[@moyabrennan56]

Listening quite often - you should be awarded by Ian - perfectly played all of Ian ' songs !!! Blimey, thousands thanks !

[@marblox9300]

I like how you are able to emulate Ians voice so closely. Great Job.!!!

[@georgerice1419]

it's good to see people who appreciate this music enough to cover it. well done

[@sinusiridum551]

Jethro Tull : 1970-1973 at their peak, especially live ! Magic, unique and amazing !

[@robertooyendyk3628]

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull have quite a unique sound and you delivered this beautiful song very well.

[@keeskloost6977]

Jethro Tull was in the early seventies my favorite band and Benefit my first bought l.p. This is simply awesome.

[@jajcasz6648]

You nailed Ians voice! Stunning!

[@tennwilcox8663]

Wow, with a touch of reverb on the vocals you really become Ian, Brilliant! and Bravo!😊 More please and thank you.

[@timpaull6124]

Wow you guys! That was really good!

[@SandyHaybron-hj8pz]

This is a absolute duplication of jethro Tull. Your voice is awesome and the flute is awesome. USA Arizona

[@georgeisaac9european387]

Simply too good.

[@rockygraziano2339]

It’s 2023 and I’m just now hearing and seeing this for the first time. You two are simply amazing!!!!! I’m a lifelong Ian and Tull fan. Have attended many many concerts since 1971. You have nailed Ian’s voice from the past. Congratulations are in order,

[@mariocavalcantinogueirajun6379]

Tenho 67 anos. Acompanho o Jethro desde a década de 1980. É a banda da minha vida! E poder assistir a esse vídeo, constatar que as novas gerações também curtem essa música única, me deixa muitíssimo feliz, e certo de que Ian Anderson já está na galeria dos imortais. É o Jethro Tull!

[@rowaddyvash]

Very nice version. Benefit was the second ever LP I bought (1972 I think) and Sossity was my favourite song on the album in those days - played it over and over. Been a Tull fan ever since then. Thanks for posting this video.

[@andrewguthrie2]

This is excellent.

[@davidzimmerli489]

Mind blowing. Musical perfection from both, and Paul has found out how to channel Ian Anderson's voice and delivery flawlessly. Simply amazing, and beautiful.....

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks so much, David. That's very kind of you to say!

[@davidzimmerli489]

Oh my God! I never expected to get a response from you, Marcie! I am thrilled! I've been an avid lover of music my entire life, and I was so happy to come across your video here. I was a teenager when Jethro Tull came upon the music scene, and I fell in live with their music, as well as Ian Anderson's entertaining theatrics immediately. You and Paul did the group more than justice! I still can't believe I'm corresponding with such a talented & gifted musician such as yourself! (I'm in the process of learning piano on my own, but I know I will never reach your level of musical expertise). Thank you for your unexpected reply here, and may God bless you and Paul in all that you do. Dave....

[@bernard6129]

Avid Tull fan. This is pretty good indeed. Enjoyed.

[@robcharles9036]

Utterly brilliant. Gave me goose bumps xx

[@zachospapazacharias1982]

EXCELLENT!!!

[@daviddametto4707]

Very nice! The soul of Jethro Tull!

[@drj602]

Very well done!! A real Masterpiece.

[@prithvirao4062]

I have watched both of you perform many Jethro Tull songs and I cannot create superlatives to express my amazement at the quality of your renditions. The vocals, guitar is spot on. The flute is amazing. Keep it up.

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Prithvi! We really appreciate it!

[@garyjoye4868]

Marcie, Paul. We appreciate you Usually covers don't approach the original. Paul's voice perfect tone. IMO. I saw Tull in 72' Listening in Columbia, South Carolina. I'm so happy I stumbled on to you

[@artdecco8617]

Awesome..........My best friend played the new JT. album in my bedroom with a Black light..........as a young teenager/ musician, I knew that I was instantly hearing something REALLY different.

[@lo.sweets]

She has fire in her eyes thank you woman whoever you are

[@moyabrennan56]

The finest Jethro Tull's cover ever done !!!!

[@oneofmany1087]

just the way I love to see it done, WITH HEART AND SOUL, Thank you so very kindly

[@paulhart3812]

Bravo Paul & Marcie. A beautiful job on a beautiful Tull song!!!

