I'm 67, and believe me when I say, we had the best music during the 60's and 70's. There were no boundaries in music or color lines! Peace from Northern Michigan.
Exactly. Stuff wasn't broken down into "genres". It was just music and either you liked it or you didn't. Don't like the song/artist currently playing on the radio? No problem, just wait a few minutes and boom... a banger that suits your soul. Between all of the genres and tech, the music industry has become so fragmented and spiteful that it's not fun anymore
For sure. Just the variety, Pink Floyd to Beatles, Doors to Jethro Tull, Dylan to Hendrix. Santana, Joplin, Stones. Used to get high on music. I think this Pegasus guy just got high on our music right in front of us.
Hello to northern Michigan! There is no place better to listen to the music of Jethro Tull, Genesis, et. al than northern Michigan. My family had a place on a little lake near Kalkaska when I was young where I listened to music until dawn throughout my teen years. My first album purchase was Aqualung in 1971 when I was 12, and I remember thinking, "I love the songs Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, but how could the rest of the album be good? 50+ years later, I still marvel at how excellent the entire album is. Enjoy your retirement years in God's Country!
And that's part of the encore... after more than an hour of that level of energy, passion and great music. No autotune, no lip sync, played live. Tull ROCKS. THAT's what it's about.
I'm glad you discovered Tull but you haven't even scratched the surface of their music. Keep expanding your Tull experience.You won't regret it.From someone who has been listening to them since 1968.
Watching this in 2024 makes me realize just how much I took for granted all the great musicians from the 60's, 70's and 80's. They made it look so easy.
In an interview, Ian Anderson said he originally wanted to be a guitarist but after hearing Eric Clapton play, he decided he needed to choose a different instrument. Thus, was born Rock Flute.
It was said in an interview that when Ian Anderson went back to where he had gotten the guitar and explained why the guitar wasn’t working he was told he couldn’t get the money back for the guitar but they could work a swap. Ian was told that anything would be considered and asked “What do you want?” Ian is supposed to have replied that he wasn’t sure but the way things were going it needed to be something small cuz he was probably going to be living in a box in the alley. And so was born a rock and roll flute player.
Actually the Pied Piper was Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull was the man who invented the seed drill in The Agricultural Revolution of the mid 17th century. The band was also stacked with brilliant and passionate artistic and extremely accomplished British musicians.
I’m almost 70. Grew up with this stuff. In those days, studios didn’t have the tight controls they have now. The artists could do whatever they wanted. The music stood or fell on its own merits. Trust me, there was some real crap that fell hard. But there were masterpieces too.
Am 70 also. Saw Tull the first time in spring of 1970. Seen them a few times since and once a young U2 opened for them. I've seen Ian Anderson in the past few years his flute is still great. I think Rick from Walking Dead is his son-in-law.?
At 72 I remember seeing Jethro Tull at the forum around ‘71-‘72. I witnessed a little green Elf jumping around the stage. And unknown to me, a Hendrix,Page, Beck, Carlos,and God lover of the blues/rock guitar, I was unaware of the genius guitarist Martin Bare. Along with the Queen guitarist, Bob May, who also is a an astrophysicist even existed. Teaming up with the genius of Ian Anderson, together they were a force to be reckoned with.. The talent of the 60’s and early 70’s guitarist who came from “across the Pond” playing unadulterated Blues without the restricted volume control, or the 11:00 pm mandatory quitting time. The Allman brothers Live at the Fillmore album said what is in my heart. “PLAY ALL NIGHT” while playing Whipping Post and the homegrown slide guitar king Dwayne Allman, were unforgettable.. I lived the life of Sex-Drugs-Rock and Roll as so many of us had done. Peace😊
There was no better showman/entertainer than Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. To top it off he's a genius songwriter and musician too. Best shows I ever saw.
Jack in the Green on the album Songs from the Wood.... Ian Anderson plays every instrument on that song! It's just him! And every vocal! What I would give to sit and talk with him or to watch him work!
This took me back, waaay back. At the Coliseum Madison WI, I believe 1972. Black Oak Arkansas opened and Jethro Tull was headliner. What a great time in my life. Good Ole Rock and Roll!😊
His reaction when Ian Anderson starts playing the flute is priceless. Welcome to one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I've seen them in concert twice.
I'm glad to hear you open up ! I'm a 71 year old musician ( still working ) and as you age you become more of a sponge and less repellent to other sounds . Especially if you are working a certain sound . You have to put 100 % into it or it does not happen . I built a small studio and now with a 3 year old grandson , I am working on a young children's project ( The Excavator Song , Blippy , Waltzing Matilda , and my grandsons favorite , " Yellow Submarine " . I played blues and rock . I write Lennon / McCartney via Martin . Your at a great age ! But remember , " Your old enough to know better , but still young enough to question yourself " ? Loved your reaction !
I'm 74. Had the pleasure of seeing these guys probably 40 times through the decades. Ian Anderson the lead singer, flautist and songwriter still performs today! Their catalog is huge and awesome. Try on 'Thick as a Brick' Live at Madison Square Garden. The guitarist Martin Barre still tours as well! Their concerts have always been and still are pure pleasure! Thanks! Enjoy some more Tull!!! The story is his spin on population explosion. I've always considered their music as 'thinking mans music'!
@fredjohns1869 I only saw Tull once, and it was this tour with the big balloons. I took my wife and it was at the St Paul Civic Center. At one point, I ran up to the main hall and put a dime in the pay phone to call my friend Joe. He answered and I let the phone hang while I ran back to my seat. The next day, I called him and he said he heard about 3 songs before someone must have hung up the phone. lol
It was pretty cool, like clockwork each year, Tull would return to the Garden (as well as Yes, with their rotating stage, making every seat a good seat)
Martin Barre, the lead guitarist recently retired from the band after 50 years with them! I got to see them several times too. Jethro Tull is best done live!
I'm 72 yo and was introduced to Tull my freshman year in college. They immediately became my favorite. Saw them 6 times in concert. Ian Anderson was the best. Locomotive Breath is my all time favorite song. The meaning is about population growth and it can't stop. I still listen to them today
I'm just grateful that we have such a good record of it. Think of some 15 year old 50 years from now seeing this. It'll seem like from another universe.
