A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ KZbin. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of KZbin I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on KZbin won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This KZbin channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

The only thing better than listening to Tull is watching them perform. A musical genius...

[@laminator72]

Saw them doing the Aqualung album in Pittsburgh in October 1972. They were great! One of the few groups I've seen who asked for requests. The intro group was 'Spirit'.

[@HemlockRidge]

@@laminator72 At the Civic Arena? The intro group was Leslie West and Mountain. WAIT! That was October 1971.

[@shelleysparks210]

I got to see them in concert in 1972 in Houston & 1973 in Munich. Ian Anderson is the flute player & he is a GOAT.

[@bloodybillanderson9294]

I saw them mid 70s in denver Colorado mcnichols sports arena i think ... the 70s were a bit fuzzy for me😉 but i remember the flute solos and the theatrics of ian anderson totally blew my mind 🤯

[@fizgig2016]

Only managed to see them once - Stormwatch tour - and UK opened for them! First time I saw Terry Bozzio and that nearly made me lose it right there.

[@kberlyc32]

Yes! OMG what an amazing amazz'sing concert! I think they where the best concert ever to watch!

[@brotherjim4875]

Sir; there is only one Ian Anderson. There was only one Jethro Tull. Its like listening to an electric Bard. His shows were art. flaming hair, crazy look in his eyes, and standing on one foot while he played his flute, telling us tales. All the while dressed in some sort of Dickensian garb. Authentic and original. Great reaction!

[@TheCornishCockney]

Fortunate beyond belief we saw all these legends live at their peak. Tull were yet another British band who also brought it live. Great great days.

[@mikennem9077]

One of the only singers ever to sound just as good live as in studio!

[@cliffhodge6167]

The whole Tull sound is built around Ian Anderson’s flute skills and unique voice.

[@trismaccarran9950]

His voice & the flute complemented one another and brought flute to Rock; Jon Lord didn't sing, but he did bring Organ to the Rock masses via Deep Purple

[@greghortonsr.5428]

and he only had the flute for 2 weeks before he started using it on their songs !

[@mvellis3863]

AND MARTIN BARRE's GUITAR!!!

[@cliffhodge6167]

I knew this song would blow him away. Love the guitar work on aqualung too. Seen people try to play it and some are okay but the original was an instant classic.

[@leisastalnaker3790]

Ian Anderson, lead singer and Flautist. You have to see him live. He brings it.

[@fibrown444]

His son in law is Andrew Lincoln, who some may know from 'The Walking Dead'. Check out Ian's duet with Kacy Anderson the astronaut James.

[@sopwithpuppy]

Ian Anderson is amongst the best Frontmen that ever lived. His stage presence and charisma can only be compared to the likes of Michael Jackson, or Elvis...or the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) Freddie Mercury. Seeing Jethro Tull live was the greatest live performance of any kind (theater, cabaret, opera etc) that I have ever witnessed.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

Absolutely 💯 Exactly what I was thinking.

[@TheLastGarou]

'Thick as a Brick' Live from Madison Square Garden. 🤯🤯🤯

[@shelleysparks210]

I’ve taken 2 different flautists to separate JT concerts (& that had never heard of Ian Anderson before) & they were blown away. I love them as much now as in 1971. Ian Anderson is the GOAT. 🐐

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

The album this song comes from 'Aqualung' is a classic and EVERY SINGLE SONG... should get your immediate attention.. From the title song to Cross Eyed Mary to Locomotive Breath to My God to the last song.. its an incredible album that I used to wake up to every Sunday morning, while reading the paper and drinking coffee..... and getting loaded... You have a great day. Everyone IS important and EVERYONE should find a passion and work for it every day,. It makes a life so enjoyable and fulfilling.

[@musicairplanes4884]

Was lucky enough to see them perform this live at the Forum in Inglewood. This was the first concert that I went to were the characters in the songs actually came alive on stage. Everyone was blown away.

[@fordp69]

...and there are more than 20 other albums too, several are even better than Aqualung. In the late 60's Ian Anderson realized he would never play guitar like Eric Clapton, he wanted another instrument that could play up front and stand out, so he traded a guitar for his first flute and learned to play it by himself.

