Vocal Coach/ Flute Player Reacts to JETHRO TULL ‘Locomotive Breath’ ft. Music Analysis

In this video, I react for the first time to Jethro Tull performing "Locomotive Breath” live at Rockpop. In this video, I analyse Ian Anderson’s amazing performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. I LOVE that he plays the flute as well!

I'd suggest reacting to Moe Koffman playing flute on his jazz/rock fusion tune Curried Soul (1969) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2e6dH-FhruVq6M and to his slower but bluesy Swinging Shepherd Blues here with a big band sound kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZmQlaqPZr5lmsU and his jazzier take on Moe Koffman Plays Bach (1971) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavCkISehMt-e80 (Sorry, vinyl album sounds scratchy at first tune/movement).

[@storbokki371]

It's about time for another Jethro Tull reaction, isn't it? How about a live performance with more flute! He's much younger in this too. I guarantee you will love this. Jethro Tull - My God (Nothing Is Easy - Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4i2pp-bo7SImJI

[@Rhythmic1]

I don't know why people often recommend this song to KZbin reactioneers. It was one of their more popular ones for sure but not in anyway their best. It really doesn't feature his true abilities as a singer, flautist, musician, composer, band leader, performer and raconteur. Few bandleaders could draw in and captivate an audience like Ian Anderson with his funny stories and colorful tales. So Why not Dear God from the Isle of Wight festival? Or maybe Really Don't mind from Thick As A Brick? Maybe a happy upbeat song and masterpieces in their own right, One Brown Mouse or Skating Away (On the Thin Ice Of A New Day)? Or the title track from the album Heavy Horses? Almost anything off of Minstrel In The Gallery including the title track would not disappoint. The whole album is a masterpiece and they would often play it as well as Thick As A Brick in their entirety from beginning to end at some of their shows in the late 70's. That was really something to see and hear back then. The audience was spellbound. So I really don't get it. Not that it's a bad song. Ian Anderson doesn't write bad songs and on its own from almost any other band it would be great. But what a lackluster introduction for such an accomplished musician as yourself to one of the greatest rock bands of the late 20th century. Even though Ians not fully formed as a composer at this point I highly recommend Dear God from the Isle Of Wight concert in 1970. It's spectacular.

[@storbokki371]

@@Rhythmic1 No need to be critical of her choosing one of their more most popular songs as a first choice. Try keeping the energy positive so you don't spoil the listening experience. I find it helpful too if you link the KZbin site in your request making it easier for the reactor or vocal coach. That being said, I love the "Dear God from the Isle Of Wight" and have requested it myself. Be patient, grasshopper. There is so much music and so little time to react to it all.

[@omaramador4669]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Bravo, bravo 🎉🎉🎉. ❤️❤️❤️ Good reaction and good performance with the flute 🪈 I smiled and laughed seeing you so excited 😜😜🤪🤪😛😛🫠🫠🫠watching the video . Keep it up my elf woman

[@RicoCosta317]

Ian Anderson, Tull's front man, was not trained as a flutist but instead was self-taught. He became known for his flute in the context of rock. One of a kind and also a wonderful showman. You really must do more Tull.

[@jamessweet5341]

Ian is a very very good acoustic guitarist as well.

[@alhasse6576]

I heard in an interview a few years ago that Ian Anderson's daughter, who also became a flautist, informed him that his finger positions are incorrect. Since he was self-taught, that makes sense, but she showed him the correct positions and now uses both techniques in his playing.

[@markdraine3571]

Ya, and Ian was , refreshingly , one of the very few rockers that didn't get into dope of any kind. That is called being unaffected. by the behaviour of others.

[@Mr05Chuck]

I saw him in Spokane I around 2010. His flute playing is amazing. I think he has taken lessons since his early years. His voice is not as strong anymore.

[@tonypallotta5210]

In an interview, he was asked, why the flute? His answer was, because I couldn't play guitar like Eric Clapton.

[@captainhelium]

Side note, when Jethro Tull was slagged by metal bands and fans when they won a Grammy for Heavy Metal Ian Anderson responded with the comment that "A flute is a heavy, metal instrument".

