Jethro Tull Songs From The Wood

[@drumdude46]

just.....wow. grew up with him on the Radio. didn't particularly buy his records, but...ending up a musician myself, and had ears on, during this phase of generational brilliance, got a healthy dose of this incredible bands offerings, for say, the last 40 years. this peice here, is nothing short of stunning. Ian is a better singer, and entertainer, than i ever gave him credit for. this is True Art and Music. no "Formats'...no "Formulas'... pure unleashed talent and shining brilliance

[@MrSliceLauncher]

Listening to "Songs from the wood" this evening, and I still loving it as much as I did when it first came out. Thank you Ian Anderson for many, many years of listening pleasure!

[@hal9000lovesdaisy]

Frankly, as I Yank, you wouldn't think me to be a big Tull fan, but from my youth, they were my favorites! From 'This Was', with the first line up of musicians, Ian had me with his mix of English history, and rock and roll eccentricity, to 'Heavy Horses' (the last LP I recall purchasing...), I've been a fan. Seen them four times in concerts over the years. The only problem is that all my recordings are in eight track format. I'm almost 54 years old, now. Thanks for posting a piece of my youth.

❗️💯💯💯💯💯❗️ One of the highlights of my H.S. days: Songs From The Wood. They make you feel much better!!

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Songs from the woods one of the best tull albums!

[@andreb670]

Top notch musicians, the lot of them.

[@sjs928]

.,..man , the musicianship is astounding. ....Ian says." OK Lads...here we go....." and one take.... AFTER that big swig o' whatever it was... HAAA..! ..amazing

[@tsarevna212]

Brilliant. This too is one of the more difficult songs on the album Seeing it live with such showmanship is a real treat. Today....what rock music????

[@AaronCCR]

My dad hates Tull, but that didn't stop me from loving one of the most talented bands in the history of music!

[@chinzebo]

The inventive and unusual (music) timing of this song is grand! Thx for posting.

[@pinamar13]

GRACIAS VERDADERAMENTE GRACIAS POR NO OLVIDARSE DE LOS MEJORES MUSICOS QUE HA DADO iNGLATERRA MARAVILLOSO ! ME TRANSPORTA JUSTO AL BOSQUE Y PODE ESCUCHAR LAS CANCIONES DEL BOSQUE

[@wisgliebau]

One of the best videos of the guys on KZbin, in my opinion. Still browsing through some of them though. I'm a younger guy who's really into Jethro Tull, and will have my first opportunity to see them live in Los Angeles at the end of this summer. Can't wait for it!

[@eugenblaj]

every man in the band is absolute a genius. you cannot perform a tull song from the beggining to the end without hours and days of learning. but what about singing 10 songs from tull? they are and will remain the best!

[@sarcoplasm]

Talented, Unique, A True Master. IAN ANDERSON! We may never see his like again.

[@retroworks4453]

Ahh... it was so out-of-the-box when it came out. And now it still is. It was 11% popular at its peak, and will be 11% a hundred years from now.

[@tubesubmissions]

The talents of Anderson, is worth more than that of gold!

[@Kedbuka]

Great song played beautifully by this great band. Love it. They were really something live. Glad I was able to see them.

[@waterfalldeva1]

When they were popular in the 70's I was about 16, didn't like to watch them if they were on TV live on some show or concert hall in Detroit cause the lead singer freaked me out, but I would listen to them on the radio or my brothers' albums and *loved* them. Now 30 + yrs later, I see he was not just a (brilliant) singer and musician but an actor and a clown...no need to fear him!

[@jakob61]

Just great, love him . thanks for the film..

[@dmemswiler]

Saw this tour, too. What an incredible performance and this is a jewel of a video, with great (rare) quality audio to boot! This was the second tour of Tull's that I saw...1979 I think, with 1975's Warchild the first. My bro went to the Aqualung tour and Thick as a brick as well as the 1971 Passion Play tour. I bought the coat and the boots and took up guitar... Ian's the greatest rock songwriter of all time (next to John Lennon)...

[@mi1964amigo]

What a brilliant Catweazel type character Ian Anderson is! A lovely posh speaking voice and the most brilliant music. GENIUS.

[@redonblue11]

Jethro Tull - just one word, fantastic! Ian Anderson, fully alive, fully human, totally unique - what a talent!

[@cinemascotland]

Ian Anderson bought my late fathers house in the highlands. Musical perfectionism.

[@masterbardjudith]

Where has this been all my life? He's a mad faun goblin prince, leaking music and mayhem like a stoned Pan.

[@neotheone7923]

perfect description

[@bethk3773]

You are very articulate.

[@kieranthomas6489]

A tip : watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@rileykorbin5896]

@Kieran Thomas definitely, I've been using Flixzone for months myself :)

[@KingHellstrings]

This is prog, man! Tull is a band of REAL musicians, not like so many other "supergroups" that just have simple four-chord progressions.

[@farrog]

Loved them so much back then - still do xx

[@masterugie]

Jethro Tull will surprise me till the end of time.

