My brother saw Jethro Tull several times and it was hard to get him off cloud nine for days. He said Ian's flute glowed in the dark. I have since lost my brother but everytime I hear JT he's there with me. Thanks.

[@emilyflotilla931]

I'm sorry for your loss. So good you have those memories!

[@tommccafferty5591]

I saw Jethro Tull in Columbus Ohio in November 1970. Opening act was Black Sabbath. I don't remember all that much about the concert. It was the day after my 21st birthday.

[@klasseact6663]

That's awesome🙏😇❗️

[@garyschill7923]

I'm glad JT is a portal for you!

[@aileenturrietta7553]

@@emilyflotilla931 Thank you. That's so kind.

[@vinniemoran7362]

This band has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Their vast body of work, their evolution into different styles while retaining their signature sound, their musicianship, their songwriting, their originality, their bluesy rock mixed with lyrical beauty, their stunning lead singer-flautist, their sheer mindfucking coolness. And no cigar.

[@RM-iq7dk]

Just further testament to how political the Hall is. If you don’t kiss the ring you are blackballed. Ian said they don’t really care about induction because he never viewed them as a Rock band.

[@steveclapper5424]

Really?

[@gregoryhenderson2640]

The rrhof has become garbage. Been that way for a while.

[@RM-iq7dk]

It was interesting. Ian did an interview back in early 2022 that he viewed the RRHoF as an American Institution that was geared more towards American inspired music. So while it was not so much that JT was not a R&R band, he felt they didn’t belong in the Hall because they were not influenced by Americana music like the Stones, Beatles, Clapton etc who were influenced by American music, ie. the early Blues musicians, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry etc. and owed their early fame to American audiences. Ian said except for their first album he was not influenced by a lot of American music. It was an interesting take on the Hall, or one heck of a defense mechanism for not getting in. He also stated that Jenn Werner has never been a fan of JT so Ian said the odds of getting chosen are probably pretty slim. Again, you have a couple of idiots deciding the fate of who gets to be nominated. Totally ridiculous.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Fuck the R&RHOF!...They SUCK! Ian and Tull don't need vindication, especially from jabronis like that organization...

[@ontheroad5317]

When I was young I played this whole album through, at least a thousand times. I still remember every word, every note, every drum beat. Same goes for Thick as a Brick.

[@btannereagle]

I played this and Thick as a Brick everyday after school ! And now at age 66, I still know all the lyrics. Tull’s music is timeless!

[@marlonelliot8943]

Aqualung is kind of a forgotten classic.

[@MasterThimself]

Aqualung is the only Vinyl record i wore out because i played it so much...

[@mikenorton632]

But do you remember the "Benefit" album?

[@robertacolarette1594]

So did I. I played this album everyday, the whole thing.

[@pelegrim3264]

Jethro Tull - one of the best bands of all time.

[@robertlavorna2968]

agree!! great musicians, ian anderson i believe never got enough credit as a frontman, maybe cause he did everything....what a showman....

[@strqrt70]

My favorite band for sure, but I’m always dismayed by most peoples indifference towards them. Ian Anderson is one of the great singers, songwriters and performers of the last 50 or so years. I was lucky enough to see them a few times in the 80’s and early 90’s and to meet Ian Anderson in 1992. I still have my autographed ticket stub.

[@rickmeagher9049]

So how disfunctional is the damn rrhof anyway.

[@lizard6444]

Yes👍

[@fordp69]

@@rickmeagher9049 Don't worry about that, he has already stated that he doesn't want to be in the RRHOF.

[@mikenorton632]

Why does everyone overlook the "Benefit" album? " With you there to help me", "Nothing to say", "Son", "To cry you a song", "A time for everything?", "Teacher", "Sossity; your a woman" It's like nobody remembers that this album exists!

[@ge4me]

Benefit and Standup are my go-to's for snow blowing or mowing... snow blowing in the dark with some good ear buds, true bliss listening...

[@marinamartinez6886]

Agree, my first JT album and still a favorite! 👍

[@andyman58]

Agreed.

[@samuelecallegari6117]

I would answer that everyone overlook every album aside from Aqualung and Stand Up

[@shirak23]

Benefit is my FAVORITE Jethro Tull album!

[@waltw4537]

My wife saw Tull decades ago and said they just ripped the paint off the walls! Nobody like Ian Anderson!

[@donhadfield2835]

Martin Barre was the unsung hero and star of this band. Musicians came and went regularly but Martin was the pillar (aside from Ian obviously) of taste and power. He is still our there touring and rocking on the 50th Aqualung Anniversary Tour. Interesting news too is that Ian is coming out with a new Tull album in the spring.

[@vicprovost2561]

Amen to that, Stand Up & Benefit have some great stuff from Martin on them that no one ever reacts to.

[@HughCorbyCruick]

And Ian didn’t have the decency to acknowledge Barre during Tull’s 50th anniversary tour.

[@johnhoerl7326]

I saw Martin earlier this year, with the mighty Clive Bunker on drums. Great great show - Martin still rocks *hard*. I have to admit that I still haven’t forgiven Ian for the way he treated Martin.

