Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

From what I read about Benefit is that it is a little bit underrated. For me I can't see why. There are a lot of great Songs on it. This here and 'With you there to help me ', Nothing to say', 'For Michael Collins Jeffrey and me' or ' Sossity, you're a woman' are also very good too.

[@tullfan2560]

What a groovy combination of psychedelia and grunge! One of Tull's many iconic tracks. Martin is laying it on thick.

[@randykasky7120]

Benefit is actually Tull's 3rd lp. Stand up being their 2nd and the first to feature Martin Barre (sounds like Bar) Tull's first lp is called "This Was"

[@davidmckenzie420]

Love Tull. Also check out another gem from this album--"Teacher."

[@davidmckenzie420]

@@428chase It was on Benefit originally. Living in the Past is a compilation album.

[@craigleggett1399]

This was one of the very few songs that Ian played electric guitar on, along with Martin Barre. (pronounced Bar). Benefit was their 3rd album after This Was and Stand Up. Great reaction!

[@StarCitizenSpeakeasy]

nice one. Tull reactions are a rarity on the net. thx for sharing.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Big shout out to whoever requested this. About time the good Tull is played. Won't go into all the facts you got wrong, that's already posted here but this song to me is all about Ian Anderson who wrote it. He's been on the road, he just arrived back to London town and is trying to get home to cry his baby a song. Jethro Tull was simple story telling Blues/Jazz/Rock. Every song was different in their first five albums and each album was different from each other. Personally their albums became redundant as they locked into this marching beat rhythm after an album called Thick as a Brick that carried on well into the 1980s. Not saying they didn't have a few good songs after their first 5 lp's, but the band personel had changed and they were too fantastical for my tastes which has always been Blues Rock with a little Country Rock. Anyway loved you did this. Loved em back when I was discovering music. Nobody else sound like em in the world thats for sure. Peace

[@will-x9c]

JT was immensely popular at this time. I saw them twice back in the day. Martin did a guitar solo that for whatever reason was ear-splitting. People were blocking their ears. I believe I read somewhere that he liked to solve calculus problems for fun. Ian was a first rate showman, you really got your moneys worth. Wild and eccentric onstage he was a quietly intelligent gentleman in "real" life. A stark contrast to the degeneracy of most "rock stars"

[@dvalentino1]

Never get tired of hearing this song. Thanks for the reaction. You might want to check out Mother Goose and Up To Me off Aqualung if you haven’t had a chance yet. Classic Tull!✌️❤️🔥

[@robertwatson2823]

As good as the Aqualung album is, Benefit is my favorite Jethro Tull album.

[@davidconforti8419]

Great song, I haven’t heard this in quite a while. Jethro Tull was my favorite band as a teen in the 70s! So many great songs to choose from: “Nothing is Easy”, “Cross Eyed Mary”, “Bouree”, “Minstrel in the Gallery” … I could go on and on!!!

[@JJ8KK]

The Benefit album was my favorite of their's, offering the Jethro Tull "Sound" that I thought was their best. Just listening to the whole album gives a vibe that boasts of creativity & even 'progressive' change ups. I also like how their bass player on this album seemed to have a more prominent role than in later albums. *Nothing To Say* is probably my favorite

[@tomwagner4406]

This is their 3rd album, Martin Barre was on the Stand UP album which was their 2nd, I'm glad you appreciate the uniqueness of Tull

[@sammybeck7794]

Brings back memories of my LSD days back in the 70s. This album, Benefit and Led Zeppelin III

[@procopiusaugustus6231]

Add Moody Blues “Threshold of a Dream.

[@armandogarza6181]

Good reaction dude. I really liked their first 5 albums quite a lot back in the day, cheers.

[@bobdelp2023]

THIS IS FROM THE ALBUM ( BENEFIT ) THAT YOU HAVE UP SHOWING 😊NORMALLY WHEN IAN'S NOT GOING WHACKY ON HIS FLUTE YOU'LL HEAR HIM PLAYING THE ACOUSTIC OR MESSING WITH TAMBOURINES EVEN!👍😊 HIS AWESOME GUITARIST IS ( MARTIN BARRE ) LIKE THE BARS ON A GUITAR, ISN'T THAT COOL! 💯

[@guidosarducci]

This album was released in April of 1970, right after I turned 20. I was introduced to this album by a friend, and needless to say, I was absolutely blown away! I am 73 today, and this album is STILL one of the best ever with some of the best musicianship ever. Thank you for reacting to it.

