I remember back in 1970, the headmaster of my school (a Catholic priest) was very aware of social issues and used the lyrics from Aqualung to deliver a sermon about inequality.

I've always heard of Jethro Tull but never listened to them, just a band that I knew was great through word of mouth. I have been a fool to have never listened to them before now. Amazing

[@crucisnh]

One of the things that made Tull special is that they didn't fit into a specific genre. They'd go through different phases throughout their career. From a bluesy phase to an English country phase to a more rock phase to a south asian/Indian phase. They even won a Grammy for best heavy metal band in a year when their album wasn't really heavy metal. They've always been very difficult to categorize.

He’s a Genius. Period. I don’t think the Rock and Roll Hall of fame deserves Ian Anderson if they’ve passed Him up all these years. Martin Barre too. God Bless Em Both. 🙏

[@snelgrave101]

Imagine him on drugs? That would have been something else

[@lauramccaul1862]

Yeh

[@aaronhurst4379]

Man I got into these guys way too bloody late, what a band. So underrated I feel, and Ian Anderson is a hell of a front man 🤘

[@ronaldtuengel8084]

Genius!!! Insane??? Thanks! The Legendary Jethro Tull! Magical Flute!

[@chrisgabris9159]

Once again a band from the late sixties, early seventies. A band that masters there instruments... I just wish Clive never left . What a master drummer!

[@Potts1966]

There's no argument that Ian Anderson is an absolute genius. Lyrically there's no one better. But Martin Barre is an awesome guitarist and Jethro Tull wouldn't have been the incredible thing it was without both of them!

I remember seeing Jethro Tull on their Broadsword Tour, which came out in 1982, so must be the same tour as this one - it was at the Edinburgh Playhouse, I was a flute player at the time, and had a book of Jethro Tull flute sheet music, after the gig I got Ian Anderson to sign my book :)

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

The beginning, when the crowd roared like that, pure magic. A genuine reaction. That was no low frequency wave making your hairs stand up like a film trailer at the movie theater. The ability to set something like that off, a charge like that. Beautiful.

[@philmorello7131]

Yes. I replay to that to hear the crowd. Unbelievable. What a fucking rush.

[@philmorello7131]

Unbelievable. You described it perfectly. I love that. Pure reaction.

[@equaliser2265]

Just a master musician, no other words can be used to describe this man and his group.

Ian picked up the flute after the band was formed because, as he put it, he didn't want to become "just another 3rd rate guitar player.

[@mdf3962]

@@Alan-fv8ie Yes, I was surprised to hear that. just thought I'd make a funny comment.

[@jackprice1803]

I just saw Jethro Tull on Tuesday at the Apollo in Manchester. 50th anniversary. There’s a number of 22 year olds that appreciate this and I’m one of them. Ian Anderson is a musical genius. Fact. Says a lot when my old man manages to see them 64 times in 65 years 😂

[@douglasfreckman8190]

Just left The Rose at the Heights.Jethro Tull fuckin rocked it.Great show,even after 50 years!!!

Jack Price I’m 21 and last year I saw jethro tulls thick as a brick tour in CT and it was epic and I would definitely see them again

[@AnnaLVajda]

I knew a 21 year old fan of his used to play the violin on one leg looking all crazy.

[@jeffreywalton5208]

Front “row” at the Marquis Club in London 1968. Ian was already mounting the mic stand and doing that endless jig. Beyond outstanding! Apparently it was not until some years later he had his1st formal flute lesson-from his 9 year old daughter

[@nathan8855]

Saw them when I was 16. One of Martin Barre’s last shows.

Yes sir ... after all these years im still a tull fan ... people see this old man in his dually with windows down and 4000 watts of Tull kicking ass. If its too loud your too old!! I sure loved his concerts. Wish he'd come back to the states one last time before i meet my maker.... so crippled up nowadays , don't even know if i could go.
