The drummer was Barriemore Barlow and the pianist John Evan. The second keyboardist was David Palmer, an intersex baby who was assigned the gender of male at birth. Later in life, he had a sex change and is now known as Dee Palmer. I saw this band live at around the same time as this clip was made. They performed two hours of perfect music, not a false note the whole night. Monster great.
Realmente uma formação poderosa. John Glascock foi um excelente baixista e sua morte foi uma grande perda e tristeza para toda a banda. sua morte em 1979. Glascock morreu aos 28 anos como resultado de um defeito congênito na válvula cardíaca. Portanto, ele se foi apenas dois anos após esse show.
Great live band, I saw Jethro Tull live in London in the early 70's and later in Sydney, Australia and never disappointed. Their albums are terrific, Anderson was multi talented and always changed his band to suit whatever was coming next !!
Absolutely. And yes, I'm considering the other all-time greats... like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Yes, and a few others. But I really don't think ANY of them, no matter how great, were as good as Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson during their prime.
@@denniskelley8974 In one week, early 70s we saw Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd twice each. We all agreed that Jethro Tull was superior live. Even though Floyd was their favorite!
I saw Jethro Tull live twice in the early 70s, always a fantastic show. Ian Anderson is the ultimate showman, and all were very talented musicians. I was lucky.
Songs from the Wood. My first whole album from JT. Still on the top of my list. Makes me wish I had 45 years plus back. But you know, sometimes listening to these songs kind of make up for it. They never get old.
PS. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I want you to know that I saw this show in New Haven,Ct 3/30 and 3/31 and 11/04 Springfield,Mass in 1977 and of course fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it, but check out the entire 77 show from Capital Center Maryland
Saw this show twice in 1977. This was my favorite Tull line up, and they were an excellent live. Their albums were good, but nothing like their live performances.
Songs from the Wood is my all time favorite Tull album. I was 21 when it was released and it blew me away, I decided that day that I was really a pagan. It had been building for quite some time. Seeing this video with such good picture and sound quality is a gift that I'm grateful for, thank you!
Look again at the intro. Ian was poking fun at the fact that this was the studio master tapes of the harmonies. Listen close as all the harmonies are Ian's voice. John Glascock does do some singing but on this intro nobody was singing except Ian. Drummer is Barriemore Barlow, Keys is John Evan, 2nd Keys is David Palmer. He worked on all the early Tull albums orchestrating the string arrangements. In '76 he joined the band as a second keyboardist. Many years later he would transition to a female, now Dee Palmer.
Look into the John Glascock stint inside Jethro Tull to get the full story behind Ian's mood. Dark, for sure. This line up for Tull is my favorite. Too old to Rock and Roll, Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses have so many great songs. When they went electric with "A" I sort of lost interest until Crest of a Knave came out in the 80's.
I saw that tour in Madison, Wisconsin in mid October of 1977. I stood right in front of Martin Barre all night long and cheered as loud as I could. Ian was in great voice and the band, as always, was so tight and well rehearsed. Their songs sounded so powerful live. What a concert!!!!
