Jethro Tull was one of those bands just loaded with musical talent. There are videos of them switching instruments and playing baroque-era instruments. Most of them never got the recognition that they deserved because they were all overshadowed by the genius of Ian Anderson. He was (and still IS) a phenomenal musician that could play numerous instruments (all self-taught). His lyrics were always thought-provoking, and his comedic genius on-stage was just what was needed when he was performing. There will never be another like him. He is in his 70s now and still performing! There are several fascinating interviews on KZbin of him talking about his music and Jethro Tull…highly recommended! Others have suggested other songs/performances you should watch-Aqualung; Locomotive Breath; Thick as a Brick…

Jethro Tull was formed in the UK by Ian Anderson (vocals, guitar & flute) in the 1960's and their debut album was released in 1968 ('This was') ... Anderson is the only original member left... Martin Barre (guitars) was the longest serving member of Jethro Tull, but the underrated guitarist and Ian Anderson parted company by 2012. Ian Anderson recently reformed Jethro Tull w/ new members and released 2 recent albums - 'The Zealot Gene' (2022) and 'RokFlote' (2023). Jethro Tull became a phenomenon in the 70's after the success of their 4th album 'Aqualung' in 1971... and 'Thick as a brick' in 1972... They released a string of gold selling records in the 70's, including 'Minstrel in the Gallery' (1975) and 'Stormwatch' (1979)... Their blend of heavy rock, blues and folk music was a unique approach to this day. Despite their 70's heyday... Jethro Tull encountered changing members throughout their career. The 80's brought about their decline initially, but the scored a gold selling record in 1987 - 'Crest of a Knave'... It infamously won a Grammy Award for 'Best Metal Record' in 1989, beating out favorites Metallica (The Grammy Awards were mocked endlessly for that one because Jethro Tull were not a metal band and did not expect to win the award!) Sadly, the 90's decade followed by the 2000's showed little fanfare for new music from Jethro Tull... the band stopped releasing new music after 2003 and split up by 2012 as a 'Legacy' band... However, Ian Anderson reformed Jethro Tull in 2017 (?) and their new records have actually charted worldwide. Classic Jethro Tull songs - 'Aqualung' ... 'Locomotive breath' ... 'Thick as a brick, Pt. 1' ... 'A song for Jeffrey'...

Excellent reaction! Jethro Tull are absolutely amazing, everyone of them is a top-tier musician. Their 70s catalog is epic, "Aqualung" is probably their most famous song from that area, that would be a great reaction as there is an amazing live video of it on KZbin from 1980. They had three consecutive albums in the late 70s that were their "Folk Rock" albums, "Songs from the Wood", "Heavy Horses" and "Storm Watch". All three are great and the live videos from that area will blow your mind (entire concerts from 1977 & 1978 are really worth watching), they used some medieval musical instruments during that era as well. They also influenced a ton of rock and Metal bands, especially Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull are one of the greats.

Yay! I love it when young people discover a band that I've loved for 45 years. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe Ian Anderson. I don't think there's enough hyperbole to describe Ian Anderson. He's not just an amazing performer, singer, and flutist...Etc. He is a superlative composer and lyricist. As you dig deeper and deeper into their music, don't forget to read his lyrics. His lyrics are poetry.

Ian Anderson's flute solos in concert have always been improv masterpieces - more so some time after this performance, after he had had some formal training (prompted by his daughter learning flute in school and telling him his fingering was all wrong). Somewhere out there is a video of sometime in the last few years when he gave a talk with performances to a group of music students from his favorite flute shop in London, where he made several points about the importance of improvisation in music.

I was privileged to witness a Jethro Tull concert in Berlin Germany. They started on a dark stage with him playing a flute with a spotlight shining on him. Everyone was leaning forward mesmerized until with a burst of light and sound blew everyone away.

you have a good ear, Jethro Tull threw in a bar or so of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" which is a well known holiday tune. Loved the reaction. Lots of good JT flute and rock songs. "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" is one of the best flute tunes. "Minstrel in the Gallery" is great pre-metal rock plus flute, i think it is their hardest tune. But there are too many to count thhat are great. "Aqualungj" "Mother Goose" "Songs from the Wood" "Too Old to Rock and Roll" i could go on all day.

I saw Jethro Tull's first performance in the United States by chance. JT was third on a bill that was headlined by Blood, Sweat, and Tears. So, Jethro Tull opened the show. They totally schocked The Fillmore East crowd. Instant superstars. I saw them numerous times during their first couple of years and their shows were always spectacular. Loved your reaction.

