Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

After 50+ years this is still one of my favorite guitar solos of all time.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

I get you, they don't have to be flashy, you have to FEEL it ❤

[@armandogarza6181]

I couldn't get enough of this album Stand Up and also Benefit. That was Martin Barre's first work with Jethro Tull, great guitarist.

[@chucknonverbal]

I played it nonstop (along with Neil Young's After the Gold Rush) the entire year of 1970.

[@charliediottaviano3995]

Damn shame Martin isn't mentioned with the likes of Page, Clapton, Blackmore and Beck. That solo justifies that a conversation needs to be had about that

[@lawrencesmith6536]

I'll take early Tull songs any time. The guitar work here is some of the very best ever laid down

[@MissAstorDancer]

This is my personal fave JT album. I've been through 2 copies on vinyl, plus also on CD and cassette!!! EVERY SINGLE SONG on this album is fire

[@robertjewell9727]

I have the original LP and when it's opened the band actually stands up from their huddled sitting positions on the cover.

[@CharCanuck14]

My favourite too!

[@mattjohn4731]

Stand Up! Yeah I love it, having been in my dad's collection in my 70s childhood. This song's apparently the genesis of Hotel California. The Eagles having toured with Jethro Tull prior to the smash hit.

[@tedcole9936]

@@robertjewell9727yeah, me too.. most ‘kids’ don’t know what the LP era was like… CDs killed cover art, and now there’s nothing you can see and touch.

[@MissAstorDancer]

@@robertjewell9727 Same here! I still remember vividly the first time the album was played for me, and, of course, checking out the cool cover!!! This amazing album was released just days after my 16th Birthday, and after the MOON LANDING! 🥰✌

[@patrickminer5926]

It's really fun watching fresh reactions to jethro tull I was 16 when this came out me and my hippie stoner friends Would play stand up over and over!!

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

Supposedly this chord progression was the inspiration for Hotel California. Ian Anderson didn't care. Not only is this a beautiful song musically, but the lyrics are a fantastic exposition of how to look at life. One of Tull's best. And the wa-wa solos....

[@corawheeler9355]

There's a video over-laying the two songs and showing the similarities kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJa3apqBrbKkm8ksi=RIN3nQ1pu1reLNj2

[@TML0677]

Yes it is basically Hotel California in verses, how many years before Hotel Calofornia. Only the chorus is added in Hotel California.

[@IDTV66]

The Eagles supported Tull in their early years

[@patrickdoake6022]

One of my favorite tull tracks lyrics so meaningful especially as i age.

[@robertlear2712]

This is the best Tull album in my view. Every song is great. I saw them perform most of the songs in concert in 1969. I was stunned.

[@jornspirit]

...this is a banger indeed... liking this so much, you would absolutely adore their double album 'Living in the Past' (3 studio sides, 1 live side) - the studio material on this one is out of this world, and to my opinion holds up easily with this song - very underrated jewel from their early years... it came out only in 1972, and repeated a few good songs from earlier albums, which might be the reason, why no one talks about it these days... here some highlights of it: "Living in the Past", "Driving Song", "Sweet Dream", "The Witch's Promise", "Teacher", "Wond'ring Again", "Life Is a Long Song", "Up the 'Pool", "Dr. Bogenbroom", "From Later" - enjoy! 😎

[@patrickminer5926]

This song was on there record Stand Up there second album So many great songs on this.

[@tommy8058]

For many it is the definitive Jethro Tull album because it shows the many different faces of Tull.😊

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

Another great ballad on this album is Look Into the Sun, one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs ever written, about a missed opportunity for love. Check it out. And on Benefit, Nothing to See is a real banger of emotion of a failed relationship, and was Martin Barre's favorite Tull song. Also on Benefit, Anderson's acoustic guitar masterpiece, Sossity, You're a Woman, about a failed May-December romance, the album closer. Another interesting one on Benefit is For Michael Collins, Jeffrey, and Me, a philosophical song about the Moon landing and its meaning to the astronauts and the human race. Michael Collins was the astronaut who remained in the command module while the other 2 landed on the Moon.

