Jethro Tull are a British progressive rock band formed in 1967. The group’s founder Ian Anderson plays flute & acoustic guitar & is the lead singer & quite a showman. They've had a lot of different members over the years. They had a lot of great songs such as "Thick As A Brick", "Aqualung", "Living In The Past", "Songs From The Wood", "A New Day Yesterday", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Sweet Dream", "Life’s A Long Song" etc.

[@metallusmelandril7380]

Mother Goose! And the whole songs from the wood

[@JayCross]

I love their entire catalog, but to someone new to Jethro Tull, I would say that Ian Anderson saw himself as a troubadour, and a most of his music is calmer and less punchy. Aqualung is the other song this rock-oriented.

[@kingbeauregard]

You know what I love about "Locomotive Breath" reaction videos (yes I seek them out)? That moment when he breaks out his flute, and the person gets a look on their face like nothing makes sense any longer. Then I get a big dumb smile on my face, because while I can't hear Jethro Tull "fresh" any longer (I started listening 40 years ag0), I can feel it just a little bit through other people's reactions. Anyway, I enjoyed this a lot!

[@br1Brown]

Same; although I have only heard them for 10 years

[@MrColpy]

Me too. I was introduced to Benefit (the album) in 1970, been a Tull fan ever since, and I watch reviews in exactly the same way you do.

[@zwieseler]

Tull were one of the sharpest, tightest most creative bands In the rock era. Martin Barre is one of the most underrated guitarists of their time, even though Jethro Tull won the first ever Grammy for heavy metal. Love’em. They had so much depth. Listen to Skating Away on the thin ice of a new day, for something different.

[@robgoodwin8329]

Try 'Thick as a Brick' live. Another Tull performance.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Check out the album... "Aqualung." It's cleaner. P.S. Jethro Tull was a progressive English agriculturist in the 1600-1700. No one in the band is Jethro Tull. The wild-eyed flute player (and multi-instrumentalist) is Ian Anderson. Martin Barr plays guitar. Check out "Thick As A Brick" "Passion Play" "Mistral In The Gallery." "Songs From The Woods"... for the more open minded. Peace on earth.

[@williamcapp448]

Speaking of a warrior, they do a song called Broadsword.

[@dunringill1747]

You must check out Jethro Tull's 'Thick as a Brick' live 1978 or the 1977 version.

[@pattardn]

Tull IS the greatest band on the planet. It is peerless.

[@scotttrainer9704]

Jethro Tull was actually a agriculturalist and Inventor from the late 1600's into the 1700's.

[@kingbeauregard]

Yes! And this band got named after him by random: when this band was getting started, they were pretty terrible, and couldn't get booked twice at the same venue unless they changed their name. Well, the first week they weren't terrible, their random name was Jethro Tull, and it stuck.

[@Nichols_Santa]

the guitarist Martin Barre is one of the unsung masters in Rock. completely awesome on so many levels.

[@CliveAdlam-yn8uz]

Ian Anderson , vocalist and flutist is a Scottish gentleman, 76 years of age .Check out "Living in.the past".You wont be disappointed. Respect.

[@Ozarkprepper643]

Ian Anderson the self-taught flute player. We seen them in 1976 in Tampa FL. High energy through the whole show. They had many hits for some nice harmony songs from the wood. And they do a real nice cover their own way of Mozart's Bourree. There were other bands that featured flutes but Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson did the most. Grand Funk Railroad I'm your Captain utilizes a flute. I suggest you give them a listen. Their best song is Inside Looking Out. The band Focus feature the flute in many other songs. The most well known and hilarious is Hocus Pocus. Moody Blues Genesis The Beatles Frank Zappa. (Actually Zappa uses just about every instrument there is in his music. ) All used flutes. And can think of a dozen more I left off. ✌️🤠🏞️🐂

[@frankperry1111]

Big Jethro Tull fan here. For some more spectacular flute playing listen to Nights In White Satin by The Moody Blues. The late great Ray Thomas played flute in that band.

[@lukemartincevic107]

Ian Anderson is self taught on the flute. You have to watch/hear “God” if you want to experience the most awaking flute. Thick as a Brick is a real experience. He told his producer that he wanted to record a new album. The producer asked him if he had enough material for an album. He said is he had one song. That album is one song. Interesting fact, one year Metallica got a Grammy and they started their acceptance speech by that king Jethro Tull for NOT releasing an album that year. Tull has a treasure trove of tunes, with a new album being released in 2023. Going long, and going strong.

[@mtnprivy]

Ace, the song is a metaphor. The train is time/global warming/human history, and it's bearing down on us, and ready to run us over !!! I guess old.charlie.is.god, and the train is out of control !!!

[@Sopmylo]

Man discovers Jethro Tull incorporated the flute

[@mikebunner3498]

My first time on your channel. You said check out something else. Well my man, you are at the right place. Tull were ground breakers. And Ian the singer was great!!!! Wait for the flute! There are certain ROCK songs that you know in the first few notes. This is one of them. Get ready for the flute..... Speaking of the flute, Ian was questioned about the flute. Ian said a flute is easier to carry than a piano. Jethro Tull is the band.. The man singing is Ian Anderson.. I have watched other videos presented by professional flutists and they say this is a master class in flute!!! Ian could play a number of instruments well. Take care man.....

[@scottfricke6901]

I think that version is fairly okay but you must listen to the studio version of Locomotive Breath…or any version with the original introduction

[@58andyr]

Of course. Ian Anderson was to the Flute what Jimi H was to the guitar! And yes they were big and we dId see then everyday!

