Ian Anderson on stage was an energetic, eccentric character, clad with period threads - waistcoat with tails. And I can’t begin to tell you what he did with that flute during the performance. Yes, he blew into it, mumbled and hummed into it. But it also got tangled in his coat tails and manipulated in such a way (nudge, nudge, wink 😉 ) that you almost expected a police raid. And I still can’t reveal how Steely Dan got their name, but it’s a similar story. Lol 😉 Well, you both did a bang-up job with Jethro Tull. Thanks so much for getting the request out sooner than expected - I thought it would drop in July because of all our requests. Lol. 🤪 Thanks for all the love 🤪

Spot on Michelle! I saw them in 72 or 73 in Ft. Worth, Texas when I was about 19 or 20. Thick As A Brick had come out not long before that. They played an abbreviated version from that album and then progressed backwards through their other albums, playing a few songs from each. In between albums they would leave the stage and a huge screen would drop down and play a little movieola that would lead into the next set of songs. It was so cool! Unlike anything we’d seen at a concert before! As the clip leading to Aqualung faded out Martin Barre walked up to a mic with a slip of paper in his hand and announced “Paging Mike Nelson. Paging Mike Nelson” who was the character in the 60s tv show Sea Hunt. A voice from the rear shouted out “Here! Here!” and Ian Anderson came down the aisle in wet suit, goggles and flippers taking the stage. It went dark and the rest of the band started playing a riff and when the lights came on with a flash there was Anderson in waistcoat, tights and boots, with flute in hand and simultaneously.... Dah Dah Dah Dah Da Da...Sitting on a park bench.... An intro I’ll NEVER forget! They finished the concert with Locomotive Breath, took their bows before a screaming crowd and left the stage. All the lights went out again except for a single spot that was trained on a lamp table with a telephone on it. The phone began to ring and rang about 15 or 20 times as a figure, who turned out to be Ian Anderson, walked to it, picked it up and said, “Yes. Yes.” then held it out towards the audience and said, “It’s for you...” laid the receiver down and left the stage to a thundering ovation! To this day the weirdest, most amazingly entertaining concert I’ve ever been to!

Two of their albums (Thick as a Brick" & "Passion Play") are single 40 minute plus single album-length compositions. Both are amazing. You're in for some treats as you explore these truly gifted musicians.

I remember driving with my Son and Daughter years later where I Played Aqualung for them. My son was about 5 and my daughter 3. At one point my daughter started to sing along and she sang " Spitting out Pits Like a Bad Duck ". I laughed so hard that I had to pull over because I didn't want to have an accident. My son is now 33 and he's a huge fan of Steely Dan and Led Zeppelin. My daughter is now 31 and likes Indie Alternative and Noise Rock. That's the thing about music.....

@thatoneguyagain2252 3 жыл бұрын

The main reason that Jethro Tull never gets lumped in with the early Metal bands is that there was so much diversity in their music. They could've stayed with one style of music and made that their thing, but Ian Anderson tended to get bored with doing one sort of music over and over again. His own interests covered such a wide variety, and the music he wrote and performed reflected that variety. ALL of the Jethro Tull albums are very different from each other, so much so that if you were to play one random song from each album, you wouldn't believe you were listening to the same band. One thing that's been lost in the sands of time is this: Tull was always one of the loudest bands when playing live. A great example is "Locomotive Breath". The first time I saw them (October 1975), LB was their last encore. As it began, the entire stage was dark except for one spotlight on the piano keyboard. The entire show had been really loud, but those first two piano notes were earth-shattering. By the time the rest of the band kicked in, the entire audience was jumping to the beat. A few years later I saw Black Sabbath at the same venue, and those first two piano notes were every bit as loud as Sabbath's entire set. I saw Tull five more times over the years, and the only show that wasn't crushing in volume was the one outdoors - in an enclosed place the volume was brutal. Sheer beauty, every time.

So I had heard of them from back then, but never really listened to them; kind of like what you said - that you had heard of them but until now hadn't really checked them out. Listening to 'Locomotive Breath' now is also my first reaction.

Locomotive Breath is one of those odd songs that was essentially constructed in pieces in the studio. Ian Anderson played bass drum and hi-hat to lay down the basic rhythm he was after. Bass and rhythm guitar were added, Clive Bunker added the toms and cymbals, Martin Barre added his solo, Anderson did the vocals and the flute parts and then the John Evan/Martin Barre intro was tacked on at the end. And then they played it live for thirty-odd years.