🇦🇺 got the best of the world in the 60's , 70's & 80's and the things that we got to see on a music video show called Countdown hosted by Molly Meldrum . He was recognised by all the world's best bands and got the best interviews from them .
I'm 73, we connected with JETHRO TULL, back in the day. Ian Anderson really made the group extraordinary. About "No way to slow down", it's a metaphor for a self-destructive society. It's a statement about the direction things are going. (At least, that's what we thought.)
Very true...50 years later look where we are. I'm 64 and the 60s and 70s were like the middle ages compared to now. It was a Renaissance for music back then to know where it is all but dead. Preprogrammed, autotuned, banal to keep us dumb, stupid and focused more on sex than love. I saw Tull in 75, unfortunately it was at Shea stadium (not a great venue with planes flying overhead) plus it started to rain and they started to get electrocuted and had to cut the concert down quite a bit. It would have been the best I had seen if it was indoors, but that distinction goes to Led Zeppelin at MSG, two years later. Tull still gets my old bones moving. Cheers!
This is how the professionals did it in the 70s. Live performance, playing their instruments, singing live and with no mistakes. They were well practiced and talented musicians. The best of the best never let an audience down. They knew that their fans loved them, bought their records and paid good money to see them live. They never let us down. Jethro tull is one of those bands. Let me know who could jump around on stage and then have the strength of breath to play a flawless flute solo. Ian anderson is a true athlete and just a phenomenal performer.
Growing up in the 60's, 70's & 80's I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull & Ian Anderson thirteen times. Absolutely one of the best "shows" ever. Ian was an amazing performer that always delivered.
The look on your face when he started wailing on that flute was priceless! So glad you are getting introduced to all the things I grew up with musically. Maybe you weren't open to it when you were younger but look how open to it you are now. Good on you, mate!
Rock n Roll uses all instruments and Jethro Tull is one of the worlds best flautists. That's the beauty of rock and roll. Born of rhythm and blues, country, and soul. The greatest gift my mother gave me was an appreciation of music. She was a concert pianist and would play classical giants for fun and then switch on the FM station for the Jimmy Hendrix concert being broadcast. How blessed I was to have her. It's never too late, and quit talking like 40 is old. I started a Renaissance Faire and joined a rock band at 40! Blessings, and enjoy your family tonight!!!!
"Jethro Tull" is the name of the band, the flautist is Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull, the actual person, was an 18th century British gentleman farmer who invented the seed drill.
My mom was into classical and brought that appreciation to me (caught myself listening to the Serious channel with Brams, Hayden, and Mozart today) and popular music from the 50s-80s. My dad is into rock from the 50s and 60s, and pop from the 50s-80s. My older Brother was into 70s-90s rock/punk/metal, and some pop-rock. Mom and bro could hit some Jazz too. That was my music influence growing up. My tastes cover all that and more. 🙃
The Jethro Tull concert I saw at the Brighton Pavilion just before they broke through is still the best concert I ever went to. 72 now and remember every sublime moment.
68. Lived this incredible music/ era! His flute was an extension of his body! You’re experiencing it now! Good for you- Expanding your Horizons, my friend.
The sixties and seventies was an era of experimental, groundbreaking music and there were thousands of exceptional talent performers. There were so many quality phenomenal and unusual acts. That is why people in my age group feel that no time since then has there been the talent we got to love.
Sorry 80s yes, we had MJ, all the bands you had, we heard in the background so we loved them, then came the 80s, we had to change some stuff in society, like pink floyd sang about, or MJ, we had whitney Houston, 90s brought fire Hip Hop and old school rap . Then it died.
Ian Anderson is Scottish, like myself and I call him the mad minstrel. His music, much of it, has the feel of Renaissance and Celtic tones. If you want to be impressed listen to the album Living In The Past, Songs From The Wood, Stormwatch, Heavy Horses. Ian knew he wasn't going to be a great guitarist so he picked up the flute and learned it on his own. His signature stance is playing the flute on one leg. His older brother was head of the Scottish Ballet theater and taught Ian some moves which he incorporates in much of his performances. He's wild-eyed, does lots of crazy stuff and is fully animated on stage.
Jethro Tull - one of the best progressive rock bands of the 70's. They have a band of excellent musicians and they make incredible music. other songs, Bungle in the Jungle, Aqualung, thick as a brick, etc.
You have to hear it at concert volume. You have to feel it in your chest. You have to see everyone moving to the beat. Those concerts were seared into the memories of everyone there.
Jethro Tull is the band, the band names were often supplied by their booking agent's staff, one of whom, a history enthusiast, gave them the alias Jethro Tull after the 18th-century agriculturist. The name stuck because they were using it when the manager of the Marquee Club liked their show enough to give them a weekly residency. (thank you wikipediea!) 40!
The Aqualung album was Jethro Tull’s best album in my opinion. I lean strongly on my opinion. It’s their most popular album too I believe. Ian Anderson is the name of the flautist who is the lead singer. He is an Atheist and he proudly flaunted it in the Aqualung album. But, he sure does tell a great story and play a great flute!🪈 He is the great storyteller and it surely is his claim to fame and he wields it with fury and might! I saw them in concert in the early days when they came out with the Aqualung album. This album put them on the map. It pays to be an old fart where rock and roll music is concerned.
You're Still ALIVE ! You can take this music from the past and incorporate it into the music you do now! It's what all musicians have done for hundreds of years. I'm impressed that you're even listening to it ~ thoughtfully! It gives me hope for the future of music and for those who decide to create it. Bless you ~
The craziest thing about Ian Anderson is that he was self taught on the flute. He just made up how to play. His daughter was learning the flute and asked him why he was playing "wrong". He eventually took lessons and learned the "right" way.
TULL!! NOBODY since can rock the flute like Jethro Tull did. We who grew up in the 60's and 70's were indeed blessed with stuff later generations never got to experience. I appreciate that you can look at something with new eyes and you are serious about being open to what you are hearing and reacting to it without bringing any preconceived notions in. Keep it up!
