Some say bohemian rhapsody is iconic track but thick as a brick is legendary

[@autk]

1975 saw them in Atlanta at 15 years old with my friends, thanks mom, been a lifelong fan forever

[@lukahmad5683]

Being 15 at 75 must be great, sir!

[@autk]

@@lukahmad5683 it was amazing to see Jethro Tull in 1975 at the age of 15, incredible, and to enjoy them until the ripe old age of 63 right now and still loving them, amazing

I got that beat 1977, 11 years old New Haven, Connecticut. The building does not even exist anymore.

1972 TAAB at “The Fabulous Forum” Los Angeles @17 years old. Great concert and these guys bring fun combined with great playing!

[@mattrogers1946]

I was at this show. Dinkelsbuhl Germany 1986 when I was stationed overseas. We ran into some of the crew and had a couple of pints after the show.

[@chiefmouser7]

Me too, Rory Gallagher and Status Quo also played awesome sets!

[@Fnstine]

⚠️The most gifted front man in the history of rock and roll.👍 Entertainer extraordinaire.🎯

[@immerwiederich]

Nur leider ist seine Stimme jetzt im Alter nicht mehr so stark. Habe ihn gestern live erlebt...trotzdem ein Erlebnis !

How can you not love Jethro Tull and Ian's joyous and varied music ??

[@jennybates]

One of my best memories is of meeting Ian, in 1974.

[@user-xn4qg1xm1d]

Fantastic music

[@user-qz9ux3gl2z]

Sounds amazing as always! Ian is the greatest performer of all time!

[@danmar007]

He's great, but let's not exaggerate, okay?

[@user-qz9ux3gl2z]

@@danmar007 I am not exaggerating at all. I know Ian is not the famous and his songs are not for everyone, but just think about that. What if he was famous as Freddie mercury or Michael Jackson? What’s make him better performer? In my opinion only, he is the greatest frontman who ever played with any band. Ian is a virtuoso musician, playing the flute, the guitar, piano, mandolin, pipes, saxophone, clarinet and more. For all the things he does no one in the history of rock and roll can match what he does as a one man performer. You can just see the rhythm that this man had, his hand movements, his leg movements, how he would coordinate a beat with his body and the way his eyes light up when he’s hitting certain notes. I was blessed to see Jethro tull by myself a few years ago, and I get it, his voice isn’t what it’s used to be but he was still awesome, and he is doing it for over 50 years! Just a dominating force on stage. He has the all package, songwriter, performer, stage present, musician, great humour and just one of a king human being. But it's just my opinion of course, so don't be mad about me 😅

[@danmar007]

@@user-qz9ux3gl2z 🙂 I'm not mad at you. I love Jethro Tull. I've been following them since they first came out. And I can listen to their early albums all say long. As a guitarist, I was partial to Martin Barre's talent, although I do think Ian is an original in the world of rock. But there have been SO MANY extraordinary entertainers throughout history.

[@lukahmad5683]

I love when the bass, keyboard and guitar go in unison xD

[@robsonnicoly3060]

Aí sim heim bom gosto!

[@vikingar]

Love the “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" drum solo intro there! Lol Ian is always brilliant and surrounds himself with great musicians to play his music with him… They are often called Jethro Tull and become timeless moments for all of us! What else is there to call it than ‘Tull Music’?

[@joachimburkhardt655]

Pretty nice ! You caught my ??? away, thanks a lot -:) Thought about half an hour about the intro, sooo wellknown even searched in my brain wherefrom this hyper intro i knew. Especially and nice to know, they also play it sooo genious ! Even an album which is filled with extradionary music is "Waters of Change" by Beggars Opera -:)

[@JerryHawkins-rr3ry]

Incredibility tight, too bad this was not remixed. Tull rules! Ian Anderson, has been the greatest entertainer in the Rock business for decades. The Bass work by Dave Pegg is incredible and Martin as ALWAYS. Geddy Lee, eat your heart out. I absolutely LOVE Martin's strumming technique. Just think, this was FORTY years ago!

[@garyambrose2249]

Absolutely love Jethro Tull

[@jahpurple1]

Saw them in 1969 in a movie theater on stage live in a small town in PA, Wilkes Barre... Blew me away... Flawlessness🎵🎼🎶💜

[@Vampirebear13]

Had for me to believe this was 37 years ago. I've been a fan for 50 years but didn't get to see Tull live until the 90's on the tour with ELP as the opening act. It was a stellar concert.

[@treeduck3705]

Sounds great!

If you look up Ian Anderson in the dictionary he is defined as - tenacious unlimited talent.

This was the time, when his voice was at the best time, and flute comes over the voice microfon. And not wireless.

[@mrc7638]

Thank you.

[@lukahmad5683]

Mr Ian already been gone surgery here if I'm not mistaken he had surgery in 84? But he's been doing great in 86! I feel thankful to get a chance to enjoy Tull's music while I'm in my 20s now. It gives me strength. You guys rocks!

[@scottmatznick3140]

Yeah it's because he went out on tour too soon that his voice was permanently destroyed. What you're hearing here is him killing his voice.

[@samuelecallegari6117]

He had a different but good and expressive voice until '92/'93 after 95 he started to have the tone he has now

[@lukahmad5683]

@@samuelecallegari6117 Oh that's what happen, thanks for the info. Well, at least he's in a good shape and keep making new albums like RökFlöte xD

@@scottmatznick3140 Oh God, really. So if he rest a while, he had the chance to recover fully?

[@someoneno-one7672]

His voice was not destroyed even in around 2008 when I saw him. By Thick-As-A-Brick revival tour he lost a lot of it and made a good decision to hire a singer. He can say it all with a flute.

[@LeeHardingakaFirmament]

Ah, the infamous “Under Wraps” tour that damaged Ian’s vocals pretty much beyond repair. This is a great video and great performance but you can definitely tell the high registers in TAAB (especially #Edit 8) were causing havoc to the old vocal cords. All that being said, it’s a brilliant arrangement and Pegg’s playing here is on fire.

[@kingkillah101]

this was after the under wraps tour -- it was one of their few live appearances during the time between Under Wraps and Crest of a Knave. By today's standards I'd say Ian's still in fine form here ! What surprises me is how grey he is here - at only 39 years old! It's because of his work ethic I'm sure!

[@Vampirebear13]

Odd to lead off with the drum solo from Iron Butterfly's "In-Godda-Da-Vida".

[@say1161]

Shame the camera simply ignores the rest of the band; without the contributions of others Tull would have been half the band they became.

I love Tull and Ian but, at this point he had lost his way and ALMOST HIS VOICE. 79 is the end in my opinion. Not the albums but the concerts

[@immerwiederich]

Muss ich bestätigen ! Habe ihn gestern live gehört, seine narksnte Stimme und Art zu singen ist nicht mehr da

[@samuelecallegari6117]

Not the best period for Ian probably. here he was 39 years old but he looked like 10 years older. After 4/5 years he would look much younger

[@systembypassproductions1825]

This must be the infamous under wraps tour, right before Ian damaged his vocal chords!

[@Bullcutter]

Sounds like you bypassed your brain when you wrote that unkind comment!

No, it's 1986 so it's 2 years later after the 1985 pause

Jethro Tull died a martyr..if you believe in that sort of thing..