[@mattjohn4731]

I saw Jethro Tull in like '99, celebrating 30 years of the Stand Up album. Great concert 🪈🎸

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Such a nice song by Jethro Tull & a superb musician!👍💜☮️💜

[@Prone2Thrill]

Stand Up album is so underrated. Jethro Tull is just ONE of THOSE bands we can't live without. UNIQUE!!!

[@randydoak6638]

Hell yeah!. I saw them play in ‘69, or maybe it was ‘70. The early Tull rules.

[@garybelenke4370]

It is that great!

[@nyrocks5580]

This whole album is absolutely amazing, especially the bonus tracks CD version.

[@melissakhalar1842]

Love Jethro Tull and Ian especially so. ❤

[@anthonyblakely399]

Jethro Tull is one of my all-time favorite Rock bands!!! Seen the band in concert once in L.A. 1977. I request "God" It is FIRE!!!!!!

[@chucknonverbal]

I love how much you got into this one. I played this over and over in my headphones in 1971. Still love it. Try "Look into the Sun" next.

[@itsjustmeMaryAnn]

Love the guitar 🎸

[@williambaldridge1203]

Your analysis of the lyrics I think was spot on. Ian anderson is a great poet and philosopher. That is a great way to look at life to don't get complacent.Don't get yourself Down. You work hard to get where you're at and you're on the top right now, but faster than you got there. You can easily go down , so to the rest of, Maybe the band, who were leaving Shortly. you go your way, and I'll go mine, and Best of luck to what you find, but I've got to climb my mountain.You go climb yours. And we can see where ian has gone, and he wasn't even near his peak. now he's legendary. So is Martin.The two of them together were as great as any team in rock history.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

Goosebumping music. Beautiful stuff ❤

[@ok-qt4kr]

Saw them in '75...it was rather Gooooddd...

[@Ferretbomber]

Great song. Alledgedly 'Hotel California' takes a lot of influence from this song. Thanks as always for the reaction.

[@fredjohns1869]

The best thing about their catalog is it's still growing! The album 'Roots to Branches' from quite a ways down the road! A journey no doubt. Thanks for your excellent reactions!

[@nyrocks5580]

Roots to Branches was an excellent effort.

[@Sorlendingen82]

Love Jethro Tull saw them live here in Norway some years ago, excellent concert:) Wount you give Jethro Tull - Acres Wild a try, a little something something for the Ladys.

[@brotherbob3569]

Great tune. Teacher is another one from early Tull you'll like.

[@kentclark6420]

This one from Stand Up is one of my favorites, and 'Sossity, You're a Woman' from 'Benefit' is my favorite.

[@sixbladeknife44]

The first album of a string of three amazing albums…”Stand Up”, “Benefit” and “Aqualung”. I was a Jethro Tull fan when I was younger, but they’re one of those bands that has meant more and more to me as time has passed. Once in a lifetime band, great analysis Shawn, this one really does hit hard.

[@jeanpierrebutel6794]

all album is a masterpiece

[@tommy8058]

Best 6/8 Rock Song I've ever heard.🙂👍

[@samuelmregister]

Great choice! The whole album is fire!

[@ok-qt4kr]

If you Dig this one check out their Live Performance : "Live at the Isle of Wight" (1970) . Shows out ... Doesn't disappoint .

[@rodjohnson2632]

I'm with you Shawn, I always wished this song went on for a few more minutes, ever since I first heard it in the early 70's.

[@robertjewell9727]

There's an amusing controversy about this song which some folks believe the Eagles stole the chord structure to write Hotel California although Anserson himself said the pace and subject matters of the rwo songs is quite different.

[@tedcole9936]

Yes, I definitely hear that. Lyrics here are far superior, however… ! Seriously, this is a fabulous song, and as noted, from a great album.