[@tailsoluv]

I never really thought about them doing this live before. That is incredible that they could do songs like this one live rather than have to lip synch it. This is true and absolute talent. I have always loved Jethro Tull and while several of their other albums are close, this was my favorite.

[@jaysonryder1973]

Being born in '73, I have one question. Why can't there be musicians with this level of passion and talent around today? Or at least why must they be such a minority? Music has never been about who sells the most records, it is all about expression, and conveying your thoughts and feelings to your audience. These guys remind what it is like to believe in magic again. Truly amazing.

[@terezalaznova1028]

Absolutely agree...

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Like many things Western in govt, society & culture , popular music has greatly declined!

[@Aqualung-ki9ur]

It's a gift from God

[@kuhchicken]

Stunning...just simply stunning!

[@barkingsheltie]

I had the fortunate opportunity to see them in 78, supporting the new album. It sounded so great, we often wondered if they were using tape machines!

[@sabratova13]

Awesomeness! Just wonderful. What a composer and what a band. :)

[@michaelmclarney1994]

Unfortunately, I was too young to see this, my favourite line up and my favourite era of Tull. I discovered them in 1979 and didn't get to see a concert until 1982.

[@1ihws]

I wasn’t - this was indeed “my” era of Tull; grew up with older siblings so this was performed at one of the first live concerts I ever attended … 😀😀

[@michaelmclarney1994]

@@1ihws that's excellent, you were very lucky to see this line up playing live!

[@Mandragore12345]

they will never be to old to rock n roll...

[@paduapete1]

fantastic. The first time i have heard of this band.

[@jkorshak]

Never saw a Tull show I didn't enjoy but this band lineup was my favorite, and it's a great album.

[@456run]

this is such timeless great music... whole new generations will discover it, bon voyage.

[@mca19580]

What a great album and tour - to make ya feel muich better.

[@dougrhon]

If this band does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame then there should be no rock and roll hall of fame.

[@Stacy55ish]

For some of the younger people visiting this post, you may or may not be familiar with the group Jethro Tull. Composer (and bearded rock genius) Ian Anderson merged classical rock riffs with a Renaissance-era flavor and consummate musicianship, and was known for his onstage frenetics and flute playing. This cover tune from Song From the Wood, their 1977 masterpiece, is just a taste of this superb album. Everyone who appreciates this group should have at least this CD in their collection.

[@lindabphoenix]

INNNNCREDIBLE!!!! Just found this version! BEAUTFIUL!!

[@jakob61]

ian for me you are a legend you great man. thanks jakob.

[@1610austin]

real musicians .

[@EverythingAutoDealer]

The greatest most unique, and creative progressive rock band of this, or any other time. I've seen Jethro Tull over 30 times. Each performance had the same energy, attention to musical detail, and extranordinary performances. This lineup is missed!

[@lecaramuca]

I´m a brazilian girl...Jethro Tull is my favorite music band. I love it!!!!

[@greeny1746]

Not a studio recording, but a live show for the BBC. Shows just how good they were (and are) live!

[@Broonzied]

Graet performance from my favourite Tull album.

[@sjs928]

Had to watch again...! These guys are BADASS.....

[@korghkyron]

Awesome! Ian Anderson is a great performer. Songs from the wood is a great album. Thanks for share this!

[@sebamtorres]

i discover this band 5 days ago. i didnt feel so thankful with music since i discoverd Pink Floyd

[@martinhayward4466]

Best live version I have heard of this

[@ebquinn]

Gives me the chills this is so good. The music, poetry, performance and heck, creativity, are all amazing - and with a sense of humor. Plus they dance across a number of musical genres effortlessly. To top it off Ian smacks those cymbals at the end with superior alacrity. You just can't beat this. Thanks to whomever posted this one.

[@slowhand5922]

Two great masterpieces of modern music history. The song and the band! Just to imagine these sounds before making them real... It's plain ingenius. One of my all time favorite Top 5 bands if not the number 1.

[@sanaman666]

every1 want to be like them...they are something more then gods!!

[@miriamele3]

I saw Tull in their "Songs from the Wood" tour right after the album came out. This vid is just what I remember from the concert! It was FANTASTIC, as is the album. One of my favorites. Altogether, I've seen them four times. Consummate musicians, and I truly think Ian Anderson is a genius.

[@Samoyta]

Barrie absolutely kicks ass on drums here. Remarkable composition--you hear something new every time you listen. There's just nothing else in modern music quite like this. Sheer brilliance.

[@neilgibson9959]

Great comment, EXCEPT...'BARRIE' as you called him, is Martin Barre, the black and white striped -pant legged guitarist of 40+ years (!!!) service in the band... The energetic drummer is AMAZING, but that's Barriemore Barlow...the 2nd, and arguably, the 'best fit' drummer that Jethro Tull ever had...and obviously, he and ALL of the players in that lineup were multi-instrument talented. The drummer?, momentarily playing flute? (and glockenspiel)... I know Martin Barre also played 'live' marimba, saxophone, and I believe, flute. Amazing!!! Missed!!! So Grateful!!!

