Ian Anderson, the flautist in Jethro Tull grew his own branch of rocks history tree. This band owned me for a while in early ‘70’s, the Aqualung album played over and over.

[@karenmandeville7116]

for me it was Thick As a Brick and Passion Play. Even bought a used flute and the sheet music so i could learn his runs.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Same!

[@michelelaraia7358]

Chrysalis 1971

[@tomm9493]

My favorites are Thick As A Brick and Stand Up.

[@ThatandCo]

self taught and only found out years later when his daughter took up the flute that he was holding it wrong to the snickers of his daughter and the other girls . now besides still rocking he's one of England's largest trout farmers !

[@donaldcarey114]

Not trout, salmon (he's sold the estate since).

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

Tull is one of my two favorite bands. My husband and i bonded over this music

[@mrnobody9104]

His flute playing is so percussive it's always struck a cord with me!!! Ian Anderson is one of the all time greatest artists period!

[@mrnobody3161]

Mr.Nobody agrees 😅✌👀🥱

[@emole9511]

The picture is distorted. What a waste. It is completely Jethro Tull unworthy! 😢

[@erict956]

Ian Anderson's on stage persona is that of a medieval minstrel/troubadour and the bands music links traditional folk music with heavy rock music. There was a time in the 70's that people didn't need to take drugs they just listened to Jethro Tull.

[@farfromperfek]

Seen him 4 times live. Ian is a master showman, entertainer, musician, song writer and pretty much anything else he wants to do.

[@Joemartin-g5b]

He's coming to California in September

[@thomasburt8995]

I've been fortunate enough to see Ian twice in my lifetime. Once in his earlier days, and later on in life. Both times he amazed me. 100% entertainment. Even in his late 50's he would fly across the stage with his flute twirling in the air.

[@patriciapowell6047]

I saw then live once...amazing

[@stevedotwood]

The medieval jester/minstrel. It's more about organized religion. He's a great storyteller and performer. Apart from being a master at flute playing, he is an acomplished acoustic guitar player as well. His name is Ian Anderson, and he's scottish

[@BridewellSeniorTube]

You made such a good musical choice choosing Jethro Tull, Brit 😊

[@davidscott6611]

Thanks lady. You bring back memories and make me smile.

[@thesoundship]

An out of body experience to hear Ian play the flute...........I can sure agreee on that one.

[@timnealon1930]

Britt! Is right on it! As Ian hits it she is right there! Acknowleging EVERYTHING! I really love this girl and her feelings (she's quite beauitiful also!!!!!) is really fun to be with!

[@somersetcace1]

Ian Anderson took that instrument and made it into something very few people could have envisioned. It's always entertaining seeing a classical flautist react to him for the first time, because he did nothing `correctly,` all sorts of things they never even thought of and it's amazing.

[@sethleon2158]

What some Rahsaan Rolland Kirk and you will see where he got his inspiration.

[@meyou-dv8ns]

Many classical flute players hate Ians playing. it is wrong and the sound is very cheesy and light and week, I remember when I was young like 12 years old and I had all the Tull albums and was a Tull freak like in 1975 someone told me about Ians weak shitty playing and I freaked out I was mad as hell, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT. I thought, but as I got older and listened to the first Album and the crappy light weak flute playing I knew I was wrong, then I hear Ian himself say how bad he was and how much better he got by 1977 then even better by 1998 and so on and so on ,even his daughter who took up the flute in school in 2001 told him "Daddy your Holding the flutecwrong, put you pinky on this note and that will make it more easy to play scales" lol. Ian was like "WOW Shes Right" !! Having said that WHO CARES !!!! He is fucking great no matter how he playis !!!! He knows what notes to play and thats all that counts so fuck you !!!!

[@christinebakewell3475]

I’ve listened to the Tull since the late sixties ( very underground in them days ) Ian started as a guitarist but one day when walking past a shop saw a flute for sale and bought it ( spur of the moment) taught himself - so his sound is uniquely awesome- try - living in the past album or - aqualung album - both great . P.s. locomotive breath - brilliant track.