I have been a Jethro Tull fan since 1972....after hearing the album Aqualung and subsequently purchasing Thick As A Brick. They were stunning. I’d NEVER heard music like that! There were lot of Great Prog Rock bands in the 70’s....ie....Genesis, Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Happy The Man, Focus, Gryphon, U.K., Bruford, Soft Machine, Renaissance, PFM....however Jethro Tull stood out as the most uniquely original....a true one of a kind personality of sound and style. And at the helm was and is Ian Anderson....a true original, innovator with his outstanding vocal style and phrasing, approach to playing flute and writing music. Ian Anderson is the Greatest front man in Rock music....period. Ian has a very expressive and inviting story teller’s type voice. I’ve seen Jethro Tull live 8 times....including the first time in ‘75 on the beginning of the War Child Tour. They rehearsed and opened the North American leg of the ‘75 tour in my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. The show was perfection. I also have a friend bassist Steve Bailey who played bass on the Tull studio album Roots To Branches(1995). I suggest a listen to Jethro Tull - Roots To Branches. I think it is their best post 70’s album. To answer you question about the other Tull band members in the live video they are Barriemore Barlow(drums/percussion)....John Evan(keyboards, voc.)and David Palmer(keyboards, portative pipe organ, voc.)...along with John Glascock(bass,voc.)...Martin Barre(guitar/percussion, voc) and of course Ian Anderson- vocals, flute, acoustic guitar). I enjoy your podcast and comments on Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson and band. It is refreshing to see young people like yourself listening to and enthusiastic about great groups like Jethro Tull and leaders like Ian Anderson. I met Ian Anderson and Martin Barre at a meet & great after their Catfish Rising show at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. They were friendly and very cordial gentlemen. Ian is one of those people with natural charisma. Great observations. A suggestion if you haven’t heard them is one of Ian’s favorite bands Gentle Giant. Also very original and unique. The albums Three Friends, Octopus, Power And The Glory and Free Hand are extraordinary! Good day and as Ian Anderson would say.....”Cheerio!”
I was at this show. I lived in MD at the time and went to a lot of Capitol Centre concerts, inbcluding Jethro Tull several times. It wsa an amazing show from start to finish. Jethro tull is my favorite band of all time. Good to see younger people enjoy thier music. Prog rock has taken a beating from many people but for me it was the perfect genre. And Jethro Tull is the poster child for Prog Rock. Virtually any song from This Was through Heavy Horses for me was just amazing. An often overlooked song is No Lullaby. You should check it out. After Heavy Horses there were still good songs but it was more spotty. I hope you have gone down the amazing rabbit hole that is Jethro Tull. You will not be disapointed.
I was fortunate to see the Songs from the Wood tour with the late John Glasscock on bass. This was my favorite lineup of the group. Sadly the drummer left not too long after John's passing as they were great friends. To me the band was not quite the same afterwards. I will always cherish this performance.
When people do "first time hearing" reactions, I always recommend the studio version, as it is what the artist did many takes to get right. That being said, this is one of those rare exception where the live version doesn't miss a beat from the studio version. Thanks for the video.
I saw Jethro Tull at the Universal Amphitheater around 1986. I'm so glad I got to see them at that time. Ian Anderson started the concert with Songs From The Wood as he and the band sang in capella at the beginning of the song. Martin Barre on the guitar rocked out! The whole show was great.
Thank You for making me loving more Jethro tull through your comments and reactions..i m 66 years old French fan from thé start of this AMAZING band.. So créative music Indeed. Our modern Mozart 😉 Keep on Jethro..Tulling !!!
One of the best bands of all time. Every song on this album is incredible and yes back before Ian lost his voice due to him singing while he had laryngitis on tour in the early 1980’s, greatest band live along with the band YES back in the day.
Yes Ian is by far the best front man,a showman indeed. Such expression to every word he sings. He gyrates and dances with every nuance of the music. This is accented by the fact that the music varies in it's timing rather than a constant 4/4 that nost bands can jump up and down to so easily. And the whole band is animated. In other videos you can see keyboardist John Evan with this crazed smile on his face. Yet the band didn't do drugs. Barrimore Barlow is one of the best , yet underated drummers. His parts interwoven in the music are creative and tight. Of course the music itself with it's bit of Scottish influence mixed with high powered rock, shifting dynamics with a flute as a lead instrument makes these guys my all time favorite band.
Tull is the GREATEST band ever!! Saw them in 71' and I was HOOKED. Too bad you never saw them during their hay day, so to speak. I have seen them about 15 times over the years. Ian is the only member remaining.
This young female commentator is so cute, so naive. This group did this six nights a week for decades. Every year they released a new album and toured featuring the new songs and select old songs. They are the definition of progressive rock. Seeing them perform a live concert was an experience no one who ever saw it will ever forget. There has never been a group even remotely like Jethro Tull.
