Jethro Tull - Living In The Past (Supersonic, 27.03.1976)

[@miyubail]

I'm also a 68 year old person. Jethro Tull was a super band and I love Ian.

[@mindlessdroid3630]

People say Jethro Tull are worthy of being in the Rock n Roll hall of fame the real question is is the Rock n Roll hall of fame worthy of having Jethro Tull in it.

[@christopherarnett2851]

The Hall of Fame is pathetic and useless.

[@javierllerena5756]

Jethro Tull is at the top of progressive rock bands , the RRHF is below any level of good music , is pure fake and garbage . The fact to have inducted artists as Madona which is not rock music demonstrates that RRHF is an organization for commercial artists not for progressive rock bands .

[@XanAxDdu]

you american people are too much proud of your association. maybe because your kind of capitalism is afraid and missing real social istances. and also your lifestyle. have your good guns bravi !!!!!

[@4570duplex]

Hmm... I'm an American. I grew up with Jethro Tull - my very first concert ever was when they were is Seattle touring Aqualung. I was twelve years old, my buddy told his mom he was going to my house and I told mine I was going to his before we snuck downtown on the bus. I have not missed a Seattle show since. I own everything they have ever recorded. And by God, if they ever lower themselves to allowing the RRHF to include them, it will be a sad day indeed. RRHF may well one day wake up and realize they need Tull if they ever hope to attain to legitimacy. Tull already realize they don't need the RRHF... if that day ever comes, I hope they do the right thing and politely refuse.

[@tinokuranicholas6735]

It was a very long while before any of how music was accessed in NŹ. The '60's had only the ' vinyl ' and the ' wireless ' radio broadcasts. I heard Jethro Tull for the first time with a song off their first album ( cover of a caricature of Ian Anderson) around '68-'69. And the Group then released Benefit in 1970 and after Aqualung was released I could not sustain buying albums . The album record releases were too many to keep up. Thick as a Brick didn't do anything for me at all . Jethro Tull had come to play. It was a 1971 concert at The Auckland City Town Hall and my interest was rekindled. Two items that were memorable and the ' showbiz ' thrill was the Pianist. I'm vague with the chaps name ( Evans? ) and He was loose. He would walk to and fro, after which many times, He then climbs onto the upper top of the piano and sit Himself whilst He ' tap the keys with both His feet. The piano man was having a party and He wanted everyone to join the merriment. No need of jestering as from when the piano man started, the show went into overdrive when the stage platform was bathed in a " strobe " Northern lights concert extravaganza. Suffice.

[@martincox7354]

I agree with Devon’s sentiments. Although I wonder if some many of us were just naive in a way that I haven’t seen in the following generations. They have been so much more cynical at the outset; thinking that nothing can change. For us, a better world seemed possible but we were betrayed and betrayed ourselves. How many of us allowed ourselves to be sucked into the establishment in all its forms? We all decided that we needed our own houses; we needed white goods and we needed nice cars. None of those are wrong but what we had to do in order to get those material goods was to leave our conscience behind. Those few who didn’t have my admiration. I now accept that the world is led by dictators such as Putin, multi nationals and financiers. Politicians are the puppets of some or all of those. Regardless of affiliation, I would suggest that there are only two types of politicians. One is the type using politics to build their own empire or fortune; the other is deeply unintelligent.

[@martincox7354]

@William HELLHASEYIS for sure, you are entitled to your opinion. I’d like to think that I could be defined as mid-life. If that’s the case, I am going to live until I’m over 130. I could ask you to explain how you define mid life crisis and it’s relevance to my comment; but, truthfully, Your reply has shown me that I would not be interested in your reply. But, maybe for others, my reply was my experience of what Devon alluded to (the halcyon days of an unlimited future) and how I believe it was never going to happen. I have become cynical about leadership and change but that cynicism is only borne out of my life experience which includes being MD of a business employing some 3,500 people. So, I am not an idealist or someone who hasn’t betrayed themselves with power. If you just want to enjoy the music, then great and don’t read the comments. If you think that listening to the music is the only thing that matters and that nobody, including musicians, should have strong social views and espouse them, then I’m sorry for you. I said nothing personally derogatory about any individual and, unlike you, alluded nothing derogatory to any individual. I described my views in a non-political party way. I encourage peace, love and tolerance. You should try it. Go and be happy. I am

My ex and I saw Jethro Tull at Rosemont outside Chicago. Now that he’s finally figured out the correct fingerings, Ian Anderson is one of the best flautists in the music business! That said, that man is CRAZY 😜 🤪 😝!!! (My ex likes him, however!)