[@davidhaddon2854]

AMAZING.

[@martinvokroj3860]

Absolutly perfect. Many greetings from Czech republic Jethro fans!

[@arnoldwohler]

I can listen to it over and over again. It's so nice!

[@walternapolitan6194]

Excellent music, brilliantly covered!

[@tommy..980]

Huge Tull fan and you did a most excellent job on one of my favorites 👏👏👏

[@sarabavtar]

This is simply brilliant....

[@sanjaytamta1106]

Lovely! I never compare covers to originals because it's important to recognize effort and talent independently....and therefore I applaud your rendition, effort, and execution!

[@stevenhaywood6027]

Sanjay Tamta ,well said, sir! An excellent acoustic rendition! sttgaegoaktd

[@daniegrove5658]

You do this so well ...👍👍👍

[@cygnus53]

I could listen to you guys all day

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thank you all, for your kind comments!

[@nomaboard4060]

Hey Marcie Nice to meet you Sat. WOW you are right I would not have recognized Paul if he knocked me over! Can't believe I missed this performance. I was on the Empty Sea mailing list around this time. Love that studio.

[@Diego_Borges]

It has been 2 years since I first saw this video! Your "love" on my comment made me come back. Thanks!

[@poissonpuerile8897]

Stunning!

[@robertobaylac]

No es facil hacer un cover de esta hermosa cancion,y lo hacen exelente, feliciaciones y viva Jethro por siempre

[@robinwasser2352]

those progressions are just great.

[@johnconnolly3635]

Excellent job,

[@locomotivebreath2831]

Would love to see you do Jack-a_lynn!!

[@garyjoye4868]

Marcie!

[@guacamolekid3899]

FAntastic! really great version of a classic song. Some really intricate guitar picking.

[@robertosborne451]

Great cover guys.

[@vinny2976]

Always one of my favorites. I've been to a couple of Tull concerts. Paul and Marcie are truly gifted; it's as if they've channeled Ian Anderson. You can close your eyes and it's like being at a Jethro Tull concert. One of the best covers of an artist, period!

[@mariocavalcantinogueirajun6379]

Parabéns pelo bom gosto e competência!

[@luisreyguerrero6511]

Buen cantante, le llega mucho a la voz de Ian!

[@natasha113]

Beautifly delivered.

[@marcelotull]

Perfect so excelent song! Paul and Marcie WOW!!!

[@nicholaswood741]

A fantastic cover. I'd love to see you in concert...

[@nicholaswood741]

Beautiful flute playing...just mesmerising to watch ...

[@lo.sweets]

Oh wow

[@tomisonvene5567]

Well done. One of the best songs ever.

[@carlorosso1350]

Close your eyes...Ian Anderson singin'!

[@kennethparson3366]

Damn! This is great!

[@longgrayline8055]

That is beyond exceptional. I hear a young Ian Anderson. I have no doubt Ian thinks very highly of this video if he has seen it. Well done!

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks so much for your kind comments!

[@jeffmilligan7030]

Great cover!

[@jimdavis9084]

Bravo so good

[@TullesP]

always been 1 of my JTull favorites, great cover!! cheers

[@BWGuitman1]

Thank you for reminding me, with your incredible rendition, just how truly great a song this really is. Unfortunately, now I can't get it out of my head. I guess that's not such a bad thing. Thanks again.

[@hhpoa]

A great cover of the fantastic Jethro Tull.

[@fermarloe]

Ouau. Impressive cover! Gratulations❤

[@martinvokroj3860]

Absolutle perfect! Congratulations! Martin Vokroj from Czech republic!

[@laiqrauf6206]

Greetings from Pakistan and an old Tullie .! You guys make a good team for JT cover songs. Sossoti is one of Tulls not so common song. Anderson has probably never done it live. Keep it up. Would like to hear more of such songs which are rarely heard. Would love to have guys do Journeyman, one of my favourites.

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks for your kind comment. "Journeyman" is a great song, but that signature bass line would be sorely lacking in any rendition of it we'd perform. 🙂

[@jajcasz6648]

JT played Sossity (in medley with Reasons For Waiting), during Benefit tour. I ain't sure about later years though.

[@philgallagher7090]

Wow! So great!

