He has a true gift considering this instrument is not n easy on to master. It’s a little harder than it looks. Especially the piccolo, . Thanks for sharing. We would love to hear you and your versions of any Jethro. Flute solo.
This piece original comes from the Divinities album, which was Ian’s second solo album (although Andy Giddings contributed massively in terms of arrange it for an orchestra and, indeed, provided most of the orchestral sounds on his keyboards). The smaller flute is, I believe, a bamboo flute, which Ian started using a lot of at the time this piece was written in the 90s. This song is allegedly inspired by Tull’s former bass player Dave Pegg (who is great) who, being fond of his beer, was often “in the grip of stronger stuff’. At least this is what Ian once claimed, although he may have been having a joke at Pegg’s expense. If you like this, you really should listen to the whole of the Divinities album. It’s fantastic.
You would probably like The Secret Language of Birds. It is one of his solo adventures with lots of flute. I enjoy your reviews of Tull and other flutist, although I don't play flute. Thanks.
You probably have heard of the JT album "The Minstrel in the Gallery". Whenever I see Ian in a setting like this, I think the Minstrel in the Orchestra. 😂
My favourite Tull album is a classic case in 1985 with the London Symphony Orchestra. I bought several vinyl copies at the time. In the 1990s he learnt from his daughter who was taking flute lessons that his fingering was wrong so he took time out to learn properly and correct it.
I heard/read that same story somewhere. Makes sense, Mr Anderson was self-taught the flute, so how would he know his fingering was "incorrect" unless someone told him? And who would tell him Tull was already a huge success?
Pibroch (Cap in hand) is one of their most peculiar songs in which the flute features quite a bit. A song that goes from serious to sweet to hard-rock to melancholic, it's one of my favorites, although I don't know if it's a great display of the flute in an of itself (I don't know much about the technical aspect of music, so I can't judge if what he's playing is easy or not :P). Great work!
I love to see your mind at work when you're analyzing a piece you haven't heard. The little thinking faces you make when you're listening. You can see the excitement on your face. Thank you and keep up your amazing works. I've fallen for a flutist.
Ian Anderson used a bamboo flute in the middle part of the piece. He used them for a couple of years in the mid-1990s. The flutes were made in United States by Patrick Olwell, according to his Jethro Tull website.
You have a glowing aura that just goes on forever, Heline. I needed that today. The States bite right now so it's wonderful to have your soft smile and Funky Fruit Flies give me peace and laughter. Ian has maybe 5 solo albums, This song is on Divinities: Twelve Dances with God (1995) and I actually surprised my parents with it one Christmas.
As usual, great post! Heline, I've always been a fan of Jethro Tull and Mr. Anderson. I'm now hooked on your posts as well. I realize that what you and Mr. Anderson have in common is not just the flute, but a love of music and of playing! I am sure that if Jethro Tull never happened, Mr. Anderson still would have been wandering around Scotland playing music all these years. Likewise, if RUclips didn't exist and you weren't as good as you are, you would still be playing everyday. That is a wondrous thing.
I'm not quite sure how I arrived here but I'm glad I did, not only are you adorable but the love and appreciation you have for your craft and those who also play is all over your smile when you hear these pieces of music for the first time. now subscribed and looking forward to working my way through your videos. Have a great weekend Heline x
I read somewhere that, when his daughter was learning to use the flute, he noticed his digitation wasnt the right one, so he started practice again. Maybe thats the reason why he use the pinky more in later videos
I am so privileged to have seen him live a couple of times. I don´t know how far back you go with JT, but I love that smile of enthusiasm and ... admiration/appreciation? Ian Anderson is truly a great musician. Cheers from Iceland!
I think the timing thing you're hearing is a bit of swing feel.He even recorded Greensleeves with it. An interesting tune to check out is called Dot Com recorded live around 1999 playing an Indian flute.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I have been a Fan of Jethro Tull and especially Ian Anderson for about 40 years but this was my first time seeing this video. I have been enjoying your reactions to one of my musical heroes very much and always look forward to the next.
I like the way she looks when she's listening to music, particularly Ian Anderson, and I LOVE looking at her hands. They look like art. Sculpted art. Also, she's just seems like an all around pleasant person. I've subscribed. Oh and her videos are interesting. And that's why I watch. 😊
Excellent video and reaction Heline! Ian's playing goes very well with the orchestra and the arrangement is interesting. As I've noted before, musicians from Tull's era were so good at both entertaining and showing various styles.
One of the most beautiful flute solos from Ian, ever. Not sure is the perfect choice for Heline, as the flute presence is quite limited, but a truly outstanding number nonetheless.
He often does alternating bars of different time signatures, such as 7/8 and 9/8, which he will occasionally explain before playing it live. The song Boris Dancing is actually titled after the idea that it is difficult to dance to and may result in injury. He used various versions of this joke for years, as intros to songs like these as well as Eurology and even going as far back as Living In the Past.
I went to see black sabbath in evansville. Ozzie was sick. They asked if we wanted our money back or see this group called jethro Tull. Thank god we stayed. This guy came out in a long coat and flute. Got on the piano and did a complete flip off of it and started playing his flute. Thanks Ozzie 4 getting sick.
MIss Heline it is very wonderful that you are doing these Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull videos. I enjoy the commentaries and hearing you play as well. There is one other rock group that used classical music, Emerson,Lake & Palmer. One of their albums was Pictures at an Exhibition.
I do hope you read your comments Heline! I have been a fan of “Jetro Tool” (I just love the way you say that) for over 50 years now, now I think you are becoming a JT fan so I have subscribed. I love your reactions to Ian, he is bonkers but I have met him many times and he is a really nice intelligent guy and would love you to reach out to him I’m sure. I first saw them play in 1968 in my home town Bristol and last saw them play in 2018 on their 50th anniversary tour. Bristol was sold out so I drove to Newcastle so see them, a 980km round trip! Can I say I love your innocent honest and refreshingly different reaction to JT and I love your video clips. Keep posting your vlogs Heline, we love them! John
Heline, I love your RUclipss !!! (I've been a Tull fan since 1970. In '78 got to meet and talk with Ian, Martin, and Dave Pegg. One topic was the Red Rocks riot, which I attended as my first concert in '71)
Always a pleasure to see your smile and your enthusiasm for music out of your realm. You're reaction videos are the best. I also love having my coffee Saturday mornings and listening to your show.
I can't play a single note on flute (i'm a no-more-than-decent bass player myself), but this is perhaps my favorite RUclips channel right now. The genuine joy in Heline's face always makes my day better, and more Jethro Tull is never enough. Thanks for the heart-warming content and sincere enthusiasm for the music, Heline
It's nice to get the perspective from an actual musician/flautist other than some random person from the street. Keep up your good work, intelligent reviews based upon real world experience, bravo.
So glad to see this one added to the channel and appreciated the extra commentary on seeing Ian's progress. Ian's use of syncopation has always been one of my favorite parts of listing to Tull. "In the underpass, the blind man stands. With cold flute hands. Symphony match-seller, breath out of time" Looking forward to the next one!

