Jethro Tull: Beethoven's Ninth (07/31/1976)

[@jimobrien4421]

Best live performing band of all time. I am probated to see TULL in the late 70’ including NYC MSG. Attended over 70 live TULL concerts over 40 year period. Thank you for sharing such wonderful videos. TULL was one of greatest group of artists ever to perform on the stage. ❤

[@helterskelter1178]

John Evan was the unsung hero of Tull. Glascock was a brilliant fk'n bass player, seriously one of the best.

[@andytschoepe1510]

Evans was great. He had a range - from subtlety to complexity - which he achieved very easily live, w/out show-boating. My dad saw both TAAB & APP tours and told me Evans executed everything w/ ease and precision...a very natural keyboardist. He was entertaining and quite animated on stage, waving his arms about, sliding around on his bench, mimicking Ian, leering, laughing, hopping up and down. Takes one hell of a musician to do all he did. Love Palmer, but the addition in live shows was not necessary.

[@oskarileikos]

@@andytschoepe1510 I think Evans and Palmer made a great keyboardist duo. Listen to Songs From The Wood from the Madison Square Garden Live album, the extended intro bit is fantastic and the two really make it. They were kind if like Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood in The Rolling Stones: weaving their playing together seamlessly.

[@mikerucker5167]

The band was just incredible at this stage. Nobody could touch them. AND mostly nice comments out here and it's always great to be a part of the gracious Tull community. RIP John.

[@cygnus53]

RIP John Glascock. You were a true bass master. We miss you.

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

He was Great !!! Awful shit luck to have a bad Heart !

[@dmoura54]

I agree that John Glascock was a great bass player. Totally underrated. In my opinion in top 5 best bass players. Even when he was in band Carmen.

[@Frank-st6gd]

Tull best Rock band of all times. I saw it live in Pittsburgh. Awesome show.

[@SlouchingBadger]

Ahh, Mr Evans. Mad as a hatter. Love watching Tull's live performances.

[@richardgagnon9635]

Agreed, John Glascock was one of the Best Bass Guitarists and probably the Most Underrated Ones in Music History. Rest In Peace John Glascock. You definitely deserve an Honorable mention in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

[@chellebadita]

Agreed, but he was a Londoner, right?

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

Crazy John Evan, always that wry smile !! : D

[@patearly9492]

Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful gift from Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not big enough for them. God bless everyone from Patrick

[@silentrabbit247]

Saw them live a couple of times, great live band. The keyboard player would have made a perfect Dr Who !

[@davidryan7386]

Whoa! Verily

[@BrunoMigliari]

Glascock was indeed a bass master. The best bassist Tull ever had.

[@jmartra]

Yes, John Was One Of The Best Bass Players That Ever Lived!...No One Could Ever Argue With That!!!

[@tose917]

The Late Great John Glascock. RIP

[@TomTom-sm2xl]

Tarkus128 Manticore 70s version of Slash, judging by the lifestyle. (Also likened to the guy who played Sayid Jarrah). Drink, drugs, high living and lots of women. Finished the guy off...

[@chellebadita]

Died so young. So good looking,great vocalist too, though the table cloth he's wearing here does no justice.

[@bonbon2355]

@@TomTom-sm2xl Get your facts straight. John was an amazing man who was very special to me. He died from a heart condition complicated by an abscess tooth. Don’t judge him. He was an amazing man and if you didn’t know him, than you shouldn’t speak poorly of him. He was a kind and generous man.

[@progx8679]

Classical and Prog, always blend well !!! : )

[@1111tull]

They both were great. I love all Tull keyboard players-past and present.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Love this ... way back when I had a bootlegged vinyl record that had this on it. I really treasured it. Also, the Back Fugue as well. Love it when Tull used to do stuff like this out of the blue.

[@gazojka]

Whatched the whole concert on youtube, true masterpiece... Thank you for the upload :)

[@gregthornton4209]

so much talent in 1 place...

[@solarconcert]

John E... Lives! He (you) made me want to learn keyboards... JE the soul of tull

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

I Love him in Tull, but not Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks or Keith Emerson ! ?

[@rockable55]

masterpiece played by the masters

[@PLANx]

Thank you Beethoven-- thank you Jethro Tull

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

Beautiful

[@jpcoyotte]

What a level! What mastery!

[@rhythmstyx1945]

My favorite piece by Beethoven

[@voxpox1850]

John Evans looks so much like Tom "Doctor Who" Baker it's scary.

[@5619clarke111]

Thanks I remember seeing it live thank you for the blast from the past. GOOD WORK!

[@poolbear2160]

Lovely, lovely Ludwig van......

[@divinetime6115]

Magnificent

[@maryellenlouvelle4475]

Genius ❤

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Love this very much.! Ian Anderson style all the way!🥰

[@tomcollins9470]

I think they are amazing

[@TrevRockOne]

@davehshs And how you could call the Scherzo from Beethoven's 9th "obscure" is beyond me -- just because it's not the famous "ode to joy" segment from the finale doesn't mean it's not another section from this monumental work that you are clearly not familiar with yet still feel compelled to discuss as if you know something.

[@carlguenzel1447]

I want to see more

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

The greatest Tull's lineup????

[@MrSnappy67]

May be. I love the Benefit quintet equally. But these guys...off the hook, and so joyful. They really had achieved the ideal chemistry while it lasted.