[@MissAstorDancer]

@@vicprovost2561 Two of my favorite reactors DID do reactions to "Stand Up", and those are still some reactions I go back to again and again!

[@rickintx1125]

Barre was the equal of Jimmy Page in creating insanely hooky riffs. Check out any song from Benefit, for example.

[@atdeacon]

One of the many songs by Jethro Tull that are dripping with sarcasm about the hypocrisy of modern christianity. These were written in the early 70's and are more relevant today by an order of magnitude

[@jillsallade7168]

The bomb! Jethro Tull amazing. Definitely S Tier

[@2869may]

"TEACHER", "CROSSEYED MARY" are my fav's.

[@bigb6046]

"MARRYYYYY" , "Cross Eyed Mary" for sure!

[@CorePathway]

So so many…Wond’ring Aloud, Dun Ringill, I have a soft spot for Seal Driver as well as Heavy Horses.

[@2869may]

@@CorePathway Thank you, 3 of 4 made the playlist... "Seal Driver" was my favorite, I hear so many things in it..! I hear DIO, Kansas, Supertramp and at 2:22, that is Iron Maiden off the Seventh son of a Seventh Son Album.... which is a concept album Masterpiece...!

[@decadesbandtucson4880]

Tull Is FANTASTIC!!!

[@JKM395]

They can do no wrong in my sight. I've loved them for about 40 years now, so most of my life. They're fun every single time you hear them.

[@BlackmoreVerified]

My God next! Amazing live performance.

[@lancevaughn432]

I love the album Aqualung, A lot of the songs intertwine, Locomotive Breath, Aqualung, Cross eyed Mary, My God, Hymn 43. My first rock concert 1971 I was 13, The Aqualung Tour.

[@JenLMcCarty]

Locomotive Breath is still my favorite, and I remember one of you saying after listening that Tull was your favorite new band from the "new to you" music that the channel was introducing you to. Every instrument on that song is literally replicating the noise and movement of a train. It's a masterpiece, one of many that they made.

[@danwood4171]

I agree on L.B. Although bungle in the jungle is there most "fun".

[@williamneumann6622]

My favorite is Hunting Girl, and One Brown Mouse is close. I agree with Dan that Bungle is the most fun, although I don't think they were much into "fun" songs... Teacher was kinda fun. Wish I could have had the chance to see them live. All the instrumentalists were fantastic.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

My pops took me to a Jethro Tull concert when I was very young. Maybe I six or seven. I don’t remember much aside from Ian Anderson standing on one leg most of the show, being terrified of him, and it being incredibly loud! Love this song!

[@allanjuhl9574]

Ha! When I saw him, Standing in one leg was what I was going to mention. It was like flamingos at night.

[@maggieshevelew7579]

Ian Anderson, one of the best vocalists in rock, imo. Totally under-appreciated.

[@jamesriddle9125]

Agree

[@mymusicbymemusic]

By whom?

[@VersinKettorix]

He does have one very unique sound. The world would be poorer without it.

[@irishgrl]

Love Jethro Tull. Can’t go wrong musically or Lyrically.

[@HamiltonRb]

Love him too, saw him twice, but not one of my favorite Tull songs

[@David-iv6je]

@@HamiltonRb Tull is the band name. The singer/flutist is Ian Anderson. Same guitarist throughout. Unusual straight rocker for Tull. But has their own special touch. And Anderson can belt it out.

[@David-iv6je]

I'm more into their folk/rock sound, which is unique in my mind. The "Thick as a Brick" single, "Songs from the Wood" or "Skating away" all all intense folky bangers. "Nothing is Easy" is another good rocker. "Locomotive Breath" is of course legendary.

[@irishgrl]

@@David-iv6je Songs from the Wood & Stormwatch are my 2 favorite Tull albums. I like this song OK, but I think Tull shines on their folksier or more Medieval sounding songs as well.

[@David-iv6je]

@@irishgrl 100% agree! It's what set them apart from everybody else. Truly a unique sound. And with that Bird jersey we could be just as easily chatting in the comments section of an NBA video! 😄

Ian Anderson taught himself how to play the flute! Amazing musician. Tull RULES!!!!

[@michaelnordman4334]

To get the enormity of this band simply listen to the sophomore release Stand Up album beginning to end and understand you are listening to 1969 and you will then appreciate the master quality of every thing they do. Just a remarkable under rated band.

[@tommathews3964]

I've seen a helluva lot of great bands since 1968 and Tull still stands out as one of the most powerful live shows I've ever seen! Aqualung is a phenomenal album! I still listen often!

Too Old To Rock N Roll, To Young To die! Live version. My first Tull concert was in 78. Saw them several more times over the yrs.

[@legalizitt]

I was in college in the 70s and JT was always playing at our apartment! Saw them in concert many times. They were so different and so good. Happy to see you like this wonderful band.

[@fredhall6525]

If you want to get taught by Jethro Tull then listen to "Teacher".