My late Uncle was a classical flautist and he introduced me to Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull's music back in the late 1960s and Living in the Past was a Tull single I bought back then, always loved his music and have a few albums of his. My late uncle played in an orchestra and in folk, blues and jazz bands, we had him play along with us in the band I played in back in the early 70s and it really did bring another dimension to our music.

I had already been a Jethro Tull fan for many, many years - and quite familiar with the album version of this song… I used to practice playing drums along with it. When I finally saw this performance, I was really blown away at how extended the solo was, and Ian Anderson’s performance… “Full of surprises”, indeed!

Hi there, love your reactions, mainly because of your warm personality and lovely smile. Progressive Rock was the genre of music I grew up on from my teenage year. I am 67, it was mainly popular in the 70s but I still love it. My personal favourite bands (in order) were Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and Emerson Lake and Palmer. The whole point of Progressive Rock is that they were trying new styles of music, blending different genres and basically they made music any way they felt like. It was a very exciting time to live in. Albums would be published and the fans had no idea what to expect. If you have not reacted to the above bands (and I am sure others here will have suggestions too) I recommend them all as worth a look.

I went to a Tull concert at Portland's Memorial Coliseum, July 28, 1973 - 50 years ago! It was THE BEST concert I've ever been to. I recall them doing three complete albums, then they left the stage and the crowd went nuts stamping feet and holding bic lighters flames in the air and they returned for an encore, playing another entire album. They left again, and we repeated our side, and they came back for a second encore performance with the fifth full album of songs. 5 full albums. I tried to see if there were any reviews or set lists from that day. I could not confirm my 5 full albums story, but here is the setlist. that I found: 19 songs that I do remember. We all believed it was 5 full albums. 1. Thick as a Brick 2. Wond'ring Aloud 3. Crazed Institution 4. Conundrum(tour instrumental; features a drum solo) 5. To Cry You a Song 6. A New Day Yesterday(incl. flute solo; with 'Living in the Past' and 'Thick as a Brick' snippets) 7. Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Young to Die 8. Minstrel in the Gallery 9. Symphony no. 9 in D minor, op. 125-IV. Finale ("Ode to Joy") 10. My God(incl. 'Pop Goes the Weasel' snippet) 11. Cross-Eyed Mary 12. Aqualung 13. Guitar Solo 14. Wind-Up 15. Back-Door Angels(with guitar jam from 'Minstrel in the Gallery') 16. Wind-Up (reprise) 17. Locomotive Breath 18. The Dambusters March 19. Back-Door Angels (reprise) by setlist.fm

In an interview on one of the late shows Ian said when they started out, they would change the band name after each circuit because nobody would hire them again. When they started getting call backs, the band name was "Jethro Tull" and they kept it.

In the 80s, Ian Anderson, the lead creative of the band, took a break and started farming catfish in Scotland. He is now the largest provider of catfish in the world, and his music is just his hobby. He has over the course of the 2000s remastered just about his entire backlog and still puts out an album every few years, including one just last year. He was also recently in an episode of Norman Readus show where he tours exotic country on motorcycle. And finally, in 2002, Jethro Tull celebrated their official 50th anniversary.

When you listen to Jethro Tull you better be ready for an E Ticket Ride. Tull has a library of songs that will leave you speechless. In prolly late 1970 or into 1971, I was home ported at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Jethro Tull came to town and played at a little theater off of Waikiki. The show was sold out but my buddy and I worked our way around to a side door. We tried the door and it opened, there was a stage hand there who saw we were alone. He made a shush motion with his hand and he let us watch the show off stage left. Holy crap, we were 20 to 25 feet from the drum kit. I'll never forget that night. Ian Anderson is/was 100% stand on the gas. That guy and the band put on one incredible show.

so Ian taught himself how to play the flute as a teen. then when he was watching his daughter take lessons he discovered he'd been doing it wrong throughout his career, stopped & learned the proper fingering & went back on tour. he now plqys about a dozen instruments, a true musical Rennaisance man.

Ian Anderson is definitely known for his flute playing. If you want an amazing flute within a rock song, you need to check out the song Supper's Ready by Genesis. Peter Gabriel plays the flute in a few places. It is a long song, but it is done in 7 parts and the live performance is something to behold.