[@JamesJoy-yc8vs]

It wasn't Ian, it was Chrysalis Records (I believe) who took out a full-page ad in Variety magazine the next day. Mostly white space, a close-up of a flute, and that quote (with the all-important comma!) When Metallica did win Best Metal Album, they specifically thanked Jethro Tull "...for not putting out an album this year." 😂

[@edwardcandland8740]

Nice analysis and quite entertaining. My one question is, how do you study the flute and never stumble onto Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson: flute)? I understand that your background is classical and Ian's playing is completely unconventional, but still!

[@manwithumbrella]

@@edwardcandland8740 Unconventional.but NOT unique, see my comment above.

[@greenfalcon11]

I saw that as a poster at a Tull Convention in the early 90s. Just a forearm and fist holding the flute and at the bottom "the flute is a heavy, metal instrument". Nearly bought it but I think I got bootleg live performance tapes (yes cassettes) and a T shirt instead.

[@crescentfreshbret]

Don’t forget that Tony Iommi, guitarist of Black Sabbath- arguably the band that started heavy metal was a member of Jethro Tull shortly before Sabbath was formed. Sure, it was only for two weeks, but still…

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

Jethro Tull was an 18th century agronomist and inventor of the seed-drill. Widely considered one of the fathers of modern farming.

[@sisternobody6658]

Ahhhh....so we finally after decades know who Jethro Tull is! Thank you for that. Let me go pull out my albums from the '70's.....

His name is Ian Anderson. The band is Jethro Tull, awesome band. Listen to Living In The Past. My brother taught himself the flute because of Ian Anderson and perfected it! He was a beautiful singer , my brother. Living in The Past was played at his funeral when he passed. He knew every Jethro Tull song by heart, sang them and played them on flute ❤❤❤

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

An excellent reaction by someone that enjoys music and is a musician too.

[@vicprovost2561]

Ian is an unreal frontman and multi-Instrumentalist who is mainly noted as the best and most outrageous flute player in rock but he rocks acoustic guitars, various other instruments and has extraordinary song writing skills. Jethro Tull from the late 60s through the early 80s is their classic period but did other fine albums even into the 21st century. Try Thick as a Brick, the live video is a condensed version of the album which is that title track, one 42 minute 'song' in 2 parts on the original vinyl. Master class music, a stew of Rock, Blues, Classical, Jazz, Prog, New Age and medieval influences, they were one of the best bands in that era in their prime. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Thick as a Brick? I concur. Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

[@martygrale]

@@erickvermeulen9734 my words but a whisper, your deafness, a shout

[@Alan_CFA]

He’s also funny as hell. He noted that Jethro Tull has had 34 members over the years, the same as Spinal Tap.

[@robinbeers6689]

@@martygrale I may make you feel but I can't make you think.

[@sc00b4s7eve]

I agree that Thick as a Brick is a brilliant and beautiful album. I have a formative memory of slowly driving a dirt road up a mountain at sunrise to that album. Ian Anderson is also quite a brilliant lyricist as well. Aqualung is an album that is great from beginning to end and reading about the very short time they had to write and record one of their most famous albums is most impressive. Spoilers: They recorded their 4th studio album in the same 17th century converted chapel, and state of the art recording studio, that Led Zeppelin recorded “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven”. Those insanely iconic studios are referred to as Island Studio One and Island Studio Two. But, Almost any interview where they get to talk about their music is insightful.

[@Cayoalbuquerque]

Wait, what?! Not only can you replicate every single vocal technique, you can also play the flute and replicate some intricate Ian Anderson phrases? That's dedication at its peak! Keep rocking!

[@Anton...M]

How does this sweet young lady know all the intricacies of all the techniques of singing and sound production? And she even dismantled Ian Anderson’s entire flute performance into atoms. I didn't even see it in the flutists' reactions. I learn so much after every viewing. Bravissimo.

[@joeb4142]

She sang with the London Symphony Orchestra when she was 12 so she knows some stuff.