[@pilesovinyl]

One of the best showmen of rock and such a talented musician. He's underrated on acoustic guitar as well and he can play a bit of sax too.

[@johnhess7225]

A true rock showman. Saw them in Pittsburgh 1973

[@Valhalrik]

He Now Runs a Fishery In his hometown and supports the People with Jobs Where he Grew UP.

[@paullacroix527]

Great stuff Britt. Yes Ian is spectacular. One of the great frontmen of classic rock. I do feel you have the right idea of the song meaning. He does a 10min solo 1976 in Tampa Bay which is special. Glad you found Tull.

[@deepermind4884]

Hey Brett! I just discovered your channel, & it looks like I'm gonna enjoy spending time with you & your journey 😊 I like your approach. Jethro Tull is an almost bottomless pit of brilliance. Gonna have some fun checking out your catalog here! Peace & Love❤ Danny

[@LewDanLascivious8276]

The reason why you didn't hear some of those lyrics that you read and heard different ones in their place is because when this was played live it was before they actually put out the finished version on the album "Aqualung" which was the come a year or two later. Basically the premise of this song is saying that men use God for their own purposes to make a profit off him and/or bend God's rules to fit how men want to live like all these televangelists who tell people to give them their money and their prayers will be answered hence the lyrics: "People what have you done? Locked him (God) in his golden cage, made him bend to your religion" Jethro Tull has always been one of the most technically sound Progressive rock bands of all time and one of my top three favorite bands of all-time too. Their musical library is bountiful to say the least. If you like this you'll absolutely love Jethro Tull live at MSG 1982 doing "Locomotive breath", the flute solo in that will completely blow your mind.🤯😂

[@danielbenincasa770]

Oh and his song called Aqualung. Great song & he is by far the best rock Flutist ever. So so damn good

[@willieboy3011]

European Folk, blues, flute, and Ian Anderson's flute. I saw them in 70s. Awesome show.

[@ballhawk387]

Interesting reaction, enjoyed it. The mid 60s to early 70s were a magical time for music. Ian Anderson and others were tossing out all the rules and doing things with their instruments nobody else thought to do, as were producers and engineers in the studio. And the whisper to a scream *dynamics* of some of the music of Jethro Tull, along with other contemporaries such as The Who, King Crimson, and early Genesis. Wow!

[@stephenignatz8364]

I am a long time fan of Tull and you picked probably my FAVOITE all time live performances! Ian Anderson at his crazy best. Great Choice. Love IT!! Great reaction.

[@Deceased858]

Ian was self taught for the flute I believe. Have been listening to them for 50 years.😊

[@kazoosc]

he taught himself. then a couple decades later, his daughter told him he was playing it wrong -- and he relearned it.

[@jimp4666]

Hi Britt, He used some different lyrics in this live performance. This was a new (unreleased) song at the time of the show and the studio version that made it into Aqualung album used the lyrics you were reading. :)

[@pewpewpewAK47]

Check out Locomotive Breath... Love Jethro Tulll...

[@quintondees4501]

Incredible band here, the talent was insane

[@smythharris2635]

Just a group of men who drifted in from the 13th century and plugged into an oak tree in the woods.

[@davemiii]

So I'm a relative newcomer to your channel and this comment is 9 months after the fact so I'm not sure if you will see it, but I have to commend you on your review. You were really into it and not just going through the motions. I'm a pretty big Jethro Tull fan and this vid is one of my favs and I've watched it probably dozen of times. But I never noticed the little one handed "flip-flip" he does with the flute that you described at about 10:30! Love it so much that you're that into it!

[@davemiii]

... went back and watched the original, this is at about 7:50-ish

[@alexandrorocca7142]

Watch professional flutists react to Ian: "I had no idea you could do that".

[@jermaschinot]

great reaction thanks!

