We would smoke ganja and listen to Jethro Tull, he would put us in a beautiful Old English folktale mood, ironically the legend says that the band did not get high on any psychoactive substances❤

I've been following the channel for some time now, and I have one comment to make: the arrangements are absolutely good, the performance is both individual and true to the original, the singing, regardless of correct tones and intonation, is of course compromised (if you take Ian Anderson's voice as a benchmark - not today's, of course), but all in all: here is a connoisseur (one listens to the introductory words to the songs) and expert at work, who has absolutely internalized the spirit of the songs and is able to realize them in wonderful versions, just great.

Well done sir

I believe one of the greatest compliments one can give a performance, is to claim it inspired the listener to grab an instrument and play.... You did that to me, my good man ..... Thank you,... Well done!

Bravo. Absolutely perfect

Yes! You really bring out the surging intensity that drove the original into the realm of the exceptional. (I can't help but also hear Martin Barre's slashing electric guitar.)

This is one of my fave Tull songs ever. Just amazing stuff. Wonderful performance!!

Love this one. I loved putting the needle down to open the album with this song’s quietly building intensity. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I’ve always thought that was a cool decision by Ian… one of his thousands, of course

On of the songs that actually hooked me some three decades ago.... Those days when everything was new to me.... Thank you!

Nice! One of many classic Tull songs. Probably my favorite!

You are very talented. Enjoy everything you’ve brought on to us, immensely. What fun it must be for you. Great guitar work. A fan since 1969. Chicago.

Wow, Superb! loved this cover, I have listened to loads of your great I. A. cover's, I think that you have been most entertaining in what you have done, Maybe Ian should have been a solo artist, he could have been a knockout with his skills, and all of those songs, ah well not to be, but we have you, thank you for doing a great job, of doing Ian's job that he should have done.

Why am I crying ? Just enough wine…

Dies ist einer meiner Lieblingslieder von Tull. Wunderbare Leistung !!

When I rediscovered Benefit, this is the song that got me. Well done.

Lo mejor del mundo es el tio jetrjo

Fantastic! I discovered Benefit in 1989, many years after its release. I go back to that album about twice a year still and love it every time.

I don't know what you do for a job but you're definitely a full fledged musician. Great song and cover.

Bravo! Brano difficile.

A lovely, acoustic version of this classic masterpiece. Great performance. You are so skilled with the guitar. cttgaegoaktd 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛

Beautifully done my good brother!!!! Absolutely fantastic!! You not only nailed it cold, but added some lovely flourishes that enhanced the performance!! My favorite Tull song, I will listen to everything else you play Mr. Wood!!

Listening to you doing all the earlier songs really brings those times back to the fore pleasurably thank you Stewart

Awesome! 👏👏👏

Bravissimo !!! (Come sempre...!) Nel giorno della finale Inghilterra-Italia sono sicuro che la disputà sarà per entrambe le squadre comunque onorevole. Vinca il migliore !!! Grazie per la Sua musica, Lord Wood !

I love this song and I like strange birds in the background. Let's learn it.

Very enjoyable.

Another great piece of Stewart's JTE !

That opening flute sound got me good in high school when I first heard this album. I think this might be my favorite album of theirs. Do "To Cry You A Song" next!

❤

Outstanding! Thank you from a 73 year old fledgling guitar player that always wanted to learn this song.

Excellent! Ever think of doing. Look into the sun or we use to know, or reason for waiting, I'm sorry ,there's so many jt songs and u do them so well Sir

Ich schaue deine Tull Covers sehr gerne. Große Klasse ! Habe die Konzerte zur Vorstellung der Alben " Aquallung " und "Thick As A Brick " hier in Deutschland live gesehen. Viele Grüße

From Robert and Candi__ Love that SONG! ROCK AND ROLL STEW!

Great Job. This has always been one of favorites. Benefit was also my favorite album.

That was stellar Stewart! I never had an appreciation for this song until I heard it several times in concert when it just blew me away. Your version today did the same.

Nice job. Beautiful playing and singing.

Yes, shades of things to come…

Fantastic! One of my favorite tunes.

Very commendable playing and singing Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson could've hired you if you were a wee bit older.

excellent 👍👍

Gratz man.. really beauty

I don’t know how you do it, whats your secret. Your covers are incredible because they are just acoustic and capture the essence of Tulls work. I’ve been a fan since 69 and have played some of their stuff but not up to your standard. I will always have these on mi iPad as reference, thanks again.

Very nice!

Beautifully done! Not an easy song to pull off, too. You maintained the rhythm really well and never rushed. Nice job!

Whao Stellar performance

Thank you. Great Jethro!! Great Stewart!!

Fantastic. I really enjoyed that. It’s such a great song to begin with. Great job../ again. Cheers from sunny Southern California.

Beautiful, you're really into it

Wow! This brings back memories. Although I learned this song a couple years ago but mostly in the first position. Really enjoy your use of the fret board and different chord phrasing that can be added to spice up the song. Thanks a lot for this one!

Very nice - brings back great memories. Fantastic job. I can't wait each day to see what song you are going to cover.

me really being a fan of this was ,stand up ,and benefit, and aqualung there was a few songs after that but not much i really appreciate the old stuff that ive seen you do tastefully well could you try back to the family. cheers to you and if you cant well done anyways youve made a fan so carry on. peace from gary in california

Great job. Really nice.

Benefit is the best album from Jethro Tull. Then, Aqualung

It was one of his first.

Excellent! Any chance of playing “Home” from the Stormwatch album

Hi again Stewart, I was wondering did you get a songbook with all these great songs, chords and lyrics? I could pick up most of what you're playing but it would be easier if I could get a songbook or something, thanks.

You what would be really cool, of you could grow two extra arms so you could play the flute part also. Yeah and also an extra mouth too, that would be cool.