Ian wasn't in the best of moods at this concert, however it's a great show and if you have time I highly recommend you watch it. He does a flute solo and I hear whale calls during his performance. I love this song along with most of this album. Thanks for this reaction, well done. 🎵 🎶 ❤️.
He was mad at the lighting guy. He kept missing his cues and Ian was getting pissed. At one point he said into the mic, "You better get those lights fixed or I'm going to go up there and do it for you".
I had never seen them. I had a dream(in color) of Anderson standing there in that old, makeshift, red 18th century military uniform. When I awoke, I turned on the radio and they announced tickets going on sale for Tull right then.
This is probably the best formation in the history of Jethro Tull, unfortunately John Glascock passed away in 1979 I think I remember, while John Evan and Barriemore Barlow left the band that year. But for me there is a man, now a woman, in the shadows who has been key in the studio recordings and who also appears in this video: David Palmer, now Dee Palmer. Ian Anderson's compositions cannot be understood without Palmer's orchestral arrangements. I suggest that one day you sit on a bench (like old Aqualung), put on your headphones, close your eyes and listen very carefully to a song that you've already covered and sung, a great song from Stand Up: Reasons for Waiting, some cuts of Minstrel in the Gallery, Old Ghosts or listen to the end of Thick as a brick. I appreciate that you include subtitles in your videos. Every time you embed JT videos I get goosebumps.
They were awesome. I got to see this line up for Bursting Out/ Heavy Horses tour. Fourth row. They were FANTASTIC. I like the A album line up a lot also. I saw them for the A tour, the very show when Slipstream was filmed. That was an awesome show and that blew me away. What a great band always.
Check out the 77 Capital center in Maryland or concert from an England venue ( cannot remember the name of it). Then check out the 78 Madison Square Garden show. All great! There are also videos of the 79, 80, and 83 shows that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I will be patiently waiting for your reviews. I like the way you do your reviews and reactions. Keep up the good work. ps - I’m with you on the Broadford Bazaar song as one of Ian’s best acoustic songs!
Was there. Ian's voice was perfect back then. Band was tight. That was the best lineup. Now my ears are as bad as Ian's voice. Would go back in a heartbeat.
This video was such a great find! There isn't much in terms of complete video from this era of the band. And then all of a sudden in 2017, we get what's basically a full concert movie in decent quality considering the circumstances... (it was just footage for the big screens, never intended to be recorded - and for the first few songs the audio was missing, so Jakko had to mix the footage with the audio track from another gig on the same tour!!! He himself later remarked how depressing it was that you don't even notice the two not matching...) But man, him joking about the tape of the backing vocals running in the background. Of course that's exactly what they did (confirmed in the booklet). Who's shrewd enough to actually admit it?
He did it honestly but the audience bought it ( myself included and didn’t realize that lip syncing was at the time) But visually it was great to see and hear!
Just discovered your channel..Love it when the younger generation finds Tull...There is still hope for great music. If you like Pink Floyd, may I direct your attention to Mostly Autumn...Another great band.
Ian always came up with odd keys and time signatures in his songs. Barrie Barlow on drums and flute in the intro, John Evan and David (now Dee) Palmer on keyboards. Martin was touring a lot before Covid hit. John Glascock sadly passed in '79. The Madison Square Garden show has been on YT. You really need to watch and listen to Thick as a Brick. Amazing live version!
Sadly John Glascock, who's singing shitty tonight, tragically died very young due to an undiagnosed heart infection and involved an abscessed tooth. Very tragic indeed. I recommend every give Tull songs a listen because Ian is also an amazing songwriter. He really tells stories with his lyrics and the compositions are so creative and gritty but beautiful at the same time.
I don't know, there is something about live rock shows recordings that sounds so great during the 70s and 80s, I don't know how and how to analyze it, but it feels really great and satisfying to listen to. Maybe I just love Jethro Tull too much xD
You could do Jethro Tull Live continuously and I'd never get tired of it , but if I were suggest another band , I would suggest Gentle Giant-On Reflection -Live
Barriemore Barlow - Drummer and John Evan on Keys. Also David Palmer on keys as well. And YES, they sounded JUST LIKE the record when you saw them live. Actually BETTER.