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

The tune "Nothing Is Easy" is as impressive as this one is, but he has many great songs, the lyrics of which are sometimes very deep, like this one. The one-legged pose is kind of a trademark of his. : ^)

[@tysoncampbell4607]

In this video he had only been playing the flute for 2 years, self taught!! I’ve seen a reaction video with this song and she is a 15 year old flute teacher and she was speechless and said he was flawless!!! He went to a pawn shop to buy a guitar but could only afford a flute so he bought it

[@thomasmessina6850]

Oh MY GOD

[@bobdelp2023]

SO THIS FROM THEIR MASTER GEM 71 ALBUM ( AQUALUNG ) 😊 IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL STUDIO VERSION BUT THISSSSS KICKS ASS HERE BRITT! 😊

[@timtatum1]

Can't go wrong with Tull.

[@jaimescott3041]

Hell yes

Tune & reaction

[@twwtjohns]

I'll bet you didn't know the flute was a heavy metal instrument did you? In 1989 Jethro Tull beat out Metallica to win the Grammy for best Heavy Metal Album the first year of the award.

[@mkelly1347]

This song is just as relevant today as it was back in 1972. This was an anti-organized religion, specific to the Church of England.

[@johnquirk845]

There is a state church in the United Kingdom. The song needs to be understood in that light.

[@michaelstewart1723]

Check out jazz musician Rahsan Roland Kirk... Ian Anderson got a lot of his chops from him....

I hope you like this as much as I do.😊

Rebellion against rigid organized religion. Makes sense to me. A free person in spirituality, worship and morals needs to find their path.

[@joelong7448]

Reminds me of Opera.

[@cayminlast]

It's kind of funny, scary and sad all at the same time, that music I have been listening to for many decades is being listened to for the very first time. I do appreciate that younger generations are discovering these classic bands and their music.

[@fredpierce9363]

I wonder what it would be like living next door to Ian Anderson?

[@coendeneef5895]

70'' we freak out

[@billholder1330]

Ian Anderson's rather harsh personal assessment of the Church of England. Runs throughout the early albums, but particularly here, this one, Hymn 43, and my personal favorite, Wind Up. You should check out the whole album, but particularly those two. Lyrics are brutal but sincere.

[@MrGlastar1]

Have a read of the BACK OF ALBUM! ;)

[@styleisaweapon]

The crazy thing is that Ian has COPD

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

What you're hearing is medieval, madrigal

[@kathleensmith3555]

I loved your reaction -- I am looking forward to seeing you do more Tull --- Ian is indeed a poet and I can see that you understand his quirky Monty Pythonistic sense of humor -- There are many many great songs yet to hear --- Try Nothing is Easy -- or The Witches Promise -- I know you will get to some of the more popular ones someday but I like the hidden gems more

Yeah I'm a girl you're going to have to check out Roland Kirk he's the inspiration he's the guy that Ian listen to and took a lot of his style so yeah you look to check Rod Roland Kirk check out a song he does called serenade to a cuckoo yeah cuz Ian Anderson he uses a lot of breathing and singing into the flute while he's playing and all that sort of thing it creates such a rich sound

[@benoitdemers3611]

I'm very surprise you dont know but he's not a popular choice but hes the master of (flute traversière in french) the last time i ear he's name its more then 40 years ago

Ian Anderson taught himself to play the Flute. Lots of good tunes from these out there. I personally don't think this is one of their best.

[@akven0m]

He's totally self taught on the flute.

WELL IAN WAS NEVERRRRR AGAINST RELIGION ITSELF BRITT 😊, HE WAS JUST ALWAYS AGAINST ( ORGANIZED ) RELIGION 😮

[@giuliogrifi7739]

I don't like very much this live version.....Anderson, in live shows, used to stage the "magical elf".....the original studio version from the album "Aqualung" is strange...haunting....captivating...in the end, is better !!.

[@jermaschinot]

I truly hope you don't hate unsolicited advice but... It would sure be nice if we could see the amazing video. Thanks!

[@davidtullis2810]

It's minstrel style

[@R._Thornhill]

I’m thoroughly thinking that Ian Anderson is non-human.