Just turned 74 and saw Tethro Tull twice--first at Red Rocks in Denver when we were tear-gassed. Next year he came onto an indoor stage with a gas mask and flippers on his feet. We loved this group oh so damn much.
We were tear gassed for Alice Cooper April 1978 at the Saint Paul Civic Center. Then again same year in July for Rolling Stones Some Girls tour. Stones riot was outside the civic center as the civic center too small for ticket demand 18,000 - 20,000 seats. Ah the good old days.
Jethro Tull was an early 18th Century English agriculture pioneer who studied novel plant propagation methodologies. Ian Anderson merely co-opted the name for his band. Whether Anderson was playing (singing?) his flute, or swinging it like a police baton, dull moments were few and far between. For the full treatment, check out their "My God".
I saw them live in June 1972. Ian Anderson is one of a kind. Blessed as well to have grown up in this era. And able to see all the greats live for $5-10.
Ian Anderson. The flute guy. In the day. Was fire. I saw them twice. Your reaction. Was priceless. Had me laughing my butt off. One of the best live performances. Ever.
Jethro Tull is a deep rabbit hole. An excellent band. my suggestion from them is Thick As A Brick live at Madison Square Garden circa 1977. The train is a metaphor for life.
Young man you're never too old to change, this is classic Prog Rock and there's lots more of it out there. BTW I'm 74 and was there at the beginning and still rocking. Heavy Horses is full of great tracks.
I'm 73 now, which means I heard all of this when it was brand new, and saw much of it live as well. And I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see a whole new generation discovering the music that was imprinted on us in our teens and 20s. Tull was a big band in its day, but it doesn't have the name recognition today of, say, the Rolling Stones. So that makes this reaction even more special to me. My dream is to see guys of your generation creating new music inspired by our music, just like the Stones and the other groups in the 60s were inspired by old American blues...which by the way was only about 30 years in the past at that time. Please keeping digging into this music, and reacting to it.
So, I was 18 and my team had just won debate and interpretive reading championship for the state of Alabama. There was a Jethro Tull concert that night but it was sold out. We were staying at a Holiday Inn hotel where all rooms faced outwards. About 1 am I needed to get away from the party and sat outside next to the door watching a fierce thunderstorm- as in lightning hitting the swimming pool. 2 doors down a man comes out, sits down and pulls out a flute. He then proceeded to play music to/with the thunderstorm. Couldn't believe my luck in getting a private impromptu show from Ian Anderson. It was a memorable night. The photo shoot for the album Living in the Past was done partly outside the hotel next day and the pics are in the album.
I had a similar experience.Was chilling with my cousin at Lacy park .Ian was sitting against a tree playing his flute.Like our little private concert .
The song is about a man going through life experiences. can't stop life, nor will it slow down. Kids leave at different times (stations) and some major marital problem. All in God's hands.
I'm 52 and thankful for a mother who got me hooked on Jethro Tull when I was a teenager in the late 80's. He's not Robin Hood. He's the Bard! Love the reaction! You need to react to "My God".
It’s not too Late. Jethro Tull is still touring. You will need to go to Europe to see them and Ian Anderson is certainly past his prime but he can still play man. By the way the name of the band “Jethro Tull” was to honor the early 18th century agriculturalist and inventor by that name. He is considered the father of modern industrial agriculture as his emperical methods and his invention of the first seed drill revolutionized agriculture and dramatically increased crop yields. He is legitimately one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution. This is also where the band had the idea to dress in early 18th century garments while performing. I saw Jethro Tull in the late 70’s and what a performance. Didn’t sit down much. If you were to draw a list of all time greatest Rock frontman then Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson would be on that list. He is so multitalented. He should have been in the Rock n Roll HoF a long time ago. Though truth be known Jan Woerner and his New York clique of Rolling Stone acolytes made a living joke of the Rock HoF a long time ago. They continuously induct musical artists who don’t play rock music while ignoring some of the best rock groups and artists that ever performed. Like Jethro Tull.
Jethro Tull is the name of the band. Ian Anderson is the singer and the flautist. They have a very unique sound. You need to listen to the album Aqualung. It's fantastic. Start with the first cut and work your way through. And pay attention to the lyrics of all of the songs. They're deep.
Ian Anderson and Jethro tull...was couple of meters away from the band in 81..am 70 now Great experience of my life...thanks for playing it... great trip down memory lane...
You need to hear the band called Focus,which does a song called Hocus Pocus, another guy that plays the flute. You need to check that band out.The singer is insane .lol BTW... Its on the Midnight Special tv show back in the early 70's.
'He is dripping with authenticity'...were very true words. Appreciation for offering that one. Jethro Tull is considered a legendary band. Ian Anderson was often referred to as the Pied Piper of the Rock world. Again, very true words. They do have other pieces to listen to: Bungle in the Jungle, Aqualung, Cross-Eyed Mary, Thick as a Brick...etc. Excellent choice for sharing this one.
First time I heard Locomotive Breath it blew me away I seen Tull about 6 times amazing each time. I am soon to be 71 and l been listening to the best Rock and Blues Jazz ever created, my life will be ending and I have no regrets of my generation at all.
I’m 67 and started playing guitar at 58 after kicking myself for all those years before. I’m in a band now and it’s the best therapy you would ever have. Having a bad day, just pick up the guitar and start noodling and your worries disappear. 🎸👍😊
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull brought so much musical pleasure to my life. Groups like this do not exist anymore. They were the greatest rock bands to ever live. I thank God it was in my time. What a blessing.
Good on you for appreciating what you missed out on from the '70s and '80s, but now appreciating as quality. Its never too late my friend, from Sydney Australia (65 years young) :)
Gary is right. We didn't know how good we had it in the 60' and 70's. The variety and the talent level was insane. We thought that was normal. All I can say is today technology has trumped talent. Creativity seems to be stifled for the safe, commercial bets. We all lose if that continues to pervade the music industry.
