Jethro Tull, truly unique covered a wide range of styles and sound in their career. The most eccentric frontman of them all, the mad Scotsman Ian Anderson . Absolute legends, love them✌️

[@gmanning4881]

the whole band is really talented,no compromises, jethro tull forever

[@Pibbs1]

Ian still's got it!!! Lord love him !!

[@sharpshooterCZ200S]

Jon Lord???

[@rufusflywheel5150]

He’s still my favorite musician,

[@catherinefuregno4316]

Epic song

[@craigthomas2455]

Wow, Martin Barre's lick at the end of the song is pure class. I hope I'm still that good when I'm his age.

[@joe22589]

I do not know even one guitarist who does not like Martin Barre. He is a musician's musician and a master of his craft

[@666UFO666]

What a Voice can't beat it'''

[@william_mazza]

but his face expressions when trying to reach the high notes are too funny hahah!!!! Bella Ian sei un boss

[@aeonflux1017]

Just gets better with age!!♥ You go Ian!!♥

[@georgehenderson7783]

Ian was supposed to try to down a mug of beer during this song like he tried to do in 1976, lol. 😂

[@HeinzPlaggenborg]

Immer noch besser als zu viel zum Sterben und zu wenig zum Leben! Ein Super-Song!

[@jonnybgoode007]

Thanks. Very Cool. I'm, hopefully going to Be 61 next February of 2019, and I can Relate. Love it!!

[@AaronCCR]

Damn Ian Anderson's voice is deteriorating... atleast he's still rockin'.

[@rufusflywheel5150]

Such an entertainer, A true showman, saw them do Aqualung , Thick as a brick, Minstrel in the gallery, and I believe passion play

[@IzaJakubosz94]

Some people are never too old...:)

[@stewartsmotorcycles.315]

This is the perfect example of why some musicians should have stayed in retirement. Jethro Tull were brilliant in the 70's, but this is woeful!

[@eberthdias1026]

Maravilhosos!!

[@mludeiro]

BRAVOO!!!!

[@galianaify]

bonne musique ! merci ian !

[@at0micwerew0lf]

This is a bloody brilliant version 🍺⚡🍺

[@krnhersh]

guess u guys are still pretty young- how different will u be after 60 compared to now? grow up!!! he is still fantastic-!

[@yetivanmarshall1473]

Turned 60 recently and have been listening to more flamenco and classical guitar. I've really changed.

[@fabianolemos840]

Espetacular essa música!

[@elvenao17]

UNVERGÄNGLICH ! War gut, ist gut und wird es immer sein. Ich liebte IAN ANDERSON und Mannen schon als ganz junger Bursche und das wird auch so bleiben. Siempre !

[@torillwesterby5977]

This song was played in my brother funeral ❤️

[@brandonvereyken3925]

there were plenty of groups who were "cool"er (zeppelin), quite a number who were more popular, (stones, beatles, floyd) at least one who could boast of every member writing hit songs (queen) plenty who were just amazing in one way or another, and tons who "rocked harder" blah blah blah (hundreds of names here) but was there ANYONE better than TULL? Name ONE other group whose music gets better and MORE UNIQUE over time, while so many others have been copied or sound just like a dozen other groups. Name another whose lyrics are better than poetry, more perfect than scripture, more relevant than time itself??? With Tull you are REALLY NEVER TOO OLD to rock and roll, cause I'm pretty sure that's what they play in heaven. In hell, it's there, but hopelessly out of tune.

[@luciemelanie25]

That's The Very BEST i think !

[@gahrzahk]

Great thing about Jethro Tull is that they have never aged: they look as tired and shitty today as they did on the cover of "This Was." Good music, though.

[@debbiek7004]

Awesome song

[@MrDirtydad]

the best

[@chrisalchris]

Legends ppl wake up !!!

[@jorgemendoza1319]

Una joya musical!

[@ioa1948]

TIME IS AN ILLLLLLUTION ALWAYS YOUNG TO ROCK ;N; ROLL ! AND WHO CARES ABOUT DEATH...

[@aeonflux1017]

@mickels49 Hey, where are the Beatles and a hundred other bands from that era?? But, Jethro Tull is still alive and performing and on TOP!!

[@vladimirpilipovic3221]

He inhaled helium...the song is a masterpiece.

[@prof.baluprakashdg-frda2748]

Parakram Mishra - Enjoyed this one especially with the words so finely rendered...Thanks!

[@julioviegasneves6041]

Nunca se é "too old to Rock 'n' Roll" mas sempre "too young to die", até um dia...

