This is indeed one o' the shinin' stars in the Jethro Tull catalog. I was one o' those lucky ones who saw them perform it live in 1970-a year before the studio version was released. Nobody knew what to expect 'n we were blown away! Check out the live version from the Isle Of Wight Festival 1970. I guarantee you've never seen anythin' like it before or since, got me? Ian at his peak...
A masterpiece by JT from a masterpiece album by the band. Musically wonderfully worked out. Adapted to the song's lyrics (the discrepancy between pure faith and the questionable institution of the church), it is mainly in minor tones, but there are also major chords in between, as a kind of glimmer of hope.
I highly recommend a live video of Locomotive Breath that gives a view of what Jethro Tull does live, including their comedic performance elements while maintaining excellence of music. It begins with keyboardist John Evan dramatically playing the piano intro as on the studio version with added elaborations. Each band member gets some attention in the video. Ian Anderson, in addition to singing, flute, and conducting takes a turn on organ while the keyboardist wanders around the stage. It is an excerpt from an encore in 1977 that continues to completion with the British anthem “Land of Hope and Glory” and the final refrain of “Twelve Backdoor Angels." It is RUclips described as “Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (live 1977)” 9:49 with excellent sound quality for live in that era.
Tull is just so great it’s almost s unfair to compare them to anyone. Try some of their incredible acoustic pieces such as Skating Away, Life’s a Long Song, Up the Pool, Witches Promise,etc…it gets no better.
My favorite Tull song, and, IMHO, still the best Tull song. Proggy, theatrical, dramatic. Ian Anderson using subtle changes that are powerful in effect(a Tull trademark). And when Martin Barre(his usual stellar self)comes in with electric guitar...My God indeed...borderline metal. The chanting against the flutes reinforces the lyrical theme, besides having the value of contrast against the rest of the song. Obviously, the lyrics are a tirade/rant against the hypocrisy that organized religion often(and sadly) exhibits. Our host's interpretation works too. Genius song, but, that is what Ian Anderson usually does Live versions are fire, you get to see Ian Anderson's showmanship/charisma on full display
I knew with the high amount of votes that it had to be special! It got even better on each listen. Yes, this one would certainly stun even more live. Have to watch Ian work that magic on the flute!! Thanks..
many people think of ian anderson as the crazy one legged flute player front man of TULL. well let me tell you that he is a simply incredible acoustic guitarist not to mention his spine tingling vocals. one concert i saw him in was in '72 on their 'thick as a brick' tour in springfield ,mass. he wowed the crowd with his guitar prowess and i would not have complained if he had just gone on all night !
@@retroreactions....Well you will be blown away. But it is good to start from the studio songs. Too many starts from the live videos and their attention gets absorbed by Ian Anderson's character. Also in the studio versions the songs were much refined with a lot of overdubs and great production.
Wow the opening! Ian Anderson (flutist, guitarist, vocalist, lyricist, composer, showman) in a Spanish fingering performance. A fingering reminiscent of Steve Howe's playing on certain YES compositions and even more evident in the solo instrumental "Mood For A Day". Thanks.
Well Brandon, you've managed to review yet another one of my absolute favorites. And now you know why this deep and ominous tune was so heavily requested. If there were ever a song to get me into Tull, it was " My God. " But the same could be said for almost anything off "Aqualung." And I can see how you were understandably taken by it's aura. It's definitely quite unforgettable.
My God! 😉 Whatever Tull you can listen to it must be great, and this can't be missed too. Unique as usual. As I began to listen with you I was trapt, hooked by their sonic journey. Acoustic then Rock and Blues, eloquent voice, his flute is like another ethereal voice, captivating, powerful. I heard this on Aqualung before, but forgot about, but what a pleasure to hear it again like a first time. It deserves your platinum reward so easy. 👏🙏 Remember, my favorite were "broadsword" who were released in early 80's and have whole another sound filled with electronic keyboards 🎹 but it's still Jethro Tull, and it's good and epic. Cheers Brandon!
So happy to hear you are enjoying this Tull journey with me! Great analysis of the music. Oh my... JT with keyboards? How could I forget that!! I think something from that album should be next on their next go around... 😊 Thanks!
@@retroreactions.... Tull already had a keyboarder for long time but he was somehow discreet and overshadowed by Ian. But with some changes of Lineup in early 80's he got Eddy Jobson (from Roxy Music and UK) on the Album "A" considered like an transitional solo recording more from Ian Anderson himself, but Eddy happened just to be a guest for a year. So he were replaced later by a young keyboard wizard called John-Peter Vettese from 1982 to 1985 were he participated to "Broadsword and the beast" then "Under Wraps". This last album wasn't so much loved by the old fans... Also a kind of solo album "Walk into the light" were he experimented more electronic sounds trying to compete with the electro Pop that came out everywhere.