Actually, I DID know "how good we had it". What other generation had that much variety forming a single genre?!! Santana, Chicago, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Frank Zappa, and on and on. Such variety that all played on Rock FM Radio. It was a great time to be young and alive. 🎉 ❤
There are no boundaries in music; just different flavours. I’m a 61 year old Canadian classic rock fan, (and big fan of Jethro Tull), but I’m also crazy about the blues, R&B, and some classical, reggae, country, etc. I’m so grateful to have grown up in a time when the music world was absolutely exploding with exciting new talent and new sounds. I grew up constantly exposed to an incredible variety of musicians who were all possessed by an obsession to create the best possible music they could, thanks in large part to all the great talent shows on TV, especially the immortal Mr. Ed Sullivan, who was a gift to the world. Music is the universal language that builds bridges and breaks bread. Exposing ourselves to different kinds of music feeds the soul.
Yes way my friend. Yes way my friend. You have now witnessed one of the great bands of all time headed up by Ian Anderson; one of the best composers/musicians who ever performed. It's pure genius that I fortunately saw live a number of times. Every time my face melted. Thanks for jumping into the amazing Jethro Tull!!
I think my favorite Jethro Tull song is "Living In The Past". Speaking of... I am so happy that I grew up with this music and is part of the history of my life. It takes us back to a time when it really was better, and I'm glad I was around in this era. I was born in 1966, so I was just a kid in the 70s, but I grew up with this music. We only had only like 4 tv channels but we still had Midnight Special, American Bandstand, Don Kirshner, Soul Train, etc... all kinds of shows. I mean The Carpenters even had a variety show. I was 5, but I was going to marry Tom Jones. Talent was everywhere. Then I hear Rush in 1979 & they've been my favorite band since.
I listened to Jethro Tull in my teens and loved them. But even then, it wasn't for everyone. I do appreciate the fact that you admit that life, and your music, could have been fuller if you had been open to different music. But the great thing is...its never too late.
I've been a fan since I was 15 years old...now I'm 53 and I still listen to Ian Anderson and celebrate him....he is the greatest flute player in the whole world👍👍👍😉😊

Aye, lad, when music was real.
You've just been Tulled. Welcome to the club.
👍👍💯💯
Hi, Tully ! 🖖🏻🤌🏻🙏🏻
I still have the 8 track!
You're getting the picture! Tull, Ian Anderson, has a way passing along old fashioned values and beliefs without you even knowing it.
AAAAMEN!!!
And that's part of the encore... after more than an hour of that level of energy, passion and great music. No autotune, no lip sync, played live. Tull ROCKS. THAT's what it's about.
So grateful to have lived when music was not autotuned. What a voice.
Ditto
You..are WITNESSING ARTISTS! REAL..ACTUAL MUSICIANS! And he has an interesting attitude. RELIGION..;)
Aqualung!!! And away YOU GO!
And tickets to their concerts weren't the price of a down payment on a house!
Yes! This will blow your mind.
Ian Anderson: composer, singer, acoustic guitarist, flutist, madman: Probably the best Rock frontman ever.
I couldn't agree more Genius is a word that springs to mind .
Don't forget farmer, sheep and salmon if I remember correctly.
Flautist FFS!
@@G8rquest Back in the 80s I had a VHS tape of "Fish,Sheep,& Rock n Roll.
Really interesting
I agree with that
I'm glad you discovered Tull but you haven't even scratched the surface of their music. Keep expanding your Tull experience.You won't regret it.From someone who has been listening to them since 1968.
Should listen to studio Tull, the live performances are for the fans but it's best to hear the studio versions first. ....I think anyway.
Watching this in 2024 makes me realize just how much I took for granted all the great musicians from the 60's, 70's and 80's. They made it look so easy.
without autotune
me too!
I'm glad that I got to see some of them in the 70's and early 80's including Jethro Tull.
❤ Seen in concert and have albums so close to stage seen his flute with his spit in his crystal flute Awesome 😎😎❤❤
We grew up with instrumental lessons, church choir starting at age five, school bands, orchestras, and garage parties and bands by age twelve.
In an interview, Ian Anderson said he originally wanted to be a guitarist but after hearing Eric Clapton play, he decided he needed to choose a different instrument. Thus, was born Rock Flute.
And yet, in my opinion, Ian Anderson's acoustic guitar work is phenomenal! Some of his melodies are among my favorites.
Anderson is a very underrated flute player.There were other bands around that would play flute,but not to the extent of Jethro Tull
@@stevematthews641There’s that word again…
cool story. and funny.
It was said in an interview that when Ian Anderson went back to where he had gotten the guitar and explained why the guitar wasn’t working he was told he couldn’t get the money back for the guitar but they could work a swap. Ian was told that anything would be considered and asked “What do you want?” Ian is supposed to have replied that he wasn’t sure but the way things were going it needed to be something small cuz he was probably going to be living in a box in the alley. And so was born a rock and roll flute player.
You are learning now young man. I’m proud of you.
Thanks !
Yea, I’m old!
Jethro Tull the Pied Piper of Rock n Roll !!!!
Ian Anderson; Jethro Tull is the name of his band.
@@jmilton5842 Thank You for the name but I was referring to His Act on Stage.
Wasn't Crispian St Peters the Pied Piper??? 🤔
ruclips.net/video/RFdSOppmkNw/видео.html
Leading us all to a better place
Actually the Pied Piper was Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull was the man who invented the seed drill in The Agricultural Revolution of the mid 17th century. The band was also stacked with brilliant and passionate artistic and extremely accomplished British musicians.
No auto tune , no prerecorded bullsht , just live, pure unadulterated talent
I’m almost 70. Grew up with this stuff. In those days, studios didn’t have the tight controls they have now. The artists could do whatever they wanted. The music stood or fell on its own merits. Trust me, there was some real crap that fell hard. But there were masterpieces too.
Am 70 also. Saw Tull the first time in spring of 1970. Seen them a few times since and once a young U2 opened for them. I've seen Ian Anderson in the past few years his flute is still great. I think Rick from Walking Dead is his son-in-law.?
Jethro Tull always left it all on the stage. One of the most under-appreciated bands ever.
yup. They put on one helluva show.