[@camannwordsmith]

I have yet to see her stumped, even with things that perplex every other vocal coach. And not only can she explain it - she can actually DEMONSTRATE it, even the most obscure and bizarre things. It's delightful

[@johnshea294]

I had the distinct pleasure to see Jethro Tull in concert in the early to mid-70s and again in the early 80s. Locomotive Breath was a concert staple. It never failed to get the audience on their feet.

[@chrisd7047]

Jethro Tull has 2 of my all-time favorite songs. One is called "Teacher," and the other is "Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)." I encourage everyone to listen to those songs.

[@TheMusicmon64]

Somethings on the Move and the Whistler are two more favorites in a great catalog of sound...

Ian Anderson was an extraordinary flute player, usually standing on one leg (for ages) whilst playing (flauting? Flooting?). Jethro Tull were ace. Love from Annie, in Cornwall🙂🌸

@@ydnahs09 I know that, and I know he’s still performing, though obv less often. I meant ‘was’ as in at that time in “pop” music playing the flute was unusual, to say the least, playing a flute the way Ian played it, on one leg wearing pretty weird (even for then) clothes, was even more unusual.

[@briantimm7197]

I'm new to your channel, and was surprised that you have become such a talented singer and flautist without knowledge of Jethro Tull? Ian is quite the showman/madman, a true "Minstrel in the Gallery." You will not be disappointed with JT as you listen through their entire works!

[@stpetie7686]

You truly will enjoy more Tull. They created some of the better music of the 70's. And for me anyway, that's saying something.

[@Bogie3855]

I think the best part of their show is the 10 minute intro that weaves in and out of a dozen intricate rhythms flawlessly. Absolutely amazing. I have been well entertained by Anderson and the boys. I must have 100hrs of Tull and Anderson.

[@toddlower5546]

The flute solo from the 1976 Tampa concert really is a must for anyone who has studied the flute. Don’t worry there is singing (of a sort) in the flute solo. Even if it isn’t right for your channel you DO want to see/listen to this one.

[@primalengland]

Agree

[@howardsmith3758]

The flute solo is awesome, and what I think will harmonize best with one of Voice Mother's analysis themes is Ian's "beat-boxing" during his flute playing. A pretty neat trick since the concert happened before beat boxing was really invented, I think. ((See what I did there...harmonize? (pathetic))

I've had a pleasure of seeing jethro tall with ian anderson twelve times in five of the seven decades have performed. The first time I saw the in nineteen seventy seven. The twelfth time I took my fourteen year old daughter to see them live. They toured the US in 2023. Which I didn't get a chance to go to. Ian Anderson never disappointed. Any of the shows I want to. Thank you for this. It's always fun to watch your expressions Hearing performers for the first time.

[@primalengland]

Jethro Tull was an early 1700s inventor of the seed drill and a very divisive character. Ian Anderson fronts the band that I first saw in 1972, and have seen many times since. Ian is a fabulous character. You should check him out.

[@kemowery]

My favorite Jethro Tull album is 1977's Songs From The Wood. I think you'd dig it. Lots of pastoral and folk magic imagery. The song Jack In The Green is probably too short for a good reaction video (under 3 minutes) but there's good videos out there for the songs Velvet Green, Songs From The Wood, and Hunting Girl.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

100% Agreed..I not only think the whole album is absolute fire from the beginning to the very end & although they have many great albums,, I also think that (In my humble opinion) "Songs From The Wood" is the best "Starter" album for someone who is new to Jethro Tull & Has a nice variety of their sounds/styles..I bought the album the very first day it was released/delivered to the music stores where I lived at that time.

Back in high school, a friend and I did a project together. I wrote an epic poem on the building of the first transcontinental railroad, and he did a painting. He picked Locomotive Breath as the 'background' music while I read the poem. It was awesome. (great selection, Mike!)

[@jimatyeo]

Jethro Tull is one of the best bands of all time. I have seen them 3 times live and they have always put on amazing shows. The main people of course are Ian Anderson singer /flute player extraordinaire and Martin Barre on guitar. They did change drummers and bass player once in awhile. But it is Ian and Martin that make up the core of their sound. There is no other band that sounds like them. They are definitely at the top of my desert island list. I have been a fan so long that my first 8 track tape purchase was JT's Benefit album. Glad you were able to do one of their songs for your analysis. Cheerio. side note, also a good song by JT

Flying into the audience, haha. A friend of mine interviewed Ian A. a long time ago on the radio for a "Deep Dive" Rock radio show. He said he kept hearing all these sniffing sounds going on.

