Man could they play! This kind of musicianship is gone now. These guys were virtuosos.

One of the best bands to see in concert. I saw them in the early 70’s several times. Ian Anderson is a genius.

Jethro Tull are a British progressive rock band formed in 1967. The group’s founder Ian Anderson plays flute & acoustic guitar & is the lead singer & quite a showman. They've had a lot of different members over the years. They had a lot of great songs such as "Thick As A Brick", "Aqualung", "Living In The Past", "Songs From The Wood", "A New Day Yesterday", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Sweet Dream", "Life’s A Long Song" etc.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Added them to our list.

[@ba-gg6jo]

The Mouse Police Never Sleep and Heavy Horses are two of my favourites besides all those you mentioned. Saw them a number of times starting in the early 70s. Always a great evening out.

[@motodork]

Jethro Tull IS a band…

[@jailaye6929]

Aqualung (the album) with the song "Locomotive Breath" was released in 1971 on Reprise Records (Warner).

[@daviddragavon7555]

Well said Dag!

[@Mottleydude1]

The name of the group was Jethro Tull. They named the band after the 18th century British Agriculturalist who revolutionized agriculture by inventing the first seed drill. The lead singer, flutist and song writer, was Ian Anderson. They were very well known for their progressive rock, theatrical shows and light shows. I saw them in the late 70’s when I high school age. They were a great show.

[@RichFrye]

Tull, especially frontman Ian.... are one of the best live rock and roll acts ever.... and always with tongue planted firmly in cheek

[@bobmessier5215]

Started out in the 60's and still performing strong more than 50 years later in 2023. Jethro Tull is the name of the band. The singer/songwriter and flute player is Ian Anderson.

[@markwarren7116]

A lot of people think HIS name is Jethro Tull, but his name is Ian Anderson. Jethro Tull is the group’s name. I might be wrong but I think Ian Anderson did a part in the album Jesus Christ Superstar. I might be wrong.

[@nycbigbear]

If no one made it totally clear in the comments, Jethro Tull isn't a person - it's the name of the band. They were named by their history major agent after an eighteenth century English agricultural pioneer who invented the seed drill, for no reason.

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

This was an encore. The song Locomotive breath morphed into "Land of Hope and Glory" (when he launched the balloon into the audience, and then finished by morphing into the last verse of another Tull song "Back Door Angels" which was probably sung before Locomotive breath and this verse would probably have been a reprive of that song. Jethro Tull started in 1968 and Ian Anderson is still writing albums and touring with his band to this day. They are still a staple of the many classic rock radio channels, and there are hundreds of classic Tull songs to choose from. Their live shows are legendary for their showmanship, musicianship, and length. Since 1971 I have seen them over 35 times and have never been disappointed. Rock on.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks for the information.

[@johncooper5124]

Remembering how they once portrayed themselves as the Roadies during the final stage set-up. With increasingly outlandish movements the audience realized it was them; they bowed arm-in-arm to a standing ovation. They then played a 45-minute version of Thick As A Brick. And when Anderson said "For our second song"' the crowd erupted for the third time.

[@vicprovost2561]

Saw him around a dozen times, the best times both in Springfield in the early/mid 70s, once in the front row just feet from Ian and Martin, they were extraordinary in those 70s shows, when I heard Stand Up and Benefit I knew they were great, Aqualung made them stars. Tull Forever!

[@markdraine3571]

Wow .Quite a fan .I saw the tour with the spacesuits in KC in late 80..The only other time was as a special guest when The Who played Boulder in 82. It was kind of a understated, acoustic set .

[@robertcoates6800]

A little trivia, the guy playing the flute and singing, Ian Anderson's daughter is married to Andrew Lincoln, the guy that played Rick on The Walking Dead.

[@musicluvr70]

Another favorite of Jethro Tull is "Aqualung". Interesting trivia fact, Ian Anderson the lead singer and self taught flutist, was originally a guitar player, but when another guitar player was hired and he was better than Ian, he decided that maybe he should play another instrument. He went to a pawn shop to trade in his guitar and find another instrument. The only other instrument he could afford was the flute, and the rest as they say, is history.

[@RedRuffinsore]

He was a self-taught flautist. When his daughter learned the flute, she told him he was doing it all wrong. He re-learned how to play the right way.

[@davidkettell6236]

[@billyb8910]

In 1973-1974 in the space of a few months Tull released three studio albums, Living in the Past, Aqualung and Thick as a Brick (5 LPs in Total). After you hear them all, listen to A Passion Play. That period was one of Tull's best periods.

[@williamraptosh3409]

Lulu, WOW were you getting into it. Jethro Tull is the name of the band. Jethro Tull was a 17th century farmer and inventor of the Seed Drill. It modernized farming. Ian Anderson is the leader/flutist/acoustic guitar of The band Jethro Tull.

[@lawyeredup]

Best concerts I ever saw were Jethro Tull, 3 times in the early 1970s. I saw the Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and War Child tours. Unbelievable. The venues were relatively small (2 at 7000 attendees and 1 at the old Boston Garden).

[@fw1421]

I too saw the Aqualung ,Thick as a Brick and Passion Play tours. Some of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I just worship Ian Anderson.

[@julianbarber4708]

For awhile, back in the 70's, Jethro Tull were the biggest band in the world, especially in the States. The name of the singer/flautist is Ian Anderson, even though the group is called Jethro Tull.

