Jethro Tull Bouree live

[@WytZox1]

Ian Anderson is indeed a musical genius who could sell the classical sound of Bach to the Rock n Roll crowd. Incredible to say the least.

[@HarryCollins99]

An incredible performance, made more so by the fact that Ian was still really learning the flute. He might only have been playing a year or two at this point. Incredible!

[@MaximusWolfe]

I have no idea what makes a flute player better or worse, I only know that his playing was sublime to my ear and that Roland Kirk was the best jazz flutist I’ve e er heard.

[@markriobr]

He recorded this music around two years after touching a flute for the first time in life . Magic

[@NoRancho-pj2mw]

@@MaximusWolfe There are more technically proficient flutists in the world, but no one has ever promoted the flute or made it as famous as Ian.

[@MaximusWolfe]

@@NoRancho-pj2mw Technical prowess is not a bad thing but some of the most technically gifted musicians failed to produce or record any memorable or moving compositions. His soloing is indelible, beautiful and iconic which is always better than mere capability. Perhaps this will illustrate my point better: Buddy Rich is widely considered the most gifted drummer of all time yet his solo albums are remarkably forgettable. By contrast, Ringo Starr is not considered to be an especially gifted drummer, but some of his brilliant fills and other drum parts are key elements in some of the most iconic rock songs ever recorded. Who’s the more accomplished percussionist? I vote Ringo.

[@javiercarvajalbarriga6019]

Ian’s flute performance is so amazing and his flamingo pose is fantastic!

[@MsSmitty9]

People don’t realize that His flute playing is self taught. There’s videos out there of concert flutist’s watching Him play who are just amazed at the way He goes about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXy2o6SVps91lbs&feature=share This is funny

Ian has always brought it on. Awesome talent.

[@MsSmitty9]

I saw Jethro Tull in the Old Boston Gahden plenty of times in the 70s and 80s doing Mescaline all the way. It was the only way to Go see them at the time. Just watching Ian Anderson go nuts during Bouree was worth the Price of admission at the time. I believe it was like $10 at the time.I remember the joke was , back in the day , if you got pulled over for drunk driving and the Cop handed you a Flute and said , if You can play Bouree like Ian Anderson does on One Leg for one minute without falling , You can go home. Good Luck. 😂😂

[@bhug91]

Man this is an awesome song. First time I heard Bouree was on their 2003 Christmas Album cd. I never knew until this hour, that he has done this song for more than forty years. Amazing then and amazing now!

[@GTX1123]

What is truly AMAZING is that he had only been playing the flute for about 3 years when this was filmed. To play at that level with only 3 years of experience is ASTOUNDING.

[@biserkasertic1208]

Less than 3 years .He started few months before the band got name Jethro Tull in the begining of 68. This gig is from 69.

[@carlodave9]

Wasn't a Tull fan. Long B4 my time. Only knew a few "hits." Then recently bought STAND UP on a whim (cute cover). Definitely one of the best albums I've ever heard. Shocking! --especially for early 1969. Every song an individual--perfectly crafted, perfectly produced. Nice to see where Sabbath, Zep (of II, III & IV) drew some of their epic ju-ju.

[@dunscotus01]

Why so shocked? This is from a time when musicians had to pull off LIVE performances and actually knew music and their instruments. No drum machine, no patching in the studio. The real thing.

[@MrRamblinrose]

have you ever noticed,,, the various gasp for breaths in all of Ian Andersons solos serve as bass notes?

[@MLewisDesign]

Genius!

[@PandaplusMochi]

I saw him with friends in MN early 90's. It was a small theater. After the show I was so astonished by him, the flute solo's alone were breathtaking. I walked near to him and stared at him in amazement. He stared at me and then his flute as if to give it to me. I could not take the pipers pipe.A friend of another kept saying it was time to go.I turned to go. I'll never forget the piper and his magic flute. Catherine Herrmann

[@N0rmad]

The audience had no idea there was a bass solo happening. You can see Ian Anderson telling them to look at the bassist but they just keep applauding. Sounds like the bassist said screw it and ended the bass solo early since no one was listening.