Your musical Theory and instrumental prowess and vocal knowledge is great. As a lifelong musician I really love it when we get that kind of thing. I have followed Elizabeth Zaroff over on her the charismatic voice Channel since near the beginning, and I do follow tons of reactors of all sorts, almost invariably people that react to music. Especially older music. But somehow you and Elizabeth are similar in that you both know a lot and have experienced, but can communicate it so well, and bring a sense of fun while doing it. Love it.❤

I read an interview with the singer/flutist years ago, where he talked about his kid. She was learning to play flute in school, and asked for some help. So he showed her how he played things, but she told him he was doing it wrong. Turns out that since he basically taught himself, he learned a bunch of alternate fingerings instead of the normal ones, and had been playing the hard way for decades.

@@randyhochstein8455 Baddest Blues or War on My Mind. Both are truly gorgeous songs. Also glad to see Tull covered. Ian's stuff is the only thing I buy cold without hearing it first. And I have seen him in concert 3 times, which is 2 more than I have seen any other band.

A friend introduced me to his favorite band, Jethro Tull, one night after playing D&D. We were listening to JT, on albums, until about 3AM. Thankfully, he had a wife who was a heavy sleeper. I immediately went out and bought the anniversary box set. I literally wrote every paper in college with JT playing on my headphones. If you really have some time, Thick as a Brick, the album.

[@fredkrissman6527]

I already surprised you with my sub... So there's THAT! Saw Tull twice in the 1970s. Never a showman that could equal IanAnderson (who effectively IS JethroTull, like RogerWaters IS PINK)! Lots more songs of Ian playing his flute, so follow the suggestions here please. He gave up guitar to pick up as a complete newbie, the flute when he first organized the Tull band. Ian sez that this song is about, of all things, the runaway train of human population growth?!?

I'm from Detroit and 70 ,I seen these guys everytime they came to town

Too bad you didn't get a piece where he did a lot of his usual vocalizing through the flute, (inspired by jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk), while standing on one leg. The 1970 Isle of Wight performance of "My God" is a good example of that. A really good demonstration of his unusual techniques is the epic 1976 flute solo at Tampa Stadium(7:11). There is a very funny reaction to that by Finnish based flute teacher Heline on her "Heline" channel from a few years ago. His antics blew her mind and she became a fan. Just see " jethro tull tampa stadium heline". Very entertaining.

Jethro Tull is what happens when you give a bard a rock band.

[@gwynnlyell2539]

I had to subscribe after seeing your energy. I had the good fortune to see Jethro Tull, live twice. They put on quite a show.

[@MrJonperrin]

And Lolli begins a trip down yet another rabbit hole full of amazing stuff!

[@DavidTateVA]

I can't express the visceral pain of hearing such a knowledgeable and experienced musician say they've never heard of Jethro Tull. Insert sad old man face here. On the bright side, you have a wonderful new rabbit hole to wander down. Pretty sure you will love almost all of it. Word of warning: studio Tull and live Tull are both awesome, but totally different.

[@sozo5]

I saw him in his hey day in the 70s twice. Great showmanship! He would play the flute while standing on one leg with other leg in an up position like a stork. He wore tights with boots and like a sequins jockstrap… A draping medieval coat… quite a fantastic effect.

[@padraighallinan4903]

OMG I'm Back 40 yrs. Watched Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC after a evening on the pints in my teens/twenties and these guys were my favorite. Well done for 'connecting'.

[@elskid206]

You're a very unique individual. I appreciate your appreciation of a band I've followed for 40 years. You could do a whole KZbin channel on various songs and albums of Jethro Tull, led by Ian Anderson on the flute. I'd pay money to watch you react to various albums and songs within. Minstrel in the Gallery and Thick as a Brick are stunning. You just will not believe them.