[@acehays]

Yeah this is the Tull period I like best, probably Benefit, then this, then aqualung, This was, Thick etc.

[@librarylady13]

😍😍😍

[@pierretoureille7359]

Great song! I'd take this over Thick As A Brick any day

[@bluesrock1]

Sound familiar? Think Hotel California. Ian Anderson could have sued The Eagles for music publishing rights over that song.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Stand Up was the first JT album I ever heard. Just got an original copy with them Standing Up when you open the gatefold album at yardsale. Wind Up off the Aqualung album is great. My Sunday Feeling is another great one. Or just review any of their first 5 lp's. Can't go wrong with early Tull.

[@procopiusaugustus6231]

I’m surprised you got one at a yard sale. Still have mine I bought when it came out. My kids will have to deal with it after I’m gone.

[@plantfeeder6677]

​@@procopiusaugustus6231you can't believe what I've found over the years at yardsales. Used to be able to get em for $1 but now they're anywhere from $2-$5. Paid $3 for it and also bought Tres Hombres, LZ IV, Surrealistic Pillow along with the JT lp. They're getting a lot harder to find though.

[@plantfeeder6677]

​@@procopiusaugustus6231my reply to you seems to have been removed which has happened more than once on this channel.

[@procopiusaugustus6231]

@@plantfeeder6677 Me too. I wonder what the problem could be with music comments?

[@davidmckenzie420]

Great early Tull.

[@intothesunset3]

♥♥♥

[@mattjohn4731]

I recently heard Ian always regretted the name Jethro Tull. It was randomly assigned by their manager or something like that

[@tullfan2560]

I heard it was a name that just stuck. When they started out, their promoter was giving them a different name before every gig and then the name Jethro Tull came along which they went with.

[@robertlear2712]

All songs from this album are great. Recommend “Nothing is Easy”

[@stephenpresley5772]

Great song and reaction

[@thedocofrock1890]

now you're talking - i've been hoping you would get to something from TULL'S ' stand up album. this and the albums 'benefit' and 'aqualung' are my 3 favorites. saw them 3 times in their heyday between '71 and '75. one word : outstanding. this is the first album that amazing guitarist martin barre played on with them. he had his own distinctive sound - imitated no one. saw him 2 years ago with his band and the first half of the show was a tribute and history of TULL. at 75 he could still shred with the best of them. try a song called 'inside ' from the benefit album. more greatness from ian and the boys : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImqf4p-pqt2epI

[@michaelrichards5431]

I also saw them 3 times in that period - were you at Kilburn Gaumont 26/02/1971 ?- began with My God - all the lights were out - they crept on and made everyone jump with full volume - missed the last train and had to sleep in freezing shop doorway until 6am. Always rated This Was Stand Up, Benefit and Aqualung above most other albums. This solo is not just brilliant virtuosity its a perfect length, and really knits together the whole song - it actually goes somewhere not just meandering for its own sake. Try also Michael Chapman - First Leaf of Autumn same era for beautiful guitar

[@BrianR.]

Welcome to the hotel California. Eagles ripped this song off, when they were opening for Tull at this time.

[@donsmith3474]

Can you believe they are not in the rock HOF?

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

Yes.... the rock n roll hall of fame is a total joke. So many non-rock artists in there whilst total rock legends remain unrecognised.

[@sciwiz57]

The Eagles completely ripped off Tull with this song in Hotel California!!!!!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

There's much better stuff on this album; BOUREE', NOTHING IS EASY, FAT MAN, LOOK INTO THE SUN ... On this album they remade themselves, with Martin Barre on lead guitar.

[@johnshannon9656]

This is not good Tull.

[@nyrocks5580]

What Tull do you prefer?

[@arcanomelk]

This is the same song that HOTEL CALIFORNIA (Eagles) Hotel California is LATER...(plagio???) Sorry for my english...