[@gonzalocampos5537]

La alineación mas grande del Jethro Tull eran un verdadero conjunto de virtuosismo,muchos recuerdos con este grupazo.Saludos a todos los seguidores del Jethro. 👞 👞 🎩 🎩 😯

[@jimmeek6578]

Never heard them play this sounds real nice

[@single55]

Glasscock, Barlow, Evans, Barre, Anderson, and my bad, don't know the name of the other keyboard player. Best Jethro Tull ever.

[@TheEvilChipmunk]

Dee Palmer.

[@AK99581]

It's the keyboardist formerly known as David Palmer. He was an orchestral director of some sort who was collaborating with Tull for many years, but then was eventually admitted into the band as a second keyboardist...not sure why because Ian barely made use of the keyboardist he already had (John Evan).

[@Ichnusia]

Old Brittledick! ❤️

[@Gk2003m]

And then the dwarves emerged from stage right, and trod upon Stonehenge….

[@bwalters1]

abridged 2nd movement (yes, Beethoven's 9th). outrageous :)

[@clairebarwick2869]

Real Musicians.

[@geoffreydowen5793]

" The tull line up" RIP JG

[@unknownkingdom]

It's true that it doesn't adhere strictly to the original version. I really like it though for some reason!

[@Mr01081960]

Awesome John Glascock 😘

[@AaronCCR]

AMAZING

[@beekay5914]

David Palmer, the keyboardist with the shades, became a woman named Dee.

[@johnbyrne2756]

Yes and I'm proud to say he was our music teacher at a Surrey Secondary Modern school in the mid-late 60's

[@AzErradi]

two words : John Evans

[@TrevRockOne]

@davehshs Uh, no, they do a pretty faithful rendition of the scherzo, not "variations" of their own invention. They play the exposition of scherzo section note for note, and then jump ahead to the trio.

[@makelikeatree1696]

Prog - when rock and roll went to college. Tull was for the history majors

[@davidmorris3496]

i want to hear the rest of it.

[@richardhenk2118]

Is there anything they can play simply the best eclectic band

[@richrol58]

Thanks genius

[@Gyurci77]

Hetfield likes Tull as far as I know.

[@chellebadita]

So does Ulrich.

[@Zzsmuf]

Outta sight

[@MarcosDoval-t2i]

The GRAN JOHN HAMMON HAMMON ¡!

[@mrk6599]

niiiice

[@Gregorypeckory]

I'll have to listen to Beethoven's 9th again; maybe I forgot part of it. This doesn't sound like it to me; good but I don't think it's Beethoven's 9th symphony.

[@oskarileikos]

I can't recognise the beginning part (from 0:00 to 0:45) from the original Beethoven's 9th Scherzo, can somebody tell me which part of the original is it?

[@BrenneMeirowitz]

It's almost as if Bach were electrified and playing Beethoven!

[@Gyurci77]

I know, I know :)

[@charlyzappa3210]

Is Good I like it Some Friends tell me Charly Zappa Becouse I Like and I have 21 C. D. of Frank Zappa and Like Miusic Like Jethro Tull too ...I have More ...

[@00bikeboy]

Wonder if Ludwig Van would appreciated this...

[@tikioz]

It's a 10

[@davehshs651]

I love Tull, but gotta say this is NOT Beethoven's Ninth -- maybe just some really wild, mostly unrecognizable variations on an obscure theme of that great symphony.

[@Blackouti386]

01:13 Gingers looked a lot scarier in the past.

[@arkanoiddude]

He's not a ginger, just the light making him look like it

[@mojotampa]

Tampa Stadium was used by the Bucs for Football and for Rowdies soccer games

[@ramonieheine5094]

Their costumes are so silly. John Glascock could have at least taken his off!!!!

[@chellebadita]

Now that would definitely be worth seeing😝😝

[@zalakke]

The point was that they can't;D

[@Dirkchucklebutty]

I'd like to see Metallica play this ;)

[@wilcolennon6967]

Dirk Chucklebutty they would dir

[@leone.6190]

🙄 It's not about ability. It was allways about the Genre difference.

[@meyou-dv8ns]

What movement. is this song? Beethovens song is like 30 minutes long. lol, anyway when you listen to this you can hear where they got ideas. for. parts of their songs like. "Hunting Girl". and so on. Jethro Tull. from War Child on. stole. or "Borrowed". many riffs from. Mozart. and of them big boy Wongs and put the on their songs. just listen to the song. Heavy Horses, oh my god. they stole. I mean borrowed. the whole solo from that Italian Classical guitar player from the 1600's

uh, koji doobar spot.

[@stephenhall11]

Beethoven still sounds good even when Till murders it. I guess they were pretty stoned.

[@capitancriterio]

[@montythepython7614]

Your not fooling anyone..not that it is your focus...the British deplore baseball as a rip off of cricket..great music..thanks for the post

[@dalecooles]

I prefer Glenn Cornick on bass.

[@DarKodama]

Do you really think either this is too complex to play or Metallica are bad musicians? . I can play this, and my little 10-years-old cousin can too. I don´t see why Hetfield, Trujillo or fucking HAMMET wouldn´t be able to. You people always think great themes composed by genius musicians are difficult to play and most of them (specially in Classical-Romantic period) are not at all. Just some days of rehearsal and done.