[@patrickdoake6022]

Lp benefit great album this track a belter ✌️🇬🇧

[@erictownsend8870]

I don't know if there are any keys on this song, but John Evan played keyboards on the Benefit album, while not yet a member of Jethro Tull. He was a bandmember beginning with the next albu, Aqualung (1971) to 1978, when he quite to pay Beethoven sonatas. The bassist on this album Glenn Cornick, who would soon leave, is also credited with organ on Benefit. Could this be the song?

[@frank215n]

This is one of the few songs that doesn't have any flute on it

[@steveullrich7737]

I haven't heard this in a long time. This was from "Benefit". Great vocal effect on Ian's voice.

[@JC-rb3hj]

My favorite Tull album hands down. I consider this Martin Barre's masterpiece. He explodes off this album, chords, riffs, solos that are nothing less than spectacular. I bought this from my neighborhood record store in 1970 and consider it one of my best purchases.

[@garysteinert8040]

Tull, not like bull or pull with a T. Just ULL with a T in front.

[@gregorydahl5489]

Thank you for your excellent reaction to my favorite Jethro Tull album ! Your getting into all my “best feelings music” these days, which is great ! Not many are, here on U Tube.

[@robertjewell9727]

Yeah, that's in Ian on electric rhythm guitar backing up Martin.

[@paulpalmer4385]

Benefit is still among my top one Tull albums.

[@AdmiringFlowerPot-ut7fe]

Great reaction, much appreciated!

[@maraboo72]

Benefit is one of my favorite Tull albums and productionwise it is one of my alltime favourites of all genres and artists because there is an overall warmth on it that other albums do not have.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎

[@jermaschinot]

They are performing for your "benefit". Martin's first album. John Evan plays keys but is not yet a member.

[@StuartBiliack]

Martin Barre's 2nd album, Stand Up was the first

[@jermaschinot]

thanks pal, i must be gettin' addled!@@StuartBiliack

[@nyrocks5580]

Crazy geat song.

[@rustynail3743]

Tull at the time of this relese was my first concert. I was 13 yo and never looked back

[@johnreed3576]

Tune!

[@ArnoldStirrup]

Martin Barre has continued playing after leaving Tull with his own band - The Martin Barre Band - and has done some great work - could be worth checking out.

[@nyrocks5580]

We went to see him at Bethel Woods (site of Woodstock 69) in October. Excellent. I even got a pic with him.

[@danwagner1702]

Mick Abrahams was the guitarist on the first album. Martin Barre played electric guitar starting with the second album. Ian Anderson plays acoustic guitar. They were originally a 4 piece band, but added a keyboard player on the 4th album (Aqualung). Fun fact: for a short while in between the first and second albums, Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) played guitar. You can see this lineup on the ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS.

[@melissakhalar1842]

❤

[@BG-id2cv]

Ian Anderson played dual lead guitar with Martin Barre (pronounced BAR) on To Cry You A Song.

[@samuelecallegari6117]

I think the leads are both by Martin and Ian played rhythm guitar during the solos

[@BG-id2cv]

@@samuelecallegari6117 No, Ian states in the 50th Anniversary Benefit box that it is him and Martin on lead guitar and mentions Wishbone Ash were doing dual lead guitar around that time.

[@michaelbochnia5686]

Sweet! My favorite Tull song on my favorite album. Benefit is as hard as Tull gets and this is my favorite line up as well. The Rhythm section just kills it here. Enjoy! Love the review.

[@mikeeckel2807]

Aaah! This takes me back to my High School Art Class! Our teacher let us use music to help inspire our work. Jethro Tull was played heavily. Lots of British Blues like Zeppelin, Cream, John Mayall, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc. Those were "heady" days, as we expanded our consciousness.

[@olafsrensen9578]

Absolutly great. Tull have this rytmic and melodic skills that are at a far higher level than any group at that time (for me).No other grope comes even close.

[@mamaflush9945]

I'm proud of you grasshopper! You're musical analysis A+ I believe you are becoming a musical Conosur like the rest of us. 🎶congrats🥂
