Ian Anderson is a one of a kind. Heaviest flute player ever in rock music.

[@DHFHades]

you've obviously never heard bloodywood...lol

[@nikolaimikhail7774]

@@DHFHades I have, and Ian Anderson is still undeniably the best

[@bbiermanster]

Studio versions aren't always the best. Jethro Tull and Yes often sound better live because they're such good performers. Lookup Yessongs for a playlist of smokin live Yes recordings.

[@DHFHades]

@@bbiermanster fair enough, I'd never seen them live before.

[@100proofcrew]

Theres only 1 arguement to someone saying the flute is uncool, and that is Ian Anderson

[@letzrockitrite8469]

I've loved em since the 70's graduated in 73... love to see your reaction ... it's great ! . thank you !

[@timrscott]

Saw Ian Anderson interviewed years ago and the man is brilliant. He said he never drank or tried drugs because he saw what happened to others and he knew that because he did everything 110% he would be gone in no time. Great self awareness.

[@medmar76]

Jethro Tull actually refused to perform at Woodstock because of their dislike of hippie culture and the use of drugs and alcohol at the events.

[@buuuubbubuhbu]

He did smoke his lungs out though ahah

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

He did, and does, drink. Ian Anderson’s Guide To Indian Food on the Tull website heartily recommends Cobra Beer as an accompaniment to a curry. But he has never been one to drink to excess, that’s for sure.

[@grimmj0ker]

Ian never did coke....coke did Ian...

[@valkyrie1066]

He owns a whole salmon farming setup. Saved all that drug money and bought fish. He's very very well off, not like a lot of musicians who party all their cash away.

[@MasterThimself]

"whoever is on that drums..." that, my man, is the great Barriemore Barlow. One of the best and at the same time most underrated rock drummers. And those where John Bonhams (of led zeppelin) words

I've always appreciated his drumming. In fact, it stood out.

[@shaunkelly9860]

The best drummer in the world.

[@brendanbarrett8421]

It's the Primus effect. Or the Queen effect. You know what I mean. When your frontman is so above and beyond, fantastic players become background noise.

[@shaunkelly9860]

@Joel Springman I am pretty sure it's Jeffrey playing on the song. Glenn was still with the band during rehearsals but had left by the time the album was recorded, he has no credits on the 'Aqualung' album, although there is a rumour that he played bass on Wondring Aloud on the album.

It’s like a Renaissance Fair did acid with Led Zeppelin. Hell of a show!

[@leechurchill1965]

That's the textbook definition of Jethro Tull

[@lorilove2255]

I totally agree with you, especially the acoustic part

[@Freempg]

Aqualung was recorded in 1970 at the same time and in the same studio as Led Zeppelin was recording Zeppelin 4. Tull lead guitarist Barre was best buddies with Jimmy Page. He was recording the solo to Aqualung when Page walked by the studio window and waved, Barre couldn't wave back or he would have had to take another run at the solo.

[@Banyandio]

You nailed it right there!

[@mwfmtnman]

Well stated

[@TheGreatPresenter]

Jethro Tull was an English agricultural pioneer from Berkshire who helped bring about the British Agricultural Revolution. They were just showing that they had education :D

[@zammyr6807]

Ian Anderson is not just a hell of a performer, he's also a brilliant storyteller, and I don't mean just lyrically. I see you get it by watching him live.

[@TheFunkadelicFan]

Ian Anderson respects his audience - he thinks people should get their money's worth.

[@crafts73]

So glad you're going through the whole album. It's phenomenal. What can I say, that's just how good it was back then. Now imagine the stage with fog, his tall top-hat on with long tail jacket, tights and tall boots dancing all over the stage, still holding on to his flute, like a madman! Concerts were other worldly! Those were the days my friend! You'd be hoarse and high as a kite after his concerts, needing a place to go, to come back down. Brings back soooo many memories watching you react to our music. Lol. Enjoy it, we sure did!

[@jshanks1001]

Definitely Thick as a Brick, but probably best to react to one of their live performances. Reacting to the 43 min single-song concept album would be a momentous feat, but the ~14min live versions have Ian Anderson's live-performance energy and make for better "songs" IMO.

[@XPLORCAMPER]

Glad you are enjoying Ian's music. He has been giving 150% in his performances since 1968. Still going at it today at 72. Jethro Tull have sold an estimated 60 million albums worldwide, with 11 Gold and 5 Platinum albums. It's amazing how many music lovers are unfamiliar with the works of these amazing artists. I myself have been a fan since the late 60's. Jethro Tull has had many different musicians among their ranks but have kept the soul of their music pretty much the same throughout the years. I am enjoying your reactions to his music. Stay safe!

Love this shirt. The lead singer Ian Anderson is playing the flute. And still does.