[@denisrichardson3260]

Very intelligent

[@NoemiLena]

Sensational. So much creativity in instruments and melodies is rare in newer music.

[@LC3123]

2024. Bring back real musicians and singers with talent who aren't controlled.

[@paullacey3946]

My generations' music. Never bettered.

[@denisearment3282]

I still live in the past and now I'm remembering when I saw Jethro Tull play In Florida in 72 wow when he played the flute then threw it in the air and the second he grabbed it they jumped into another song, man they were awesome, times were awesome

[@josephhaas7636]

Wish I could have been there. Sounds like a moment in the past we all Wish more could have experienced.

[@Fredconley]

Class of 73. What a life it’s been. Sometimes you have to live in the past. Just a little

[@dragutinlusicic1257]

1975 Jethro tull were in Zagreb (Croatia), I was exactly 20 years old then. I'm 68,5 now and I still get chills when I listen to them. A fantastic band, music, costumes and that one British melody from the era of King Arthur is intertwined in every song. Fantastically

[@robertfarnsworth3706]

Absolute quality. The guy on the maracas!!

[@deborahpinkston7278]

These dudes rock! Totally underrated! ☮️

[@andymatthews7617]

PEACE 🤘

[@MsUrbangirl]

Omg, my favorite band from the 70’s. Saw them live twice, unbelievable how amazing they were!!!

[@stephenholian2660]

Talent at its finest how did music go terribly wrong today so many fine bands have cone and gone and I fear they are gone forever

[@David-gh6vp]

They're transitioned into the Eternities. Nothing is "gone."

[@ericsigelmann562]

I love this song and this group, they're amazing

[@ericthorfinnson2074]

Ian is the MASTER of the flute. Always INSPIRATIONAL

[@shedboy18]

One of my all time favourite songs. Long live Ian and Tull.

[@elforeigner3260]

I just love this song! I was just a kid when it was released Lost slot of friends and family good to live in the past , also love the guy with the wood blocks and shakers hillirios!

[@3dprinterjam263]

This was not only a mega-talented band with a mega-mega talented leader, it was an incredible time to be a fan and see these bands live. I saw Tull live during their Passion Play tour: they played FOUR FRIGGIN HOURS. All of Aqualung, LITP, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, they played forever. Yes played for way over three hours when I saw them during this same time. Now a band makes you feel like you should include them in your will if they play longer than an hour. Please.

[@scottallan1595]

Couldn't agree more. I was blessed enough to see YES 23-times and Tull 16-times. 🙏

[@3dprinterjam263]

@@scottallan1595 23!! 16! Wow. That's amazing. When I saw Yes it was during the Tales from Topographic Oceans tour, and in addition to all the wonderful past stuff they played, they played the fourth side of the aforementioned album, which was my favorite, with that mind-blowing Alan White drum solo part. One of my 2 or 3 most watched films of all times was the original George Pal "War of the Worlds" movie, and they had mounted over his drums three huge replicas of the Martian machines that shot lasers out into the audience. WOAH!!! Yeah, those were the days. No more. Kansas Song for America tour was another incredible concert. Floyd Wall tour too. Great times. Those times were great, but I can't say there weren't great acts later. As much as I enjoyed all of that, seeing the Butthole Surfers live a few times in their early years dang near ruined my ability to take in "good" live performances. They truly BLEW my mind to smithereens. Naked dancers covered in day-glo red and green paint, with Jacques Cousteau videos behind them. In a way, Gibby Haynes was the next Gen's Ian Anderson.

[@stuarthecht8196]

I grew up on Tull in the 70's, and this has always been one of my favorite of their songs. John Evan steals the show!

[@SamLopezI]

Sept. 1st, 2024, first time i've seen Jethro Tull live!! I've enjoyed his music since 70-71.