Great song….it’s been awhile since I’ve listened to it. Aqualung is such a great album! I know you like medieval style music, which is why I’ve recommended a couple of songs from The Broadsword and the Beast album before. I know Tull will get their turn again. My go to theater, The Arcada, has had Martin Barre there before, but I’ve yet to see him. Maybe next time? This week has been flying…. Christmas is in just four days!!😮
Excited to hear their medieval side! Yes this month flew by faster than my music time machine!! Luckily Christmas duties are much lower key this year since the gathering is being done at someone else's house...😊
we were lucky enough to see martin barre with his current band in our berkshire hills town of worthington mass. this past june at the worthington golf club. they did a history of tull section for about an hour to start. the band was set up on the 9th green and the crowd was seated in chairs on the fairway in front. one of the coolest things ever on a beautiful summer night.
This is one of the gems from "Aqualung", much better than the title song. But now I emphatically recommend that you listen to a live rendition of it. This is one of those songs that grow a lot when played live, and it's even better seeing it on video. Some time ago I saw a video of a classical flutist who was not only very young, but had always lived in a musical bubble and had never heard of Jethro Tull until a lot of her channel viewers started requesting it. I'm not sure if the song was "My God", but I think so. Anyway, it had a long flute solo that became even longer with Ian improvising live. It melted her brain! At first she reacted disapprovingly, like: "One does not do that, it's one of the first things we're taught!" Or: "Oh no, you can't play standing on one leg, that's disrespectful and impairs your concentration!" Then, as the solo progressed, her mouth just kept opening wide: "Jeez, this is so difficult to do!" Or: "How does he get that sound?" Or: "When does he breathe?" Or: "How can he vocalize and play at the same time?" By the end, she was totally in awe and Ian had earned her total respect. She said she saw him doing things that she didn't even know were possible with a flute, and that he broke all the rules and wrote his own to replace them, something only a true genius can do. And like her, you've only dipped your toes in Jethro Tull so far... They have at least three albums to which I give platinum record awards from start to finish: "Stand Up" (unfortunately, from 1969, but a good tip for your next 60s Week - at least their legendary rendition of J. S. Bach's "Bourrée" - and a must for a private audition), "Thick as a Brick" (I know, it's another elephant in your room already), and "Songs from the Wood" (my all-time favorite). But I'm sure you'll discover all that and more with time.
I would guess that Ian goes off on the flute even more in the live setting... Nice story. Glad she latched on to his brilliance on first watch. Ah yes, Thick as a Brick....up there with the elusive Karn Evil...Yes, JT for sure on permanent rotation on the channel. I just wish there were 3 more of me to cover this all quicker!! Thanks..
Life is better with Ian Anderson's flute. My favorite is Living In The Past (but it's too short - designed for playing on radio back in the day). I get a kick out of the reactions from classically trained flautists. They're always amazed at his work, but then mention how he plays the flute wrong. Well, Ian taught himself how to play flute. When Ian's daughter picked up the flute, she got her dad to play it correctly.
That's for sure! I am so impressed by his unique flute capabilities. He sounded perfect to me, but of course I don't know how to play that beautiful instrument. Nice to see you as always...
Grew up with JT in the background. So much good stuff around that I never bought even one of the albums so I never got into them. Thanks for showing me what I missed out on.
I have a huge fascination for this song. I can hear the song "Cirice" by the band Ghost. Which they did a cover of a Genesis song this year. It would be excellent if they ever did a cover of this song. I don't know what they would do for the flute part, because that could never match up to Ian's abilities. Great video. 💙💙🎵🎶🎶
Hi. Yes, I've heard the Ghost Genesis cover. Pretty cool. I assume they are more of a current band and not in my channel window. There is only 1 Ian, just like so many of the greats on my channel!
Yes, your channel deals with the most amazing musicians and singers of all time. It's just interesting to see how older bands influence current bands. Life is great!! 😀
Hi ! one of the best of Aqualung album ! That guitar is fast ! i tried to play it ! lol never will i be that fast ! I never had an acoustic guitar till now ! i just bought a Yamaha with a hard case, a strap and a bag of medium picks ! lol ! now i need to get my courage together and take it out the case and play ! well try to play ! That will be so different than electric guitar ! 🤔my god !
