Well well well, another MONSTER group you have not heard of. Ian Anderson is quite unique. His vocals and Flute playing are LEGENDARY. The entire band is TOP SELF Talent..... "Jethro Tull" are a British rock band formed in Luton, England, in 1967. Initially playing blues rock and jazz fusion, the band soon incorporated elements of English folk, hard rock, and classical music, forging a signature progressive rock sound. "Aqualung".. "My God".. "Wind-Up".. "Locomotive Breath".."Thick As A Brick".."Bungle In The Jungle". "Living In The Past'.. "Cross-Eyed Mary"..... just to name a few
Jethro Tull might be the most underrated band of the classic rock era. They have a _very_ deep repertoire of great songs to check out. "To Cry You a Song" isn't even one of their most famous ones, as awesome as it is. You might try "Teacher" next.
The band is named after this gentleman....Jethro Tull (30 March 1674 - 21 February 1741) was an English agriculturist from Berkshire who helped to bring about the British Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century.
@themikentimcomedyshow3343 You know, you're wrong.The other guy is right, the band is named after the agriculturalist, who Invented a device to plant seeds with.
Jethro Tull joyfully mashed many musical influences together behind manic frontman Ian Anderson; wait until you experience his various contributions beyond vocals (no spoilers!). Check out "Cross-Eyed Mary," "Aqualung," or "Songs From the Wood" for more JT.
In my High School Art Class we listened to a lot of Jethro Tull and others from that era (mostly Blues). Nearing the end of the school year YES, Jethro Tull, and Black Sabbath were going to be in Evansville, IN. The Art Club was going to rent a school bus, pay the driver, pay for insurance, and buy tickets for the members and our teacher, his wife, and a couple other adults. A school club couldn't carry money over from one year to the next. Evidently one or more parents heard some Black Sabbath music and canceled our plans... Then the School Administrators confiscated the Club Treasury.
During the following 8 years this band evolved to one of the most significant British progrock band. With influences of classical, medieval, folksong, jazz etc. Amazing scene apperances and well-built albums. Still active.
I listened to this album every day in college but roommate played Bread....he joined a fraternity I made my own way......He got drunk all the time I got high. Would not trade places with him....
Funny how, having listened to this number countless times, when it ends I'm always anticipating the opening bars of ' A time for everything' but it never eventuates having to resort to playing the album to realise my expectations.
Nice That's my birthday. It's funny but Tull always seemed to come around.The Tampa Bay area close to my birthday.Not every time but twenty or thirty times. I saw them 44 times. Never disappointed. I consider them the greatest live band of all time
Ian Anderson's take on The Byrds Eight Miles High - tripping on a jet airliner. Eight Miles High was inspired by jazz God John Coltrane - well worth checking out, a classic raga rock composition, inspired by jazz and Indian music.
He was already gone by this album. Stand Up was previous to Benefit, and Abrahams wasn't on it either. Martin Barre was the Tull guitarist starting with Stand Up.
@@happilyeggs4627 Mick had nothing to do with this track or anything else on the Benifit album. Martin and Ian both played electric guitar on this one.
Playing Tull, you've got another subscriber. This tune is great, but doesn't have the flute. You've only had a taste ... you have GOT to see a live performance. I suggest "Thick As A Brick" or "Songs From The Wood".
Before you stray too far away from Bob Dylan, You will be happy you added these two to his playlist..... "Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest" --- "Who Killed Davy Moore". You now know what to expect from Dylan. These two will meet his high standards.
aqualung, locomotive breath=you will love both both songs = LEGENDARY also skating away on the thin ice of a new day living in the past son hymn 43 thick as a brick -whole album ETC.....
there are several tull albums that are golden -every song great and there is some later that i find boring -go for the first 5-6 albums inluding the 2 record set called living in the past THIS IS A HUGE PILE OF QUALITY HIGHEST MUSIC
If he only goes for the first 5 or 6, he'll miss Minstrel In The Gallery, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, Stormwatch, Broadsword & The Beast .... all excellent!
Greatest live band of all time

That's right! Bringing the Tull train!
Alright Alright!

Great choice, this is a rarely played song that I absolutely love.
"Thought I saw Angels but I could have been wrong". I think of that line all the time.
One of rocks greatest lines
Ian Anderson is forever my poet and my bard -- So many great songs you have yet to hear ---
What a riff! Classic
I wore a Tull t shirt in 70's always liked Jethro Tull n Jethro from Beverly hillbillies lol... Locomotive breath live will display his talents
Jethro Tull is a rabbit hole worth exploring deeply
OK JM..... Strap yourself in for this performance..... Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Rockpop In Concert 10.7.1982)
Great quintessential Tull song. Thanks for the reaction.

No, he didn't, he wasn't big on history, it was one of their promoters...

"Hymn 43" by Jethro Tull is another great song to try

fabulous track
I've seen them six times . Again next September in Lincoln CA
the guitar interplay and overdubs contain some of Martin Barre’s greatest moments.
this stuff always brings me back to all the horrendous glory of my early 20s.. in the 90s..

Have a look at the "Aqualung" album
It's been a long time since I've heard of Jethro Tull. I don't know why but it always made me think of medieval music even if it's not that at all
Today, 10-11-2023... you just did "My God" Live 1970.. and added it to your Jethro Tull Playlist.... You loved it.

Mick Abrahams on lead guitar. Just prior to him leaving and forming Blodwyn Pig.
Mick Abrams left after their first album. Martin Barre is the lead guitarist. Stayed with Tull until 2010.
@@tomdapper8278 Mick Abrahams played lead on this track. I agree that Barre joined the band. He did so after this track was recorded.
He was already gone by this album. Stand Up was previous to Benefit, and Abrahams wasn't on it either.
Martin Barre was the Tull guitarist starting with Stand Up.
Thank you from NY!!🔥🔥

This is another prime example of why they shouldn’t be in the Rock and Roll HOF and Dolly Parton and Lionel Ritchie should be those 2 really ROCK
R&R HOF, has NO credibility