[@maryannturton9830]

Ian Andersen slays the flute ,as Eddie Van Halen slays a guitar,as Neal Peart slays the drums...🎶😁

[@robgoodwin8329]

Guitarist is Martin Barre - a world class guitarist. The bassist is Dave Pegg who at that time was also in a very well known folk band here in the uk. That meant that the two bands were joined together and had to tour together because they shared a member.

[@lisahaverluk4037]

Real talent 😊😊😊😊

[@The1davidb]

Great music takes be back to the 70’s

[@bethphillips9693]

I was fortunate to see them in person about 40 years ago. LOVE them!

[@patdonnelly9392]

Lucky dog!!

[@CliveAdlam-yn8uz]

Lucky man.

[@alpenhuhn1]

You would enjoy Thick as a brick live from Jethro Tull!

[@ggoflove7253]

Reminds me when I was teen. Great time 😀

[@lancevaughn432]

My first concert I was 13 1971 Jethro Tull, the Aqualung tour. I’m 65 and still listen to them. Some Jethro Tull albums Aqualung, Stand Up, Thick as a Brick, Minstrels in The Gallery, and many more.

[@corawheeler9355]

I've subscribed because I know you'll want to hear more Tull. Singer/song writer, Ian Anderson started with guitar, but says he heard Eric Clapton and knew he would never be that good. So he bought a flute and taught himself to play it.

[@brianmoller353]

4:03 "NO WAY...!?" Exactly my reaction back in 1972 Ace! Saw the band again last year at the Apollo Theatre in Paris... Ian is still freaking hot on the flute.

[@danallshaw1131]

Tull always tells a great story. A rabbit hole you will probably dig.😎

[@Prone2Thrill]

Gotta love first flute exposures from Ian (aka Ron Burgandy) - Toni Iommi (Blk Sabbath guitarist) was once invited to join Jethro Tull, can you imagine! Ian was playing guitar until he heard Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, then he SELF TAUGHT himself on the flute instead. OMG

[@bethphillips9693]

Did you ever watch The Walking Dead? The singer's daughter is married to Andrew Lincoln.

[@howardsmith9342]

If you like Ian Anderson on the flute you'll love Bon Scott from AC/DC on the bagpipes!

[@patdonnelly9392]

Oh, I had to subscribe because you are so animated ...so fun to watch! Thank you for reacting to Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson is a brilliant writer/musician/singer. (self-taught on the flute.) So entertaining, so energetic. Thank you for having an open mind and listening to cool stuff from before you were born. This world needs more curious young people like yourself!

[@steverobey711]

Hi coming from England I was listening to this Awesome music , also I have seen Jethro TULL live and they were Awesome , I am now retired and still listening to this Awesome music, all the best from Nottinghamshire UK👍👍👍

[@edwardthorne9875]

This song is about the advances in technology and the speed of changes coming at us. There is no way to slow down. We can look around us, and see coming true the warning that we heard many years ago. Ian Anderson was both gifted musician and a gifted performer. Saw them twice in concert -- very memorable. Ian took a short break towards the rear of the stage -- I yelled 'Yo Ian', and caught his eye -- I gave him a raised fist, and he actually responded in like. Yay - COMMUNICATION!

[@Cashcrop54]

The Moody Blues had a flute player but not as rocking as JT. And there is no one like Ian Anderson. I saw them around this time and everybody was rocking and jumping all thru the concert. Amazing and talented group!

[@brentgeller3489]

Frontman Ian Anderson plays flute and guitar and performs all of the lead vocals. He added some dramatic flair to the music via his facial expressions. I saw the band while living in New York at the Nassau County Coliseum. The bad was on a tour promoting Thick As A Brick at the time.

[@bethhowton2719]

I've seen them 5 times in my life and they make it back to Houston I would go again. They are touring in Europe now and released a new album maybe two months ago. Enjoy

[@horstschafer1839]

Bad luck for you, At the start you came from one hit number to the next, but greatest, on my opinion! There were a lit great numbers, but Locomitive Breath is still the greatest Hit in Mid Europe,I think!!!!

[@wernermcgann3792]

First saw tull in 1969, been watching them ever since, awesome

[@GregPiper-tz6oi]

The classic rock band Jethro Tull was on a different level. They could play all genres well, even classical, and could be the most underrated band of all time.

[@donnagavin4825]

React to Jethro Tull doing Thick as a Brick live.

[@williamcabell142]

England produced so much talent in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s was due to the boomer kids, because of the English after the war to get music into the country. Music class was mandatory!

[@williammackenzie6115]

So Did Scotland,Ian Anderson was born in Scotland.

[@cousmaster]

play the studio version

[@RonDuncan-m9g]

I sing harmony to jethro tull my voice can imitate Ian A. But i can only do it as harmony singing along .

[@bobcarn]

Jethro Tull was an amazing prog-rock band! Besides a flute, they also had an accordian in one song. They really were incredible.

[@crazexskater]

AC/DC has a song with bagpipes...

[@philipsavickas4860]

on the original recording of this Ian played all but the piano for this song to show the band how he wanted it dun

[@tomwagner4406]

This is a rock concert version of this song, the studio version has more of a sophistication to it

[@ragnarmyhr7238]

Ian Anderson, the one an only. Can't be better.

[@ugaais]

Do thick as a brick live it will blow you away more than this