[@mjfindlay1968]

AMAZING SOUND! No group today has this much blending of sounds and greatness.

[@whiteflag1000]

During this time, music was a passion.

[@safemypikey]

omg its so good It like Korpiklaani 30 years ago! Hail the songs of the wood!

[@ParthosGR]

Anderson is simply one of the Biggest Genius In Music History...no matter the genre... join the chorus if you can...

[@caseyhmusic]

5 Stars!!! Tight harmony, tight rhythm, extremely progressive, and a very interesting composition. Not to mention great showmanship. Hat's off!!

[@taradead]

tull at their peak - masterpiece of an album

[@placidian]

They were so prog back in those days, I love it!

[@bernardo_olafson]

The first Rock Album I ever listened to was Songs from the Wood.

[@boerni1976]

Think this track shows Ian on his highest point as a musician,performer and songwriter!Is such a unique song, there's nothing in the world thats similar to this!

[@fedfyr]

thats really well sung by the band in the beginning! i wish the others in my band could sing like that :) its so cool...

[@myworms]

Gentle Giant albums from 1975-1980 were issued by Chrysalis Records in the UK, and Capitol Records in the US. Jethro Tull was also signed to Chrysalis Records, which distributed their albums in the US & UK for many years. I just checked!

[@robf6105]

Amazing harmonies. Such a tight band. Perfectly in sync.

[@leone.6190]

Hehe

[@orangepeelx]

Songs From The Wood is one of my all time favourite albums ever :-)

[@ronhaugen1161]

What a great album, you know vinyl!!

[@ekaminska8]

He is extraordinary !!!!

[@fluffydolly]

truly the one & only.......jethro tull !!!!

[@LesPaul3399]

the bass player is just rediculously good! so good

[@geoffnickles]

Fantastic performance! Ian is amazing to watch live. Thanks for posting this clip!

[@macataca100]

idealno......such lovely song......

[@Longtack55]

Lovely joyful happy lyrics.

[@Marchant2]

God! I'm so impressed!

[@lupat5630]

Genius of all time ever

[@endlessepic]

One of tulls best albums.

[@Mel7vc]

Such beautiful harmonies. I love Ian and the band so much.

[@lifeson46]

wow , you can see how hard it was to play this one live...it has some very intricate stuff in it

[@marksandoval3126]

Saw this tour of the album, great show, went back the next night! Incredible performance 🎭

[@rougerfeh]

Revolucionaram o FOLK ROCK fodão os caras

[@frankiebarneyann123]

Incredible musicians

[@Mr3Machine]

Jethro Tull always remind me of christmas. I love them for that.

[@jamiegobangbang]

one of the best!

[@TinaICXCNIKA]

WOO...that was nice...really nice!

[@radiostation8319]

I grew up on Tull

[@NihongoGuy]

Same here. DE WR8Y

[@slowhand5922]

Me too. I was fifteen and SFTW came out. And I was complete over the moon and instantly fell in love with this music. It was like a revelation.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Sounds uncomfortable ... did you get a lot of flute to the glutes ?

[@tonymanns8249]

Pure genius. The most complex popular rock song that I've ever heard.

[@yogaman1919]

couldn't have said it better myself. Uncle Ian is the reason i took up the flute.

[@mtoesperto]

the only thing better than this,is this twice!

[@LeonTrotsky6782]

Ian Anderson a true legend. So many decades, albums, different band members. Had salmon farms, used satellites, technology & a whole other load of stuff. So called progressive rock, doesn’t do his music any justice. Let alone his business & entrepreneurial skills.

[@jacquelineanderson4958]

One of my favorite tull albums. ian anderson is beautifull.

[@TinaICXCNIKA]

hercegnooee-According to the official website: John Glascock, Jethro Tull's third bass player, was the first member of Jethro Tull to have had a recording career that didn't start with Ian Anderson. He was with the band for only four years (1975-1979), before he died suddenly at the age of twenty eight from complications stemming from a congenital heart defect.

[@mscir]

I wonder what would have happened if Shakespeare and Ian had been contemporaries and known one another, seen each others work! Ian's such a great showman and so creative, it's hard to believe they couldn't have done some sort of work together.

[@drummerhere]

FUCKING AWESOME!! I am a huge Jethro Tull fan!

[@zdenekhodousek5048]

Absolutely music legends Jethro Tull still # 1.....

[@rrtimson]

this is one of my favourite tull songs

[@danasteve524]

@wmdarkmoor The Moodies were first, and their fusion of classical music and rock is fantastic. Anderson used a flute as a stand-out piece, and I would think that it would probably be harder to have a flute upfront than a classical section. In any case, my wife and I are looking forward to see the Moodies in March at the Beau Rivage in Mississippi!

[@dredddritt1079]

GREAT !!!

[@predatorkitten]

i want to be Ian Anderson when i grow up. ♥
