When I bought the CD it came with an extra and the band talks about recording it. It's interesting and quite funny. Ian talks about coming up with the concept album of all concept albums, and yes they were making fun of all the bands that were doing that.
The drummer here, Barriemore Barlow, was considered for Led Zeppelin when John Bohnam passed away. Bonham had previously called Barlow "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced". #trivia
I remember this live stream like it was yesterday I remember seeing this and my eyes lite up, your reaction was priceless your faces during the song were brilliant. I loved your channel bro and I still do your one of the first music reaction channels that were on CZcams at the time. Thanks for posting and listening to great music
Great times. I had this on cassette, stole it from my dad. Life changing indeed. School boy genius writes treatise excoriating the system and adults flip their wigs. Go Little Milton!
The original album had a whole fold out newspaper with stories on it and everything! We'd listen all day long lol What does it say about the world that we still listen to it all day long lol *cryface Not much changes, no matter how hard we tried.
Looking back man , we're all dumfounded by the fuckin genius of the greatest music era in modern history which was the 1970s .....compared to corporate now...🤮
As far as drugs go Ian Anderson was very much against using drugs within the band -- He would fire anyone who indulged --- Ian is just out there naturally -- Love his twists on words and humor
My first concert was Jethro Tull 1971 I was 13 years old. It was the “Aqualung tour”, I was hooked. Of course I went to the, “Thick as a Brick”, concert and saw them several more times throughout the years.
I still remember the first time I saw a copy of this album in the bin at the record store when it came out. I thought, "What IS that?' Found out. I sat through your reaction to the whole thing and really enjoyed it. You know how to appreciate music. And I agree that even if you don't like it, you have to respect it. My mother, however, couldn't stand it and said that it sounded like drunks singing in the gutter. LOL.
lol This is way complex. Congrats to you being able to take it all in. This is my favorite Tull album. Aqualung is not far behind at all. Probably only reason is if you saw it live you'd see just how much energy it takes to create this masterpiece with no break.
Life changing you say - huh - perhaps so. Maybe THAT’S what happened all those years ago. It WAS a long time ago, after all. Hard to recall now. Lol, for me , it all began with Stand Up, in 1969, and it’s never been the same since. Ok boomer, indeed! We may be old now, but we got to see all the best bands in their prime. Seriously though, it’s so great to see a new generation discovering this magic that Ian Anderson created all those decades ago. Your reactions are so much fun to watch!
I heard that they put this together day by day. Ian Anderson would just show up each morning with a new bit to add to it. You really have to see a live performance of this band.
There are interviews (found on Spotify) with Anderson and the guitarist Martin Barr describing the whole process and just the day-to-day circumstances surrounding the creation of this album. Barr is especially funny!
Hi Weeaboo. Just one song. Since it came out on vinyl - we had to flip it over and play 'Thick As A Brick' pt 2 - but it was just the continuation of the song on the first side.
Yup. Also Tull's Aqualung album was called a concept album. So the band said you wanna see concept album. We're gonna make a one song album. The LP art was created to add to the concept. Funny enough, the stories on the cover have little to nothing to do with the song. Tull disliked being niched.
I am 62. This was the theme track to our tumultuous, ragged, protesting sign carrying endless meeting here come the cops, lives. 🤣50 years, half a century later, can you imagine how lovely it is to see young people loving it too?
It is really one song. The only reason it is split up is that 33 1/3 LPs back in the day could only handle about 23 minutes of music per side. So, they split it into two "parts".
I knew my girl was The One when I discovered that, not only does she have this on vinyl, but knows all the words. It was listening to music like this that made drugs superfluous for me. I never needed them.
You're asking how can someone go in the studio and record something like that? For the tour, the band would open with the complete 43 minute piece, expanded with a few Pythonesque comic bits thrown for a laugh. At one point, a phone rings in the middle of "Part 1" and Anderson stops to answer it (it was Mike Nelson from Sea Hunt looking to borrow an extra "Aqualung..." wink-wink, nudge-nudge). At the conclusion of the full song, and the audience was applauding, Anderson then said the immortal line, "And now for our SECOND number if the evening..." Brought the house down. They then played more conventional length songs for another 60-90 minutes. After the final encore, the phone rang again. Anderson ran back to answer it, then holds it up to the audience, and says, "It's for you..." Blackout.
This is a masterpiece and it's wonderful to see your appreciation of it. I bought the record when it was released in 1973 when I was 15 . Try Aqualung next (their previous album). Thanks for the video (and yes, they're British!)
You should have watched this live to appreciate what great musicians were in Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson is a true genius. You should do more Tull. What they were doing in the late 60's and early 70's was way ahead of their time and was copied by many. I attended 11 Tull concerts and never went away disappointed. Definitely my favorite band. It is a crime that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
To this day my favorites from weaboo is Stranglehold and Feel like we do by Uncle Ted and Uncle Framp. Best album reaction was operation mindcrime. I been here for awhile👍
Dude! These guys were actually better live in concert than their albums. :) You need to listen to their earlier stuff, like "Locomotive Breath" live. Check it out.
You need to see this live as well, this band was epic live and Ian is like no other front man then or now! Live from MSG 1978: www.dailymotion.com/video/xt8bah
Don’t ask how I did it, but I did. Album reaction starts at 8:20
We're not worthy!
How soft were your elbows after this?
only two tracks... you said so yourself. ;)

This album would sound nothing like it does if Clive Bunker was still in the group..Barlow is pure genius.

