  • Amazing set of Jethro Tull Music by the legendary guitarist who originated it and when they performed this song it was pure magic. The lead singer even resembles a young Ian Anderson!

    The best part is how much genuine fun Barre is having. I always thought stylistically he is a great guitarist and this tells you how much of Tull's iconic sound was Barre.

    • @professorstokes6596
      @professorstokes6596 Месяц назад

      I always thought of him as being rather underrated. Of course there were a great many iconic guitarists in that period. JT was also a little quirky too so maybe they didn't resonate as broadly but still to this day I love them. So essentially British ... and nobody has made a flute a central musical focus in a rock band ...before or after. So thankful to have been there when they were in full stride. God, how I love music.

      @@Cigarsnguitars I always hear him as a cross between Cat Stevens and Ian Anderson, but I do hear the Phil Collins, now that you mention. I'm just glad Barre has found a solid vocalist who can actually carry it, some of the vocalists on his previous solo projects have been pretty disappointing.

We couldn’t do Aqualung because no one could play that solo! But it was a great time to grow up in, musically at least. Wouldn’t trade it for any other.

      The studio version absolutely. Along with Leslie West's on "Theme From An Imaginary Western.

    I've seen Martin with Tull many times since the Crest of a Knave tour, which was my first time.
