Here I' am a 72-year-old man in 2023 watching a young man hearing this song for the first time, and over 50 years ago at 17 I bought Jethro Tull's album hearing this song for the first time.

[@christinecanty5409]

Awesome isn’t it? I love watching the younger crowd enjoy the music we grew up with.

[@stevenkimsey7039]

I am 59. I loved Jethro Tull from the first time I heard the music. I have bought many records, cds and DVDs

[@lepetitoiseau]

they are English !!! Ian Anderson is born in Scotland, Thank you for this reaction !!! Live they are stunning but don't overlook the album versions: Aqualung, is fantastic!

[@user-nr9gx4ml8w]

Jethro Tull are an English rock band formed in Luton, Bedfordshire, in 1967. Initially playing blues rock and jazz fusion, the band soon incorporated elements of English folk, hard rock and classical music, forging a signature progressive rock sound

[@williammackenzie6115]

British Band,Ian Anderson is a Scot.

[@zacharychapman6691]

Jethro tull are the goats. Fun fact, Eddie vedder from pearl jam stated that he listens to them before going out on a stage to preform at every show. Look it up.

[@garysexton8840]

I recommend that you listen to each studio album from the beginning (1968-the present) and you will discover a band like no other because of their music and live performances as you have seen. The wealth of the talent behind what was produced is in a class by itself. I am a Tull freak since 1971 and you might understand why. Just explore the whole catalog of their albums and after listening to the studio album then view the live performance. Nothing like Tull!

[@KawaTony1964]

Dude - Jethro Tull is a British band. One of the greats.

[@Zennofobic]

Crazy they're on tour right now, will be in Los Angeles in a month. Saw them like 10 years ago, might be time to check em out again.

[@pauldenby878]

Great reaction Rory! They are from Luton - although Ian Anderson is Scottish

[@RMForbes505]

Yes, this band was formed in London in the late 60's and they get a lot of their themes from English folk tunes. Jethro Tull was part of the 70's progressive rock movement that came out of Great Britain.

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

Most of JT came together in Blackpool where they were called the John Evan Band (the pianists name) they moved to Luton to become professional and are English. The song you recognise is Land of Hope and Glory. They originally played the Dambusters theme when IA threw the giant balloons into the crowd but changed this to Land of Hope and Glory when touring Germany !!!!

[@williammackenzie6115]

British Band Ian Anderson is Scottish.@@bishopswoodcrafts

[@RMForbes505]

In their live shows they always tended to create a medley of at least two songs for their encore. This is a medley of Locomotive Breath from their Aqualung album and Backdoor Angels from War Child. This band was a favorite of stadium concert scene in the 70's and on. You have a lot of catching up to do because of their extensive and wonderful catalog. I think they are up to their 27th studio album so far.

[@johncoulter8023]

Any commentator that would interrupt the drop on one of the most iconic rock ballads of all time to talk to his dog should have his testicles fed to his dog.

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

Rewind, replay, warm memory chip, random sample hold the one you need... In other words, he can go back. No biggie or a reason to get some undies in a wedge.

[@dunringill1747]

I just found your channel. Jethro Tull is one of rock's greatest rabbit hole dive - both live and studio. Your interest compelled me to like and subscribe. *FYI:* The members of Rush happen to be big Tull fans. Geddy Lee once stated if he could build his perfect dream band, Barriemore Barlow would be his choice for drummer / percussion (Tull's drummer from 1971 to 1980).

[@alphacrusis2632]

Jethro Tull are as English as roast beef and yorkshire pudding, in fact Jethro Tull himself was a 17th century agriculturalist from England who invented the seed press and wrote the book on horse husbandry. The Flutist and vocalist Ian Anderson is actually Scottish but formed the band in England. Since that clip (1977) the band has gone through at least 30 members however, In my humble opinion this line up was the best and this version of locomotive breath was also the best version. Locomotive Breath was their commercial success song although they were not a commercial band and although in his late 70's Ian Anderson is still going strong and still recording and touring. He stopped calling the band Jethro Tull around the early 2000's recording under his own name since his first solo album 'Into the Light' around 1990 but recently he began to record again under Jethro Tull, The Zealot Gene (2021) being the continuation of that name. I didn't see why he should have stopped calling the band Jethro Tull because the band had been going through such a lot of members ever since they began recording ('This Was' 1968).

[@paulpalmer4385]

Now you might be nearly ready for their live My God from 1970. Stupendous. Expect requests.

[@sid7088]

Best frontman ever.

[@alldayadventures5418]

"My GOD" "My GOD" "My GOD" "My GOD" "My GOD" "My GOD" "My GOD"

[@lepetitoiseau]

I would even say more: MY GOD

[@rockymountboy]

Locomotive Breath is a serious song, about the runaway overpolution and the problems is causes, metaphorically speaking, of course. They usually pump up their songs for live performances. Some are almost completely unrecognizable. Check out the studio version of "Dharma for One" from their first album This Was" and the live version found on their compilation album "Living in the Past". And, as you see here, they smash songs together and do some jammin' to create medleys. The last song is "Backdoor Angels" from the "Warchild" album. A concert isn't just them playing their songs live. The really put on a show and give you a reason to go. The big balloons come out at the end of the concert.

[@janicemacmillan2610]

Jethro Tull just put out a new album. My fave song of theirs is Living in the Past

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

I know you did a reaction to 'My God' live...😅 so DEFINITELY check out the studio version of it! It is one of my absolute favorite Tull songs, so good

[@lesliedavis2185]

An amazing track and Album, they toured nz when it came out and I was lucky enough. To see them . Studio is great but so great to see live. They hd a lot to say

[@exiledscouser99]

Ian is Scottish, the band is quintessentialy British and the West Ham bit is The Dambusters March from the movie.

