[@bishopswoodcrafts]

The original studio version of "Thick as a Brick" is one song that a complete vinyl LP over 45 minutes long. Jethro Tull played the complete album version on tour when it was released in 1972, and was a HUGE success. On subsequent tours it was shortened (as in this version) to showpiece a number of parts of the song. Often different parts of the song would appear on different tours, but Tull/Anderson would always arrange them so that they flowed and didn't appear disjointed or jarred in any way. I have been lucky enough to see Tull live over 30 times and every gig has been a wonderous experience. Martin Barre (the guitarist) had great relationships with the various bassists over the years, but there are amateur videos capturing his amazing chemistry with Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond during the Passion Play and War Child tours in the early-mid 1970's. Both would run and leap around the stage almost colliding with each other, whilst Ian Anderson was out front doing his dance moves.... and all the time all members of the group were playing the music in perfect time and not missing a note.. An insane group to watch perform during that time - putting on a brilliant show.

He has a pedal next to his mic stand, so he can add some echo effects You see it perfectly at 5:09 and again at 12:14 when he steps on it

[@stanleydolan5609]

Curious if listen to that one song album?

[@nyifnbr18]

Keep in mind this is a 15 minute arrangement of a 45 minute song, there are many more musical changes and themes to explore throughout the song.

[@user-ue3th5ws7p]

YES! It is very much a "through composed" piece, and if you enjoyed this abreviated version, definitely treat yourself to the full album version. This song was the first rock song I ever fully embraced, as a person who was steeped in classical and jazz music from a young age. There are multiple themes that were introduced, explored, reintorduced, and interwoven throughout the original work. Not 100% classical in form, but very much a rock symphony in structure.I still enjoy listening to this song after 40 plus years

​@straycat1551 I agree 100% the greatest live band of all time

[@DropAnchor1978]

Ian had a pedal he stepped on that added a delay to his voice to "double" it, for effect.

[@andeewb]

At least twice one can see Ian operating that pedal.

[@MarshaBonForte]

You can see him clearly tapping the pedal.

[@davidkettell5726]

i cannot believe she did not see that because i did .

[@Johnnycdrums]

I heard the click right after the leg move.

[@jimshorts6751]

It's not a Delay. It's an actual ADT box early, then a pedal later in their career. There's no slap. It's less than a 4 millisecond separation of the exact initial take. A Delay would add multiple trail-off artifacts.

A few years ago he went to practice with his granddaughter and she was asking him what he was doing, his fingerings were wrong. He told her he learned how to play on his own. He started learning how to play "right" with his granddaughter.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

You can tell he's self-taught because he does things with the flute that a flute teacher would have actively discouraged.

[@ricklee5845]

[@timpwhit]

Ian's short monologue at the beginning shows a glimpse of his true self, rather than the "wildman" persona he portrays on stage. In interviews, he is thoughtful and introspective, not at all like what you might expect if you only saw him perform.

[@paulhart3812]

Ian gets that “double voice” effect by stepping on a reverb button by his feet. It’s completely intended. Watch his right foot stepping on the floor reverb device. He did that in all his shows in the 1970s.

[@stephenp.6395]

Reverb does NOT double a voice. You're thinking of a Chorus pedal.

[@normanshute7162]

I remember going to the Thick as a brick tour ,which they opened with this song. Ian looked at the crowd 45 minutes later and said We would like to play our second song now.😅

[@clsieczka]

And now, for our second number, 🙂

[@Krendall2]

He'd do the same thing for the Passion Play tour.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

I love his story of how he took up the flute. In the late ‘60’s he was a budding rock guitarist, and one night went to a club in London. Jimi Hendrix was performing. He decided that night he needed to take up another instrument. Another reason to give thanks to Jimi Hendrix.✌️❤️🎶

[@TonyBailey-xf5tn]

It wasn't Hendrix, it was Eric Clapton

[@tom587]

According to Ian, in an interview he explained he wanted something that he could play and use as the frontman. He saw the Moody Blues Ray Thomas flutist and that inspired him to adopt the flute.