Hi there! Yes, I gave up guitar very quick because I found it too difficult (the fingering). I have huge respect for guitar players, especially the ones who can play at lightning speed! That's amazing. You don't know how many times I've been tempted, especially this year, to compose a new song or at least record one of my old ones the right way. So little time...Best of luck, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
LoL ! right ! well , i won t give up the guitar, i can t ! it s new and i payed the price ! 385 $ all together with the case and all ! So i ll show you how little i know and hope to show some progress.....later ! lol 🧐🤔@@retroreactions....
A stunning song…you can hear elements of this song returning throughout their subsequent works, particularly the “Minstrel” album as well as both “Heavy Horses” and “Songs from the wood”. Jethro Tull complete my most listened to triumvirate alongside Yes & Genesis (up until Hackett’s departure). Delve deeper…they will reward!
There are some vibes of later Prophet Song by Queen. And your finishing of your reaction with "till the end of times" added even more unexpected associations. Cool!👏👏👏💓 The Whistler, Songs From The Wood and The Witch's Promise are my favourite too because of that theatrical flavour and some druide around the fire storytelling manner - little mad, little tricky, little secret and all pierced through with the breath of Nature. It's owesome.
Queen vibes? Nice! Will have to keep Prophet in mind (it has 5 votes). Wow those 3 sound up my alley for sure. I'll add your votes for them. Thanks for watching!
I love seventies Tull, fav album being the very folky but damn heavy-Songs From The Wood, my all time fav track is on that and it's Pibroch, Cap In Hand. Strong field of tracks though.
Nice. Never heard of that song so I added it to my list. I'm intrigued by the whole Wood album, based on what I've heard about it. Thanks for watching!
HOHOHO Brandon. Ready for God? My elder brother was really into Tull. Solstice bells is a jangly Chrimble song with bells. It's also fab. Of course IMHO Lennon's Happy Christmas is supreme and there is a lovely film of him playing with the Harlem Choir and teaching the little kids how to sing it. Just lovely. War is over (if you want it). I know I do. When is your last video before/after Chrimble going up?
Hohoho! Christmas right around the corner. Not sure if you know the joys of tamales (food), but I'm eagerly awaiting consuming a few! Ah, the telepathy is strong here. I literally just heard the word Chrimble for the first time a few hours ago, and now you mention it here 😊 I will have daily videos right up to and including Christmas day, and then I will likely take my first break ever for the channel of about 4 days. We get 1 more Christmas reaction and my favorite Genesis song (for most of my life), plus 1 surprise (or torture LOL, depending on the listener) 😁
YEAH YOU NEED TO SEE IT FOR SURE NOW THAT YOU'VE HEARD IT! 😊SOME OF THE VERYYYYY BEST IN PROG MUSIC THAT YOU'LL GET BRANDON, YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING BUT IT ALWAYS RETURNS TO WHERE IT STARTED, THAT'S THE BEST STUFF!👍😊

it's almost painful having you do the one song; side 2 of aqualung is really best listened to en toto, my god through the end. but ok, I know that doesn't fit your format, and I think you already did locomotive breath anyway
Another unique rocker from JT, theatrical and angry...and that flute!!!!! Thanks for watching! 🥰
It's blues. It's Renaissance. It's jazz. It's hard, hard rock. Such a fantastic fusion.
There you go! That's why it sounds so interesting and eclectic. Thanks so much for tuning in!

The band I have seen more than any other, and I will be seeing the latest incarnation next year. A truly underrated band IMO.
Yup
Great song, great reaction! Thanks!

Thanks! I have added your vote for Minstrel. Thank you so much for watching!
First time I heard this song was in concert, about 15 rows back in a collage gymnasium - an amazing moment.
The Tull song I recommend the most. Thanks for the listen and reaction.

Love that opening. The truest musician and artist he is. Nice discovery for me. Thanks!
Ian's vocalizations on the flute are a hallmark of his style. As you dive in, you'll find him using them more.
one of the greatest injustices in music is that jethro tull have yet to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
Hello. Ah yes, many legends suffer the same injustice I know. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow. I'm shocked by that. I guess we just assume.
@@timohara5691 yeah so many bands that have nothing to do with Rock and Roll but no Jethro Tull.
Ian doesn't want to be in hall of fame...sadly
The stain on the Hall of Shame must be fixed or it's worthless.
My God! Got what I wanted!!
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the reaction!! Happy Holidays and thanks for being first today! 🥇