Don’t know what progress you are making with adding to your collection of Tull music but two songs I highly recommend that you listen to are Witches Promise and Crew Nights Ian’s vocals and flute are fantastic and I know you would love them. I would love to see you do a reaction video of these songs! God bless and keep up the good work!
Barrymore Barlow is one of the Greatest Drummer's that ever. Hit the Planet..
👍 agreed. Incredible parts played for Tull.
The other is the Kansas drummer and the Yes drummer. And the Dixie Drags drummer.
What a joyous, exuberant song of the joy in life.
The drummer was Barriemore Barlow and the pianist John Evan. The second keyboardist was David Palmer, an intersex baby who was assigned the gender of male at birth. Later in life, he had a sex change and is now known as Dee Palmer. I saw this band live at around the same time as this clip was made. They performed two hours of perfect music, not a false note the whole night. Monster great.
This is my favorite era and lineup of the band, always great to see John Glascock, RIP.
SFTW HH Sw!
Realmente uma formação poderosa. John Glascock foi um excelente baixista e sua morte foi uma grande perda e tristeza para toda a banda. sua morte em 1979. Glascock morreu aos 28 anos como resultado de um defeito congênito na válvula cardíaca. Portanto, ele se foi apenas dois anos após esse show.
Allegedly Ritchie Blackmore said Glascock is the best in the industry at that time.
I truly love John on bass because my late brother who played bass absolutely loved him! RIP John.
Great live band, I saw Jethro Tull live in London in the early 70's and later in Sydney, Australia and never disappointed. Their albums are terrific, Anderson was multi talented and always changed his band to suit whatever was coming next !!
This is the Music! 👍 Thanks for video
This is the best band in history ! I've seen this band 23 times.
Absolutely. And yes, I'm considering the other all-time greats... like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Yes, and a few others. But I really don't think ANY of them, no matter how great, were as good as Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson during their prime.
no wonder . Only 10 times for my part .
over 300 times.......1969--------------------Nov. 4, 2023, at Albany N.Y. his last American concert.....
@@denniskelley8974 In one week, early 70s we saw Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd twice each. We all agreed that Jethro Tull was superior live. Even though Floyd was their favorite!
I've only seen them 4 times. . . 79. . 89. . . 91. . 2018. . Timeless music.
A great album
I saw Jethro Tull live twice in the early 70s, always a fantastic show. Ian Anderson is the ultimate showman, and all were very talented musicians. I was lucky.
I just saw the the Martin barre band 2 days ago.great concert
Good music and tanks you.
You should check out the full Bursting Out album (live 1978), it's pure gold
One of my all-time favorite albums!
You like/play drums. Conundrum is not to be missed.
Songs from the Wood. My first whole album from JT. Still on the top of my list. Makes me wish I had 45 years plus back. But you know, sometimes listening to these songs kind of make up for it. They never get old.
I love that people like you keep the older golden music alive. Jethro Tull was pure genius. Enjoy
Yup, they were that good, still gives me goosebumps!
Big Thumbs Up!
PS. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I want you to know that I saw this show in New Haven,Ct 3/30 and 3/31 and 11/04 Springfield,Mass in 1977 and of course fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it, but check out the entire 77 show from Capital Center Maryland

Great version of One og their best songs. Great reaction.
You have great taste in music. It does an old guys heart good to see such a young lady as interested in real music as you.
Ian was so good. So unique. Only he could make a flute totally rock. I saw the Tull 2 times. He, the band, and the show, never disappointed.

Thick As A Brick 1976 Tampa or My God 1970 Isle Of Wight . Thick as a Brick 1978 Madison Square Garden is good also .
My God, they are amazing live.
The intro vocals, except for Ian I believe were Ian recorded.
All prerecorded.
Yes you can hear his voice overs but the others were just added in. Volume down. :)
I like it when other people get excited about old Tull songs. . seems fitting!!