[@alrifr5786]

Ian is a great story teller. His lyrics tend to be loaded with symbolism.

[@mikewieggers6337]

Ian is a classic bard.

[@Qkano]

Jethro Tull - buried at Lower Basildon - (1674-1741) was an agriculturalist renowned for the invention of a seed drill. He gave the name to the band but otherwise gave nothing else to the music.

[@neshobanakni]

One of Anderson's fingers on his right hand is malformed. He had to learn to play differently from other people - And he did it while in the rock band. One of my favorite songs is their "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day."

[@JamesJoy-yc8vs]

I've heard it's his pinky-finger; he can't do what classical flautists do, which is like, press on that last key on the foot-piece. Apparently it only makes a difference when playing in D# or something like that, but classically-trained flautists notice immediately

[@michaelelliott5760]

10:30 Jethro Tull is the name of the group. Ian Anderson is the name of the singer/showman front man. You must listen to Aqualung!❤😊❤

Jethro Tull - the man - was actually a specialist and inventor in plant breeding that invented the Seed Drilling Machine in England in the 17th century

[@zztij]

When I went to concerts back in the 70's, San Francisco Bay Area. There was always big beach balls or big balloons bouncing around the crowd. I still go to concerts but haven't seen such in decades.?!

[@JamesJoy-yc8vs]

The Balloons became a big *BIG* thing to look forward to, when seeing Tull. As the video showed, during the encore instrumental Ian Anderson - the crazy-eyed flute guy - would throw these big balloons out into the audience (sometimes they even had that tour's logo printed on them, collector's items now!). And then, when there were 3-4 balloons bouncing around and the spotlights were illuminating them, *then* they'd start their Big Ending Crescendo. And it was like we, in the audience, were members of the band. Our instrument was the Balloons! Seeing Jethro Tull live is, truly, a unique experience!

[@jimcrawford3221]

Takes me back to my youth! (yew t) The late 60s and early 70s was such a great time for music. For that time the lyrics were rather suggestive and that didn't fare well for AM radio of the day. Aqualung and Cross-eyed Mary were always my 2 favs. :-)

[@ricenglish4556]

Flautist, singer and Acoustic guitar player, Ian Anderson and lead guitarist, Martin Barre, were the mainstays of the band and were together for over 40 years. Others came and went, but Ian and Martin were always there producing that inimitable Tull sound. My all-time favorite band. A Tull concert back in the 70's was an experience.

I seen Jethro Tull about 10 times in concert and they are outstanding performers, and Ian Anderson is one of Rock's most animated and talented front men. He composes all of the music and is a multi-instrumentalist. I suggest anything from Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood" Album!

It's called showmanship. That's how it was in the 70's. The Tubes, Kiss, Tull, and every other group I saw put on a show. The granddaughter is a doll. The mother is a mother.

[@bryanirvine6169]

There is a great interview with Ian Anderson on the 25th anniversary re-release of Aqualung regarding this song. He could not get the rest of the band to understand what he was looking for on this song, so he ended up having to have each one of them lay down their parts individually, and none of them knew what the end product would sound like, accept him, until it was mixed and played for them. It was contrived on the spot, but ended up being such a great live song.

[@JamesJoy-yc8vs]

Apparently, when they were starting out they'd appear under different names (the Blades, the Smash, etc.) to fool venues into booking them again, thinking they were a different band. "Jethro Tull" was the name they were performing as when a record exec signed them. Then their first (and only) single with that label was attributed to "Jethro *TOE* "! They quickly signed with Chrysalis Records instead, and surviving copies of that *first* record are now priceless!

[@dunringill1747]

You are going to want to react to as much Jethro Tull as possible - both studio and live versions. With Tull, you won't find many popular songs. Instead you will find hidden gem after hidden gem on so many masterpiece albums. Frontman Ian Anderson is a multi-Instrumentalist and a self taught genius who writes the music. He also surrounds himself with incredible talent. Anderson is also arguably rocks finest rock live show frontman in history. He brings theatrics, wit, athleticism, intelligence, and a lot of tongue-in-cheek spice to his live performances. I've seen Tull 26 times in concert and that was not nearly enough. Try their live version of "Thick As A Brick" (1977, London) next. I would say the 1978 Madison Square Garden version, but that one often gets copyright struck on YT. The studio version is their entire 5th album (1972 release) but this live version has been edited down for time. Ian is suffering from a cold in this performance but you wouldn't know it unless you are used to seeing him healthy and more energetic.

[@webbtrekker534]

The band was name for a 17/18th century British agriculturist. 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.

My buddy and I snuck around to the open back door, stuck our heads in and a guy made a shush with his finger and motioned us over to an small area where we could see the side of the stage. HOLY CRAP ! ! ! Ian Anderson was a Mad Man in the best possible way. He was flyin', jumpin' around and just smokin' that flute. The whole band was just rockin' - we couldn't believe our eyes. We stayed tell we felt we were over staying our welcome - about an half hour. We thanked the guy for letting us watch.

Jethro Tull invented the seed drill. The big balloons come out at the last song of the show. When Ian took over the keyboard, David & John were imitating Ian's antics.

Seen Jethro Tull 3 times live. Amazing shows, and a mix of progressive jazz rock folk stew. The whole band often gets overshadowed by wonderful frontman Ian Anderson, but tight in their own right. Check out "My God" "Aqualung" and "Skating Away".