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

@@musicairplanes4884 I saw them live in the mid 90's in Seattle... and then saw Martin Barre with his band in 2019 in Everett at the historic Everett Theater... I have most of that show on my page/channel.

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

Top 5 album all time for me

[@johndavis9196]

Ian Andersen didn’t just make playing flute “Cool”. He was a straight up Bad Ass. He was originally self taught and innovated many techniques that are now studied by music scholars. One of the all time great frontmen and a legendary performer.

[@brianrothsteinsartvideos3041]

Don't forget Ian was inspired by the playing of jazz master Rahsam Roland Kirk originally with his melding of breathy vocalizations with the playing of the flute simultaneously. That's where Ian got "Serenade for a Cuckoo", his first foray into flute performance. Kirk first wrote and recorded that song.

[@billbeliakoff5589]

From what I've heard he didn't take any lessons until his daughter took them and he was inspired by some of the techniques saw.

[@michaeldecker3480]

You need to see this in a live version

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Definitely. Ian Anderson is a shaman hypnotizing the people and his flute is his magic wand.

[@timbillings6884]

Yes that's what I was going to say!!! All of them!!! Locomotive breath!!!!!! Aqua man!!! Etc. 🥳😂✌️

[@davidcohen821]

There is a reason why this is usually one of the final songs in his concerts.

[@scottdiehl6087]

I'm always a huge fan of just straight up Studio audio versions but the Locomotive Breath live is even better.

[@shannonroche1182]

Yea his flute is mind blowing. Total master of it . Good to see you appreciate his talent. Rock flute ain't easy lol

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

Ian's flute style is totally self-taught and like no one else, with his breathy vocalizations. At this point in his career he hadn't even mastered the instrument yet. He got much better at it through the years. He had vocal issues in his later years, but never lost his talent on the flute.

[@clare1061]

I love the look on your face when the flute solo came on, Ian Anderson is as good on that flute as he is on vocals. He’s a pure genius.

[@tragicdeyz2641]

Tull is next level. "Next Level" in the kind of way Steely Dan, Pink Floyd are. You need to see them live.

[@CG-vn8iy]

Odd observation that all the "next level" groups are someone's name. And I agree with you.

[@williamtauriello1581]

I had the pleasure is seeing Jethro Tull play this live. It was my 2nd live concert and I was only 14. I’m 65 now. Jethro Tull live is English theatre with amplifiers. Ian Anderson, the lead singer and self-taught flute player, puts on a performance like no one else! I highly recommend you react to the live version of this song, or the title track Aqualung, or Cross-Eyed Mary. You will see a rock show like you’ve never seen before. It’s worth it!

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

That face when Ian's flute kicks in...Priceless...Thanks, my favorite song of theirs...but this should have been experienced live.

[@mrsouthjersey4956]

I've been lucky and blessed to have seen many of the best "frontmen" in concert history. Some of the greatest in every musical genre. Freddy Mercury, Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, Ann Wilson, Roger Daltrey, Johnny Cash, Peter Wolf, Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant, Willie Nelson, David Lee Roth, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Garcia, and many many others. It is very hard to take your eyes off of Ian Anderson when he always holds the crowd in the palm of his hand. His over the top moves, his musical and singing talents and ability and his overall stage presence place him #2 or #3 of the best I have ever witnessed. Highly underrated artist and band in my opinion.

🎼☯️ This group, Jethro Tull, is totally phenomenal live! Ian Anderson is the frontman in what I want to call a group of reincarnated traveling medieval bards! Anderson brought the flute to life in an extraordinary way. As he played, he literally spoke, sang, and hummed the notes into the mouthpiece of his flute. I’ve been a huge Jethro Tull fan since the Stand Up and the Benefit albums. When you see Anderson in a live performance, I guarantee you will never forget it! 🎼☯️

Jethro Tull has been one of my favorite rock bands since I first heard them in in the early 70’s. Hearing them on a vinyl record/8Track/cassette/cd/etc. is great. But the real joy comes from seeing them live. Ian Anderson, the mad pied piper, is incredible. So sad that he now has an incurable lung condition which compromises his ability to sing (more so than play the flute) but it still brings joy to the soul to watch him in recent years. Masterful!!!