I saw them in the 70's. One of the best. Ian leaves it ALL on the stage!!❤
I am 72 and STILL love Jethro Tull music !! Grew up with this stuff !!!!
Me too brother.
At 72 I remember seeing Jethro Tull at the forum around ‘71-‘72. I witnessed a little green Elf jumping around the stage.

@@nathanmizrahi409572 & reading you loud & clear Nate ~
I'm 63 amd grew up with these bands. Wonderful days my friend.
There was no better showman/entertainer than Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. To top it off he's a genius songwriter and musician too. Best shows I ever saw.
One of the 3 greats for sure, the others being Jim Morrison and Robert Plant!
Tull is a deep rabbit hole of pure genius and musical excellence for decades.
A true bard.
Was? They are touring Europe now! Put out an album last year
Jack in the Green on the album Songs from the Wood.... Ian Anderson plays every instrument on that song! It's just him! And every vocal! What I would give to sit and talk with him or to watch him work!
What are you witnessing? You’re witnessing Jethro Tull. This is real music.
This took me back, waaay back. At the Coliseum Madison WI, I believe 1972. Black Oak Arkansas opened and Jethro Tull was headliner. What a great time in my life. Good Ole Rock and Roll!😊
His reaction when Ian Anderson starts playing the flute is priceless. Welcome to one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I've seen them in concert twice.
Not much I love more than seeing the look on the face of someone watching Ian Anderson perform for the first time
I'm glad to hear you open up ! I'm a 71 year old musician ( still working ) and as you age you become more of a sponge and less repellent to other sounds . Especially if you are working a certain sound . You have to put 100 % into it or it does not happen . I built a small studio and now with a 3 year old grandson , I am working on a young children's project ( The Excavator Song , Blippy , Waltzing Matilda , and my grandsons favorite , " Yellow Submarine " . I played blues and rock . I write Lennon / McCartney via Martin . Your at a great age ! But remember , " Your old enough to know better , but still young enough to question yourself " ? Loved your reaction !
I'm 74. Had the pleasure of seeing these guys probably 40 times through the decades. Ian Anderson the lead singer, flautist and songwriter still performs today! Their catalog is huge and awesome. Try on 'Thick as a Brick' Live at Madison Square Garden. The guitarist Martin Barre still tours as well! Their concerts have always been and still are pure pleasure! Thanks! Enjoy some more Tull!!! The story is his spin on population explosion. I've always considered their music as 'thinking mans music'!
73, San Diego Sports arena! UNBELIEVABLE!
@fredjohns1869 I only saw Tull once, and it was this tour with the big balloons. I took my wife and it was at the St Paul Civic Center. At one point, I ran up to the main hall and put a dime in the pay phone to call my friend Joe. He answered and I let the phone hang while I ran back to my seat. The next day, I called him and he said he heard about 3 songs before someone must have hung up the phone. lol
It was pretty cool, like clockwork each year, Tull would return to the Garden (as well as Yes, with their rotating stage, making every seat a good seat)
Martin Barre, the lead guitarist recently retired from the band after 50 years with them! I got to see them several times too. Jethro Tull is best done live!
i AGREE with the Thick as a Brick pick! It's incredible!
Jethro Tull is one of the goats!! Ian is such an amazingly talented artist! Definitely check out Aqualung next!!
I'm 72 yo and was introduced to Tull my freshman year in college. They immediately became my favorite. Saw them 6 times in concert. Ian Anderson was the best. Locomotive Breath is my all time favorite song. The meaning is about population growth and it can't stop. I still listen to them today
You can't fathom the amount of talent and great music we had back then. This will never get old.
I'm just grateful that we have such a good record of it. Think of some 15 year old 50 years from now seeing this. It'll seem like from another universe.
Us 1960-1970's children had the privilege to enjoy the best music of all times same time it was produced.
🇬🇧
Yes we did. 😊 🎼
Not just the USA, we here in Canada had the same music. Some great artists came out of Canada as well.
@@monicaseghers-york3562 Ever heard of a tiny little nation called Britain? They might just have had a tiny little bit to do with it.
@@monicaseghers-york3562oh yes, Gordy, Joni, Neal, Geddy, it goes on and on
🇦🇺 got the best of the world in the 60's , 70's & 80's and the things that we got to see on a music video show called Countdown hosted by Molly Meldrum . He was recognised by all the world's best bands and got the best interviews from them .
I'm 73, we connected with JETHRO TULL, back in the day. Ian Anderson really made the group extraordinary. About "No way to slow down", it's a metaphor for a self-destructive society. It's a statement about the direction things are going. (At least, that's what we thought.)
Very true...50 years later look where we are. I'm 64 and the 60s and 70s were like the middle ages compared to now. It was a Renaissance for music back then to know where it is all but dead. Preprogrammed, autotuned, banal to keep us dumb, stupid and focused more on sex than love.
I saw Tull in 75, unfortunately it was at Shea stadium (not a great venue with planes flying overhead) plus it started to rain and they started to get electrocuted and had to cut the concert down quite a bit. It would have been the best I had seen if it was indoors, but that distinction goes to Led Zeppelin at MSG, two years later.
Tull still gets my old bones moving. Cheers!
What did you just witness??? Music from the 70's. It was all around us and we loved it!
This is how the professionals did it in the 70s. Live performance, playing their instruments, singing live and with no mistakes. They were well practiced and talented musicians. The best of the best never let an audience down. They knew that their fans loved them, bought their records and paid good money to see them live. They never let us down. Jethro tull is one of those bands. Let me know who could jump around on stage and then have the strength of breath to play a flawless flute solo. Ian anderson is a true athlete and just a phenomenal performer.
Love what you said.
Growing up in the 60's, 70's & 80's I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull & Ian Anderson thirteen times. Absolutely one of the best "shows" ever. Ian was an amazing performer that always delivered.
The look on your face when he started wailing on that flute was priceless! So glad you are getting introduced to all the things I grew up with musically. Maybe you weren't open to it when you were younger but look how open to it you are now. Good on you, mate!