Still rocking 2024

I'm 98 years old and I've been listening to Jethro Tull since my grandson got into them as a teen in the 70s. Can't wait to die, totally sick of them.

Oh sure, we really believe that. Uhh huh…

This man is truly a genius the words the music the showmanship one of the greatest bands ever and the music and he surrounded himself with awesome musicians

[@1toshi32]

I was introduced to Jethro Tull in my late teens. Such a unique style. Like no one else. Ian Anderson's voice and flute playing is so different. I can't think of anyone that has this kind of sound. Really love them.

[@scottaussem1771]

Im64 i saw them tour aqualung thick as a brick and passion play

[@scottaussem1771]

What reason could the hall of fame have for not inducting them

[@1toshi32]

@@scottaussem1771 I think you replied to the wrong person when you asked about what reason the hall of fame wouldn't induct them. You needed to reply to Mindless Droid. Must have been amazing to see them live on stage. Seeing them in person is so much better than seeing them on TV or listening to their music from a CD

[@scottaussem1771]

[@mikehubbard5493]

I've gone to 4 Tull concerts. Always an incredible show. I love his Christmas album, and have grown a new love for this genius work of Ian Anderson.

[@davidmcque627]

Yeah, love the Christmas album. That goes on the second week of November right through till new year.

[@gurutejs.khalsa3915]

Nothing like that music and the power it had happened before or since. Sadly, that spirit seems to have been lost. I am deeply grateful that I lived during that time and this music was my mission statement.

[@baynesstreetblues]

Masterly showmanship. Suburb guitar solo. Exceptional drumming. I am so glad that I grew up in the 70s listening and seeing truly classic rock live like this clip.

[@waynemorellato1158]

I have forgotten just how good Jethro Tull was live. Glad I was led here tonight. Reliving just a little of my past.

"THE FLUTE CANT BE FOR ROCK AND ROLL . " IAN:" HOLD ME BEER."

THAT "GIZMO" KEY ON THE FLUTE WAS INVENTED BY MR. GIZMO SO THE FLUTE COULD COULD HIT HIGH NOTES AND STILL BE HEARD IN A CONCERT/ORCHESTRA SETTING.

Wonderful old memories Perfect sound of the 60s.. Brilliant Had it on ep Bring back those days. Carefree love & Peace

[@josephdolinsky8668]

Been a fan of Ian and Jethro Tull since the release of their LP “Stand Up” (back around 1970) - which is still one of my favorites. Phenomenal band!

[@rupertbobrowicz963]

Stand Up number 1 hit in the UK Summer 1969! The start of real Tull after the bluesy This Was in 1968. 😎💙🇬🇧🌎👍

These guys are great, been listening to them for decades.

Grannie, 73, loving this song more than ever and sharing to my friends as its perfect for a summers day.

[@johnshields6852]

I was 15 when this song popped on the radio, underrated song, one of their best. 1975 was a good year for rock music.

[@andymatthews7617]

WE HAD THE BEST MUSICAL DAYS EVER.

[@Jimmyback1000]

They’re a brilliant band and should be in the Hall of Fame. I’ve seen Jethro Tull probably about 13 times, from early on right through to the late stuff and they’re still going strong, brand new album coming out soon The Zealot Gene. Each time I see them live, it’s always been a great experience, fantastic sound, loud and soothing…🙂

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a song called 'Where I come from' By Robert Nix

[@julialane6645]

Thanks, I was not aware of a new Album.

[@kevinrombouts3027]

First Jethro Tull song I ever heard and its still just great. Love it.

[@russrussel3947]

Is there anywhere else to live but in the past?😭

[@deans178]

Witnessed Ian play live somwhere around 15-20 years ago. The man is incredibly tallented well beyond just his flute playing. He is a musical Genious.

[@williamjackson1819]

I remember as a sixteen yr. old being round at a friend's house when he put 'Benefit' on his stereogramme (as we used to call them). I'd never heard their music before and I was just mesmerised and couldn't get enough of listening to ' To cry you a song'; ' Inside'; ' For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and me', and the rest. (That flute motif on Inside just seemed to resonate with the way I felt.) Played the album over and over, head between the speakers. What an introduction to Jethro Tull.