[@karentargaryen7959]

I had the pleasure of seeing them live sometime in the 1980's at Ravinia (a small outdoor theater in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois USA). It was a great time!

[@BlessedRelief]

Great reaction. Thanks Rory mate. I just put live performances up so you could see Ian Anderson perform, what a fella and what a band. Seen tgem about 10 times over a lot of years and theyve never dissapointed. I think Ian was born near Edinburgh and then moved Blackpool way or something like that. Infact another great song Blackpool. I will have a look and requet a reaction. Andy 😊

[@erikahlander3489]

Baker St muse! (Most prog music of the 70s was from UK)

[@christinecanty5409]

Grew up with JT. My older brother turned me on to them. He turned me on to The Who as well. Thanks Rory. Always enjoy your reaction videos. 🙂

[@williamjones6031]

I haven't heard this in 45 years. I'm due.

[@steveparker3652]

Sounds like "We all follow the Chelsea" to me!

[@stevoplex]

Very British band. From Luten. 😊

[@betseyclark2832]

I've always loved Jethro Tull! They are going to be appearing in my area (Hampton, NH) in October. Tickets are going fast.

[@gerryrice4848]

Haven't seen this version b4

[@jermaschinot]

Live is fantastic, Studio is better in some ways. I'd go with "My God" studio version next. Then you could go crazy and skip 50 years to "Ginnungagap" from this year's allbum RokFlote, which IMHO is a stunning album

[@aronp7097]

No flute on the first two albums. Ian Anderson (singer) wanted yet another gimmick to set his band apart. His daughter was taking flute lessons at the time. So what does he do!??. He learns flute, and becomes one of the best! 😱🤯

[@jermaschinot]

"They grow their roses red and pait our skys blue, Drop one penny in every second bowl Make half the beggars lose. Think I'll sit down and invent some fool Some grand court jester and next time the die is cast he'll throw a 6 or 2"

[@stevedotwood]

English band, Ian Anderson is Scottish

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

I prefer studio versions for clarity, but as you can tell Ian loves the stage and the crowds gave it all back to him and the band. The members changed over the years. You'll sometime see a huge diagram of the history of the band. It's amazing while also being something of a work of art itself... Every cd of theirs I own (I started with albums, but all of those were destroyed by accident and dumbness on my part so I had to replace them with cds) I still enjoy. There's a lot of studio albums but also various live ones too which are fun.

[@blanewilliams5960]

I personally prefer listening to the albums. Not that they aren't good live but I can only take so much of Ian's onstage antics. Just not my thing but love the music.

[@karenmandeville7116]

Jethro Tull is an English/Scottish band.

[@karenmandeville7116]

p.s. your puppy is such a cute girl!

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

They could be from your hometown.

[@genestippell1833]

What you don't get on the album is to see him perform. Martin barre's guitar live is downright nasty. I was in hs when this came out. There were no videos or internet, all these bands had to endlessly tour to promote their albums. I lived on long island and got to see them many times in the early to mid seventies. There is no way to explain the experience of seeing a concert like Tull at Madison square garden with 20,000 people. His flute just filled the arena and barres guitar made your seat vibrate. It was a special time because the next week led zeppelin would be in town followed by the who, then yes,then genesis, then the stones, then pink floyd, then ... They all passed through each year along with all the american bands.

[@jaccilowe3842]

Land of Hope and Glory is the song. Watch Last Night at the Proms to get the full UK patriotism in all its glory. It will bring a tear to your eye!

[@riffmondo9733]

The Eddie Van Halen of flautists.

[@timsansom4110]

The West Ham song you were asking about is better known as Land of Hope and Glory. It is the 1st Pomp and Circumstance March written by Edward Elgar and is also closely associated with the last night of the Proms. You might be interested in watching the version of Thick As A Brick which I think is from the same Madison Square concert.

[@8ackbiter434]

This isn't the MSG concert. The bassist here - John Glascock - was too ill to perform that night and Dave Pegg stepped in. Glascock sadly died from heart trouble not long after. I think this is from the Capital Centre in Maryland.

[@BG-id2cv]

@@8ackbiter434 Hi. It wasn't Dave Pegg who stepped in for John Glascock for the 1978 Madison Square Garden Concert, it was a guy called Tony Williams. Pegg joined Tull in 1979, when Glascock was too sick to continue with the band.

[@paulpalmer873]

It’s a Brit band, but Ian Anderson is a Scot. Have you had the live version of My God from the early 70a? Mind blowing.

[@Zennofobic]

Ian Anderson

[@robertacolarette1594]

Rory, you should listen to the Aqualung album. Martin Barre’s guitar is phenomenal.

[@moshemosh7792]

Stend up and benefit

[@Loy72bob]

British Band…Ian is a Scotsman though!

[@Gantzz321]

just wondering for a friend.... where did all the pixels go?

[@larsbehrmann3768]

Hihi 😂, there is one other young man infected. But one thing☝️, don't hear the newest shit of of "jethro" (actually a one man Show of an old man who don't know when theres no "mojo" left), when youre not tulled enough to be lenient.

[@garysexton8840]

Sorry but you don’t get the genius of Ian Anderson- the latest two albums are a continuation of his music which is unmatched by any other artists of the present era. I’m going to see the band 10/29 and am psyched. My 40th show since 1971

[@julieheywood8832]

british through and through land of hope and glory was the tune not west ham football song.

[@jermaschinot]

23 albums?, 300 plus songs. I only dislike about 10 or 15