Rock n Roll uses all instruments and Jethro Tull is one of the worlds best flautists. That's the beauty of rock and roll. Born of rhythm and blues, country, and soul. The greatest gift my mother gave me was an appreciation of music. She was a concert pianist and would play classical giants for fun and then switch on the FM station for the Jimmy Hendrix concert being broadcast. How blessed I was to have her. It's never too late, and quit talking like 40 is old. I started a Renaissance Faire and joined a rock band at 40! Blessings, and enjoy your family tonight!!!!
"Jethro Tull" is the name of the band, the flautist is Ian Anderson.
Jethro Tull, the actual person, was an 18th century British gentleman farmer who invented the seed drill.
@@TheBarkinFrog you are correct. Please excuse
PROGRESSIVE ROCK USES ALL INSTRUMENTS, NOT STRAIGHT AHEAD RNR.
My mom was into classical and brought that appreciation to me (caught myself listening to the Serious channel with Brams, Hayden, and Mozart today) and popular music from the 50s-80s. My dad is into rock from the 50s and 60s, and pop from the 50s-80s. My older Brother was into 70s-90s rock/punk/metal, and some pop-rock. Mom and bro could hit some Jazz too.
That was my music influence growing up. My tastes cover all that and more. 🙃
I love the look of complete shock and respect on your face…
He was the Pied Piper of Rock N Roll, everybody loved him.
The Jethro Tull concert I saw at the Brighton Pavilion just before they broke through is still the best concert I ever went to. 72 now and remember every sublime moment.
If you want the essence of Jethro Tull, play any songs from either the "Benefit", or "Stand up" albums.
.and where's my Tim Buckley-"Sweet Surrender?"
I saw Jethro Tull in 1972 too at Birmingham Town Hall. They were great.
68. Lived this incredible music/ era! His flute was an extension of his body! You’re experiencing it now! Good for you- Expanding your Horizons, my friend.
Not only is he bringing the flute.but he's doing it at a level that most pro flute players today still aspire to
The sixties and seventies was an era of experimental, groundbreaking music and there were thousands of exceptional talent performers. There were so many quality phenomenal and unusual acts. That is why people in my age group feel that no time since then has there been the talent we got to love.
Sorry 80s yes, we had MJ, all the bands you had, we heard in the background so we loved them, then came the 80s, we had to change some stuff in society, like pink floyd sang about, or MJ, we had whitney Houston, 90s brought fire Hip Hop and old school rap . Then it died.
Ian Anderson is Scottish, like myself and I call him the mad minstrel. His music, much of it, has the feel of Renaissance and Celtic tones. If you want to be impressed listen to the album Living In The Past, Songs From The Wood, Stormwatch, Heavy Horses. Ian knew he wasn't going to be a great guitarist so he picked up the flute and learned it on his own. His signature stance is playing the flute on one leg. His older brother was head of the Scottish Ballet theater and taught Ian some moves which he incorporates in much of his performances. He's wild-eyed, does lots of crazy stuff and is fully animated on stage.
One of my favourites is Broadsword and the Beast.
Martin Barre is one of the most underrated guitarists ever!
except for tull fans
Jethro Tull - one of the best progressive rock bands of the 70's. They have a band of excellent musicians and they make incredible music. other songs, Bungle in the Jungle, Aqualung, thick as a brick, etc.
Correction, IMHO, the best prog band ever.
70's MADE prog rock. You have Jethro Tull. Yes and Rush
.....let me bring you songs from the woods...... (grin)
My intro to them were the Stand Up and Benifit albums, later came Aqualung, Living in the Past..
"What am I listening to?" You're listening to Rock 'n Roll HISTORY, baby!
Rock and Roll history!!!
Just one of the many "talking points" on the imagination, creativity, and talent from that time period in music.
You have to hear it at concert volume. You have to feel it in your chest. You have to see everyone moving to the beat. Those concerts were seared into the memories of everyone there.
Best groups best music ever ever ❤️ Im 78 now still love it all we vere so Lucky
Jethro Tull is the band, the band names were often supplied by their booking agent's staff, one of whom, a history enthusiast, gave them the alias Jethro Tull after the 18th-century agriculturist. The name stuck because they were using it when the manager of the Marquee Club liked their show enough to give them a weekly residency. (thank you wikipediea!) 40!
I love it when people think Jethro Tull is a member of the band. It just makes me smile inside.
How’s you post this 2 weeks ago 🤔
@@Bethzie39 Being a member
They actually kept the name because they were invited to a blues festival when they had performed by that name.
@johncarpenter3751 ikr 😂🤣🤣☠️ " the band is just fantastic that is really what I think, oh by the way which one's Pink?"
The Aqualung album was Jethro Tull’s best album in my opinion. I lean strongly on my opinion. It’s their most popular album too I believe. Ian Anderson is the name of the flautist who is the lead singer. He is an Atheist and he proudly flaunted it in the Aqualung album. But, he sure does tell a great story and play a great flute!🪈 He is the great storyteller and it surely is his claim to fame and he wields it with fury and might! I saw them in concert in the early days when they came out with the Aqualung album. This album put them on the map. It pays to be an old fart where rock and roll music is concerned.
Hymn 43 is my favorite Tull song. No others are close, well maybe Cross Eyed Mary.
Aqualong is superb....but i'm more into the "heavy horses "album
GOTTA READ THE BACK...of the album cover! 😅
Don't think Ian is an Atheist, but he is suspicious of the bureaucracy/hierarchy of organized religion.
He's not an Atheist He's anti religion. Big difference!
Because.... Aqualung, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood, they are Renaissance.
You're Still ALIVE ! You can take this music from the past and incorporate it into the music you do now! It's what all musicians have done for hundreds of years. I'm impressed that you're even listening to it ~ thoughtfully! It gives me hope for the future of music and for those who decide to create it. Bless you ~
The craziest thing about Ian Anderson is that he was self taught on the flute. He just made up how to play. His daughter was learning the flute and asked him why he was playing "wrong". He eventually took lessons and learned the "right" way.
And he didn't have RUclips.
