Reasons you guys are the best reaction channel out there: 1- you don't pause the songs, and you keep talking during the songs at a minimum. 2- you notice little details in the music, even things buried in the mix. 3- you read the comments and listen to your subscribers. (It really does feel like a community! ) 4- you talk amongst yourselves, and try to find the deeper meanings of the songs. 5- my personal favorite reason - you've listened to the whole Pink Floyd discography! Keep it up guys!

@Flyin Pig Music Thank you so much, the fact that you and a couple others are expressing what specifically you find noteworthy in us that makes us different is truly humbling. This is the best passion project we could’ve embarked on right in the middle of College. And DAMN STRAIGHT on the Floyd roots. True story, I heard Dark side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish you were Here my senior year in High School, and knew I HAD to check out the roots to their sound. Started this channel very shortly after, watched a reaction for “Wish you were here” from Lost in Vegas sparking the match that got me wanting to do it, the rest is history. I knew that this genre and culture had something to offer that if anything I wanted to capture my personal reactions for my future self, and then having so many of you lovely folks joining along has just made it truly a blessing in regards to the type of culture we have developed together, passing the torch of good music/influence on to the next generation of music enthusiasts. So, thank you for having genuine acknowledgements on our quality it seriously means the world to me! Sorry for rambling, lol! Cheers friend see ya ‘round! 🔥🤟🏻😁

I was so engrossed with this band’s music that I managed to learn how to play the flute and it allowed me to play with a local band that was an incredible bar band that played everything from Hendrix, Sabbath, kiss, Judas Priest, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, etc and they were phenomenal. I loved playing with them and we did Cross Eyed Mary, Hymn 43, and Locomotive Breath and I did the vocals and the flute and the audience loved it as well as I did! Not many bar bands play Tull but my performance went well because I had the vocals that were very close to Ian Anderson as well as the flute playing. It was really cool to perform the music of Tull and a lot of the people in the bar were very impressed with my performance and I got a lot of free beers. Glad you guys like Tull and keep on checking out their catalog of albums-you’ll not be disappointed

I started listening to Jethro Tull in 1969, in my junior year in college, and haven't looked back since. Ian Anderson is a modern-day musical genius. As much as Aqualung and Thick As A Brick are my two top Tull albums, my top favorite true rock and roll Tull song of all time, musically speaking, is STEEL MONKEY from the album Crest of a Knave. If you don't review it, at least listen to it. You won't be disappointed.

Yea it’s cool to hear a couple of songs to get you into the band but the down fall of making every song a reaction video is that you can’t really do a full album reaction. Most people start getting bored during an album and don’t give the entire album the attention it deserves so they don’t think the album is that good. But once you hear a song or two you needs go ahead and hear the full thing.

If you guys are going to listen to more Tull, "Teacher" should be next on you're list. Just make sure you get the right version! The U.S. version includes Ian's flute, but the original release does not. The version with flute is (of course) much better. You should also check out "(Skating Away) On The Thin Ice Of A New Day", "Songs From The Wood", and "Thick As A Brick". They all showcase how the band's sound could change (in a good way) from album to album.

The story is that the record company was pushing Tull to tour even more than they had for Benefit, especially back to the US. Ian was okay with it - he’s still touring almost 50 years later! Clive Bunker was road-sick, wanted to stay home with family. Jeffery Hammond was new to the band since Aqualung (Ian Anderson’s schoolmate from art college) and John Evan (another school pal) had been with them only since the Benefit tour. Martin Barre was a trooper, he played with the band into the 2000s. It was a matter of practicality - the band needed a new drummer for the Aqualung tour and Barimore Barlow fit the bill.

Mr. Aitraining had it right...Tull isn't so much of a singles band, but more of a concept.

Even though he's losing his voice, he still plays his instruments like he did back in the day. I introduced a kid in one of my college classes to Tull, and he thanked me later on. It feels good seeing other college kids around my age jamming out to Tull. Consider me subbed haha.

Granted, there is a thread of God & Religion and alienation from society running through the some of the songs, but that's just because those were things on his mind at the time. For the best flute, "My God", both studio and live, and then no doubt the Madison Square Garden 1974 live version of Thick as a Brick.

Ian lyrics are so visual that you can picture Aqualung looking through the railings as they play.

@@Yaktahbay I must admit I haven't listened to the album in years. So you got me curious and I just checked out those two songs,on KZbin,and they are classic ' Tull! Thank You. P.S. 1972 the Chicago Stadium,a 9 year old me,saw his first concert,Jethro Tull.. There were cops at the gate searching everybody,for illegal substances,they took one look at me,patted me on the head and said "Have a nice concert,sonny".

North Sea Oil from Stormwatch is also a Rocker with decent flute. Very underrated album by Tull! Somethings on the Move from the same album is killer too.

Aqualung was NOT a concept album, this according to Ian Anderson. The erroneous idea that Aqualung was a concept album propelled Anderson to create, a tongue-in-cheek, concept album titled "Thick As A Brick". Watch/listen to some of his interviews to better understand where the band was coming from creatively.

There's only a handful of bands that drove 70s rock and Tull was one of them. Zep, Floyd, Purple, Stones, Sabbath, Tull and a few others each held a place in classic rock that was all their own. Epic

After getting acquainted with Jethro Tull, you have to find some 1970's footage of their concerts to appreciate what Ian Anderson adds visually. His costumes, facial expressions, and dancing will tell you SO much more about the whole experience. Enjoy!!

I'd like to see you react to several more Tull tunes: "My God", "Teacher", "Hymn 43" ... "Up to Me", "Living in the Past" ... So many great songs to choose from ...you should probably try to do entire albums (?) Great reactions and reflections ... Keep `em comin'!!!! 😃👍👍

Satori's comment sums up what I'd say about Tull. I saw them several times live back in the day (great concerts) and they don't disappoint. Others mention "Skating Away...", one of my favorite tunes to sing along with. I have side one of Thick As Brick memorized - the music and lyrical composition is amazing.... Freak out your college buds, become uber Tull fans and turn them on to their brilliance.

Try the "Bursting Out" live album. Best Tull concert I ever saw. The finale of the concert Cross-eyed Mary, Aqualung & Locomotive Breath is amazing.

The entire album is about one story. Cross Eyed Mary was the young girl Aqualung was peeping on that song. Which is why it is referenced in this one.
@minkgraver2 жыл бұрын
I know it would be too long for KZbin videos but for the vast majority of late 60s-70s-early 80s music, you have to listen to the albums start to finish because you do something taking songs out of context. That said, I get great joy watching your journey through the music of my life ❤️ Thanks so much for keeping this art alive

Guys - what you can never do is go back in time to when this first came out, and hear it in the context of the other music of the day. It was so different from anything else, and had a harder rock sound, for the time, than you can appreciate today.
@pmb42003 жыл бұрын
The reference to Aqualung is about her, sitting on a park bench, watching Aqualung watch the children in the park as they play, connecting her back to the Aqualung song. I imagine her on the other side of the park, watching him, watch them.
@Randsurfer4 жыл бұрын
Aqualung album: One side (in the days when albums were vinyl and had "sides") was songs about the grittiness of life, the material world. The other side was songs about religious ideas, both the beauty of it and also the hypocrisy of it, as well as musings about "the meaning of life" (see Locomotive Breath or slipstream). "My God", "Wind Up", and "Hymn 43" are all very powerful commentary on Religion, especially the version found in growing up in "Church of England" Britain in the 50's as Ian Anderson did.