What will it take to get Tull into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I can't believe they're not already there.
I was fortunate to see the Songs from the Wood tour with the late John Glasscock on bass. This was my favorite lineup of the group. Sadly the drummer left not too long after John's passing as they were great friends. To me the band was not quite the same afterwards. I will always cherish this performance.
Barry Barlow! Drummer extraordinaire!
I've seen him six times. Last was at the Greek in Los Angeles.
Saw Tull over30 times live. Have great pictures
When people do "first time hearing" reactions, I always recommend the studio version, as it is what the artist did many takes to get right. That being said, this is one of those rare exception where the live version doesn't miss a beat from the studio version. Thanks for the video.
Tull is ever-welcome...and your hair blowing back, like a character on the cover of a romance novel, is an added touch.
The Drummer's name is Barrymore Barlow the keyboard player is john Evans I believe
Marvellous!! Thank you 💥❤
Who are you being soooo young and knowing anything about Jethro Tull is mind blowing.
breathtaking...unbelievable!
I saw Jethro Tull at the Universal Amphitheater around 1986. I'm so glad I got to see them at that time. Ian Anderson started the concert with Songs From The Wood as he and the band sang in capella at the beginning of the song. Martin Barre on the guitar rocked out! The whole show was great.
Magnificent!!!
You are amazing! You already know Jethro Tull! You’re singing the lyrics along with the song…… 🥰😍
Thank You for making me loving more Jethro tull through your comments and reactions..i m 66 years old French fan from thé start of this AMAZING band..
So créative music Indeed.
Our modern Mozart 😉
Keep on Jethro..Tulling !!!
JethroTull members always been top of the world!
One of the best bands of all time. Every song on this album is incredible and yes back before Ian lost his voice due to him singing while he had laryngitis on tour in the early 1980’s, greatest band live along with the band YES back in the day.
You my dear Rock , Let’s go out in my “88” DeLorean for a week or two ;-)!
Yes Ian is by far the best front man,a showman indeed. Such expression to every word he sings. He gyrates and dances with every nuance of the music. This is accented by the fact that the music varies in it's timing rather than a constant 4/4 that nost bands can jump up and down to so easily. And the whole band is animated. In other videos you can see keyboardist John Evan with this crazed smile on his face. Yet the band didn't do drugs. Barrimore Barlow is one of the best , yet underated drummers. His parts interwoven in the music are creative and tight. Of course the music itself with it's bit of Scottish influence mixed with high powered rock, shifting dynamics with a flute as a lead instrument makes these guys my all time favorite band.
FANTASTIC!! JT fan here, as you probably already guessed 😉
Truly magnificent song. Amazing that they followed up the mediocre Too Old to Rock'n Roll with the masterpiece Songs From the Woods.
Tull is the GREATEST band ever!! Saw them in 71' and I was HOOKED. Too bad you never saw them during their hay day, so to speak. I have seen them about 15 times over the years. Ian is the only member remaining.
Love this song thx

Oh really what happen to Ian that day?
@@lukahmad5683 I don't know he just seemed tired.
He was mad at the lighting guy. He kept missing his cues and Ian was getting pissed. At one point he said into the mic, "You better get those lights fixed or I'm going to go up there and do it for you".
I was six years old when that album came out 😅 my favorite band ever since
I had never seen them. I had a dream(in color) of Anderson standing there in that old, makeshift, red 18th century military uniform. When I awoke, I turned on the radio and they announced tickets going on sale for Tull right then.
My preferite band🎉🎉
John Glascock on bass. Barriemore Barlow on drums.
This is probably the best formation in the history of Jethro Tull, unfortunately John Glascock passed away in 1979 I think I remember, while John Evan and Barriemore Barlow left the band that year. But for me there is a man, now a woman, in the shadows who has been key in the studio recordings and who also appears in this video: David Palmer, now Dee Palmer.

I appreciate that you include subtitles in your videos. Every time you embed JT videos I get goosebumps.