@@kowen5323 it was probably better not to learn the “right” way. His way was more creative and spontaneous. Some things should be left alone. 😜
TULL!! NOBODY since can rock the flute like Jethro Tull did. We who grew up in the 60's and 70's were indeed blessed with stuff later generations never got to experience. I appreciate that you can look at something with new eyes and you are serious about being open to what you are hearing and reacting to it without bringing any preconceived notions in. Keep it up!
Just turned 74 and saw Tethro Tull twice--first at Red Rocks in Denver when we were tear-gassed. Next year he came onto an indoor stage with a gas mask and flippers on his feet. We loved this group oh so damn much.
We were tear gassed for Alice Cooper April 1978 at the Saint Paul Civic Center.
Then again same year in July for Rolling Stones Some Girls tour. Stones riot was outside the civic center as the civic center too small for ticket demand 18,000 - 20,000 seats. Ah the good old days.
There is NOTHING like Jethro Tull! Thanks for sharing this with everyone!! So awesome 😎
The expression on your face when Ian Anderson starts ripping on the flute. . . GOLD!
Jethro Tull was an early 18th Century English agriculture pioneer who studied novel plant propagation methodologies. Ian Anderson merely co-opted the name for his band. Whether Anderson was playing (singing?) his flute, or swinging it like a police baton, dull moments were few and far between. For the full treatment, check out their "My God".
Thanks for that history lesson .. interesting ..
I saw them live in June 1972. Ian Anderson is one of a kind. Blessed as well to have grown up in this era. And able to see all the greats live for $5-10.
Ian Anderson. The flute guy. In the day. Was fire. I saw them twice. Your reaction. Was priceless. Had me laughing my butt off. One of the best live performances. Ever.
Jethro Tull is a deep rabbit hole. An excellent band. my suggestion from them is Thick As A Brick live at Madison Square Garden circa 1977. The train is a metaphor for life.
Gave him the link for it above and it was from 1978
MORE JETHRO TULL!!!
MORE JETHRO TULL!!!
I concur!
Have you heard his voice and flut songs from the woods fab. Its fab from an old brit love to all
@@annirvinetaylor1376 I've heard everything from them. I'm a huge fan
Young man you're never too old to change, this is classic Prog Rock and there's lots more of it out there. BTW I'm 74 and was there at the beginning and still rocking. Heavy Horses is full of great tracks.
I'm 73 now, which means I heard all of this when it was brand new, and saw much of it live as well. And I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see a whole new generation discovering the music that was imprinted on us in our teens and 20s. Tull was a big band in its day, but it doesn't have the name recognition today of, say, the Rolling Stones. So that makes this reaction even more special to me. My dream is to see guys of your generation creating new music inspired by our music, just like the Stones and the other groups in the 60s were inspired by old American blues...which by the way was only about 30 years in the past at that time. Please keeping digging into this music, and reacting to it.
Mohammad Ali said " If a man looks at the world at 50 the same way he did at 20, wasted 30 years of his life."
Whoa, that is good!
Mohammad Ali was a smart man
true
I've seen Jethro Tull in concert twice...amazing shows! Ian Anderson is the singer... and he can almost make that flute talk.. just amazing!
So, I was 18 and my team had just won debate and interpretive reading championship for the state of Alabama. There was a Jethro Tull concert that night but it was sold out. We were staying at a Holiday Inn hotel where all rooms faced outwards. About 1 am I needed to get away from the party and sat outside next to the door watching a fierce thunderstorm- as in lightning hitting the swimming pool. 2 doors down a man comes out, sits down and pulls out a flute. He then proceeded to play music to/with the thunderstorm. Couldn't believe my luck in getting a private impromptu show from Ian Anderson. It was a memorable night. The photo shoot for the album Living in the Past was done partly outside the hotel next day and the pics are in the album.
I had a similar experience.Was chilling with my cousin at Lacy park .Ian was sitting against a tree playing his flute.Like our little private concert .
Ian Anderson (the lead singer, flutist, writer) said this was about the unstoppable destructive impact of population growth and capitalism.
Aqualung, my favorite album!
I was lucky enough to see them back on their Aqualung Tour in '71, it was the best night ever!
And he’s been proven right 🎉
glad to hear artists speaking out against capitalism during their free concerts.
I stand corrected
The song is about a man going through life experiences. can't stop life, nor will it slow down. Kids leave at different times (stations) and some major marital problem. All in God's hands.
Had the album and still love this group !
I'm 52 and thankful for a mother who got me hooked on Jethro Tull when I was a teenager in the late 80's. He's not Robin Hood. He's the Bard! Love the reaction! You need to react to "My God".
you have really opened your mind, truly. love to see that. a 70 year old lover of all things 60s, 70s, 80s, and some 90s......better late than never!
It’s not too Late. Jethro Tull is still touring. You will need to go to Europe to see them and Ian Anderson is certainly past his prime but he can still play man.
By the way the name of the band “Jethro Tull” was to honor the early 18th century agriculturalist and inventor by that name. He is considered the father of modern industrial agriculture as his emperical methods and his invention of the first seed drill revolutionized agriculture and dramatically increased crop yields. He is legitimately one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution.
This is also where the band had the idea to dress in early 18th century garments while performing.
I saw Jethro Tull in the late 70’s and what a performance. Didn’t sit down much. If you were to draw a list of all time greatest Rock frontman then Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson would be on that list. He is so multitalented.
He should have been in the Rock n Roll HoF a long time ago. Though truth be known Jan Woerner and his New York clique of Rolling Stone acolytes made a living joke of the Rock HoF a long time ago.
They continuously induct musical artists who don’t play rock music while ignoring some of the best rock groups and artists that ever performed. Like Jethro Tull.
Here in 2024 and still absolutely love this song! And loving your heartfelt reaction to this. Thanx!! From Cape Town, South Africa
Jethro Tull is the name of the band. Ian Anderson is the singer and the flautist. They have a very unique sound. You need to listen to the album Aqualung. It's fantastic. Start with the first cut and work your way through. And pay attention to the lyrics of all of the songs. They're deep.
Aqualug is just, well, I can hear it in my all these 44 years later. I didn't always understand 😅😅😅, but I never forgot it ❤
Think as a Brick...
The whole album...
I've got the original "newspaper" vinyl...