[@DemokratiedesProletariats]

Ian Anderson is an official prog rock god.

[@dunringill1747]

Ian Anderson is a self taught genius. He took no training for any of what he does. As for his band line up we see here -- INCREDIBLE TALENT that has been greatly praised by some of the most noteworthy professional musicians of our day. For the echo effect - Ian has a foot pedal switch. We see him using it on those wider full stage camera shots.

[@Krendall2]

The lineup here is generally considered Tull's best lineup.

[@jesseheiman1806]

You were amazed at the number of musical changes in this performance. When this song came out, he performed on stage and on the album all 45 minutes of this song. There were many more changes in that full performance, including the appearance of a 6-foot tall white rabbit on stage. This song was the lead song on the album that followed Aqualung and Ian felt that he had to come out with something entirely different than the Aqualung album, so he came out with this masterpiece. On stage, he was in constant motion, dancing and prancing all over the stage. The night I saw them was just magic.

[@sleepingwolf_8]

Some don't like the fact that he plays the flute and say it's not a rock instrument (and still do). I am not one of them. He is a rockstar in his own rite! And a very nice person on and off stage.

[@alwilson3204]

Except in some moments, like when he went to Russia a few years ago and ran down America, something he never would of done when so needy for the almighty U. S. dollar.

[@gosborg]

That’s so hilarious! A bucket can become a rock instrument if you hit it right.

[@mickymiller6130]

Saw them live in Vancouver BC 1970 with Fleetwood Mac. Fantastic performance! Jethro Tull (baptised 30 March 1674 - 21 February 1741, New Style) was an English agriculturist from Berkshire who helped to bring about the British Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century. He perfected a horse-drawn seed drill in 1701 that economically sowed the seeds in neat rows, and later developed a horse-drawn hoe. Tull's methods were adopted by many landowners and helped to provide the basis for modern agriculture.

[@ricklee5845]

Yes Sir, that is correct. With Ian Anderson nothing is by chance, everything has a meaning, even the name. 👍

[@smogthehorse9409]

Jethro tull is my ancestor on my mothers side, she was a tull from Berkshire, Reading has a great museum with lots of Jethro stuff. As I kid my mum told me about Jethro tull, as a teenager I was dissapointed she wasn't talking about the band.

[@Bogie3855]

When he did this track in 72, he came out dressed in rags and spent most of the act on one foot with his flute spinning over his head and he would just reach up and pull it out of the air. To see this done live is mind blowing. I had never seen anything like it and I had been to a lot of concerts by then. My stereo system will cleanly play at concert level. Damn I love this album, it has provided so much happiness over the years.

[@susanfitzsimons2384]

This is the condensed version of the 45 minute album cut of this song. One of the most gifted Prog bands of all time. Ian was so far ahead of his time with issues that we are still involved with to this day (homelessness, environmental, etc..). He is self-taught on the flute so the genius is clearly evident. He is the poster boy for any ADHD person (my husband's idol). They were a great LIVE band and put on a great show. Saw them and AC/DC in the same month and I am not sure I have fully recovered all these decades later.

ADT - Artificial Double Track. Designed by the EMI Abbey Road studio engineers in late 1966-early 67. Made at the request of John Lennon (who hated double tracking his vocals). Similar to echo and delay except it doubles the original vocal by less than 4 milliseconds with no echo, reverb, or delay artifacts in the replay. Its an exact reproduction of the initial dry vocal.

I played french horn in school and I didn't get the hang of that breathing technique. Wow. That brings back memories.

[@spiralsearch4169]

An interesting thing is that Ian Anderson's IQ is said to have been indexed at 138, making him a solid genius, which probably attributes to his success as a musical composer-performer. Jethro Tull was always known to be the most entertaining concert performances to attend, leaving fans to use words, such as genius, to describe the experience.