There is a film called An Audience With Ian Anderson where he elaborates on the "pinky" issue. Perhaps you would like to watch it. He says he's got a deformity and it abandons him or the finger come when he doesn't expect it. So, have a look
Heline - Jethro Tull did an entire album with The London Symphony Orchestra. It’s all about previous songs. I think you would love to compare the originals versus the orchestral versions.
Heline It's a India bamboo bansuri made by Patrick Olwell , wooden Irish flute maker USA.He no longer makes those so the ones out there are very sort after. Ian has a fondest for Indian music and used it a lot on the JT Album Roots to branches
Really enjoy these Jethro Tull videos, it's what brought me to your channel. A comparison of old and new would be cool! Intrigued by an arrangement too...👍
I always enjoy your videos Heline, but especially when you are reacting to Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull vids. 😎👍 I'd love to see the old vs. new comparison vids you mentioned, and your own compositions of classic Tull songs too. Pibroch was mentioned already, that's seems to me like a super tricky and challenging one, I'd love to hear your take on it. 💖
Nice to see you back with Ian Anderson,Heline. With the orchestral tour check out "Calliandra Shade" (The Capuchino Song). On Rupi's Dance check out "Raft of Penguins" which is Ian's irreverent tune about playing with Classical musicians. Nice to see you settled in your new place. Enjoy!
I have some catching up with your videos. I am subscribed, but forgot to make the bell ring. Darn! This was great. I know the piece well, but have never seen Ian do it with orchestra. The album ist is from is a sort of world music album of instrumental pieces called DIVINITIES, very different from a lot of Tull work so more! More! MORE! ✋💕
Ian said when his daughter came home from flute lessons, he noticed she was being taught to use her pinky, he realized he was playing the flute wrong and began to correct his method of playing.
Hi Heline! I just recently stumbled on your reaction videos and I'm really enjoying them. 😁 In relation to your comments about the fife: did you know that Ian Anderson used the Indian nose flute for 'The Whistler' (from Songs from the Wood)? I was lucky enough to get to see/hear Tull perform this live (and I don't know if there are any live videos of it), as he stated at that time that he hated that flute! Might be worth a listen 😁 Very best wishes to you
If you do arrange any Ian Anderson music, you must include at least one one-legged stance. It's the law.
You tell her! 😂
Lol well I guess I'm gonna have to agree.
Agreed 👍
It IS the law.
I agree
I love the way she says Yetro Tool.
Cute accent!
Yank react to guys make the same error. By the way, he was using his ‘pinky’ more than you’d noticed earlier than these later performances.
Heline has definitely turned into a Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull fan girl. 😁
Yes
A little story that may amuse you. At one point many years ago in the USA Whitesnake were touring in support of Tull. Lead singer of 'snake in an interview complained that Tull would gig several nights in a row hardly having a night of. He finished his comment about this with the words "and Ian Anderson did it all on one bloody leg!"😂.
The image of him on one leg playing is iconic.
My favorite band. Ian was beyond talented.
I went to this concert, and it was GREAT. By this time, you can see Ian has come in to his own, and mastered the flute.
Originally this was off the Divinties album ... humbly subtitled 12 dances with god?
One thing that one of the former band members said about Ian and Jethro Tull is that it was a lot to do with tricky time signatures.