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

Ian Free Styles and Signals the Band to Come in at the Right Time.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

My God is Ian Anderson attacking religious leaders for using religion for their own wants and gains. This message is more important now then the day this song was written considering abortion. Anderson also believes people don't need to talk through religious leaders to talk to God. He believes people can talk directly to God

[@reginaldleblond1691]

“Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:20) is a profound declaration made by Jesus Christ that emphasizes the power and importance of communal prayer and fellowship in the Christian faith.

[@vicprovost2561]

Jethro Tull has been a part of my life since I stumbled into their 2nd album, Stand Up, at my friend's house in 1970. Anything they did in the late 60s or 70s is pure gold, they were a genre unto themslves, with elements of Rock, Folk, Blues, Jazz, Prog, New Age and Classical in a marvelous stew of great songs and epics that rock, surprise and entertain. I saw them 7 times from 1972 to 1994, once in the front row, 3 feet from Ian Anderson, yes, he is a freaking alien, genius, musical savant the likes of which we'll never see again. Do With You There to Help Me for more majestic flute in a great song. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@DavidClark-es1ww]

Right on, Vic, I grew up with Ian Anderson and his flute,....Jethro Tull forever!!!!

[@DavidClark-es1ww]

Is'nt he something Britt? I mean,.....can we talk?👍🧐😊

[@dboss7239]

The studio version has a less outrageous flute solo and instead has a Gregorian chant (monks), which is what you were trying to describe with the initial chord progression. it is the same chords used in old monks chanting... And that studio version has the extra lines. His thrust here and in another similar song from Aqualung album, called "Wind Up" is that you don't need religion to find and know God. The key line from "Wind Up" is "I don't believe you, you have the whole damn thing all wrong, He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays"... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGalmZyZjsmoeZo (Wind Up 1977)

[@DavidClark-es1ww]

No question about it, a true out of body experience, as you observed!♊❤️🦬👍😂

[@johntravers9426]

may i suggest and highly recommend "thick as a brick" live from madison square garden 1978 tour for your next Jethro experience ....i promise your gonna love it

[@jerrypost9651]

Ian is calling out the hypocrisy in organized religion. He challenges the notion of an external God saying right at the outset, "He's inside you and me." I'm so glad you are discovering the brilliance of this band. I would suggest another song in a similar vein, ,"Wind up." It's epic. Now go have that day that you deserve, sweet Britt. ♥️

[@DavidClark-es1ww]

I can't help but agree, Jerry,....well observed Britt!👍🦬❤️♊

[@stephaniethurmer5370]

You should read the story on the back of the album Aqualung from which I believe this song is on. It is an interesting take on religion . Enjoy your journey with Jethro Tull. Interestingly enough Jethro Tull was a real person and invented the seed drill. A Tull concert was always an interesting experience.

[@timwestcott361]

Saw them in 1972 touring Thick As A Brick. The first real superstar front man. Did it all. Extraordinary performer. And always dark humour and observation.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

The Truth will make you lose your religion. When you lose your religion, you find the light. Every religion has foreboding. When you deny others because they do not believe in what you believe, you become that which you fear. There is no shame in Atheism if you are a decent human bean! 🥜

[@RMForbes505]

This song is primarily about how Ian felt about organized religion, specifically the Church of England which defined the culture he grew up within. He wasn't a fan of the hypocrisy, obviously.

[@albertzappa1994]

I saw a flutes reactor say that what he was doing with the flute was really hard.💚

[@SPXConyers]

Formed in 1967, Still recording and touring today! A vast library to explore!!! Enjoy!!! Try 'Thick as a Brick' Live at Madison Square Garden 1978!!! I've seen them dozens of times through the decades and they never dissapoint! Thank You for your reaction! This song was a respectful look at God, but a cynical look at organized religions!

[@neilandfi]

If you want a Tull experience these days you can still have it, but not from Jethro Tull. The band with the name is now pretty much Anderson, with others doing the singing because his voice has gone... and a bunch of session players. But if you go see the Martin Barre band (Barre being the guitarist), you will find his band is made of of members of JT from these days, Aqualung, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses etc... Dee Palmer on keys, Clive Bunker on drums and so on. Barre's singer, Danny, sounds uncannily like Anderson did before his voice went. I saw them at Fairport's Cropredy Festival a few years back, so as Dave Pegg is both ex Tull and Fairport Convention's bassist, he took that role.