This album just turned 50 today. Holy mackerel, insane how good this sounds still even after all those years
And still as applicable.
"I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no one judges me!" Ian Anderson is a genius!
Bought this the day it was released, masterpiece then, masterpiece still...ty Weaboo...
Man, Jethro Tull is life changing!
Great times. I had this on cassette, stole it from my dad. Life changing indeed. School boy genius writes treatise excoriating the system and adults flip their wigs. Go Little Milton!

The lyrics may be more appropriate today than when they were written.
Still have my orginal vinyl copy and I was also lucky enough to hear Tull play Thick as a Brick in 1971 .
Looking back man , we're all dumfounded by the fuckin genius of the greatest music era in modern history which was the 1970s .....compared to corporate now...🤮
Weaboo "They just gunna do it like this today..."
Me, "you have no idea where this is going yet....."
As far as drugs go Ian Anderson was very much against using drugs within the band -- He would fire anyone who indulged --- Ian is just out there naturally -- Love his twists on words and humor
I was hoping beyond hope this still existed!
My first concert was Jethro Tull 1971 I was 13 years old. It was the “Aqualung tour”, I was hooked. Of course I went to the, “Thick as a Brick”, concert and saw them several more times throughout the years.
If I had a genie is a bottle I would wish to forget this album so I could listen to it again for the first time.
I'm so glad you managed to find this one, this was one of my personal favorite streams of yours from years ago!
I had this on 8 track in 78. Still have it. Saw the TAAB 1 -2 concert. Love it. Where the hell is Biggles anyway?

28:41 Ian Anderson wrote those lyrics when he was 24 years old, just turned 77, long live you Sir.

This is one of my fave reactions. Totally brought back my own jaw-dropping moments with this music.

A masterpiece
Alright Alright! Tull brings it!
It's a hell of a ride every time I listen to it. And My first listen was in my car in 1972.
never thought i'd be able to see this one again.
Just where the hell is Biggles?!
Not sure but I needed him last Saturday.
Biggles flies undone
I always thought Biggles was in Cornwall with the sportsmen.
I am 62. This was the theme track to our tumultuous, ragged, protesting sign carrying endless meeting here come the cops, lives. 🤣50 years, half a century later, can you imagine how lovely it is to see young people loving it too?
So glad you reviewed this! A classic by Tull!

This 8 bit or 16 bit version of man in the box for an intro is fckin wild. Love you for that man hahhah Top G.
I knew my girl was The One when I discovered that, not only does she have this on vinyl, but knows all the words.
It was listening to music like this that made drugs superfluous for me. I never needed them.

Congratulations for discovering real music. I've literally heard this 1000 times since it came out.
This is a masterpiece and it's wonderful to see your appreciation of it. I bought the record when it was released in 1973 when I was 15 . Try Aqualung next (their previous album). Thanks for the video (and yes, they're British!)
Do you believe in the day? Do You?
I love this album, good one to listen to when you're shrooming

Wipipo is magical people and ya can't deny that shit.

"Never Let You Go" official video 🙌❤️
If you can get your hands on the original album cover, do it.
Oh hell yeah!
“while the wise man breaks wind and is gone”
"Bitch, that was magical! There's some Disney shit happening!"
This was one of my favorite reactions. Glad you re-upload it.
I love you for this video.
Dude! These guys were actually better live in concert than their albums. :) You need to listen to their earlier stuff, like "Locomotive Breath" live. Check it out.
"Mongrel dog soils actor's foot" ... lol.
I heard that Jethro Tull had to do the second half all over again because they lost the original tapes!
Where’s the flute solo reaction my brother
ONE song, two sides to the album
Alright, Think As a Brick, lets see how you like it........
Roll it cuz
Hilarious 😂 reaction to a masterpiece.
Every time you bring the lotion out I get nervous
You think Thick As A Brick is life changing...? Try A Passion Play... It came out about a year after Thick....

I remember Bill Burr saying, "People need lotion!"
Can't get through the intro
You need to see this live as well, this band was epic live and Ian is like no other front man then or now! Live from MSG 1978: www.dailymotion.com/video/xt8bah