Ian is a marvel to me. His showmanship embraces the viewer--he loves the music, not himself. Love your channel, Heline! See you! :) MU.
Hi Heline. I’m so glad you like Jethro Tull. Ian is a marvelous performer.
At the risk of being a nag, I hope that you get a chance to meet him and talk shop sometime.
Ian riffs as much and compellingly as any rock guitarist, he is incredible
Ian Anderson is a gift that just keeps giving, a treasue. ❤
Jethro tull will blow you away in real life his energy is off the charts 110% the whole show!
love to see your enthusiasm, keep smiling Heline
Yup. Heline is definitely a fan.
thank you heline for this video. ian anderson has always been one of my most favorite musicians since the 1960s. hes like a great wine. just keeps getting better the older he gets. one of the worlds greatest showman.
The studio version is very similar because he used the synth to create the orchestral sound behind it, the violin was played by another artist.
I m so happy to hear anyone enamored by Ian Anderson. I am a amateur flutist and have been in love with Jethro Tull since I was 12. I think he’s a marvel especially considering he traded in his guitar for a flute and never took lessons. He has a true gift considering this instrument is not n easy on to master.

You have a great smile, I enjoy your reactions when you hear something interesting that probably most of us missed.
In 1969, I first heard the album “This Was” and got hooked. Now I enjoy my 32 studio made Jethro Tull CDs. You still have to listen to a lot :-))
This piece original comes from the Divinities album, which was Ian’s second solo album (although Andy Giddings contributed massively in terms of arrange it for an orchestra and, indeed, provided most of the orchestral sounds on his keyboards).