[@bonzo713]

@leahcim38 metallica live "day on the green" Cliff Burton( For Whom The Bell Tolls) This is not really a solo,more of an intro.

[@polara01]

If it was John Densmore's novel I would read it!

[@420GratefulHippie]

You can tell that the audience applause was mixed in post by either the documentary makers or the original source editors for this performance. How can you tell? Listen to the applause fade out as Ian begins to play again. The applause does not actually die down or calm down naturally. It fades out. As an editor I know. That was an audio dissolve. And another clue is that this was a single camera shoot. The only cuts to the camera is the cut to the audience applauding and then the cut back to Ian waving at the band. Definitely an editing hack job there. Also listen to the applause at the end of the song. It's not as loud or distinct as the one after Ian's solo.

[@N0rmad]

@@420GratefulHippie Thanks for the editor's insight haha. Half a decade later now I'm re-watching this and I realize that you're right this whole performance has been heavily edited.

Agree with the bass solo thing. I'm a flute player and a guitar player myself, but I teach myself guitar riffs I love, including bass riffs, and the whole bass line for this song is gorgeous. I adore playing the bass solo, especially when I can use someone else's bass for it. XD

[@gege9775]

C'était justement cette version (ou une encore antérieure) qui m'avait convaincu de faire un choc à la fête de fin d'année de mon école. Salle d'environ quatre cents personnes, peut-être six cents, e n'ai pas compté. Surrttout des parents. Genre petits doigts en l'air. Salle noire, rideau de scène fermé. Je m'emmène par devant, ave ma guitare concert, spot sur moi, je commence cette bourrée de JSB totalement à la classique. Quoi de neuf ? Juste que c'est un peu casse-doigts sur la guitare. Puis le rideau de scène s'ouvre un peu, un autre spot sur un bassiste, bahdadibahdadahbabadoubabadah. Cool, quoi. Quelques mesures. Puis le rideau s'ouvre plus large, batterie discrète. Chouette ! Puis le rideau s'ouvre encore plus. Cinq guitaristes et trois percus sup y vont. Puis deux flutes et trois violons. Là, étant assis sur le bord de la scène m'énerve, en fais état, lève ma gratte, mets pied à terre et furax quitte la scène. Le rideau s'ouvre complètement, spots sur la totale, neuf guitarristes, cinq percus (de tous genres), quinze violonistes, sept flautistes (différents), deux pianos, presque quarante choristes. Tous à fond, "hurler" le bonheur de ce morceau merveilleux. Wow ! Bien sûr, à cette époque nous étions punis pour faire telle musique "de singes", absolument inacceptable. Ensuite place aux musiques de l'époque. Hm... aussi du rock'nroll, que nos parents avaient perdu de vue... Bhen oui, du vrai. Faire tourner mamy, faire du rock dessus le dos avec maman. Bien oui, le gardien municipal de la salle était dépassé. Le pauv' ne savait plus comment faire et a appelé ses supérieurs au secours. Pas de bol : M le Maire, le Landrat (Préfet), le Commandant de la Police et le Capitaine des pompiers étaient dans la salle et s'amusaient à fond. Bon, à un moment il fallait mettre fin à la chose (vers 4 ou 5 heures du matin), alors on rétrograde. On revenait à des musiques un peu plus traditionnelles, plus classiques, des blues (vous voyez un peu, je pense - du "rapproché", puis y mettre fin. Manœuvre à l'inverse : la version jazzy déjantée de la bourrée de JSB par JT à l'envers, ramener à la version classique. ralentir, le rideau de scène se referme petit à petit, un instrument s'éteint dans l'arrière-plan après l'autre, un spot après l'autre. A la fin juste moi assis sur le bord de la scène, d'abord avec la version jazzée, puis venant à la la version académique de la bourrée, puis dernier spot éteint, le temps que les gens sortent. There is no recording of that, and it's not necessary. We know what we lived and are happy of that. Mni tx to JT, they gave us force to live. Never give up. Ok ?