[@SPXConyers]

@@neilandfi I've been fortunate enough to see Tull dozens of times through the years! I've also seen Martin Barre in concert! I consider both acts extremely entertaining on many levels! Ian's songwriting and flute playing continue to sparkle! Martin's down to earth friendliness is refreshing! Blessings all around. Tull's lineup has evolved through the years. This current lineup is quite talented and with the incorporation of multi media the shows are fun! Looking forward to the new album, 'RokFlote'!!!

[@tomm9493]

I was at MSG in '78 when they performed it. Something I'll "hopefully" never forget!

[@ticnatz]

Ian Anderson....what an artist. And this one of his relatively lesser known songs. There is so much good stuff in Jethro Tull's catalogue...

[@corawheeler9355]

The band Jethro Tull began in 1967 with frontman Ian Anderson playing harmonica and guitar. As you see on the beginning of My God, Ian plays guitar quite well. But, he says he saw Clapton and knew he would never be that good. So, he bought a flute and taught himself to play it. When this was recorded in 1970, Ian had been on the flute for only a couple of years. Over 50 years, and more than 20 albums later, Ian is still writing, recording, and performing. Treat yourself to a live performance of 'Thick As A Brick'.

[@greendragonpublishing]

The list of 'rock star flautists' is really short, but Ian Anderson is absolutely at the top!

[@genegibson1690]

He is playing this superb acoustic guitar

[@amosglitterz2649]

When these guys to the acoustic route, I picture the Old English troubadours. The 'Tales from the Wood' album, a good example. One of my first concerts I attended as a kid was their 'Thick as a Brick' album tour. Also, he went on to be a fish farmer. Raised fish to sell to restaurants. (Don't know if he still does it. though.)

[@dsgp7835]

Ian was a mid evil troubadour in a past life. His sound is mystical and from long ago. It also reminds me of my past, the soundtrack of my highschool years.

[@tomvenner6030]

I think you mean "medieval". I don't know what "mid evil" is?

[@ContrarianCorner]

_"Ian was a mid evil troubadour in a past life."_ I think he's one in this life too. I discovered Jethro Tull through a school friend back when I was in Jr. High around 1975. It was so unlike anything I'd ever heard before that I couldn't get enough of it. Anderson and Tull are truly one of a kind.

[@thor8580]

Killer self taught flute player absolutely amazing.

[@martchristy9981]

Excellent reaction...but, did you know that Ian Anderson's daughter, after a lesson in flute playing in school, came home with the remark 'Daddy, the way you play flute is all wrong!' Of course, Ian, like a lot of musicians of the day, was fully self taught. Wrong it may be, but it sounds fine to me!

[@elliecanty1110]

Saw them twice in the 70s. Mind blowing in concert 😅

[@martinperry5072]

What I like about your reactions is that you actually read the lyrics. The music intensifies the meaning of the lyrics, but the lyrics are what the song is about. Your next God sone? XTC's "Dear God."

[@hillbillyhippie4235]

Nice job young lady, Jethro Tull- Aqualung (live in London 1977 ) is very good also

[@stevedahlberg8680]

What a fantastic reaction! And you picked a great video for it. With Jethro Tull their live performances of songs are almost always somewhat different than the album version. I love his unique style of playing a flute and it truly is virtuoso.❤

[@scotttrainer9704]

He may not have taken himself seriously, but he took his art so seriously that he refused drugs and alcohol during a time when it was common among rock groups.

[@KevinRCarr]

Named my youngest after Mr. Anderson, because I thought the name Ian was cool and I loved how different Jethro Tull was from everyone else in the early 70s. Didn't realize the sort of manic energy and intensity I was accidentally bestowing on The Kid by giving him that name in honor of this fellow. 😁 He's now the sort of high school teacher that kids look forward to class with and principals keep an eye on.