Ian Anderson was an exacting task master. Complex timing required songs rehearsed to perfection and tight as a gnat’s arse
Incredible, it's making me sweat! ;-P On fire! amazing performing live...
They were awesome. I got to see this line up for Bursting Out/ Heavy Horses tour. Fourth row. They were FANTASTIC. I like the A album line up a lot also. I saw them for the A tour, the very show when Slipstream was filmed. That was an awesome show and that blew me away. What a great band always.
it's play back 100% . Ian Anderson didn't finish his presentation at 1:15 but the tape is already playing . It's a matter of a quarter of a second .
Can't wait for my request .
this is great. my favorite the early line up with clive bunker, glenn cornick. check out benefit, stand up if ya havent yet
Check out the 77 Capital center in Maryland or concert from an England venue ( cannot remember the name of it). Then check out the 78 Madison Square Garden show. All great! There are also videos of the 79, 80, and 83 shows that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I will be patiently waiting for your reviews. I like the way you do your reviews and reactions. Keep up the good work. ps - I’m with you on the Broadford Bazaar song as one of Ian’s best acoustic songs!
I grew up with Tull. I love your reactions to this band. One of my favorites is Heavy Horses.
Was there. Ian's voice was perfect back then. Band was tight. That was the best lineup. Now my ears are as bad as Ian's voice. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Just discovered your channel..Love it when the younger generation finds Tull...There is still hope for great music. If you like Pink Floyd, may I direct your attention to Mostly Autumn...Another great band.
Saw "Bursting Out" live. Was in my top 5.
Ian always came up with odd keys and time signatures in his songs. Barrie Barlow on drums and flute in the intro, John Evan and David (now Dee) Palmer on keyboards. Martin was touring a lot before Covid hit. John Glascock sadly passed in '79. The Madison Square Garden show has been on YT. You really need to watch and listen to Thick as a Brick. Amazing live version!
Barrie Barlow was the best Tull drummer. Always quirky rhythms.
Saw them three times live. Always a blast.
Barrymore Barlow (drums), John Evan (keyboards and sometimes ice cream vendor :) ).
From late 1969 up to 2010 I never missed a Tull concert and they really were that good!
Sadly John Glascock, who's singing shitty tonight, tragically died very young due to an undiagnosed heart infection and involved an abscessed tooth. Very tragic indeed. I recommend every give Tull songs a listen because Ian is also an amazing songwriter. He really tells stories with his lyrics and the compositions are so creative and gritty but beautiful at the same time.
Yes the original line-up, John glascock, Jeffrey Hammond Hammond just brilliant....
I'm standing on one leg ! Hooray !!
Got the album!
Damn that was tight.
Love meeting a new Tull fan. Nice reaction.
Have you ever watched Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (live at Madison Square Garden 1978)?
Awsome.
I don't know, there is something about live rock shows recordings that sounds so great during the 70s and 80s, I don't know how and how to analyze it, but it feels really great and satisfying to listen to. Maybe I just love Jethro Tull too much xD
The keyboard player is John Evans and the drummer is the GREAT Barrymore Barlow
You could do Jethro Tull Live continuously and I'd never get tired of it , but if I were suggest another band , I would suggest Gentle Giant-On Reflection -Live
John Evan, keyboards. Barrymore Barlow, drums.

I saw this tour in NYC Madison square garden Ian is a master showman!
Barriemore Barlow on drums.....john evans on piano.......david palmer on keyboards
Barriemore Barlow - Drummer and John Evan on Keys. Also David Palmer on keys as well. And YES, they sounded JUST LIKE the record when you saw them live. Actually BETTER.
I got to see them around 1980 at MSG. Styx opened for them. Ian is such a great performer.

Don’t know what progress you are making with adding to your collection of Tull music but two songs I highly recommend that you listen to are Witches Promise and Crew Nights Ian’s vocals and flute are fantastic and I know you would love them. I would love to see you do a reaction video of these songs! God bless and keep up the good work!