One of my favourite albums of all time.
"Baker street muse" my favorite off minstrel.
"Budapest" from Crest of a Knave. Very beautifully written and arranged.
Yetro tool.
Gets me every time love it.
Yes, please may she always pronounce it just like that :)
I thought we were going to see clips of the band Yetro Tool. 😅
The band’s first release “Aeroplane” was attributed to Jethro Toe.
True story.
@@stevejones8660 Jethro Toe?
i think that the greatness of Ian Anderson is in the making of vocal melodies and the flute impro.
My favourite Tull album is a classic case in 1985 with the London Symphony Orchestra. I bought several vinyl copies at the time. In the 1990s he learnt from his daughter who was taking flute lessons that his fingering was wrong so he took time out to learn properly and correct it.

excellent player
No one, absolutely no one play's a flute like Ian Anderson! Long live Jethro Tull! 😀
This happens in so many Ian Anderson songs. I can imagine the guy asking himself:
- So, what time signature should we use for this song?
-Yes.
Song is about vices. Not vice grips but the other stuff. Written about his old bass player David Pegg.

Your excitement for the little intricacies is so cute
The little bit of flutter tongue adds a new twist. His daughter plays flute and taught him the proper fingerings a few years ago.
I like when rock/pop performers work with an orchestra. Was worried we were not going to see the one leg stance, but he got it in his performance.
Something about it makes me feel like it's made for a movie 🍿
I've been listening to Jethro Tull for 40 years +. They are the greatest band ever
Excellent video and reaction Heline! Ian's playing goes very well with the orchestra and the arrangement is interesting. As I've noted before, musicians from Tull's era were so good at both entertaining and showing various styles.
Heline. Here's a beautiful piece, with Ian Anderson and a string quartet, playing 'Life's a long song' I hope you like it. ✌️🐝 ♬

One of the most beautiful flute solos from Ian, ever. Not sure is the perfect choice for Heline, as the flute presence is quite limited, but a truly outstanding number nonetheless.
Listen to Moths from the Heavy Horses album
He often does alternating bars of different time signatures, such as 7/8 and 9/8, which he will occasionally explain before playing it live.

Great review of this one Heline this is another one of my favorites by ian.
Yes, Heline is awesome. It's funny she is so young but enjoys this music. She giggles when Ian dies his thing.
It is kind of interesting to contrast your first JT reaction where you weren't sure what to think to now where you are a total fan girl
You need to watch 'Skating Away' live,the one where Ian wears a red bowler hat,to realise his ability as a writer,singer and musician,and showman.

This was from Ian Anderson's album Divnities. Very interesting and enjoyable album.
When Ian starts play he and the flute became one.
Really enjoy these Jethro Tull videos, it's what brought me to your channel. A comparison of old and new would be cool! Intrigued by an arrangement too...👍
Today is going to be Jethro Tull day.
The bamboo flute in the middle is a bansuri.
For a fairly recent one, with a good long flute solo, I would suggest "Locomotive Breath" Isle of Wight 2015. Awesome!

Nice to see you back with Ian Anderson,Heline. With the orchestral tour check out "Calliandra Shade" (The Capuchino Song). On Rupi's Dance check out "Raft of Penguins" which is Ian's irreverent tune about playing with Classical musicians. Nice to see you settled in your new place. Enjoy!

Hi Heline! I just recently stumbled on your reaction videos and I'm really enjoying them. 😁
In relation to your comments about the fife: did you know that Ian Anderson used the Indian nose flute for 'The Whistler' (from Songs from the Wood)? I was lucky enough to get to see/hear Tull perform this live (and I don't know if there are any live videos of it), as he stated at that time that he hated that flute!
Might be worth a listen 😁
Very best wishes to you
Divinities is such a powerful album.... one of my IA solo fav's !
Good review and analysis.
Play "My God" from Acqualung
Camel(Andy Latimer,guitars,flute) and Solaris(band from Hungaria)