[@carlosassumpcao7825]

Amazing. Ian ,the salmon man,

[@AnaLuiza-rl9ee]

Ótimo sempre.

[@tedkay_music]

[@torillwesterby5977]

Was played at my brothers funural ,

[@djm51x]

nice

[@agatamazzone4894]

Ian ha sempre eccezionali bicipiti femorali....GRANDEE

[@helmuttdvm]

Ian is still great, but the voice is done. They put on magical shows in the 70s!

[@asilhanbilal2562]

1970 yılların ortasında, Anadolu'nun bozkırından İstanbul'a üniversite okumak için geldiğimde, ilk şehirli bir kızı uzaktan sevdiğimde, onun annesinin Ian Arderson hayranı olduğunu öğrendim.. Hani bende de köylü geleneği var ya, bu Tethro Tull Grubuna kanım çekti, yakınlık duydum.. Hey, benim gençlik yıllarımı depreştirmeyin!. İstanbul Fatih Sultan Mehmet'ten sonra en son benim gibi tutkulu delikanlı gördü o yıllarda o şehirde..

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Not too soon to retire.

[@djm51x]

tiny tim yes

[@TebTengri]

Truth. He'll be breaking into Tiny Tim territory soon.

[@aeonflux1017]

@RocknLester2011 RIGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT!!!!!

[@mamukagiorganashvili3659]

great song.A man orchestra is Ian Anderson.

[@debbiek7004]

Awesome song , way to good to cover so that’s why no one ever did

[@dotubeinn]

Hilarious, too.

[@fabelsen]

Pluss på 14 år..

[@superunt43]

No response?

[@derwolfistda]

Nice to see ! But Ian became a different Ian ! Here he is slowing down this great song more than everyone wants ! Too old to Rock'n Roll ????

[@tiny789]

its not just me then i thought that

[@MuckyWaters]

Problem is, all the band members probably worn out all there old instruments and got new ones, but old Ian still trying to use the same old vocal cords. It didn't help that he was (is?) a smoker. He already started losing his voice in the 80s. I was 15 when I started listening to Jethro Tull, I still listen to their old songs, guess the song is true. :)

[@MuckyWaters]

@superunt43 The not so wonderful singing is why I mentioned the smoking. The music is fine. You obviously have taken it very personally, that's an emotional issue, not a physical issue. Sorry if you can't handle it dude.

[@MuckyWaters]

@superunt43 I 'm not on any "crusade" , just stating an obvious factor why Ian's voice might not be what it use to be. However, judging by your comment, it sure sounds like you have some sort of deep rooted emotional issue with your smoking addiction. Hope you can get a handle on it. Take care.

[@neilangus4401]

It's a pity Ian's vocals are failing him The vocal ailment has dogged him for years

[@TheHunter55182]

That's called getting old...

[@rustbust2]

The older Ian Anderson gets the smaller his acoustic guitar seems to get. Weird.

[@FAZOOO]

the band sounds great ,shame about ians voice troubles though

[@PolyesterMoustache]

did you really have to say that?

[@fernandoesparza8344]

Dice que Mike jagger está muy viejo y sigue brincando y rockcanrroleando

[@luciemelanie25]

The Younger of they songs ! Allez faire mieux !....

[@marklawrence7555]

Time to call it a day old man........

[@averymutt]

i must reiterate shakespeare live

[@ClaudioDrews]

Too old to sing... But the in the overall the band stills great.

[@craigthomas2455]

Why doesn't Ian do the obvious thing and just change the key of the song? Sadly, most singers have to do it at some point in their lives. The voice just can't do what it could when you're younger. Fact of life. The voice is still an instrument so tune it down to a key that can be sustained. Just a thought Ian !! You're still great though mate.

[@neilangus4401]

Yes Craig I agree Ian has too much credibility to be lost over a key change

[@Vardtan]

Unfortunately Ian lost his unique/ringing voice...

[@friedhelmtramp2470]

Den Auftritt hätte er sich ersparen sollen. Er tut mir nur Leid bei dieser Interpretation. Great song, aber wir werden alle älter.

[@helmuttdvm]

I loved seeing Tull back in the 70s, but Ian should realize that his singing days are behind him. Retire gracefully or find another vocalist.

[@amrahShsakaA]

What's wrong with the voice Ian? You can hardly sustain/hit the notes

[@TheRealredfield95]

Better than the Beatles and Justin Bieber

[@johndenman371]

Ian's voice is dreadful, such a shame