[@jim55price]

Dear FVM, given that you're my favorite reactor by far, and also a flautist, I find it especially rewarding to see you here discovering Jethro Tull, my #1 band of choice for the past 49 years. That's right -- I first heard Tull in probably 1970 or '71, but it didn't become my main band until 1974. It's been my personal belief since then that, 400 years from now, assuming society still exists at all, we'll be studying Ian Anderson's lyrics (poetry) the way we study William Shakespeare today. This being your first exposure to Tull, let me assure you that you have only just scratched the surface. Please do immerse yourself in this band's entire catalogue spanning literally more than 50 years of amazing productivity. Fair warning : you will probably cry when you find what Ian did to his voice during that length of time. He literally had to learn to sing all over again, & voice #2 is only a shadow of voice #1. The astounding music, though, and the incredible lyrics -- well, you just have to experience them for yourself. Happy listening, dear FVM. Please do buckle up. Cheers.

[@alecfed]

Great reaction and thanks for the lesson on how Ian creates the different sounds on his flute. I'd love to hear you play something, you seem extremely talented.

[@Cameron5043]

What a fabulous reaction!!! Love Jethro Tull, love Locomotive Breath, and what an incredible analysis! Heavy Horses is another amazing Tull song ( from the album of the same name), their entire album Songs from the Wood, Bourrée (if you want more flute!), heck, anything they ever did! More Tull! And look at you on the flute! I had no idea! You just made my day!

[@YvesGagnon-mm8pd]

I saw Jethro Tull at the Montreal Forum in 1978 and it's one of the shows that I loved more with Who, the Rolling Stones and Ozzy with Randy Rhoads than I remember.

[@BenSmith624]

"Good work fabulous rock and roll flutey man" is my favorite sentence ive heard all week 😂

[@stratsurvivor]

Thank you for your analysis. Made me enjoy the song even more, through your reactions. XOXO

[@glensmith9072]

What a great reaction. Very and enjoyable. Full of life

[@ThatRagamuffin]

I never thought of the flute as an instrument you could shred on, until I heard Ian Anderson play.

[@brianboye8025]

I love your reaction and everything you bring to your video. Wonderful

[@Dayison]

OMG, this by far is my favorite reaction video. As a wanted-to-be-former-bass-player, I love that you picked out the awesome playing going on here. Not to mention the drums and other things beyond my comprehension. Well done! I so look forward to more of your videos!

[@lifeonthedeathstar6932]

You are the funniest and most interesting of the reaction folks on the tubes

[@chipurBillWhite]

You’re very gifted and talented. Always learn something when I stop by. Ty…

[@gerardgraham9959]

To listen to Tull is an addictive experience. The constant ryythmic opening of the song is meant to mimic the sound of a locomotive train, cool touch!

[@ThistleAndSea]

Fabulous! You combine adorable, crazy energy with knowledge & chops and a sheer joy for music that is infectious. Well done, you! 😄 So, Tull and Ian Anderson himself are WELL worth a vey deep dive when you are ready for it. For example, treat yourself to the studio version of Locomotive Breath and you will absolutely LOVE the classical/jazzy intricate and understated piano intro that was nowhere to be seen/heard in their concert version. Tull's live performances are legendary for the showmanship and Ian dancing about and playing his flute while standing on one leg (Yes, yes he does) BUT the intricate and sophisticated song craft often goes right out the window in the live performances in favor of the hyper chaotic, crowd pleasing energy. Both are fabulous, but make sure you treat yourself to the full breadth of what is Jethro Tull. 🙂

[@joescott8877]

She really IS all that, ain't she? Love her channel. And WTF happened to the cool piano intro here?? I've got at least three live versions of "Breath" on my playlist that has it. Oh, well, maybe she'll hear it someday!

[@garguntoter]

Subbed because you have great taste in liking Jethro Tull and one of my favorite songs, I can not listen to this without getting chills every time. Look forward to watching more of your vids.

[@richardtaylor6187]

This is actually a medley of two different songs produced many years apart. Just a great, great band! And it's so much fun to watch you react and enjoy this. I saw them live twice back in the day. You would have loved the shows! Ian is a flute master. Many songs reveals his skill and invention.
