I was at the supermarket in Buenos Aires this morning, wearing my "Jethro Tull: Too Young to die" T-shirt, and some random guy (in his 50s) reached me and say "it was a long time since i saw a Jethro Tull shirt", and we start talking about Ian Anderson and his wonderfull music (it was the first time in a couple of years wearing it someone pointed it out), we are too old to rock and rock and too young too die, but still love this music!

[@Depression2010]

Not the same anymore. Ian's voice has gotten pathetic.

[@Depression2010]

@Lea Natale I have been a big JT fan most of my life and am also 60. Lately I have been deep into other musicians and bands like David Bowie, Did you happen to see the music and video he made while dying? Blackstar. I also like Talking Heads/David Byrne. Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler too. I wouldn't waste my time on going to see either Ian or Martin these days. I have probably been to over 100 of their concerts over the years. I have come to believe that Ian has some type of ego or issue where he just can't hang it up and let it go. He is like a punch drunk boxer well over his prime still trying to be a prize fighter. I would have had more respect for him and the band had he hung it up while they were still good. I even wrote to him more than once and suggested he get a new lead singer. For any person that wants to hate on me for my analysis, simply listen to any song he performed pre 1980 and pull up a 2019 video of him doing the same song. He is horrendous. In contrast look up blackstar and go to the 4:30 mark or so of that video and listen to Bowie's beautiful voice at age 69 while dying of liver cancer.

The old rocker wore his hair too long Wore his trouser cuffs too tight Unfashionable to the end Drank his ale too light Death's head belt buckle, yesterday's dreams The transport caf', prophet of doom Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams In his post-war-babe gloom Now he was too old to rock and roll And he was too young to die He was too old to rock and roll And he was too young to die He once owned a Harley Davidson And a Triumph Bonneville Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs Prays that he always will But he's the last of the blue blood's greaser boys And all his mates are doing time Married with three kids up by the ring road Sold their souls straight down the line And some of them own little sports cars And meet at the tennis club do's For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday They've thrown away their blue suede shoes Now they're too old to rock and roll And they're too young to die Yes they're too old to rock and roll And they're too young to die So the old rocker gets out his bike To make a ton before he takes his leave Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner Just like it used to be And as he flies, tears in his eyes His wind-whipped words echo the final take And he hits the trunk road doing around a hundred and twenty With no room left to brake And he was too old to rock and roll And he was too young to die Yes he was too old to rock and roll And he was too young to die No, you're never too old to rock and roll If you're too young to die And no you're never too old to rock and roll But he was too young to die.

If there was a mid evil renaissance musician reincarnated in spirit or traveled thru time it would be Ian Anderson. He captures and combines the lively wild free spirit of the common man of the renaissance with modern rock and roll. If anyone ever goes to a renaissance festival and looked for some kind of connection or relatability just play some Jethro Tull and your there. " Songs from the woods " They're brilliant.

Hobbit Rock. Straight from Middle Earth.

It is a song with a very significant message and more than that the song is old and me being twenty years old resonates!!

[@harry6555]

this is one of the best british bands

[@keithperdue4993]

One of THE best bands live. First saw Tull in '70 & several times since...always amazing!

[@gudulajanzen]

Wunderbar...auch der Flirt mit der Kamera

[@Artyfacts45]

Nice work great title

[@user-John666]

The most crazy thing about Ian Anderson is that I read he doesn’t drink or do drugs!! Just a naturally bonkers frontman, we need more of these guys.

[@randyboyer1756]

He does drink. But he's still amazing

[@user-John666]

@@randyboyer1756 Oh thanks for the correction, just what I heard.

[@bladepanthera]

@@user-John666 he's literally drinking in this video 😂 I get what you mean though, I heard he's quite sensible with his rock n roll lifestyle

[@user-John666]

@@bladepanthera Thanks for the clarification. Maybe they meant he doesn't drink much in comparison to Ozzy, Lemmy etc 😀

[@Neptuneman07]

He sure wasn't faking his drinking.

Saw it live in Pittsburgh 1970 to 1980. Was the best time for Rock and Roll.

Ian's attempts to down that beer while singing that song were nothing short of heroic. 😅

[@malcolm2637]

Ian has always had a magical sense of humour , I've still got his 25years anniversary DVD which has all the countless members of his band meeting in a pub in London. I've lost count of the times I've seen them and still wonder where Ian got that tent from on the live show of Thick as a Brick.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁

I have been quite amused by every comment on this video. No one AT ALL gets the antics in this video for what they are. I'm going to show my (kinda scary) age here, and tell all you young folks what's actually happening here. This was from 1976 - MTV did not exist yet, and would not for several years. Note that what you are hearing is the studio cut of this song. At this point in time, asking an artist to lip-synch to their studio cut was, well, weird. Like I said, MTV did not exist yet. Solid Gold wouldn't even be a thing for several years from this point. If you'll watch other videos from around this time, you'll see similar things - Slade, particularly, was known for the singing members chewing gum. In this video, Ian steps on dude's arm while he's playing, and does the beer silliness later - this is so the listener realizes that THIS IS NOT THE BAND'S LIVE SOUND. Bands at that time were afraid that video of them lip synching their studio cut might lead the viewer to believe that's what they actually sounded like live, and would result in disappointment at live shows, and so they would do odd things like this during these weird new "video" things. This practice disappeared by 1980.

@@BrutishYetDelightful spot on, you can see him trying to mime while spitting beer out and messing around with Martin's guitar 'playing'. All done in good fun and great taste.

[@georgehenderson7783]

@@BrutishYetDelightful I've seen Tull in concert 7 times. Just amazing every time. I think the best one was their Heavy Horses tour.

Ian's voice is shot.he is 70 odd.great band

[@sandrasmith8518]

I saw him several times he's a fantastic man! True at 74 his voice isn't the same, but his heart is still in his music. I absolutely love this man.

[@karla8790]

Fell in love with song when I was 18. I turn 45 next month and still love the song - just got my hands on a 1970’s vinyl Chrysalis LP Tull - Vol. II récord, and it sounds better now than ever on my 1973 Panasonic “Multiplex” Stereo receiver and 1970 Fisher 3-way dual front 8 ohm 50 Watt speakers. “Just like it used to be. TULL!!
