Jethro Tull - With You There To Help Me - 2nd version (1970)

Jethro Tull, the only internationally successful progressive rock band, in whose music the flute plays a leading role, live on 15.08.1970 at the Beat Club!
Jethro Tull -- the British rock group with Scottish front man and flute player Ian Anderson. Best known for his tendency to stand on one leg while playing concerts, Anderson is also the man who introduced a classic instrument to rock music: the flute - especially the western concert flute. The song "With You There To Help Me" was released on the third Jethro Tull album "Benefit" in the spring of 1970. At that time the group had already moved from their rhythm & blues roots to progressive rock with Celtic music influences. And during the 70s and 80s Jethro Tull even turned from folk rock to a more hard rock orientated music style.

[@stephenpogen1035]

The greatest band that ever walked the planet. I saw them live 26 times starting in 1969. Full of music

[@gustavoautran]

probably one of the best bands ever. certainly the most fantastic multi-skilled front-man of all times.

[@windyhead7960]

His songwriting aside, lyrically he's simply the William Blake of rock.

[@moonfaze]

Fifty years later, I'm still enthralled.

Simply a phenomenal song & album loved Ian & the Boys of Jethro Tull, good ole days long gone by that’s all I know..✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️😢

1970 was Tull's greatest Music "Benefit" and songs from" Living in the Past" Were masterpieces This line up was Tull's greatest chemistry of player's .Cornick Bunker left soon after this Concert.very sad day for myself 15 yr old then 68 now

[@nemyz7421]

I fully agree with your comment. Two magnificent albums. This was in my opinion the best formation of Jethro Tull.

[@sinusiridum551]

​@@nemyz7421anche la formazione degli anni 1971-1973 era fantastica....Anderson, Barre,Hammond,Barlow,Evans...dal vivo erano strepitosi...ricordo 3 concerti...Milano 1971,Varese 1972,Roma 1973...indimenticabili !!!!

The greatest band ever…. In my humble opinion. Ian Anderson is a genius with every band member adding to the music and performance. To me.. pink floyd and led zep always come to peoples minds when we think of rock bands… but for sheer variety of genders…TULL rule
