First Time Reacting to Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Live)

[@richbrout16]

Jethro Tull are Progressive Gods. Very Deep Discography. Dig deep into this group you wont be disappointed. Cheers!!

[@mickeyhank]

He’s like a prancing and dancing woodland creature showing up briefly to entertain humans before disappearing back into the forest, the sound of the flute getting fainter as he bounds away, heading back to rejoin his fellow woodland inhabitants...Great reaction and appreciation, gals, of Ian and the lads.

[@Wolfsangel988]

Hahahahaha... I mean yes exactly.

[@mickeyhank]

@@Wolfsangel988 Go the wood! Check hollowed out tree trunks down low and three houses up high. Put your ear to the wind...If you’re lucky you’ll hear some flute floating upon the air. ‘Twill be a journey worth taking.

[@jimrupe9991]

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

Great to see you ladies finding Jethro Tull for the first time. One of my favorite bands for over fifty years, I've seen them live six times and always come away even more impressed. They have an incredibly diverse catalogue - each of their albums is completely different from all the others. There wasn't any type of music they couldn't play. There's so much material that there's no way to describe their music, let alone categorize it. Guitarist Martin Barre deserves special credit, as he can outplay nearly every other guitarist out there in every style he's played. A few things you might find hard to believe: Ian Anderson taught himself to play with the beginner's guide that came with his first flute. This concert was from the latter part of Tull's career - by that time Ian Anderson had slowed down quite a bit and wasn't singing as forcefully as before. "Locomotive Breath" was always one of the last songs in their set, so by this point in the show they'd already been onstage for more than an hour. Jethro Tull in concert played louder than Black Sabbath. I've seen them shake an arena with one note from the piano. Speaking of Sabbath, Tony Iommi very briefly replaced their original guitarist for a few weeks in 1969.

[@johnanderson8096]

My MiddleSchool years... Thank you!!! So Stoked you liked it... Ian Anderson was quite a character... Wish Id been related to him... left it all on the Line.. ala Janis Joplin/ Joe Cocker...

[@keymack2477]

Hi Juliet and Mia! Thank you for finally giving Jethro Tull a try, and I am pleased you enjoyed it! The lead singer/flautist is Ian Anderson and as you can tell he is an amazing storyteller and front man. If you are going to react to other Jethro Tull songs, and I would recommend you do, always opt for a live version, preferably from the 1970's or 820's when they were fresh and the group younger. Other songs to try out include Thick As A Brick, Aqualung, Cross Eyed Mary, Teacher, and for a lark Bungle In The Jungle! Enjoy and keep up the great work! Don't forget "Somebody I Used To Know" or "From Me To You", both as done by Walk Off The Earth! When you get there someday I'll be looking forward to saying, "See, I told you!" Peace!!!!

[@chrisegbertky]

Amazing! My favorite band when I was the age you are now. On the album this starts with a lovely piano partand then that great guitar riff. One of my all time favorite songs

[@tomdevore9576]

I saw them live several times in the '70's. Actually Aqaulung was the first album I bought in '70. My favorite prog band. They have a great song list, keep on rocking.

And yet, another great band and song! One of many songs I would listen to before running in track & field races, just to get me pumped up....lol! This group put out so many great songs.

[@The_Dudester]

In the movie Armageddon, Owen Wilson says:"I can't believe people don't know that Jethro Tull is a band." I was an instructor at that private school where Owen attended. For some reason guys at that school love Jethro Tull, and a few other groups (as well as Tolkien). It's like, to be cool you have to love these bands and Tolkien.

Great reaction ladies! Welcome to the world of progressive rock where musicianship is king. Aqualung and Locomotive Breath have long been the show closers of Tull shows.

[@danieljodrey8863]

Ian Anderson ALWAYS puts his all into his live performance. I had the pleasure to see them once from loge seating in Thousand Oaks. Unquestionably the best concert I ever attended. His band is tighter than a drum, and he leads it spectacularly. Great choice and awesome reaction. More please.

[@kevingoode4960]

Nice reaction! Jethro Tull was a british farmer in the 18th century who invented kind of a seed drill.

[@michaelgrillo4333]

Having seen Jethro Tull several times live all I can say they are masters on the stage and their music is beyond most. Yes they did get their roots in the blues. Check out "Stormy Monday" on You Tube look under Jethro Tull 20 years Album. The list of songs by this group that I listen to is much too long. If you liked this performance, you would enjoy most, I always like a live cut of "Nothing is Easy". Of course to listen to a master album of "Thick as a Brick" is beyond a journey. They are best known for the Aqualung album which this song was on. Stage presence was phenomenal as I said I was in Toronto watching the Jethro Tull band do a set of Aqualung when they paused while Clive did a piano cut when suddenly a big white rabbit came out and they started to play Thick as a Brick without any comment. Forty minutes later after the song and a pumped up crowd they began to play more of Aqualung; then they paused for a break and discussed Thick as a Brick before finishing the show. The critics had at them but in the end one of the most sought after albums ever.

[@zenclover8468]

"Nothing is easy" is a great Tull song live you don't see many call that out !

[@michaelgrillo4333]

@@zenclover8468 Thanks for the kick. I like to sign the song "Nothin is Easy" some days when the challenges are in front of me. A great album or two that might be worth acquiring is " Jethro Tull extended version" and "20 years of Jethro Tull - Rock 1988" they offer a broad selection of his tunes some off the top albums and others never released. Nothing is Easy" is an older song, but I followed him for years and enjoy a great deal of his music. I enjoy " Life Is A Long Song" ; Songs from the Wood" ; "Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll (Live)"; "Pussy Willow"; " and of course "Living in the Past" but the list could go on. I think every song on the extended version is quite well done. Ian retired last year and is going to maybe do a few things but he said the energy is low.

Ian Anderson is SO charismatic, he holds the audience completely in his power at all times. He is one of the greatest entertainers, easily on a par with the likes of Elvis, Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury.

My favourite song by Tull is Skating Away. (Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day). It’s more folk than rock, still beautiful though. Loved your reaction when he started playing the flute. He was actually self taught, and didn’t even hold his flute properly until later in his life. Great video, huge fan... you seen me before, you’ll see me again. ❤️wade