Hey Nick N Lex. One of my older brothers was into these guys and subsequently I got into them. They have some great songs. Glad you jumped down this rabbit hole. Living in the Past is a great song. Glad you both enjoyed them. Keep up the good work.

Saw Tull in an outdoor concert at Jacksonville, Florida, in 1973, while servicing in the U.S. Navy. Great concert!!!

I 've seen Jethro Tull about 10 years ago. Ian Anderson puts on a great show , prancing around while playing the flute. He reminds me of a pirate with a great sense of humor. I strongly recommend your next song to be Aqualung, the title cut. Take care!

A great reaction to a great classic! A fun fact is that the inventor of metal, Tony iommi of Black Sabbath, who also plays the flute, was briefly in Jethro Tull. He credits Jethro Tull with teaching him about work ethic and how to run a practice.

"My God" is one of my all time favorite Jethro Tull songs! The live version really shows off Ian Anderson's creativity with that flute.

I strongly recommend you try Gentle Giant. Their whole career took place in the 70s’ They are unique, eclectic, virtuosos. I started listening to them around 1980;and I still go back to their music regularly. I would start with The Advent of Panurge, off Octopus. One of the best song ever, in my view.

I concur kind sir after listening to Jethro Tull they are now fully prepared for Gentle Giant.Might I suggest the album acquiring the taste and the track Black Cat.My favorite album of course is The Missing Piece.

It's so nice to see young people discover the great music of the 70s. You have to work your way through the Jethro Tull catalog. Good albums to start with: Stand up, Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery. There are a lot more good things. Have fun doing it.🇩🇪

My older brother and sister-in-law were so in to Jethro Tull that they went to every concert and were even taking flute lessons.

@VinE83656 3 жыл бұрын

I will suggest some of my favorites because their catalog is massive and it's hard to make a list. I suggest: To Cry You a Song, A New Day Yesterday, Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day, Pussy Willow, Jack O Lynn, Songs from the Wood, Hunting Girl, Baker Street Muse, Minstrel in the Gallery, Dun Ringill, No Lullaby, Heavy Horses, One Brown Mouse, Velvet Green, Jack in the Green, Too Old to Rock n Roll Too Young to Die, Cold Wind to Valhalla. Of course you are aware of Aqualung, Cross Eyed Mary and Living in the Past. Note that Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play are both albums with one song on each record spanning both sides of the albums. There are edits from Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play found on Best Of and Greatest Hits type records.

Tull was such a great live band. Concerts were so much more affordable back then. By the time I graduated from Highschool in 1978 I had seen Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Led Zepplin, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Zappa, Jean Luc Ponty, Santana, Journey, Montrose, ZZ Top, Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Rick Derringer, Gary Wright, Springsteen, and more. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area was great in terms of concerts!

Jethro Tull is mostly Folk-Rock, although you can't really pinpoint the style exactly. Ian Anderson (flutist/ac.guitarist/singer/crazy performer) is a great composer and court jester.

AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC ALBUM FROM BEGINNING TO THE VERY END,, JETHRO TULL "SONGS FROM THE WOOD"

@tommathews3964 3 жыл бұрын

I really enjoy you guys!! Jethro Tull (actual person was a 1700s agriculturalist who invented the seed drill, among other implements) was absolutely one of the biggest bands in the world after the release of "Aqualung". It was quite an amazing tour!! You will not find a weak moment of this album, that I can promise you. There is a connection between "Aqualung" (the character, not the "record") and "Cross Eyed Mary", so you must explore that. You will need to know a bit of Brit slang to understand all of Aqualung (the song), but we'll get to that then. The albums "Stand Up" "Benefit" "Aqualung" "Thick As A Brick" "Passion Play" "Living In The Past" were the heyday of Tull for me, although I'm a fan of it all! Looking back, I'd say the biggest bands of the day (early, early, 70s) were Zeppelin, Tull, Yes, The Allman Brothers Band, ELP, The Stones, Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, Ten Years After, Santana, CSN(Y), and many others, but that's a pretty good list.

Jethro Tull or just the Tull. A great band from when i was a young lad but have you heard of Camel?Camel is an English progressive rock band formed in Guildford, Surrey, in 1971. i think you will like them.All the best from England and stay safe.