[@80thtasties85]

one of my jt favourites! that slight vocal efx makes it perfect! lovely flute!

[@geferris83]

very nice

[@lowdown4651]

Benefit is one of my favorite Tull albums , well done I really like it few can play Tull y'all did good.

[@mickvetrano4116]

Beautiful. Even love the head motions as if the music guides you to move like Ian. Impossible musician to cover but you two have done it !!!

[@drj602]

“Impossible musician to cover” 😆👏Love it!

[@DickusCopernicus]

Classic Tull. In truth it has been bettered. Terrific rendition.

[@robertobaylac]

Muy buena version !!!!! Saludos desde Argentina

[@exnarcotiano]

Very good.

[@BMcCue7]

I literally applauded at the end of this video! Incredible!

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thank you, Buddy. That's very kind of you!

[@mconn2112]

Great version!

[@Luxinteriorcavatappi]

Wonderful! bravi

[@olafsrensen9578]

Pouls voyce are super great/full. He could stand in for Ian who unfortunally have great problems with his voyce. Super cover, more plase !!!

[@paolog2853]

Bravissimi!

[@tommigi]

Very nice, well done.

[@Tull1996]

This is one of my favorite songs from Benefit....you guys do a really admirable job here....have watched a number of your videos...there are a number where you guys are really "on"....some of the best "Tull Tributes" I've seen.

[@marcieforrest6658]

Tull1996 thanks so much for your comment. Much appreciated!

[@gregdemos9240]

Superb

[@rabdanely]

❤💚❤

[@dennisg1241]

Great job.. guitar, flute and vocals

[@btlocher]

Wish I lived in Seattle, just to see you both perform. Amazing!!!!

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thank you, Bill!

[@marcieforrest6658]

Thanks so much for your kind comments, Bill. Much appreciated!

[@land7776]

another great one.. that is a very difficult song to do.. that you took it on and did such a marvelous job. I would like to see you live if you're still performing when this Covid mess is over..

[@MrZepZep62]

Very good Cover!!!

[@leonardodaria7370]

Cool🎉

[@00100049]

GREAT ! ! EXCELENT ! THANK U V. MUCH !

[@classicjazz244]

Wow, that's a pretty good rendition and your voice even sounds very close. Sossity was always one of my favourites, although uncle Jethro has written some great songs and music over the years. We always thought of him as the family musical genius.

[@Diego_Borges]

Love it !!!!!!!!!!! Love it! :D

[@diogogiglio]

Superb. 👏👏👏

[@marcillioficino4663]

Well done.

[@washington3763]

He sounds just like Ian Anderson who I`ve seen live with Tull. Missed a chance to see him solo- DAMN! Her flute is a little more sanitized than Anderson but she plays perfectly. Plus I think she`s cute.

[@rodneyroyce547]

Awesome Job !! !

[@00100049]

WONDERFUL COVER ! CONGRATULATION ! YOUR VOICE IS VERY CLOSE TO IAN ANDERSON ! THUMBS UP ! !

[@michaelfelton6074]

You both are amazing! Is it possible for you to do some more Tull as I have worn out the ones on you tube.

[@marcieforrest6658]

Of course! Join us this Saturday for an online performance! kzbin.infoeGIG3-2Z_pw?feature=share

[@mikelewis9340]

Wished ian anderson sing that good now.

[@thedarkone29au]

Wow, great rendition of this beautiful song. Given Ian's voice is not what what it was, it's wonderful to hear this, the way it should be sung.

[@norcoauctions]

Awesome Paul. Awesome Marcie. Keep the legend going. First rate. It is time for Paul to headline Jethro Tull and yes replace Ian. To continue , Ian needs to pass the torch to Paul. Would love to see you live. Please tell me when and where. I am in southern Cal and my daughter and I used to do the same thing but at the local Jethro Tull concerts in the parking lots. Canadians call it busking. Thank you, great job

[@NuntiusLegis]

A good performer, but Ian Anderson is way more than that - ingenious composer, arranger, writer - and can't be replaced.

[@johnthonig8832]

Ja Geil

[@lunatic7700]

tolles lied, schwehr zu spielen.Bravi

[@salvatorelococo1722]

Brava , lui sembra lan anderson. Complimenti veramente bravo