[@moefeaux1442]

"My God" off Aqualung will blow you away and plenty of flute Alex. Give it a try.

[@bethhowton2719]

They belong in the R&R Hall of Fame., I've seen them 5 times and I would go again, the first time was 1972 or 3, last time 2000. Enjoy

[@alanglover9117]

There's a nice song on their second album Stand Up called We used to Know which I love and which bears an amazing resemblance to an Eagles mega hit.

[@kilgoringtroutless6295]

"A New Day Yesterday" off the second album 'Stand Up" is another seldom heard banger worth a listen. Great guitar and flute work on it with a driving, sometimes fuzzy, baseline.

[@timdeneau5552]

Stand up is awesome. Little know and pure gold

[@adrianstevens2146]

YES! "Stand Up"! Every song on it is amazing. "Nothing is Easy" and "We Used to Know" are faves of mine, and how could you not include 'Bouree"? And "A New Day Yesterday", as you mentioned is also banger. I think it's worthy of an A & A full album review. ROCK!!!

[@andykuhn9798]

Andy's huge smile during the muted string swipes, was totally worth the price of admission!!!

[@nehemb]

You have to do the whole album now please! Like many great albums it is a series of great songs, that when put together make an even greater statement. The pace changes, lyrical narrative etc - it's a must listen.

[@IisDeeps]

Preach!!! Like what I did there? Lol

[@dongiovanni6796]

if I could like 100 times, I would. A&A are WAY overdue to do "Aqualung" start to finish. It is probably more relevant in all respects when it was released 50+ years ago.

[@Dr_Bombay]

not sure if it would be your jam or not, but Tull's "Songs From The Wood" album is one of my favorites. inspired by Ian Anderson buying a home in the english countryside, it's full of just great work by them.

[@michaelknight2118]

Lucky to have seen in concert, I'll parrot everyone's take that JT had some of the best shows. Nobody else tried to sound like them. Good call guys.Thanks.

[@armadillotoe]

Just a holiday reminder, Jethro Tull has an album of Christmas music.

[@dunringill1747]

"S" tier indeed. This isn't even their strongest line up. Jethro Tull also gives incredible live performances. Ian Anderson is arguable THE number one Concert Showman in rock.

[@CharCanuck14]

Aqualung and Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon are probably my favourite albums. Thanks guys!

[@rogertroja4400]

I saw them in concert 3 times. Each was a different venue, different entrances (all very cool) each had a different vibe, every one was FANTASTIC. At one all the musicians were on stage for five minutes before anyone noticed. At another, they all appeared playing their instruments in a puff of smoke (including Ian in the middle of the stage, still don't know how he got there) and at another there was nothing but a heartbeat and a growing spotlight for what seemed like forever. Showmanship that was hard to beat (Yes was a distant second, but still great.) Aqualung was one of the fist albums I bought myself when I was a kid (HELP! by the Beatles was first.) I could probably still sing the entire album with out listening to it (I am almost 69 years old now.) Can't say enough about this band.

[@imp736]

Stand Up, and Benefit albums are what introduced me to Jethro Tull, and are sometimes overlooked.

[@jenndavin]

I can't even start with Jethro Tull...best live band I've ever seen back in the day. Ian Anderson is a genius. The band was always tight and absolutely entertaining. Gotta stop...or I could write pages. Thanks, guys.

[@zenclover8468]

I know you've said you were thinking about listening to the full album at some point but i think there's other albums to consider after youve listened to 4 songs off this one. "STAND UP" thier 2nd album is solid and not so prog rock yet. "Heavy Horses" is an excellent album front to back, and "SONGS FROM THE WOOD" is a classic Tull album with little to no commercial value but the Tull fans still adore it.

[@vicprovost2561]

Stand Up and Benefit are awesome, not a bad song on either and amazing rock with a vibe all their own.

[@zenclover8468]

@@vicprovost2561 you know i never got too into benefit. I like some of the live performances of the songs but i actually think the album is a bit depressing (even Ian admits this). The cover art is cool and if you include "the teacher" single then it raises the bar a bit, but i find people that lived through that era like it alot more than fans like me that were born long after. But each to thier own!

[@vicprovost2561]

@@zenclover8468 Yep, I lived that music when it was released. Early Jethro Tull was a shock to many in the music industry and set the groundwork for much to come. We wanted to see them almost as bad as Zeppelin.

One of my favorite concerts was Tull, mid-70’s Chi Stadium. A friend and I talked our way backstage. Side-stage, really. I think the groupie looking girl we talked to gave us passes for our effort. We had worked our way down to the stage somehow and then pointed to our 35mm cameras and said we were press. I was only 16, lol! So, spent the whole show just a few feet from the band. Briefly stood inside, that’s inside, one of the giant speakers when the band was rocking out, to see what that was like. Surprised I can hear at all. A warning sticker I read while in there said 120 decibels, can produce deafness. Ah, the whacky shit u try when ur young. The passes gave us access to the after concert party at the hotel, too. What a night. Kind of a coming-of-age thing, looking back on it.