Ian Anderson and Jethro tull...was couple of meters away from the band in 81..am 70 now Great experience of my life...thanks for playing it... great trip down memory lane...
Yes, with Jethro Tull, you get the flute, which is just such a really cool addition to their music!🎶 🎵 I love this sound so much!❤❤❤
Jethro Tull, one of their biggest songs, Bungle In The Jungle. A MUST listen too.
There is no Jethro Tull in this band and Bungle in the Jungle of Ian Anderson's absolute worst songs in my opinion and his!
It's one of his worst songs. 😂
You need to hear the band called Focus,which does a song called Hocus Pocus, another guy that plays the flute. You need to check that band out.The singer is insane .lol BTW... Its on the Midnight Special tv show back in the early 70's.
'He is dripping with authenticity'...were very true words. Appreciation for offering that one. Jethro Tull is considered a legendary band. Ian Anderson was often referred to as the Pied Piper of the Rock world. Again, very true words. They do have other pieces to listen to: Bungle in the Jungle, Aqualung, Cross-Eyed Mary, Thick as a Brick...etc. Excellent choice for sharing this one.
We definitely had the best Era of music 60s 70s 80s Rock...Let's Go! Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
BP I DARE U TO CHECK OUT SMOKE ON THE WATER LIVE 1972 BY THE ROCK BAND DEEP PURPLE I DOUBLE DARE U
I have asked u B,P 30 times to Check🔥 out smoke on the water by the Rock band DEEP PURPLE LIVE 1972 🎸This is one of the tops. Take care BLACK PEGUSUS🔥
Saw Jethro Tull live in concert when I was young! Blew me away then, still blows me away at 71 years old. Ian Anderson's flute was magical!!
'And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps.'
Food for thought.
Enjoy all of Tull's discography. It's a trip.
One if the greatest live performers of all time, top shelf. Still tours today!
First time I heard Locomotive Breath it blew me away I seen Tull about 6 times amazing each time. I am soon to be 71 and l been listening to the best Rock and Blues Jazz ever created, my life will be ending and I have no regrets of my generation at all.
You are witnessing magic my brotha!! We had this shit every day in the 70's!!! Beautiful!!
Ian Anderson has one of the best storytelling singing voices in music.
That’s for sure. One of my go-to’s is “Another Harry’s Bar”. It’s such a well told story that shows Ian’s mastery of the art form.
I just loved the look on your face when he started playing the flute
I’m 67 and started playing guitar at 58 after kicking myself for all those years before. I’m in a band now and it’s the best therapy you would ever have. Having a bad day, just pick up the guitar and start noodling and your worries disappear. 🎸👍😊
That was a nice honest reaction. No need to apologize for going on.
So so SWEET!
I am very happy you get a chance to check this out. Finally, I hope you stay on this journey. One of my favorite artists
Martin Barre on that lead guitar. One of the best ever for sure.
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull brought so much musical pleasure to my life. Groups like this do not exist anymore. They were the greatest rock bands to ever live. I thank God it was in my time. What a blessing.
Good on you for appreciating what you missed out on from the '70s and '80s, but now appreciating as quality. Its never too late my friend, from Sydney Australia (65 years young) :)
He is on the train of life and it didn't show down for anyone
Gary is right. We didn't know how good we had it in the 60' and 70's. The variety and the talent level was insane. We thought that was normal. All I can say is today technology has trumped talent. Creativity seems to be stifled for the safe, commercial bets. We all lose if that continues to pervade the music industry.
Actually, I DID know "how good we had it". What other generation had that much variety forming a single genre?!! Santana, Chicago, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Frank Zappa, and on and on. Such variety that all played on Rock FM Radio. It was a great time to be young and alive. 🎉 ❤
"What am I witnessing?" 🤣🤣🤣 Ian Anderson is an international treasure.
There are no boundaries in music; just different flavours. I’m a 61 year old Canadian classic rock fan, (and big fan of Jethro Tull), but I’m also crazy about the blues, R&B, and some classical, reggae, country, etc. I’m so grateful to have grown up in a time when the music world was absolutely exploding with exciting new talent and new sounds. I grew up constantly exposed to an incredible variety of musicians who were all possessed by an obsession to create the best possible music they could, thanks in large part to all the great talent shows on TV, especially the immortal Mr. Ed Sullivan, who was a gift to the world. Music is the universal language that builds bridges and breaks bread. Exposing ourselves to different kinds of music feeds the soul.
Saw them in 73 , changed life forever. Blew our minds too.
Yes way my friend. Yes way my friend. You have now witnessed one of the great bands of all time headed up by Ian Anderson; one of the best composers/musicians who ever performed. It's pure genius that I fortunately saw live a number of times. Every time my face melted. Thanks for jumping into the amazing Jethro Tull!!
This is REALITY yes way l saw this bad ass fella at the Fest Hall in Frankfort Germany in 1973 it was fantastic!!!
I think my favorite Jethro Tull song is "Living In The Past". Speaking of... I am so happy that I grew up with this music and is part of the history of my life. It takes us back to a time when it really was better, and I'm glad I was around in this era. I was born in 1966, so I was just a kid in the 70s, but I grew up with this music. We only had only like 4 tv channels but we still had Midnight Special, American Bandstand, Don Kirshner, Soul Train, etc... all kinds of shows. I mean The Carpenters even had a variety show. I was 5, but I was going to marry Tom Jones. Talent was everywhere. Then I hear Rush in 1979 & they've been my favorite band since.
Ooh - that’s a dandy - I had forgotten about that one.
I listened to Jethro Tull in my teens and loved them. But even then, it wasn't for everyone. I do appreciate the fact that you admit that life, and your music, could have been fuller if you had been open to different music. But the great thing is...its never too late.
I think you gave an insightful reaction to this band. Jethro Tull was pretty unique, a mold breaker.
Ian Anderson, the flute player is absolutely fantastic and to go to a Jethro tull concert is a true experience.
I've been a fan since I was 15 years old...now I'm 53 and I still listen to Ian Anderson and celebrate him....he is the greatest flute player in the whole world👍👍👍😉😊
That he is!
